A few days before the delivery of a report on the subject, Christian Jacob, the president of the Republicans pleaded, this Monday, to organize the second round of the municipal elections in June "if the sanitary conditions allow it", and to quickly install the municipal councils elected in the first round in March.
"As soon as the sanitary conditions allow, it means concretely if we are able to open schools, colleges, high schools, shops, I do not see in the name of what the second round could not be held in June ", He affirmed on France Inter. Otherwise "the Association of Mayors of France made a completely reasonable proposal which is that of September", he added.
Install the elected municipal councils in the first round
The second round, scheduled to take place on March 22, has been postponed due to the health crisis. A report must be submitted to Parliament by the Prime Minister by May 23 at the latest to determine whether it can take place in June. This second round concerns around 5,000 municipalities out of a total of 35,000.
In the 30,000 others, Christian Jacob once again pleaded to "quickly install the mayors elected in the first round" because "not to install them is to create more unemployed" especially in the public works sector which "are very dependent on public procurement ”. "The government is making fun of the world and taking us on a boat on the subject," he said, stressing that the elected councils had on average "about fifteen people" and that we could "install the mayors today". today ”.
"Democracy is under cover"
Prime Minister Edouard Philippe asked the Scientific Council on May 4 for an opinion on the subject for a report "as soon as possible". The President of the Republicans also said he was opposed to extending the state of health emergency beyond July 10 "unless of course if the health conditions impose it" because "democracy is under control".
On the possible extension of working time after the crisis, Christian Jacob pleaded for "getting out of the shackles of 35 hours". "The question of working time will have to be asked but within the framework of social dialogue, and in the company or in the branches", he affirmed, judging that "it cannot be decided by the State "
