La Cour des comptes, dans son audit (PDF) rendu public le 2 juillet, pointe du doigt les projets d'infrastructures de transport du quinquennat de Nicolas Sarkozy, dont le coût cumulé est de 260 milliards d'euros, dont un tiers à la charge de l'Etat et plus d'un autre tiers pour les collectivités locales. La Cour a mis notamment en cause les 14 lignes nouvelles de TGV promises d'ici à 2020.The Court of Auditors in its audit ( PDF) released on July 2, points to the transport infrastructure projects of the mandate of Nicolas Sarkozy, the combined cost of which is 260 billion euros, one third at the expense of the state and another third for local communities.

There is no money for infrastructure projects. Right?
