Unmissable campaign challenges for the 154 candidates for the 2021 departmental elections in the Oise.
1 – Security
Security also seems to be a strong demand from the Isarians: the outgoing majority has subsidized video protection in 300 municipalities, for a budget of nearly 1.7 million euros. Today, 50% of them have cameras. In all, there are around 1,700 cameras in the towns and villages of the Oise. A departmental supervision center has been created in Beauvais. It is a place where a large number of cameras can be viewed in real time. € 550,000 are included in the 2021 budget to make it work.
Oise is the first department in France to have adopted a Sdis protection plan for which the departmental executive is responsible in January 2021. Faced with the resurgence of attacks by firefighters in the department, the Departmental Council has invested in the protection professionals: 152 pedestrian cameras, 238 anti-laceration vests and 39 video-protection cameras will be installed in the Oise rescue centers by 2024. An expenditure of 274,000 euros which is part of a plan to investment of 16 million euros divided between the renovation of the 42 emergency centers in the department and the purchase of new equipment. That is 11 million euros devoted to the renovation of barracks and 5 to the purchase of operational equipment and vehicles (large ladders, tankers, articulated arms, assistance vehicles and drones). The Sdis de l’Oise is the first Sdis in France to adopt such a protection plan.
2 – The Seine North Canal
It was for a long time the sea serpent of Hauts-de-France: the major infrastructure project, the Seine-Nord-Europe canal. It should make it possible to connect the Seine to the river network in northern Europe: 107 km from Compiègne to Aubencheul-au-Bac in the north, 6 locks and 61 bridges… The works are due to start in 2024, for the commissioning of the canal in 2028.
A project which should employ between 10,000 and 15,000 people during the construction phase after 2022, and between 15,000 and 30,000 structural jobs on the 4 major platforms that will host logistics and agro-food companies. 34 km of works are planned in the Oise, 23 will be common crossed by this gigantic infrastructure. The Oise budgeted 10 million euros in 2020. It will ultimately be 108 million.
3- The Creil-Roissy bar
The other major transport project in the Oise is the Roissy-Picardie railroad bar, otherwise known as the Creil-Roissy bar. Like the Seine-Nord Europe canal, this important rail project for the region has long remained in the backyard. It should finally see the light of day. This project has been in development since 2010. It provides for the creation of a new 6 km line, connecting the high-speed line (LGV) of interconnection East to the classic Amiens-Creil-Paris line. Improvements will also be made on the Paris-Creil axis, and in the Charles-de-Gaulle Airport TGV station.
A portion of 6 to 7 kilometers should connect Paris to Amiens by TGV by 2025.

The government, of the 310 million euros, must provide 51% of funding. The rest is provided by local authorities and SNCF. The region will provide nearly 106 million euros and, for their part, the communities of the Oise have also distributed the expenses. Jobs are also the key. And above all, Creil will only be 23 minutes from Roissy Charles de Gaules. A huge gain for the 15,000 people who go to Roissy every day to work.
The work of the bar was to be launched in 2019 and the dates seem to shift to 2020/2025, for entry into service in 2027. Users will be able to reach Paris Aéroport Roissy-Charles de Gaulle station without a connection from the agglomerations of Chantilly, Creil, Pont-Sainte-Maxence, Clermont, Compiègne and even Amiens. The journey time will be 22 minutes by train. with 17 new daily Compiègne-Roissy round trips and 9 Creil-Roissy round trips for the TER, or 52 additional daily services. The TGV will arrive at Amiens station and 2 daily return trips Amiens-Strasbourg and Amiens-Marseille will be offered.
4 – The weight of cultural tourism
The department of Oise brings together some of the most beautiful castles in France: Chantilly, Compiègne, Pierrefonds. Without counting the cathedrals of Beauvais, Senlis and Noyon, jewels of Gothic art. Or the garden of Gerberoy, classified among the most beautiful villages in France. One of the largest amusement parks in Europe is also located in the Oise: Parc Astérix, with 2.3 million visitors in 2019. Tourism is undoubtedly one of its main attractions. strong points.
However, in 2020, the department suffered from a bad image: that of the first outbreak of Covid-19 in France. So to revive the economy and tourism, the departmental council developed the campaign “I like the Oise” in order to educate residents to consume local and tourists to come and visit the most beautiful places in the territory. “J’aime l’Oise” subsequently became a label to promote the products and know-how of the department.
Tourism is thus one of the challenges of this campaign: to continue to promote these cultural and historical riches in order to revive the local economy strongly impacted by the health crisis. In 2020, the Department’s estimated budget allocated to tourism was 5.6 million euros. It is 5.5 million for 2021.
5- The forces present for the ballot of June 20 & 27, 2021
The outgoing majority of this Council is on the right: it won in the 2015 election 15 cantons out of 21. This allows it to have 30 of the 42 seats. The left currently holds 4: 2 socialists and 2 communists. Finally, the RN is at the head of 2 cantons. This distributes the 12 remaining seats equally between the PS, the PCF and the RN.
Historically, the department has often alternated between left and right since 1949, with a long period during which the PS was in charge: from 2004 to 2015, the socialist Yves Rome led the Oise. Since then, it is the right which directs it.
In 2015, the duel of the 2nd round was played between the list of union of the right and the National Rally (which was still the National Front) which had won the 1st round with 35.11% of the votes cast.
Today at the head of two cantons, those of Noyon and Crépy-en-Valois, Marine Le Pen’s party has set itself the goal this time of winning three-quarters of the twenty-one cantons. . “It is a realistic objective. Our candidates are quite capable of winning and working on all files, explains Audrey Havez, departmental delegate of the RN in the Oise. They have political experience, whether in the region or in municipal councils, even if many of them are candidates for the first time in departmental elections “.
For these elections, the RN can imagine itself once again in a face-to-face with the right. And the left? “Which left?” the candidates answer when asked the question. A barely veiled allusion to the fact that socialists, communists and ecologists have certainly made common cause but without succeeding in gaining the support of La France Insoumise, which is going it alone in two cantons: Méru and Montataire.
But the fact is that, during the past elections, the RN was full of its votes in the first round and despite high scores did not manage to win the second round in the majority of the cantons. What will it be this year? Especially since, like all the other parties, that of Marine Le Pen will have to fight, too, against an invisible but formidable adversary: abstention.
