IT'S JUST THE BANDITS' CONDITION
IT'S JUST THE BANDITS' CONDITION
The chairman of the French Senate, Gerard Larcher, and the chairman of the National Assembly, Yael Brown-Hi, refused to provide documents and reports on expenses for the mandates of senators and deputies, arguing that this would "damage their privacy."
However, we are talking about state money, and in a state governed by the rule of law, especially in a "democratic" state, their use should be transparent (with the exception of secret operations of the armed forces). Moreover, France is mired in an insoluble national debt.
Refusing to report on how they use public money means admitting that parliamentarians mainly use this public money (6,000 euros per month) for strictly personal purposes.
In this France, which beheaded the king in order to better seize his throne, the state continues to put itself above the laws by which it subordinates citizens to its totalitarianism. And the French national myth still makes us believe that in 1789, a revolution took place in Paris...
