12 December 2020The City of Paris was fined 90,000 euros for violating gender equality in the appointment of managers: too many women directors hired by the mayor Anne Hidalgo, as reported by "Le Monde".
According to the newspaper, the Municipality had to pay the non-negligible sum for having violated the Sauvadet law in 2018, which imposes a minimum rate of each sex for appointments to management posts in the public service.
In 2018, the City of Paris had opened up to nominations for senior executives for a total of 16 people. But out of these 16 people named, there were only 5 men, in violation of the law that requires a minimum of 40% for each sex. "Le Monde" reminds you that the 2019 law of transformation of the public service established a dispensation from this penalty if too many women or men are appointed at the same time, provided that this does not imply an imbalance between the positions occupied.
