Among the deliberations of the municipal council of the City of Grenoble, Monday December 16, 2024, in addition to the pass of arms between the majority and the oppositions on the subject of the development of the Place de Metz, was the vote on the initial 2025 budget. This in a more than uncertain context linked to recent government turmoil and therefore to a finance bill still running out of steam. However, new budgetary rigors are emerging for local authorities, like those planned by the late Barnier government.
Vincent Fristot, the Finance Deputy responsible for the deliberation, unsurprisingly detailed a scenario that is a carbon copy of that presented during the budgetary orientation debate on November 5, 2024.

The elected official did not fail to recall that, if the Barnier government had not fallen, the City of Grenoble, like all the other local authorities in France, would have had to come under its caudine forks, with key to the recommended savings measures.
The fact remains that, for the moment, nothing has been done. The City of Grenoble therefore does not really know how a budget of more than 337 million euros in operating costs and more than 129 million euros in investments will be used.
