The president responded, only partly the expectations of the AMF, while touting his economic record.
Sometimes synchronies are cruel. François Hollande, the lowest in the polls closed on Thursday, the 99th congress of mayors held under the slogan “Let’s make common cause.” The pun of the Association of Mayors of France, defending the 36,000 French communes, could leave some delegates dreamers, given the situation of a country blocked by strikes, budget problems of cities, weather and morale of the French.
local officials had anxiously awaited the result of the state’s head of trade-offs. As we announced on Thursday morning lefigaro.fr, Hollande responded only in part, the concerns of mayors. The AMF had claimed the judgment of the lower provisions, as recalled before the head of state Thursday Baroin, LR President of the MFA, and André Laignel, his deputy PS. Holland acknowledged that “the situation is tense, even unbearable for some of our cities.” “I decided to halve the effort required to municipalities and intermunicipal” said he announced about the reduction of lower provisions. In the room, those waiting more hissed. “We can judge that it is not enough,” them he said, justifying his decision by “the current state of public finances” which does not allow him to go further.
on the left, Olivier Dussopt, PS deputy of the Ardeche and president of the VFPA (Association of small towns of France), described as “very, very good news,” the amputation of lower provisions with balance all account for 2017. “This shows that François Hollande was listening,” he said, also welcoming in the renewal of investment support funds, increased to 1.2 billion. Others welcomed the personal commitment of Jean-Michel Baylet, Minister of Planning, Rural Affairs and Local Authorities in obtaining measures deemed “strong” for cities.
“He lied on the charge transfer. Do not compensate is unconstitutional. It is a scandal. I’m furious “
Right reactions were more mixed. Éric Berdoati, LR mayor of St. Cloud, denounced a “lie” and a “decoy”. For Berdoati who has decided to pursue a lawsuit against lower provisions, the bill represented 3.7 billion, not $ 2 billion in 2017. “He lied on the charge transfer. Do not compensate is unconstitutional. It is a scandal. I am furious, “has won the election.
Eric Ciotti, president of the county council LR Alpes-Maritimes, was less harsh. “We waited for a moratorium but common is a sign of interest,” he observed, bowing to a “significant victory” Baroin. “I expect this effort to be brought to all local authorities. Without it, there would rupture of equality, “he nevertheless considered.
” No mayor wants to live and suffer unpopularity of the tax policy he has not decided “
Thursday, Baroin had insisted that local officials reserve a” republican reception “at the head of state. Rumours had suggested that some could leave the room during the speech of François Hollande. Finally, without enthusiasm or excessive anger, assistance remained calm. The president of the AMF is probably able to maintain the serenity of the event because he chose to speak to the head of state in a tone both firm and live up to the communal exasperation. “No mayor wants to live and suffer the tax unpopularity of a policy that he has not decided,” he has said in his guest, without fear of denouncing “economic mistake.”
Unmoved, the head of state listened to this mixture of praise and criticism, sometimes tinged with irony (Baroin welcomed the former elected Corrèze recalling that this department had given two presidents) . Holland probably do it was under no illusions about the climate conference, but on Thursday there came by placing his choices in the context of constrained state of emergency at a time also when he says ” democracy is no longer itself. “
” Because you have to make choices, I can not grant all requests even if they are legitimate, “he added before renting communal identity, “matrix of national identity.” Above all, he was keen to praise his own record by citing the 50 billion reduction in public deficits. “With one year to the end of my mandate, I wanted to be in front of you to account,” said he said. And as if he would again place himself in the game of presidential elections, praising the “recovery”, Francois Hollande has said he reminded that figure “for everyone to make the necessary comparisons.”
