The deputy of Ille-et-Vilaine and first quaestor of the Palais-Bourbon boasts of savings made under the previous mandate. But the figures contradict the words of this parliamentarian to the methods deemed abrupt.

He entered the light at the beginning of the five -year term in his costume of “Cost Killer”, which he has not left since. Florian Bachelier, 43, skillfully styled-decorated, the pressed pace and the desired desire to “move the lines”, speaks cash and does not bother with conventions. In June 2017, ten days after winning his first mandate as a deputy La République en Marche (LRM) in Ille-et-Vilaine, he was elected by his quaestor peers of the National Assembly. A large charge, entrusted to three deputies – two of the majority, one of the opposition -, which consists in managing the approximately 540 million euros in annual expenses of the assembly, 900 civil servants and 300 contract workers and prestigious fairs receipt of the Questure.
Florian Bachelier is quick to make it a platform. In November 2017, his “secret savings plan” on the budget of the Palais-Bourbon made ” One “of the Sunday Journal (JDD): 1 million euros by the End of the year, 10 million in 2018, then 15 million per year on the rest of the mandate … The coup arouses bronca from his colleagues quaestors and the president of the National Assembly, François de Rugy , which had not been consulted beforehand.
To JDD journalists, he announced the sale of the Broglie hotel, bought 63 million euros, in 2016, to house the deputies and thus reduce their hotel costs. There either, none of his colleagues is consulted, the measure is rejected. M. de Rugy and the other QUESTEUS LRM, Laurianne Rossi (Hauts-de-Seine), will have a charter adopted which forces the office of the office any transaction greater than 1 million euros. Whatever, the message has passed and it will be repeated many times during the five -year term. “In the National Assembly, the bamboo with public money, it’s over!” Repeated Florian Bachelier, in March, at Micro Armoric Blue .
At a time when the deputy for the 8 e district of Ille-et-Vilaine once again requests the votes of his fellow citizens, praising his first quaestor and the “96,2 million euros of public money [saved] in five years “, the opposite observation is essential. Under this XV e legislature, the National Assembly spent more than during the previous one … and, for Florian Bachelier, the quaesture has become a means to climb into the first circles of Macronie.
media outputs
Barely arrived, the deputy becomes the champion of the “transformation” of the assembly in the “start-up nation” sauce. Purchase of tactile tablets, installation of Wi-Fi … It multiplies symbolic investments, but also media outputs to attribute the fruits of reforms putting an end to the specificities of parliamentary status, such as the abolition of the special pension plan for deputies or alignment of their unemployment insurance plan with ordinary law. To the point of forgetting the necessary collegiality of the decisions of the quaesture and to turn part of the institution for a long time. Events went almost unnoticed: nearly 300 staff members (out of 1,200) strikes on February 8 against the reform of the parliamentary public service handed over the table by Mr. Bachelier, after the first confinement. An unprecedented mobilization under the v e republic.
