Question 16204 — municipalities

Summary

Mrs. Perrine Goulet draws the attention of the Minister of the Armed Forces to the designation of defense correspondents. Indeed, the circular of October 26, 2001 specifies that a defense correspondent must be “designated within the municipal council”. It therefore requires a deliberation by the municipal council, which must necessarily choose it from among its members. The objective stated by the ministry is the strengthening of a local defense network on the national territory, extended to all municipalities in France. Therefore, all municipalities must designate one. For the smallest, there is no obligation, just a possibility. The designated elected officials can nevertheless be assisted in their mission by an official whose knowledge or experience in defense matters will be useful to them. However, again, there is no obligation. Some mayors would like that this designation may be possible for citizens, former career soldiers who have no municipal function. This defense correspondent mission is losing momentum, particularly in rural areas. However, the need for connection, particularly with young people at risk, is felt, particularly at the time of their census. Faced with this situation, she asks him to please indicate whether a modification of the method of designation of defense correspondents is possible, in order to open it to administrators competent in the matter and thus make it possible to relaunch this mission.
