Pecresse’s Budget Cuts Spark Outrage in Île-de-France

Valérie Pécresse, the president of the Île-de-France region, has proposed budget cuts that are causing significant concern among the region’s communist representatives. According to a leaked document, Pécresse’s administration has outlined plans for a 15% reduction in operational spending and a 20% cut in investments. The document, addressed to regional vice-presidents, reveals a budget plan that communist officials have described as an ‘unprecedented austerity measure’ with potentially severe consequences. The proposed cuts have drawn criticism from communist lawmakers, who warn of the potential negative impact on essential services and public projects in the region.
