Le 16 octobre 2026, lors du deuxi\u00e8me jour de leur 95e congr\u00e8s \u00e0 Reims, les pr\u00e9sidents de conseil d\u00e9partemental r\u00e9unis au sein de l\u2019association D\u00e9partements de France (DF) ont exprim\u00e9 une contestation unanime de la politique budg\u00e9taire de l\u2019\u00c9tat \u00e0 leur \u00e9gard. Des repr\u00e9sentants des diff\u00e9rents groupes politiques de DF (gauche, droite, centre et ind\u00e9pendants) ont d\u00e9nonc\u00e9 le traitement r\u00e9serv\u00e9 aux d\u00e9partements par le gouvernement et la haute administration, en particulier la strat\u00e9gie consistant, selon eux, \u00e0 utiliser les budgets d\u00e9partementaux comme variable d\u2019ajustement des comptes publics nationaux.<\/p>\n
Les \u00e9lus ciblent principalement les arbitrages retenus dans les projets de loi budg\u00e9taires pour 2027, un an apr\u00e8s des engagements ant\u00e9rieurs du chef du gouvernement envers les d\u00e9partements \u00e0 Albi. Dans une r\u00e9solution finale adopt\u00e9e \u00e0 l\u2019unanimit\u00e9, ils estiment que le budget 2027 fait \u00ab d\u00e9lib\u00e9r\u00e9ment \u00bb des d\u00e9partements la variable d\u2019ajustement d\u2019un \u00c9tat en difficult\u00e9, alors que ces collectivit\u00e9s supportent \u00ab l\u2019essentiel des solidarit\u00e9s du quotidien \u00bb, notamment en mati\u00e8re de d\u00e9penses sociales. Selon les calculs de DF, les d\u00e9partements auraient assum\u00e9, en trois ans, une hausse de 3 milliards d\u2019euros de d\u00e9penses sociales impos\u00e9es par l\u2019\u00c9tat, tandis que leurs recettes de droits de mutation \u00e0 titre on\u00e9reux (DMTO) n\u2019auraient augment\u00e9 que de 600 millions d\u2019euros.<\/p>\n
Les \u00e9lus mettent particuli\u00e8rement en cause un \u00ab nouveau pr\u00e9l\u00e8vement de plus de 1,8 milliard d\u2019euros \u00bb pr\u00e9vu par le projet de loi de finances (PLF) pour 2027. Ils indiquent que ce pr\u00e9l\u00e8vement priverait les d\u00e9partements d\u2019environ un quart de leur \u00e9pargne brute et ferait passer 13 d\u00e9partements suppl\u00e9mentaires sous le seuil d\u2019alerte financier de 7 % identifi\u00e9 par la Cour des comptes. DF pr\u00e9sente cette trajectoire comme une forme d\u2019\u00ab asphyxie \u00bb financi\u00e8re progressive des d\u00e9partements.<\/p>\n
Sur le plan institutionnel, les pr\u00e9sidents de d\u00e9partement critiquent \u00e9galement la m\u00e9thode de dialogue entre l\u2019\u00c9tat et les collectivit\u00e9s. Ils regrettent l\u2019absence de contact direct avec le Premier ministre depuis juillet 2026 et d\u00e9noncent la mani\u00e8re dont les d\u00e9cisions budg\u00e9taires ont \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9labor\u00e9es. La ministre de l\u2019Am\u00e9nagement du territoire et de la D\u00e9centralisation, Fran\u00e7oise Gatel, venue clore le congr\u00e8s en remplacement du Premier ministre S\u00e9bastien Lecornu, a d\u00fb intervenir dans un contexte de tension marqu\u00e9e, illustrant la d\u00e9gradation des relations entre l\u2019\u00c9tat et les d\u00e9partements sur les enjeux financiers li\u00e9s aux politiques de solidarit\u00e9.\u00a0(contenu r\u00e9sum\u00e9 par l’IA)Lire la Suite<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Le 16 octobre 2026, lors du deuxi\u00e8me jour de leur 95e
