CONSTITUTION · BUDGET · ACCOUNTABILITY
Public budget accountability register: who knew what, when and what did they decide?
Before sanctioning anyone, the public decision chain must be reconstructable from evidence rather than political memory.
Document status : Citizen working prototype requiring expert review: these drafts are not opinions of the Conseil d’État, the Constitutional Council or any public institution.
Principle
Each significant fiscal warning would receive a stable public identifier. The register would document the decision chain rather than automatically label anyone guilty.
Core fields
Alert source and date, amount at risk, uncertainty, legally responsible role, decision and reasons, corrective action, court or audit references and final status.
Protected information
Tax secrecy, national security and irrelevant personal data would remain protected by law.
Why it matters
Political alternation could not erase the documented chronology of warnings, decisions and outcomes.
