Question 18086 — elected officials

Summary

Mr. Julien Aubert draws the attention of the Minister of the Interior regarding the incompatibility between engagement as a volunteer firefighter (SPV) and the role of mayor. Indeed, according to article L. 2122-5-1 of the general code of local authorities (CGCT), the activity of volunteer firefighter cannot be combined with the exercise of the functions of mayor of a municipality of more than 3,500 inhabitants and deputy mayor in a municipality of more than 5,000 inhabitants. These thresholds were set to allow access to the office of mayor of SPVs in small municipalities, where the question arises extremely often. However, there has been a decrease in the number of firefighters who wish to get involved in municipal life. In addition, the AMF-CEVIPOF survey in partnership with Le Figaro reveals that one in two mayors would not wish to run again in 2020. strength of commitment of volunteer firefighters is recognized. Also, raising this threshold would prevent those who wish to run for this honorable office from having to choose between their two commitments. He asks what measures the Government intends to implement to open up access for volunteer firefighters to the position of mayor and deputy in municipalities with more than 3,500 inhabitants.
