“You will be paid” says Charles de Courson to elected officials

This Saturday, November 16, 2024, during the 72^e congress of mayors of Marne, Charles de Courson announced that as part of the end-of-management finance bill, discussed in the National Assembly from November 19, 2024, 1.6 billion euros should be released to settle unpaid rent for the gendarmerie. “ You will be paid in the first quarter of 2025 for the rents for the last two quarters of 2024. We cannot say that this reflects good management of public finances! ».

In question, the bonuses of the Olympic Games

The management of gendarmerie premises differs from one department to another. Of the 3 728 barracks occupied on the national territory, alone 649 are state property. The other 3,079 premises belong to municipalities, intercos, Departments but also to social landlords such as in Marne, Aisne or Ardennes. And it is on this side that the rents for the 3rd and 4th quarters of 2024 have not been paid to the owners.

In question, bonuses of up to €1,600 paid to gendarmes and police volunteers to ensure the security of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. These unpaid amounts are only beginning to be brought to light because they are often paid quarterly and they are not paid directly to owners but via the general treasury.
