Question 9188 — associations and foundations

Summary

Ms. Marie Mesmeur draws the attention of the Minister Delegate to the Prime Minister, responsible for equality between women and men and the fight against discrimination, to the alarming situation of the LGBTI+ ISKIS center in Rennes, following the drastic reduction in its annual subsidy by the interministerial delegation for the fight against racism, anti-Semitism and anti-LGBT hatred (DILCRAH). The ISKIS center plays a role essential for welcoming, supporting and defending the rights of LGBTI+ people in the Ille-et-Vilaine department and the Brittany region. It has been financed since 2023 by DILCRAH (24,000 euros in 2023 and 50,000 euros in 2024) and hires two employees at 80% for its current operation. It is important to underline the institutional recognition from which the ISKIS center benefits from all of its numerous partners, both associative and institutional, due to its daily and multiple actions with the LGBTI+ public, their loved ones and the general public. These actions include information on health, the law and administrative support for the most vulnerable LGBTI+ people; educational actions on LGBTI+ themes aimed at the general public, particularly in schools, and cultural actions supporting the fight for equality through their influence. This commitment is made in conjunction with local stakeholders in the city of Rennes, the metropolis, the department and the Brittany region because ISKIS, since 2001, has long been the only LGBTI+ center in the Breton territory until the opening of the Saint-Brieuc center in 2024, and as a result is a key player in the fight against LGBTI+ discrimination. For the year 2025, the center requested the renewal of its operating subsidy of 53,000 euros in January 2025 and also submitted local subsidy applications for two events. The latter two received a negative response without justification from the Ille-et-Vilaine prefecture and the operating subsidy granted amounts to only 10,000 euros compared to 50,000 euros in 2024. Such disengagement, without parallel in LGBTI+ centers having benefited from subsidies as part of the national plan for equality, against hatred and anti-LGBT+ discrimination 2023-2026, endangers the salaried jobs which ensure the operation of the center, and by the same token its actions and therefore the assistance currently provided to many LGBT people. This decision, currently unjustified, immediately compromises the survival of the center, which risks close in the coming year. She therefore asks her to please explain the criteria which led to this drastic reduction in funding and whether she intends to take measures to guarantee fair and lasting financial support for all LGBTI+ centers, particularly that of Rennes.
