Le 22 juillet 2026, le Conseil constitutionnel a \u00e9t\u00e9 saisi par le Conseil d\u2019\u00c9tat, sur le fondement de l\u2019article 61-1 de la Constitution, d\u2019une question prioritaire de constitutionnalit\u00e9 enregistr\u00e9e sous le n\u00b0 2026-1227 QPC. La question, pos\u00e9e pour la commune de Gonfreville-l\u2019Orcher, repr\u00e9sent\u00e9e par un avocat au Conseil d\u2019\u00c9tat et \u00e0 la Cour de cassation (SARL Thouvenin, Coudray, Gr\u00e9vy), porte sur la conformit\u00e9 aux droits et libert\u00e9s garantis par la Constitution du paragraphe V de l\u2019article L. 5211-6-1 du code g\u00e9n\u00e9ral des collectivit\u00e9s territoriales (CGCT), dans sa r\u00e9daction issue de la loi n\u00b0 2017-257 du 28 f\u00e9vrier 2017 relative au statut de Paris et \u00e0 l\u2019am\u00e9nagement m\u00e9tropolitain.<\/p>\n
Le dispositif contest\u00e9 concerne les modalit\u00e9s de r\u00e9partition des si\u00e8ges au sein de l\u2019organe d\u00e9lib\u00e9rant des \u00e9tablissements publics de coop\u00e9ration intercommunale (EPCI) \u00e0 fiscalit\u00e9 propre, en particulier dans les communaut\u00e9s de communes, communaut\u00e9s d\u2019agglom\u00e9ration et communaut\u00e9s urbaines. Il pr\u00e9cise les r\u00e8gles d\u2019attribution des si\u00e8ges lorsque la part des si\u00e8ges attribu\u00e9s selon certaines modalit\u00e9s (2\u00b0 du IV de l\u2019article) d\u00e9passe 30 % du nombre de si\u00e8ges d\u00e9finis au III, et organise un m\u00e9canisme d\u2019attribution de 10 % des si\u00e8ges totaux aux communes selon les r\u00e8gles du IV, en excluant alors l\u2019application du VI du m\u00eame article.<\/p>\n
La commune requ\u00e9rante soutient que l\u2019interruption, dans certains cas, du m\u00e9canisme correcteur permettant l\u2019attribution de si\u00e8ges suppl\u00e9mentaires aux communes les moins bien repr\u00e9sent\u00e9es porte atteinte aux droits et libert\u00e9s constitutionnellement garantis. Le Conseil constitutionnel a examin\u00e9 cette contestation sur la base de la Constitution, de l\u2019ordonnance organique n\u00b0 58\u20111067 du 7 novembre 1958, du CGCT, des lois n\u00b0 2010\u20111563 du 16 d\u00e9cembre 2010 de r\u00e9forme des collectivit\u00e9s territoriales et n\u00b0 2017\u2011257 du 28 f\u00e9vrier 2017, ainsi que de son r\u00e8glement du 4 f\u00e9vrier 2010 sur la proc\u00e9dure des QPC.<\/p>\n
Les observations du Premier ministre ont \u00e9t\u00e9 enregistr\u00e9es le 1er ao\u00fbt 2026, celles de la commune requ\u00e9rante, repr\u00e9sent\u00e9e par Me Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Weyl (barreau de Paris), le 11 ao\u00fbt 2026. \u00c0 l\u2019audience publique du 6 octobre 2026, le Conseil constitutionnel a entendu l\u2019avocat de la commune et le repr\u00e9sentant d\u00e9sign\u00e9 par le Premier ministre, M. Thibault Cayssials, ainsi que le rapporteur. \u00c0 ce stade du texte, les enjeux identifi\u00e9s portent sur la r\u00e9partition de la repr\u00e9sentation communale au sein des EPCI et le respect des principes constitutionnels applicables \u00e0 cette repr\u00e9sentation, sans mention d\u2019impacts sp\u00e9cifiques sur les politiques de sant\u00e9, d\u2019action sociale, de solidarit\u00e9, de handicap, de travail ou d\u2019emploi au-del\u00e0 du cadre g\u00e9n\u00e9ral de la gouvernance locale.\u00a0(contenu r\u00e9sum\u00e9 par l’IA)\u200bLire la
