After the revelations of Médiapart, François de Rugy is overtaken by his dinners organized when he presided over the National Assembly.
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
It's official, François de Rugy has nothing to reproach himself with. The renovation of his official residence at the Ministry of Ecology has complied with the rules according to the report of the Comptroller General of Armies, 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 everything is not 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 services of the Assembly must also publish on Tuesday their report on the dinners organized by the former President of the hemicyle but, according to several media, again, François de Rugy is cleared. Médiapart, however, announces new information for the end of the day ...
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 ...;)
