Auch and Grand Auch Finalize Officials’ Indemnities

Opposition protests in Aubagne targeted a promised cut, with figures left unclear.

Overview

  • Auch and the Grand Auch Cœur de Gascogne set officials’ pay in votes held Thursday and Friday, fixing €4,841.28 gross a month for Mayor Camille Bonne and €1,150.95 for agglomeration president Jérôme Samalens.
  • France’s local code pegs these indemnities to a national public‑service index of €4,110.52 a month, with lawful boosts that Auch can use because it is the Gers prefecture and has received urban solidarity funds.
  • Auch set the mayor’s base at 80% of the index before boosts and chose 22.086% for nine deputies and 15.47% for seven delegated councillors, which come to €1,437.43 and €1,006.84 after the approved boosts.
  • At the agglomeration, rates remain 28% for the president, 9.75% for 15 vice‑presidents and 6% for two delegated councillors, and the total pay envelope ticked down with one fewer delegate this term.
  • In Aubagne, a Thursday debate on indemnities saw the RN cite an unmet pledge to cut the envelope by 10% and an UDI councillor estimate about €5,400 gross for the mayor and €1,507 for deputies after no exact figures were given in the meeting.
