Étendre aux membres du Gouvernement l'interdiction du cumul avec une fonction exécutive locale

This French constitutional bill would extend to members of the Government a prohibition on holding a local executive office at the same time. Under the existing rule, such a combination of roles is already restricted for parliamentarians. The aim of the proposal is to apply the same separation to ministers, so that they cannot also lead a local executive body while serving in national government. This is based on metadata only, not the full legislative text, so the exact scope and mechanics are not confirmed here. The main people affected would be French ministers and other members of the Government, who would have to give up any local executive role, such as a mayoralty or a departmental or regional executive position, in order to take or keep a government post. Local voters and local authorities could also be indirectly affected by changes in who holds these positions.
