Karl Olive wants to table a bill to restore the accumulation of mandates

Renaissance MP (ex-LREM) Karl Olive will table a bill to reverse the non-cumulation of mandates voted in 2014, he announced on Friday August 5 on franceinfo. “I’m working on it right now.“, specifies the former mayor of Poissy (Yvelines). On Sunday July 2, in a gallery in the JSunday newspaperhe had signed a forum calling for a reversal of this law.

“I think there is no incompatibility between being mayor and deputy. For me, it is very complementary. The experience of mayor is for me like no other”said the man who has been a deputy since last June and who had to leave his term as mayor due to the non-accumulation of mandates.

At the local level, a parliamentarian cannot exercise a local executive function such as, for example, that of mayor, deputy mayor, president or vice-president of a departmental council or a regional council, president or vice-president of a mixed syndicate, explains the site of the National Assembly. “There should be a very large majority of deputies who can have at least one local mandate, adds Karl Olive. This would make it possible to know the workings of the administration, the workings of the field and therefore to be less disconnected.

“It’s not a story of accumulation of allowances as it could have been presented at the time, it’s an accumulation of experiences.”

Regarding the terms of this bill, the deputy believes that a gauge may be set in order to combine a mandate as deputy mayor: “Does it need a city of 10,000 inhabitants? Does it need 40,000 inhabitants? This is debatable.”
