News -Val -de -Travers – [Parole aux partis] Open letter – General Council of June 20, 2025

As part of the meeting of the Val-de-Travers General Council of June 20, 2025, Philippe news -val -de -travers – Vaucher, General Councilor for the Popular Workers Party (POP), intervened on behalf of his group during the 2024 annual accounts.
We publish here, in the form of an open letter, the content of his intervention, transmitted to Vallon.info.

The POP group would first of all thank the municipal staff and the municipal council for the work accomplished.

With almost 1.3 million profit, an improvement of more than 2.8 million compared to the budget, the 2024 accounts can only rejoice us.

Once again. Nevertheless, we must see that when developing the budget, if it is relatively easy to provide charges, estimating the tax income to come is much more complicated, see impossible. These prudent estimates should therefore not trigger. each month of December, a psychodrama and an uncontrolled panic movement which lead to amendments at all costs, not supported and deposited at the last minute. We hope that. following this good exercise, the news -val -de -travers – necessary decline will be taken by the majority of our authority and will allow an development of the 2026 serene and thoughtful budget.

We also hope that the unacceptable attacks carried out by the right of the federal parliament against the minimum wage will not push unscrupulous employers to lower the wages of their employees. reducing by the same tax revenues and increasing the social assistance invoice. Because by dint of always wanting to enrich the wealthiest. to impoverish the most modest, it is the whole of the functioning of society and public authorities that we put in danger.

Finally. we want to note that the debt, even if it is important, largely concerns frequent sectors such as CAD or water supply, which puts its importance into perspective.

In conclusion, the POP group will accept accounts as presented.

Philippe Vaucher-Pop, workers’ and popular party in Val-de-Travers.
