In Bern, the federal capital of Switzerland, elected officials have gotten into the habit of being reimbursed for the smallest expense. With more than 24,000 euros of salary per month, obviously, it's a talk of the town.
Since January 1, the seven government ministers have been entitled to an annual subscription for the ski slopes, fully covered by the taxpayer. Amount: more than 4,000 euro per elected official. That's about 20,000 bananas. The easiest way to avoid being hassled in Switzerland is to be elected to the federal government.
