Parliament definitively adopted on Thursday July 20 the emergency bill to facilitate reconstruction work after the recent urban violence. “In this bill as it was adopted, there is not much”regrets Stéphane Troussel. “Where are the sums necessary for the implementation of these reconstruction measures for part of the property which has been degraded and which cannot, given its nature, be insured. Is there grain to grind that will follow this bill? “he wondered.
The Borloo report on priority neighborhoods “thrown in the trash”
According to him, the “full and profound answer” desired by Emmanuel Macron “does not go through yet another time of diagnosis, report, observation shared by all the actors of the territories and working-class neighborhoods. How many Borloo reports, which the President of the Republic has thrown in the trash, will it take to now take action?”, he wondered. The former minister was charged by Emmanuel Macron in 2017 with a mission on city policy, to “changing the deal” in priority areas. His report, submitted in 2018, had been ignored by the head of state.
“The collapsing public services, school, health, daily security, it does not date from this violence and these riots”he said.
