With the approach of the presidential election, the mayor of Nice announced that he wanted to launch, in September, a "participatory platform" to make proposals in a logic of decentralization.

Their adoption would imply "finding a way to build a qualified majority in Congress to reform the Constitution," said Christian Estrosi, who left LR a month ago after a dispute over the agreements with LREM in Paca.

"Whoever the next president is, he will not be able to change anything if he does not have this majority," he said.

It is necessary, according to the former minister, "to transfer to the territories legislative and regulatory powers, as in Spain, in Germany or in Great Britain, in the fields relating to the territorial competences", in particular housing, training and environment.

Health and security

And "there are two areas where the State must really share its responsibilities with communities: health, for which they have managed 80% of the epidemic without having the skills, and security," said Christian Estrosi.

"I sometimes share these thoughts" with the President of the Republic and "I feel he is very open" to these ideas, added the elected leader of the La France Audacieuse movement, whose members are "elected officials. and local executives ”.

Its platform would be more widely open, made up of “men and women from different backgrounds”, economic and local decision-makers, with “qualified institutes and personalities”.
