Question 3988 — intercommunality

Summary

Ms. Blandine Brocard questions the Minister of State, Minister of the Interior, on the representation of municipalities in the governance bodies of the metropolis of Lyon from 2020. This metropolis, the result of the merger between a public establishment of intermunicipal cooperation (Grand Lyon) and part of the Rhône department, is the only metropolis in France which today has the status of a full-fledged territorial collectivity. The law of modernization of territorial public action and affirmation of metropolises, known as the "MAPTAM law", promulgated on January 27, 2014, provided in its article 54 paragraph 1 that future metropolitan councilors will be elected by direct universal suffrage during the next elections scheduled for 2020. The electoral method thus imposed by the law will substantially modify the representation of the municipalities by de facto excluding a large part of these are the decision-making bodies of the Lyon metropolis. Indeed, the list vote, established in new electoral constituencies, will no longer allow the full representativeness of the municipalities and will not guarantee that each of them can have at least one seat on the future metropolitan council. Many mayors will thus see themselves ousted from the governance of a metropolis at the birth of which they nevertheless participated and of which they had managed a large part of the skills for almost fifty years. This electoral method, provided for by the MAPTAM law, risks being perceived by mayors throughout the national territory as a real obstacle to the development of other metropolises in France, even though the model of the metropolis of Lyon as a local authority with a special status has demonstrated its effectiveness. This is why she wants contact him to find out the solutions and the timetable envisaged by the Government so that all the municipalities of the metropolis of Lyon can continue to be represented from 2020 in its governance bodies and retain deliberative power.
