Here is the tribune of deputies and senators La République en Marche, entitled “Resumption of school is our requirement, the legal protection of mayors too”: “The confinement that is in place is a remarkable experience for each and every one of us. We all have our personal journeys and have, at the mercy of our adult lives, gone through these last weeks with seriousness and responsibility. Our children, grandchildren also live these moments with their eyes and their innocence. The confinement put in place on Tuesday March 17, 2020 at 12 noon has transformed their education, maintained as best they can thanks to digital tools. Next Monday, May 11, this period particular will come to an end, we will switch to a deconfinement, progressive and methodical, according to the general principles presented by Prime Minister Edouard Philippe during Tuesday’s session in the National Assembly.
“
Reconciling optimal health security conditions for the resumption of schooling for children and strengthening the legal security of mayors is at the heart of our concerns
“
Among the many challenges that condition the success of this major public health operation, the reopening of schools in France. Reconciling optimal health security conditions for the resumption of schooling for children, on the one hand, and strengthening the legal security of mayors, essential partners of the State in this exit from confinement, on the other hand, is at the heart of our concerns.
During the numerous exchanges with the mayors of our constituencies, we were able to measure their legitimate apprehensions before the responsibilities which are theirs, in particular at the legal level. Several of them have announced refusing to open schools, others ask to be simply reassured as to their possible implication, in the event of contamination of a child for example.
Because we have too much esteem and consideration for the preferred mandate of the French that many of us have exercised, we wish here to recall the current legal regime of criminal responsibility of mayors, to broaden the field of Reflection on all the people holding a public responsibility or a public service mission for example and finally, to recall how the mayors are not in demand for exoneration of responsibility a priori but simply wanting to know that the power State public is by their side.
“
Fully up to the skills that are theirs, mayors want to know clearly the scope of their responsibilities
“
Article 121-3 of the penal code sets out the conditions for the possible assumption of criminal responsibility: having either deliberately violated a particular normative obligation of prudence or security, or committed a gross negligence and exposed others to a risk of particular gravity that the author could not ignore. Specifically with regard to mayors, article L 2123-34 of the general code of local authorities (CGCT) specifies that “the mayor may not be convicted for unintentional acts committed in the exercise of his functions unless he is established that he did not perform the normal due diligence taking into account his skills, power and means at his disposal as well as the difficulties specific to the missions entrusted to him by law. “
A senatorial bill “aiming to improve the legal protection of the mayor within the framework of the state of health emergency” is tabled. The intention is laudable, but this text unfortunately does not provide any additional legal guarantee in law. It also poses the principle of a priori irresponsibility. This does not seem to us desirable, nor indeed desired by the mayors. Fully up to the skills that are theirs, mayors want to know clearly the scope of their responsibilities and have all the tools necessary for their exercise.
“
As part of the deconfinement and as usual, the mayors are there
“
In a few days, the national representation will examine the bill extending the state of health emergency. In the full exercise of our prerogatives, we will propose an adaptation of the legislation to effectively protect the mayors criminally but also all the persons depositaries of a mission of public service within the framework of the deconfinement operations and this, for a limited period, and which mainly meets the real expectations of the city councilors of France. These expectations, they correspond to the daily life of mayors in the exercise of their prerogatives, mainly today in school matters.
As part of the deconfinement and as usual, the mayors are there. Deputies and Senators, with the departmental and regional elected representatives, with the State representative in each department, we are by their side. We are united, for French women and men. “
