Lille capital of the future region: it changes anything for the Northerner … and Picard? – La Voix du Nord

1. One step

Lille has emerged yesterday after the Council of Ministers. A choice that was an open secret after the arrival at Amiens, the eve of Prime Minister Manuel Valls to console the locality fallen leader (our edition yesterday) : the city will lose its title, but not its public employment, he said. “ The administration will remain on both sites ,” added yesterday to the press in his office Lille Jean-François Cordet, one of seven prefects “préfigurateurs” which made a report on the Manuel Valls topic. Clearly, if Lille draws most regional directorates (prefecture, public finance, culture, employment …), Amiens, which officially keeps agriculture and youth and social cohesion, retain deputy directors in each State service The prefect hammers Keyword:. “ p roximité” , “ regional balance ” “ sharing ” and “ simplification .” Although it is not always obvious, as in the case of a rector in Amiens maintained despite a regional super-Rector based in Lille … This will reassure everyone at four months of regional elections, where these guidelines will not be final until validation by … the elected regional councils on 6 and 13 December .

2. Concerns

From the user side, having to go to the other end of the super-region to administrative procedures is the main concern facing the reform. If it should not really affect the Yankees, who will see the contrary strengthened their services, Jean-François Cordet assures that the state will remain “ closer to the citizens ,” Picard same side where 22000 people signed the petition launched by elected representatives from all sides, for which only the title of capital was guarantor of this proximity. The prefect invokes “ logical ” distribution: a pole of industrial risks and the management of culture in Lille, but agriculture and a “dominant heritage” in the former Picardy capital . Manuel Valls has also promised Thursday the establishment of a national platform titles (passports, registration cards …) with one hundred employees. A consolation prize that looks like the one we received in Montpellier (a French agency of biodiversity), where the resistance is growing too?



3. And the savings

Who said reform transfer officials said. “ For each direction to accommodate ,” says Jean-François Cordet. Unions are lurking on the side of the 200,000 agents of the super-region (including 140000 Yankee side), who are also voters. Of these, only 1000 -in coaching – should move and no positions will be deleted. Yet the préfigurateur prefect of the super-region promises: “ We can encrypt budget savings of the reform on 1 January 2016 . “But he remains cautious:” I can not tell you how fast . “

Arras and Amiens challenge Lille

In the race under regional capital in recent months, Lille was the ultra-favorite city facing Amiens but Arras.

Arras keep his room

His rivals did not contest in Lille’s most populated metropolis of legitimacy of the future super-region, where the regional council already sat -the criteria for the twelve other regional capitals designated yesterday After the Council of Ministers. But the runners intend to remain the interlocutors of choice.

The new she will open capital and listening or folded on itself and refusing any dialogue? “asked yesterday in a scathing statement, Frederick Leturque, the mayor (UDI) of Arras where they keep the regional audit. It requires the capital of Flanders it is the “ guarantor of regional equity ” to his now 6 million inhabitants. At the head of the European metropolis of Lille, Damien Castelain replied in a statement to the modest triumphs, defending its role as ” engine throughout the country “and” vision of territorial solidarity . “
