In 2022, the city of Cahors was selected by the State to host an administrative service of the Gendarmerie and its 32 agents, as part of decentralization. However, given the budgetary context, the government has put this project on hold. The senator of the lot does not hear it that way.

It was a cold shower for the town of Cahors which had prepared to welcome 32 agents from the Ministry of the Interior and their families as part of the decentralization of state services, during the year 2025. The commitment made by state services may not be kept, at least that is what Lot senator Jean-Marc Vayssouze announces.

Tuesday, in the Senate chamber, he intervened to confront the State with its responsibilities in this matter, specifying that “such a step backwards would be deemed unacceptable.. Because, he justifies: “ In 2021, Gérald Darmanin, then Minister of the Interior, announced that central administration agents stationed in or Île-de- would be redeployed to candidate cities to welcome them. On March 16, 2022, Cahors was selected,” recalls Jean-Marc Vayssouze.

Faced with governmental instability, the senator from Lot warned: “A State which does not keep its commitments is a State which undermines confidence by letting anger eat away at the territories. Respect for the word of the State is a principle of credibility and continuity. » In response, Othman Nasrou, Secretary of State to the Minister of the Interior, declared that “the relocation project to Cahors is the subject of additional studies” in a context of budgetary uncertainty.
