Question 17115 — Status

Summary

Mr. Emmanuel Duplessy questions the Minister of the Interior about the cost of protection measures provided by State services for the benefit of former ministers, former members of the Government and former holders of high public functions. If the protection of certain personalities can naturally be justified by a particular threat, the attribution criteria, the duration of the measures and their cost remain largely unknown. In a context of controlling public finances, it nevertheless appears necessary for Parliament to have a precise vision of the human and budgetary resources devoted to these measures. He therefore asks him to communicate, as of July 1, 2026: the total number of former members of the Government benefiting from protection provided by the State services, distinguishing between former Prime Ministers, former ministers of interior and other former ministers; the number of former Presidents of the Republic benefiting from protection provided by State services; the total number of police officers, gendarmes or specialized agents mobilized under these measures, broken down by category of beneficiaries; the total annual cost of these protections, distinguishing between personnel expenses, means of transport, vehicles made available, travel expenses as well as any other expenses directly linked to these missions; the individualized annual cost of protection measures granted to former Presidents of the Republic and former Prime Ministers. It also asks it to specify the objective criteria used to decide on the maintenance, reduction or elimination of protection, the authorities competent to make these decisions as well as the frequency of their reassessment. Finally, it asks it to indicate how many protective measures have been lifted, reduced or, on the contrary, reinforced since January 1, 2022, specifying, for each of these cases, the reasons leading to this development, subject to information covered by national defense secrecy or likely to compromise the security of the persons concerned.
