Corrèze prefect Vincent Berton insisted yesterday in Tarnac, on the Millevaches plateau, that the State is not abandoning the area. Flanked by the heads of the public finance, education and gendarmerie services, he highlighted concrete results, such as a drop in burglaries linked to the arrival of a mobile police unit. Several local officials in attendance called the picture "idyllic" and far removed from daily reality, pointing to healthcare shortages and a lack of housing that holds back employment. In 2025, the State paid out 26.2 million euros in the Millevaches canton, or 2,517 euros per inhabitant.
