One of Macron's top aides is accused of nepotism
The pretentious new French president Emmanuel Macron just had his first scandal:
French President Emmanuel Macron’s effort to clean up politics has suffered its first blow, with a newspaper report suggesting a dubious property deal by one of his ministers.He can deny all he wants, but I wouldn't be shocked at all if he's guilty. And I sincerely hope this'll complicate his party's chances in the parliamentary elections.
Social Cohesion Minister Richard Ferrand denies wrongdoing.
Investigative paper Le Canard Enchaine reported Wednesday that in 2011, an insurance company then run by Ferrand struck a rental deal with a company owned by Ferrand’s romantic partner for 42,000 euros ($47,000) a year. The paper also says Ferrand hired his son as a parliamentary aide for a gross salary of 8,704 euros for a “few months.”
