For Barbara Pompili, the resignation of François de Rugy is "responsible". On the other hand, it deplores its "lightness in the management of the public means intended for the exercise of the parliamentary mandate".

Barbara Pompili, MEP LREM and close to François de Rugy, defector like him from Europe Ecology-The Greens, on Tuesday greeted "a responsible resignation" of the former minister of ecological transition, lamenting his "lightness in management public means for the exercise of the parliamentary mandate ". "I discovered with sadness the information about the financing of a political party with its mandate fees," writes the Macronist parliamentarian.

"I can not understand this lightness in the management of public resources"

A few minutes after the resignation of François de Rugy on Tuesday afternoon, Mediapart published an article claiming that he used his expenses as a deputy to pay part of his membership dues to EELV, in 2013 and 2014, while deducting them from the calculation of his taxes.

"As much as I welcome the political work done by François in favor of the reform of the institutions and the ecological transition, I can not understand this lightness in the management of the public means intended for the exercise of the parliamentary mandate", writes Mrs. Pompili in a statement posted on his Facebook account. "I am personally touched by this situation, and everyone (...) will understand, given the political course that has been ours in recent years, that I do not comment more this sad conclusion," she said.
