Sremove the Greater Metropolis of Paris? Éric Woerth gave us the idea. In his 2024 decentralization report, the Oise Renaissance MP made a stern observation and simply proposed the elimination of this body.
A proposal taken up by our editor-in-chief of the economics department, Marie Bordet, and approved by our readers. “An excellent example to address quickly and which would be emblematic,” comments Hubch. “A good clean up and quick! » exclaims Simili.
Like JASBangui, one senses a fed-up general faced with an “administrative yarrow. But many more leaves should be removed! » Pierjandel adds: “Excellent idea. Let’s eliminate all these unnecessary layers of administrative yarrow. Who will start? »
For many of our readers, the creation of the Greater Metropolis of Paris boils down to one more line about taxes. But among all these comments emerge even more radical proposals…
The merger of Île-de-France, the second-best solution?
“Why limit ourselves to the elimination of the Greater Metropolis of Paris? » asks Tabalasquère. “Wouldn’t it be interesting to take stock of the interest of these super metropolises, super urban communities, super comcoms and, frankly, super spendthrift communities that deal with everything and nothing, and whose elected officials are not identified by the citizens? […] They are fallback solutions for many elephants or old crocodiles who vote to retire at 64, but at 79 refuse to give up and continue to carry out political activity with the compensation that comes with it. »
And as for the entire Paris region, there is no shortage of ideas. “In Île-de-France we need… the Île-de-France region and the municipalities. The city of Paris must be organized with 20 municipalities (one per district) and matters relating to transport and security must be the responsibility of the region. We no longer need a mayor in Paris, nor departments in Île-de-France”, sums up C. Desvrigny. Another step above, Flo-P thinks big and united.
“We bring together the Île-de-France, the set of municipalities and intercommunities, as well as the departments of the Île-de-France into a single entity. We do the same thing in Lyon, in Grenoble and wherever we have created metropolises. » He is not the only one to dream of a large Ile-de-France entity. “The real reform is twofold: the merger of the municipality of Paris with most of the municipalities of the departments of the inner suburbs. Then the elimination of the departments and the transfer of all their competences to the regional council”, recommends Mastercard.
“What if we canceled…?” »On the public spending front, it is easier to create a superior council, an extraordinary commission, a tax system, an aid policy, a special pension plan, a dedicated fund than to proceed, after a few years, with their death. Evidently there are many good reasons for this, since it is difficult to move on, go back to the advantages granted or simply admit that you were wrong… But, faced with the worrying situation drift of our public financeswe will have to decide to act and decide on the matter. This is why “Le Point” has decided to provide some ideas to the government for free and is engaging here in a little biting exercise, which is equivalent to asking the annoying question: “ What if we cancel…? »
And what other institutions, structures or benefits do you think should be removed or reformed to reduce government spending? Feel free to share your ideas in the comments!
