Jérôme Cahuzac, Minister of the Budget until March 18, 2013, repeatedly denied that he had an Account in a Swiss Bank, but yesterday he admitted his guilt and was finally prosecuted !!!
He lied in a spectacular manner to everyone;
- to President Hollande,
- to the Prime Minister,
- to the French Parliament,
- to the French Public and Electors when interviewed at Prime Time on French Television.
President Hollande has always insisted that he wants an "exemplary Government". Alas this pious wish is now in shreds, particularly after recent revelations seem to indicate that attempts were made at a high level three months ago to organise a cover-up !!! Several Ministers were aware of the problem.
In his Blog, Jérôme CAHUZAC is totally contrite. He had a political career but this is now finished. But even now he is not without means !!! He still has his account with, it seems, at least 600 000 euros in it and owns a clinic.
President Hollande affirms that he was not aware of this situation. Can one believe this, or was he only naïf ? This is the real question being debated in French political circles today and perhaps elsewhere as well !!!
Of course, some opposition politicians already demand that the Socialist Government should resign.
