Revelations about discomfort in the government: Despite his requests for savings, Emmanuel Macron had a giant tarpaulin installed for 103,000 euros for just a few hours, at Place de la Concorde during the July 14 parade. (translated)
🔴🇫🇷 𝗙𝗟𝗔𝗦𝗛 𝗜𝗡𝗙𝗢 — Emmanuel Macron a fait installer une bâche géante de 400 m² sur la place de la Concorde à l’occasion du défilé du 14 Juillet, apparue quelques secondes à la télévision pour un coût de 103 000 € AU CONTRIBUABLE. Selon Le Canard enchaîné, cette bâche, destinée à promouvoir l’opération « Choose France », n’est apparue que quelques secondes à 11 reprises à la télévision. L’Élysée, avec l’appui de Matignon, a ensuite refilé la facture au Quai d’Orsay et à Bercy. Furieux, les cabinets des deux ministères ont d’abord refusé de payer, avant que le patron du Service d’information du gouvernement ne les menace pour qu’ils acceptent finalement de régler chacun la moitié de la somme. Cette dépense intervient alors que Sébastien Lecornu exige des ministères une réduction de 20 % de leurs dépenses de communication. (Source : Le Canard enchaîné) #Macron #France #Déflé
