Question 34305 — utilities

Summary

Mr. Paul-André Colombani alerts the Minister of Territorial Cohesion and Relations with Local Authorities to the need to preserve public services in rural areas and more particularly in Corsica. Indeed, the Government has just implemented a reform which will notably eliminate a certain number of treasuries in Corsica without prior consultation, while the Minister, arrested two years ago on this subject by the deputy, had nevertheless assured that the State was fully mobilizing in favor of Corsican rural territories and that the prefect of Corsica at the time, had expressed her opposition to the plans to close the treasuries. Even though the covid-19 epidemic has highlighted the need of the island population and economic actors, already strongly impacted by the health and economic crisis, to be able to benefit from services local public, Mr. MP learns that in his constituency of Corse-du-Sud the treasuries of Levie, Sainte-Marie de Siché, Bonifacio and Vico will be abolished, and that Haute-Corse will suffer the same fate. These local public services will be replaced by Maisons France Service, structures which will not be able to provide the necessary help and advice to users and businesses in the field of taxation, unlike the qualified staff of local treasuries. The President of the Republic had, however, committed to taking into account the specificities of Corsica in terms of the “New local network”. However, this is not the case: this new local network is absolutely identical to those presented on the continent, contrary to the spirit of the provisions of the Mountain law aimed at “reassessing the level of public services and services to the public in the mountains and to ensure their sustainability, quality, accessibility and proximity. Also, just as the prefect of Corsica was committed to doing, by mutual agreement with the elected representatives of the Corsican Community, it appears necessary to set up an ad hoc commission responsible for thinking about the organization of State services and their implementation on the island. Pending the implementation of this commission in which the State must participate to work on the question of a possible reorganization, he asks it if it intends to implement an essential moratorium on any suppression or reorganization of public services.
