THE SCAN POLICY – The National Assembly made public for the second consecutive year the amount and details of the distribution of this envelope which parliamentarians initially have to “support destabilized communities”
This is a practical expression of public life transparency rules: the National Assembly each year reveals the allocation details of the parliamentary reservation a sum that each Member may allocate to projects, associations or joint of choice. Initially opaque, this envelope is regularly pinned to clientelistic practices that make some elected. From a total of € 80 million for the Assembly, it is distributed to the tune of 130,000 euros per year for every member. Committee chairmen, quaestors and Assembly Vice-Presidents hit the double at 260,000 euros. The President of the Assembly entitled him to 520.000 euros.
The original spirit of the parliamentary reservation was to “support communities destabilized by exceptional circumstances justifying the implementation of national solidarity” . The reality is quite different. This is also in the interests of greater transparency that the President of the Assembly Claude Bartolone wanted this for free access of data for each elected. Scan was immersed in this cascade of numbers to draw some sights.
● The most generous and most efficient
The title of biggest donor returns to the MP Gilles Carrez, UMP deputy of Val-de-Marne, which distributes 555,000 euros, of which 350,000 are allocated to the city of Perreux-sur-Marne, where he is mayor. Then Claude Bartolone, President of the Assembly which grants including 190,000 euros to the town of Romainville and two envelopes of 90,000 euros to municipalities des Lilas and Pré-Saint-Gervais. Christian Jacob (UMP) gives 100,000 euros to his city of Provins. At least gift documented reverse is paid by the Group GDR (communist): 67 euros invested in the “facilities of a hall.” Philippe Gosselin (UMP), elected the Channel gave him 240 euros for the renovation of a memorial.
● The highly political donations
The UMP Sébastien Huyghe and Eric Ciotti gave 1,000 euros each in community crèche Baby Loup, which was the scene of a controversy following the dismissal of a veiled woman. UNI, the union close to the UMP receives subsidies from Gilles Carrez up to 10,000 euros. Unlike the union UNEF near the PS receives 10,000 euros of rebellious Pouria Amirshahi MP. It may be noted that the Southern League MP Jacques Bompard pay 16,000 euros to the common Bollène whose mayor is his wife. Note also the grant of 30,000 paid by Malek Boutih to “Grigny Future”. This association is chaired by Sidi Bendiab, the head of the list on which the member was presented to municipal March 2014 in an attempt to take the city to the PCF. The member FN Vaucluse, Marion Maréchal-Le Pen, who said “have trouble refourguer its reservation” gives 3000 euros to Scouting movement “Europascout”.
● If Patrick Balkany
Faced with legal troubles, Patrick Balkany not in the documents published by the Assembly. Two possibilities to explain this situation: either he has not granted the amount of the reserve, or funding issues were not conform. According to information from LCP, Patrick Balkany tried to fund a new video surveillance system in his city of Levallois, thanks to its reserve. Dismissed by the Ministry of the Interior, who would have preferred to reclassify the grant application folder.
● Animal lovers
Numerous members choose to financially assist animal associations. The Green MP Laurence Bee gives eg 3000 euros to “Bee Machine”, which according to his Facebook page, is a “peri-urban beekeeping association” of the Val-de-Marne. Gilbert Collard, who sits among the “non-registered” under the label Gathering Blue Marine, supports the association “Free cats Saint-Gilles,” which promotes the sterilization of stray cats. It also funds the Association for maintenance of the jingoistic cow, and “Club Bullfighting Paul Ricard Africion Aigues Vivoises”. The UMP Damien Meslot using “Noah’s Ark” animal protection association. On another note, many elected officials prefer them support associations and hunting clubs.
● The end gourmet

The Green MP Christophe Cavard elected Gard, finance the “Kollectif of Chickpea Hidden”, which annually organizes the “pea chick festival” celebrating “Local légimuneuse”. Delphine Batho (PS), a former environment minister, gave, in 2014, 4000 euros of its envelope to the combination of the “House of goat cheese” in the Deux-Sèvres. Always cheese side, Jean-Francois Cope, mayor of Meaux, finance the “brotherhood of Brie de Meaux.”
A few minutes after the posting of data on parliamentary reservation Ministers of Interior and Finance Bernard Cazeneuve and Michel Sapin unveiled a letter in which they vote for reform of this use, while welcoming the progress already made transparent. For its part the first secretary of the Socialist Party Jean-Christophe Cambadélis had integrated the suppression of parliamentary reservation in his contribution, before removing it.
