The carcass of a car, set on fire during the urban violence in Amiens.

It is not because France is on the straw that his debt hits all the limits in a disconcerting relaxation of the government that it would be necessary for all that to close the taps with free money of the others. The distribution can therefore continue happily. Or even accelerate, as in Seine-Saint-Denis for example.
We learned almost a year ago through the voice of the then Prime Minister, a certain Édouard, a grocer specializing in hard discount on Republican principles, that the State was going to undertake to pay a solid premium to certain of its agents who have stayed at least five years in Seine-Saint-Denis: in order to perpetuate the civil servants on the spot, the authorities have indeed found it wise to grant up to € 10,000 in “loyalty bonus” for those of its agents who would remain in the department for five years or more.
However, it was on the occasion of the trip to Bobigny of the current Prime Minister, a somewhat bland guy with a name of engine oil, that he payment of this bonus has been confirmed, from October 1, to agents who met the award criteria. It appears that a third of magistrates and more than 60% of teachers must be renewed each year in Seine-Saint-Denis, this department apparently not being able to retain the goodwill for very long.
This interesting news allows us in passing to learn two things which, of course, are not mentioned in the little articles which mention it without touching it too much.
Firstly, there would be in certain departments a particularly high rate of attrition among civil servants to the point that one comes to distribute solid bonuses to remain there: would this mean that certain areas of France are at this level. not so unattractive that they scare away the most capable elements?
However, this department is undoubtedly part of one of the most vibrant and diverse activities of our beautiful country, with a sparkling multiculturalism, known around the world. Perhaps it is this overflowing activity, these almost permanent festivities, this somewhat supercharged atmosphere and this population decidedly very … young which ends up wearing down the good health and determination of the officials assigned to it?
Or perhaps this atmosphere does not conceal a few too pronounced incivilities, small citizen slippages a little too festive, a delinquency or even a criminality a tad too present? Would we go so far as to say that these agents, tired of managing a real torrent of mud with the means at hand and, above all, a perfect and total disempowerment of absolutely the entire republican hierarchy, flee as soon as they can? of a department which, with each passing day, sinks into this wildly that the Camp du Bien quickly called a myth before attributing it to an extreme right-wing guilty of all evils?
No, that cannot be this explanation, as everyone knows that these drifts do not exist, neither in France in general, nor in Seine-Saint-Denis in particular.
So why the hell?
Why the magistrates, the police officers, the hospital staff and the teachers seem to flee this zone which however has everything to please from a public transport infrastructure rivaling the capital, to moderate rents although in geographical proximity of Paris, Ville A light of art and resplendent culture, isn’t it?
In addition, isn’t Seine-Saint-Denis one of the departments most endowed with cultural and sporting facilities, as the city’s policies and other outpouring of public money have been ultra-generous these 40 last years ? In addition, is 93 not this bastion of the left furthest to the left, the one which, undoubtedly at least on paper, presents itself as really listening to the people and superbly tuned to their needs to the point of always work for him?
This last reason alone should, for example, finish convincing the black hussars of the Republic to rush there. However, it is not. It is really surprising.
We really wonder why there is not more jostling of agents in this department in front of all these assets! If we now add this solid bonus to this, we wonder if the government has not come to value quite concretely the extent of the problem, by estimating at more than one less net salary per year, for 5 years, the going to 93 rather than to Creuse (also poor, by the way, but maybe too quiet?) …
On the other hand, the payment of this bonus allows us to learn another thing.
So, in essence, 15 million euros will be devoted every year to primer compensate individuals to stay in Seine-Saint-Denis… In short, it is exactly like the indemnities that we pay to these officials that we have to send to the other side of the world in these small distant ends of the Republic. Or, in the same way, to this “OPEX bonus” that the soldiers receive when they are running far from their barracks to defend the flag, the widow, the orphan or the more or less clear interests of our Great And Beautiful Republic One and Moderately Indivisible But All the Same.
From this point of view, it therefore does not seem completely stupid to consider that this department is becoming, like certain distant islands where the presence of French administrations is considered essential, little bits of our Republic detached in inhospitable areas and that the agents who officiate there be treated there almost like expatriates or soldiers in operation, and that they must in any case be compensated for the beautiful spirit of sacrifice which they demonstrate by agreeing to go there (and there serve five long years).
Yes, you have understood it: with the payment of this bonus, now formalized and which will begin to fall in a few months for happy officials present for five years on the spot, the government formalizes in hollow this notion of “Separatism”, giving this department a status clearly separated from its little metropolitan comrades.
When we remember that in parallel, nothing has fundamentally changed either in the sovereign policies, or in the hierarchies and political decisions, all this feels both efficiency and solid control of the problem.
