[Appel] Let's save the local Republic

Carole Delga: “I fully support this approach”

The socialist president of Occitanie / Pyrenees-Mediterranean and president of the Regions of France responds to the call of “La Marseillaise”.

With the announcement of the 2025 finance bill, the State is once again attacking community finances to fill a deficit that successive governments have themselves widened. I have already said it, I am not opposed to the efforts of communities in the recovery of the country's accounts, but it still has to be fair! We are the first public investors in the daily lives of the French. The PLF could have serious consequences on growth, local employment, public procurement and the quality of public services, and it is unthinkable to let our citizens pay the consequences. As President of the Regions of France, I continue to bring this voice to Matignon and to the Senate. Any initiative like that launched by La Marseillaise, which invites local authorities to come together and collectively consider alternatives, is welcome. I therefore fully support this approach which allows us to combine forces and defend this local Republic to which I am so attached. »

Gérard Frau: “Our group joins this call”
