A Judas in the French government or How France can be funny sometimes This is my first notebook entry, so I have to admit that I don't really know what to say. I'm going to speak about our former Budget Minister: Mr. Cahuzac. He was born in Talence, next to Bordeaux and was first a doctor but he became, on May, 16th 2012, the Budget Minister of the François Hollande's government. I have to say that since Mr. Hollande decided to enroll more than 30 minister to run the country and to get it out of the economical crisis, I haven't really paid attention to one of these Ministers (there are so many that I may know 2 or 3 of them), and so I didn't knew Mr. Cahuzac until this story happened. During his campaign, Mr. Hollande was resolved to fight against skimming: On the contrary to the former President, Mr. Sarkozy, Mr. Hollande was called the "president of the poors". He said that he didn't like rich people and that he was going to tax them at 57% of their annual income (this is why Gérard Depardieu, a famous french actor, escaped from here). And yet! In December of 2012, some doubts were emitted by Mediapart, a private journalism company, concerning the fiscal situation of Mr. Cahuzac. A journalist from MediaPart affirmed to have found documents concerning bank accounts in Switzerland, all owned by famous French politicians. The doubts continued and the Minister still denied these accusations, until April, 19th were eventually he was forced to quit his job. It was a scandal and many French medias relayed the idea that France's political life was immoral. Consequently, all the members of the government, that is deputies, ministers, ...etc so had to reveal their economical patrimony, in order to show French people that they're normal people and that Mr. Cahuzac was the expection, the Judas, the only corrupted politician in France (lol). Gaspard Proust, an humorist, was on the contrary delighted by this news: He said that it was actually not a bad thing that Mr. Cahuzac saved his money in Switzerland, as he was a Budget Minister; The economical situation in France is so bad, that we should be happy that the Minister who manage our money has the idea to put his in a tax haven. Hope this subject wasn't boring or anything and that you enjoyed this little article :) I can't wait to read your corrections and comments!
