From now on, Philippe Bouty promises that he asked the services for 10 million euros in savings last spring, at a time when the government's finance bill did not exist and when the departmental majority swore that the finances of the community were in the green. Despite the increase in costs, the drop in revenue and the spectacular decline in net savings.
“The resistance is getting organized”
“The services have prepared a 2025 budget increasing by only 1% and I thank them for that. But if the PLF 2025 is voted on, that will not be enough,” denounces the president. This finance bill, as it stands, provides for a drain of 9.3 million euros from the Department's coffers. If we add the elimination of several aid schemes, the impact on departmental finances could even be of the order of 12 to 13 million euros. Enough to tip the community into negative net savings. And which will certainly prevent the Department from investing. All French departments are faced with this punitive measure and the anger of local elected officials is intense.

“The resistance is getting organized,” chants Philippe Bouty. Some of his colleagues would like to block “roads, bridges, viaducts. Actions of this type will perhaps be organized in Charente,” he said. He also indicates that he has written to associations, communities and EPCI to make them aware of the situation. And prepare the ground for a tightening of the screws on subsidies, aid schemes and co-financing.
“As it stands, we cannot propose a 2025 budget and I know the concern that this causes within the community,” said Philippe Bouty, addressing the agents. The budgetary orientations will not take place until February 21 and the budget will be voted on at the beginning of March.
