le député de Bordeaux Thomas Cazenave veut « un nouveau pacte entre l’État et les élus »

How does a member of the majority experience this conflicting parliamentary return, politically and socially?
There were two moments. The summer, when we managed to vote the “package” on purchasing power, with agreements, a co-construction with the opposition. And this second chapter more difficult. Because the oppositions announced that they were voting against even before knowing the draft budget. We are in this particular exercise: we debate, we dialogue – we spend our days and part of our nights there – knowing that in the end, they will vote against. This may seem a bit pointless. But we do it in a sincere way, not in the hussar.
Until 49-3…
We play the game. It’s not a coup de force, it’s planned by our institutions. The shields, the fuel rebate: we need this budget for the country to move forward. On protects the French. The tariff shield is more than 40 million euros. We support businesses and industry. And the investments: 3 billion more to pay teachers better, I think everyone expects that! And when we plan to recruit 3,000 more agents for public security – and here in Bordeaux, we are well placed to know that we still need additional efforts – I find it hard to understand why we is not found.
You chair the Delegation to local authorities and decentralization. What to do for elected officials, faced with the cost of energy?
I worked with mayors of the Metropolis, left and right, to build a new safety net in 2023 against inflation and guarantee a public service. We exchange to calibrate this support device increases. On a collective priority, it is the energy renovation of buildings. Hence the establishment of the “green fund” of 2 billion euros. But I defend it: there will be no ecological transition if we do not work hand in hand with the communities.
An “alternative project” for Bordeaux
Defeated in 2020, the deputy keeps an eye on the town hall. And the next municipal round. “Our city gives the feeling of being stalled: there are a lot of declarations of intention but not a lot of concretizations. Thomas Cazenave is preparing an “alternative project”, a “15-20 year vision”, to “bring together as many people from Bordeaux as possible”. He specifies, as if to differentiate himself from the others: “I am not nourished by revenge or nostalgia. He wants to federate. “We have everything to gain from taking the proposals wherever they come from, from the left or from the right. “As proof of this, the” ring road group “that he co-chairs in the Metropolis. “Between the initiative, accepted by President Anziani, the negotiation with the State and ads, less than a year has passed! »
That’s to say ?
We need a new pact between the state and elected officials. We need to give back more air, capacity to do things, responsibility. The President, the Prime Minister are open to it. We will make proposals. On the housing policy, are we going further in decentralization? Comment on works on the metropolises of tomorrow? And how to simplify a landscape in which our fellow citizens do not find themselves? Year after year, participation is collapsing in regional and departmental elections… We are well placed here to see it: between the Metropolis and the territories, there is a divide. We see it in the rise of the extremes.
“We can clearly see that on mobility, we are in a collective failure. On housing, the crisis is setting in…”
What is it about? Delete a stratum, vote directly for the intermunicipal executives, relaunch the Territorial Councilor [un seul élu pour le Département et la Région] ?
