Question 10092 — elected officials

Summary

Ms. Annick Cousin questions the Minister Delegate to the Prime Minister, responsible for democratic renewal, spokesperson for the Government, on the accumulation of mandates for parliamentarians. The question of multiple mandates is regularly debated in France and the law has already limited this practice for parliamentarians. The law of February 17, 2014 on the non-cumulation of mandates provides for the impossibility of combining a parliamentary mandate with a local executive function or with several local mandates. This question on non-cumulation regularly resurfaces in the public debate and its application has not only brought benefits, particularly with regard to the image of elected officials in the population with parliamentarians sometimes ever further removed from the field and without real local roots. Often mentioned by members of the majority, is the Government considering returning to the non-cumulation of mandates in order to enhance the link between the national and local level for parliamentarians, while avoiding an unreasonable accumulation of mandates? Such an approach would be likely to strengthen the accountability and commitment of elected officials, while preserving the effectiveness and integrity of political representation in the country. She wants to know his position on the subject.
