Credits to the RMIRSA device are progressing as 9

The tense financial situation which their communities are currently facing, the Chairmen of the departments do not have all the same speech. While those left, met last week in Paris, say no longer be able to pay the RSA, the APA and the PCH starting in September, far right say there is nothing. "Despite the decrease in some recipes, it is quite possible to continue to provide the powers of the General Council." "This should simply adapt expenditure to revenue", argues Eric Ciotti.

The UMP Chairman of the Department of Alpes-Maritimes seems ready to join the floor acts. At least according to the South, CGT, CFDT and CFTC unions. More than 150 jobs would be threatened with extinction in associations responsible for implementing the social policy of the community. Employees in this sector, accompanied by Communist and Socialist, elected representatives gathered yesterday at the headquarters of the General Council while sitting the departmental Assembly to protest against this project to the Executive. At the same time representatives of staff sent a mail to Eric Ciotti to draw his attention to the problem.

Reorientation of credit

Beset by financial difficulties, while they are increasingly solicited by the economic crisis, the associations are called by the General Council to revise downward their costs structure. The Department has launched several audits to reset with each of the missions assigned to them.

Eric Ciotti is in any case in false on the figures given by the unions, but the tone is given. "The Department shows the example." It reduced its operating budget and does not replace a starting retirement on two for departmental officers. "It is therefore normal to ask social actors who receive grants to follow the example", considered the head of the departmental Executive.

"We are not hostile to groupings of associations if the core business is the same, we ask," said Patrick Abatti, responsible for social issues to the CFDT. "As has been done with Medicare, it is the opportunity to negotiate new multi-year contracts over five years to develop consistent goals and means and smooth efforts over time".

On an estimated budget of EUR 1.376 billion for 2010, social spending should be EUR 494 million, an increase of 4.5 compared with 2009 due to the financing of compulsory expenditure. Credits to the RMI/RSA device are progressing as 9.3. There is therefore a priori, in the immediate future of cuts in the social budget.

In fact, the unions seem rather fear that the discourse on the economies of operation necessary translate by a severe enough reorientation of certain credits. Specialized youth prevention sector would be the first affected. "The Department of Alpes-Maritimes wants to lead by example in the fight against school absenteeism in colleges and devote significant financial means." "It will be at the expense of the action in neighbourhoods while combating absenteeism within national Education and could be financed on state appropriations," said Patrick Abatti. For Eric Ciotti, "associations act within the framework of missions that are delegated to them by the General Council, and elected officials, and to them alone, to define the policy responsible."
