Re: Major political scandal underway in France (4.00 / 2)

It used to be €7800 euros for ministers, but a budgetary law in 2002 (a law that was meant to limit budgetary wastes of money) has made that go up to €13300.

Let me just translate that into, oh, I see, over one million French francs per year, ok yep, you're right, they're mega-rich.

Let's limit budgetary waste by doubling ministers' salaries.

guaranteed to evoke a violent reaction from police is to challenge their right to "define the situation." --- David Graeber citing Marc Cooper

It's hard to decide what salary to give them as French right-wing politicians are priceless.

Oh and incidentally it's one of the first laws passed by the right-wing government that was elected in 2002.
