Laundered for the renovation of his official residence at the Ministry of Ecological Transition, François de Rugy is overtaken by his dinners when he chaired the National Assembly. The internal investigation launched after the revelations of Médiapart pin three dinners for their private use.
The photos of lobsters, grand cru and rose petals on the dining table of the Hotel de Lassay had launched the controversy over the lifestyle of François de Rugy.
Finally, of the twelve meals challenged by Mediapart between June 2017 and September 2018, only three dinners are problematic, the famous Valentine's Day dinner, another for Christmas 2017 and a third with a few guests.
Festivals that had a " family or friendly character, and a level (of benefits) obviously excessive compared to what may be considered reasonable " politely notes the General Secretariat of the Assembly.
But François de Rugy " did not break any rule and did not commit any irregularities, " the report concludes.
Even before the result of this investigation, François de Rugy had undertaken to repay " every euro contested ". " He will do it " confirms his entourage tonight.
The works respect the rules
The renovation of its official residence at the Ministry of Ecology has been in keeping with the rules, according to the report of the Inspector General of the Armed Forces, Virginie Aubard, in the report of the General Secretariat of the Government.
A "refreshment" was necessary with a flat: some costs could have been revised downward as the dressing to seventeen thousand euros.
Evidence that not everything is perfect, Matignon - who had asked this administrative institution an inspection on the regularity of work undertaken by the former number two of the government - will set new rules: a " new circular " will strengthen " the process of control of the work in the housing of function ".
De Rugy announces a riposte
For his part, François de Rugy now wants to wash his honor and will counterattack. Seven days after his resignation, the former minister will fight back in the media and in court. It will be tonight in the 20 hours newspaper of France 2.
François de Rugy now wants to wash his honor in front of the French and take his revenge against Mediapart , media investigation. His lawyers are thinking about the legal counterattack against the media.
The report of the government on the work of the husband Rugy therefore confirms the realization of a tailor-made wardrobe in emergency to 17,000 €, as Mediapart had written. "Back to the facts," as the former minister would say. For dinners, read Mediapart tonight ...;)
