Question 39517 — local authorities

Summary

Ms. Myriane Houplain draws the attention of the Minister of Territorial Cohesion and Relations with Local Authorities to the experimentation of an exceptional distribution formula for the overall operating grant (DGF). This allocation, allocated each year by the State, after fixing its amount within the framework of the finance law, to local authorities including in particular the municipalities, is essential to the operation of these. It often represents a significant part of their operating budget and as such, it is imperative that its amount does not decrease. For 2021, the amount paid by the State to municipalities under the DGF amounted to 11.95 billion euros and 6.4 billion euros for intermunicipalities. It would seem that the current distribution mechanism will be modified in favor of an experiment consisting of this that the State no longer pays this grant directly to the municipalities but to the intercommunities (EPCI), it is up to them to distribute this grant for the benefit of the municipalities. Elected officials, particularly those from rural communities, are legitimately concerned about the consequent risk of an increase in inequalities and injustices linked to the application of this new system. The current distribution system of the DGF is already in itself particularly complex and less and less readable so that it is not necessary to add a risk of discrimination between the municipalities of the same EPCI. Consequently, she asks him to kindly provide an overview of the situation as well as to confirm the abandonment of this experiment and the implementation of a reform of the overall operating allocation long awaited by local elected officials.
