The Val-d'Oise departmental council voted on the initial budget for the 2024 financial year. With a total amount of 1.67 billion euros, this budget is part of a situation of economic slowdown.

For the first time in several years, this is marked by a drop of 3.2% compared to last year. “The budget that you are presenting to us makes us stand still, when we should be moving forward,” regretted Nicolas Bougeard, co-president of the opposition group.
