FIGAROVOX / TRIBUNE – A financial audit has upgraded the alarming situation of the former region Poitou-Charentes, Ségolène Royal of the time was the president. Jean-Luc Boeuf, the political crisis that ensued only reveals the failure of the “regionalization” operation.

Several billion savings.. This is what was supposed to bring the new territorial division, with the front row mergers regions. In the same spirit, the government Valls pévoyait readability for the voter, simplicity for citizens and savings for the taxpayer. Las! The political crisis triggered by the audit of the accounts of the former Poitou-Charentes region only reveals the failure of the “regionalization” operation.
The costs of decentralization 400
The case of Poitou-Charentes is a textbook example of the consequences of mergers effected regions forced march. But it is not isolated. Already before the regional elections, elected the former Picardy region had denounced that their area is less indebted than Nord-Pas de Calais, the future taxpayer would pay for the merger. More recently, the new executive of the Auvergne – Rhône Alpes has moved the financial position of the former Auvergne. With further analysis, the scandal of Poitou-Chaentes actually marks the failure of the “model” French regional introduced since the 1980 First because the regions were stripped of the tax authority at the end Then the 2000s because in the transferred competencies are regional express transport. Or the regions can not be propriéaires trains finacnent yet they completely! Under these conditions, the “acquisitions” by leasing the old Poitou-Charentes region is not an isolated case. Finally, because the regions have been requested by the other partners, as well as by the state by the municipalities, intermunicipal and departments, for actions outside their fields of expertise.

beyond the scandal, that he is going to happen in reality? Financially, the new regional entity Aquitaine – Poitou-Charentes – Limousin will be secured commitments from previous regions, whether loans or various suppliers invoices. A new region thus estimate (of) cost of debt and pay commitments made under the terms of office of Ségolène Royal. This is the melting material rule authorities, whether by municipalities or regions. Politically, the settling of friends will disorient a little more socialist voters, and that in a year of presidential elections. At the judicial level, a long battle of experts will open on the research responsibilities, political and administative. It is on the citizen level that the damage likely to be the strongest, throwing a bit more discredit on the poltique system.
