The High Authority for Transparency in Public Life (HATVP) has just put the asset declarations of members of Elisabeth Borne's government online.
A publication which comes a few days after a referral to justice for "false evaluation" against the former minister Caroline Cayeux.
The High Authority for the Transparency of Public Life (HATVP) has posted the asset declarations of the 43 members of the Borne government, ministers, deputy ministers and secretaries of state, online, reflecting the diversity of their origins and situations.
It is the imminence of this publication which accelerated the resignation of the government on Monday of the Minister Delegate for Local Authorities, Caroline Cayeux, in disagreement with the HATVP.
