“Will we have to come at 4 in the morning?”: In the northeast of Paris, a tax on the reorganization of Taxman will lead to the closing of a particularly frequent fiscal service, for user dismay. Gray hood in the head and drilling in the nose, Abdou Nael Bellinga, 20 -year -old student in tile training, patient backed by the networks still closed from a tax center in the 19th Paris District during the period of declaration of income.
“Internet I can’t do it, they are difficulties,” says Sadio Sakho, a 53 -year -old restoration employee who awaits him. Located in the heart of a popular district of the capital, at the foot of the “Little Belt” forms, there are an old railway line that turned Paris, the days of the center of Argonne are counted. Abdou Nael Bellinga, hand -based documents, says he had to go back three times, one of which only a few meters from the entrance because he had arrived too late.
180,000 inhabitants district
This center, one of the last two in the Northeast of Paris with another site in the twenty-district, will stop welcoming users from 2027 and will definitely close its doors in 2028. By then, the deplorate of the unions that the reception is reduced from summer to three mornings per week (8: 45-12: 45), in a contest that has more than 180,000 inhabitants. Abdou Nael Bellinga arrived at 6 in the morning: “But if it closes and you have to go elsewhere, we will have to come at 4 in the morning!” He laments.
45 minutes from the opening, a long line of around 150 people visibly receives more than fifty meters. At the opening of the grids, a security agent guarantees first filtering: orients towards the mailbox for the deposits of the simple statement, offers chairs to the elderly to wait, check the bags … “I arrived at 8 am, I did not think there would be so many people,” confesses Maurizio Fernandez, a 36 -year -old Mexican who makes his first paper statement, so it can be an expiration date.
In France, there are “many administrative formalities (…) and it is not good for people to have less access to this service, especially when we do not dominate the language,” explains this manager of the University City of Paris that is expressed in Spanish.
Many people “control taxes badly, language and it is always easier to have someone opposite to explain their problem,” said Magali Pougnet, another union official. The General Directorate of Public Finance (DGFIP) justifies the measure through a “necessary” services group, the “relocation of certain activities for the benefit of medium, peri -urban or rural cities”, and ensures that it remains in ten “central and peripheral” districts.
“I don’t understand much”
If Maurine Ngassam is no longer in her first statement, she believes that she needs a “change”, she who has a work work on their own with her studies of philosophy. “They send a brochure to guide us, but I don’t understand much of that,” admits the 23 -year -old woman, full -hand sheets. During the last two years, “the situation has deteriorated, it is really a tasting,” says Manuella Kamdom that has lived in the neighborhood for ten years and accompanies her son for her first statement. Taxes are “it is super complicated,” he said.
The closure: “I’m going to be thick, it’s a cowry,” he denounces Léa, a sixty -year -old man who did not give his name. “People need that. They have reduced the hours of public reception, and there they are going to close? It’s not a good idea. Little daddies, do you know how to handle the Internet? We have to think about them. We can handle it, but they?” Ask the caregiver.
