Question 11612 — cultural heritage

Summary

Mrs. Annick Cousin questions the Minister of the Interior and Overseas Territories on the national subscription for the benefit of religious heritage. The President of the Republic recently announced his intention to put in place a plan aimed at saving churches and other religious buildings in the country. It recognizes the heavy financial burden which weighs on many municipalities in relation to the maintenance of these precious elements of cultural heritage French. To respond to this concern, the Government plans to launch a national subscription for the benefit of religious heritage, which will include not only churches, but also chapels, synagogues and temples. The key element of this initiative will be tax incentives to encourage individuals and businesses to make donations. Donors could benefit from tax deductions, thus reducing their income tax. In the past, during the reconstruction of Notre-Dame de Paris, this tax deduction could reach up to 75% of the amount of the donation. This measure aims to stimulate the generosity of citizens and businesses towards the preservation of French religious heritage. However, important questions remain regarding how this money will be directed to communities that need it most. It is essential to guarantee a fair distribution of funds throughout France. Certain municipalities, in particular the smallest and least populated, could be at a disadvantage compared to large cities in the competition for donations, particularly in the creation of eligibility files. Therefore, it is crucial to put in place a transparent and fair which ensures that churches and religious buildings in all regions of France can benefit from this heritage protection initiative. Regarding the launch of this major national subscription, when does the minister intend to put it in place and how does he plan to deliver these funds? She wants to know what criteria will be used to decide on the distribution of funds to different municipalities.
