To be able to begin, however, the experiment must be the subject of a decree of the Ministry of Housing. However, this one published Friday, September 3 in the Official Journal, authorized the cities of Bordeaux, Montpellier, Lyon and Villeurbanne but has not responded, to this day, to the requests of the eleven municipalities, nor to that of Grigny, in Essonne.
“The Ministry of Housing must respond favorably to the demand of EFA and cities, urges Michel Leprêtre, PCF president of the territory. Our mode of operation, the city cooperative, places the choice and the will of each city at the center of territorial decisions. Respect for popular democracy expressed during municipal elections is at stake. It is with this in mind that our candidacy was built ”, insists the elected representative who recalls that the 11 municipalities are bordering and that there is therefore a territorial continuity, and defends the legitimacy of the request with regard to the pressure on land exerted by the construction of the Grand Paris Express stations (Line 15 south and 14 south). “Despite an agreement in principle formulated by Minister Mrs. Wargon, it is the choices of the municipalities that are under attack. Let us not forget, through this non-decision, it is the tenants and the owners who are the first victims. I ask that the ministry quickly enroll us in this device. ”
