“3DS” is going to be set up. It’s not regarding the Nintendo but regarding
a decentralization bill. And this Wednesday, following a final vote of the
Senate with a right-wing majority, Parliament has definitively adopted this text which intends to put “oil in the wheels” of the institutional landscape.
Criticized as a “catch-all” text or lacking ambition for oppositions that demand a new stage of decentralization, the bill was nevertheless adopted by a large majority of senators by 301 votes in favor, 32 once morest and 10 abstentions. Passed from regarding 80 articles to almost 280, the final bill “3DS” was validated first Tuesday by the National Assembly with 154 votes for and 18 once morest, mainly from the left.
A “toolbox”
Very technical, most of these provisions will not speak to the general public, but it is concretely a question of giving new skills to local authorities, new places and responsibilities to elected officials, simplifying certain administrative procedures. The bill also marks a redefinition of the state in the territories around the figures of the prefect and the sub-prefect.
Social housing, skills between municipalities and intercommunalities, water and sanitation, environment, wind turbines, RSA, roads, institutional construction site of the Marseille metropolis: the majority sees it as a “toolbox” with a concrete and immediate impact on the ground, but not an institutional “big bang”.
