Case

Case number: n° 216706

Country

France

Case Description: On March 30, 1993, the municipal council of Draguignan passed a deliberation to allocate a subsidy of 1,000 francs to the local section of the International League against Racism and Anti-Semitism (LICRA),. A local resident, Robert X..., challenged this decision. The Administrative Court of Appeal of Marseille annulled the subsidy, prompting the municipality to appeal the annulment to the Conseil d’État. The central legal issue was whether the subsidy granted to LICRA complied with the powers of a municipal council. Under Article L. 121-26 of the Code des communes (now codified as Article L. 2121-29 of the General Code of Local Authorities), a municipal council "regulates the affairs of the municipality through its deliberations". This provision allows a council to grant a subsidy to an association only when the attribution presents a communal interest. The court examined whether the actions of the local LICRA section met this criterion. While the association’s statutory humanitarian goals were susceptible to presenting a communal interest, the court found evidence of a partisan nature in its local activities. Consequently, the subsidy was illegal.
