Suburban elected officials want the creation of a public spending observatory

In an article published in Le Monde for the attention of Emmanuel Macron, these elected officials call for the creation "as soon as possible" of this national observatory to geolocate public budgets.

A data according to them "objective", which will count the financial contributions "of the State, Social Security and local authorities, territory by territory", in order to launch a debate on "real inequalities".

Far from the speeches on the "billions dumped on the suburbs" heard during the riots, the mayors recall that the city policy appropriations are "less than 1% of the state budget" for neighborhoods which bring together "nearly 10% of the French population and where the poorest and most precarious are concentrated.

They also recall that the budgets of the National Agency for Urban Renewal (Anru) do not come from State funds but from the joint organization Action logement (formerly 1% housing) and social landlords.

In a separate press release, the Trappes town hall announced that it had adopted a motion requesting the creation of this observatory during its last municipal council.

"Far from being privileged, several reports (...) demonstrate that the city's political districts (QPV) tend to be disadvantaged, moreover in view of the social difficulties they accumulate", underlines the town hall, which is beating in undermines the declarations of Secretary of State for the City Sabrina Agresti-Roubache on “checkbook politics”.

Elected officials wish to “rationalize the public debate”, “rebalance the balance of power in the budgetary dialogue with the State” and “correct inequalities”.
