Jospin répond à Sarkozy

The former prime minister rejected the arguments put forward by the head of state to justify the increase in his salary

In an interview Tuesday Parisien / Aujourd 'hui, Nicolas Sarkozy had explained its émoluements want to align with those of the tenant Matignon. He said: "Who set the salary of the Prime Minister? Lionel Jospin."

"That's wrong", a replica thereof in a letter Thursday to the same newspaper, because his salary "was fixed by decree" presidential.

In autumn 2007, the substantial increase in the salary of Nicolas Sarkozy, expected to align with the treatment of the Prime Minister, had provoked the emotions of a section of public opinion, by means of criticism on the left.

Background About Sarkozy in Le Parisien
Tuesday in Le Parisien / Aujourd 'hui en France, and while its popularity is falling in recent weeks, Nicolas Sarkozy has embarked on an argument from his salary. He explained that he wanted to "win just as the prime minister" or "19,177 euros", while Jacques Chirac won in "20,000", accumulating 10,000 euros salary as president and all his retreats. " "Who fixes the salary of the Prime Minister? Lionel Jospin. When Lionel Jospin said that the Prime Minister must win 20,000 euros, there is no controversy because it is left," said Nicolas Sarkozy. "And we said, 'Sarkozy increases by 140% his salary!'. Where did they see that?"

The development of Jospin in Le Parisien
Lionel Jospin says that Nicolas Sarkozy has "unfortunately based his argument on two falsehoods": "He claimed that I set myself the salary of the Prime Minister (ie my own salary). C'est False. My treatment was fixed, such as ministers, by decree of the President of the Republic. " Lionel Jospin continues: Nicolas Sarkozy has argued that this amount was 20,000 euros. It's still wrong. " He then explained that his arrival at Matignon in 1997, his salary was "F 59,000 net (allowances) or 9000 euros", and not the figure of 20,000 euros. "Then, and until my departure in 2002, this treatment has progressed that pace increases made in the Civil Service."
