Barnier, do you hear the anger of the local elected officials of Alès agglo ?

Christophe Rivenq, président de l’agglomération d’Alès. S. B. – STEPHANE BARBIER

Mercredi 16 octobre, lors du conseil communautaire salle de l’Atome, les élus ont évoqué, avec crainte, la perspective des économies annoncées dans le cadre du projet de loi de finances 2025 par le Premier ministre Michel Barnier.

If the Prime Minister had his ears wide open on the debate held, Wednesday October 16, by the elected representatives of Alès agglomeration on the subject of his quest for savings announced as part of the draft finance law (PLF) for 2025, there is no doubt that they are still whistling this morning … " The elimination of the allocation is 5 billion. And even more if we apply the change in VAT. A contribution will also weigh on the communities whose budget exceeds 40 million euros. In the Gard, there is Alès agglo which will have to pay 2,120 M€ and 976,000€ for Alès… ” A wind of financial aridity that Christophe Rivenq lets into the Atome room and blows even harder on the heads of elected officials when the president mentions the cost of the revaluation of civil servants' salaries, combined with the desire not to consider the explosive hypothesis of increasing taxes…

I am angry that we can be made to believe that we are going to tax the rich and that this Prime Minister is Robin Hood.

" Barnier is hitting everywhere, this is real austerity, continues Sylvain André, mayor of Cendras. Those who will suffer will be the most deprived because the vector of equality is public services… And I am angry that we can be made to believe that we are going to tax the rich and that this Prime Minister is Robin Hood. It is crazy to try to make people swallow this! "
" The second blade is investment, warns Patrick Malavieille, mayor of Grand Combe. When we see the investments made by communities for the benefit of businesses and the local economy, we really have cause for concern. Because, from the moment we limit operating expenses, we will limit investment and this will have concrete results in projects, construction sites that cannot be carried out. ” Hello Michel ?
