The mayor of Saint-Étienne asks the Prime Minister, faced with the emergence of urban violence, for more resources for the inclusion of young people.
The mayor of Saint-Etienne, Gaël Perdriau, communicated on Tuesday a letter to the Prime Minister, Jean Castex. In this letter, he recalled that, during the last interministerial committee in the city, last January, France Urbaine had called for the updating of the Dijon pact, in the light of the health, economic and social crisis.
The priority districts of the city policy, already weakened, have in fact been strongly affected by this crisis and its consequences for more than a year, resulting in an unprecedented increase in precariousness. With 5.4 million French people, the poverty rate is 42%, the unemployment rate is 22.5%, against 8.2% nationally. However, the number of mediators has increased from more than 20,000 in 2001 to 12,000 since 2017.
Faced with this situation, Gaël Perdriau, mayor of Saint-Etienne and president of Saint-Etienne Métropole wrote to the Prime Minister to request the establishment of targeted training and integration mechanisms for young people from priority neighborhoods, regretting in passing, beyond the announcement effects, the insufficiency of government measures.
“Local communities are major players in urban economic and social development. Thus, it would be relevant to bring them together alongside associative actors, integration and training actors, as well as the local economic world in order to offer appropriate training to guide these young people towards jobs under pressure or promising. employment. The needs in terms of recruitment and training of companies are defined as closely as possible to the economic realities of the territories, and as a result national mechanisms in terms of employment are proving to be completely ineffective, ”notes the elected official.
An update of the Dijon Pact requested
The Dijon Pact signed in July 2018 promoted an overhaul of the way of building and implementing urban and social cohesion policies, shared between the State and the communities. It clarified the responsibilities of communities and the State, and called for a policy, no longer fragmented by the juxtaposition of specific mechanisms or calls for projects, but for a transversal, integrated and decompartmentalized policy. In this context, local authorities undertake their responsibilities in terms of economic development and employment, mobility and housing, while State action is expected in the fields of education, health and security and justice.
Since the updating of the Dijon Pact is only possible if the local authorities have sufficient resources, Gaël Perdriau explained, from last April in a free forum, the need to create a specific position in the accounts. “The contributions of local authorities, linked to the consequences of COVID 19, would be, both in terms of investment and operation, clearly isolated, from a budgetary point of view, in a third section, called to disappear as quickly as possible, the legibility of local financial documents will only be greater for citizens and community partners. This could be done through a simple principle: only those expenses which do not generate any temporal recurrence and those resulting from the investment and the management of the local recovery due to the health crisis are eligible. Such an accounting development can only be understood by accompanying it with in-depth reflection, leading to very concrete actions, in terms of taxation and control of local taxation by local authorities, which also supposes defining a new balance with national taxation ”.
