At the turn of a modifying budgetary decision, Véronique Ferreira, mayor of Blanquefort, wished to alert the Municipal Council this Monday, November 25, on government announcements, in particular on the increase in contributions from territorial employers to make up the deficit of the National Fund of pensions for agents (permanent only) of local authorities (CNRACL). Fund which was in balance before 2017. The demographic imbalance between retirees and workers and financial drains aimed at supplying other funds in difficulty at the time are at the origin of the slippage.
1.8 million euros in total
To put the accounts back on track, the government is planning a 12-point increase in employer contributions spread over three or four years. “If we don't touch anything (no advancement in grade, no recruitment, constant old age-technical shift), the four points of increase in 2025 will represent roughly 300,000 euros. Then we will go up to 600,000 euros in 2026 and 900,000 euros in three or four years. Cumulatively, that makes 1.8 million. This represents the payment of 60 agents working for our children in schools, calculates the mayor. This measure is all the harder to swallow as it will be long-lasting. All municipalities are affected. In fact, the State will force communities to ask themselves a lot of questions about the recruitment or replacement of agents, the fact of favoring contract workers over permanent employees. »

O. D.
The problem of deterioration of public services risks arising in municipalities already financially strangled. Going in the same direction, opposition elected official Marc François sees it as the mark of “forty years of state negligence”. “The CNRACL had a significant surplus in the 1980s and 1990s due to numerous recruitments linked to skills transfers. Instead of finding fundamental solutions, we preferred to press a single button. By taking money from where there was money. Today, we are up against the wall. » The elected official fears in the long term the death of the status of titular agent.
