In the Department of Morbihan, the left disagrees on the savings to be made

On December 16, 2024, the Morbihan department will vote on its 2025 budget with the prospect of a drain by the State on community revenues, due to its own deficit. The departmental majority chose to suspend the Territorial Solidarity Program, i.e. 16.5 million euros planned for 2025. « This program provides support to municipalities, including the smallest. The shutdown will mean reduced investment in the local economy and therefore threats to jobs » , confides Mathieu Glaz, departmental councilor for the canton of Lorient North.

The financial health of the department is good. We have room for maneuver, we have a department which does not have any borrowings. Is this good management? “, asks Marie Le Boderrf, advisor in Questembert.

For left-wing and environmentalist elected officials, we could, for example, reduce non-priority investments in marinas or stop providing subsidies for the renovation of private castles.”
