The thing that the chattering classes are amusing themselves with today are the Presidential candidates’ wealth tax declarations (ISF). It all started yesterday with rumours on the blog that the Holland/Royal couple had an SCI (société civile immobilière, a common structure which helps with the ownership and inheritance of property without being overt tax evasion) undeclared for ISF. The right is being accused of ‘google bombing’
Royal came out last night and gave the detail of her wealth:
197 800 euros share in the family appartment of 120 m2 in
108 000 euros share in a house in Alpes-Maritimes of 120 M2 bought in 1986. No credit outstanding
50,000 in a house of 100 m2 (net of 111 024 outstanding debt)in a house in
Shares bonds, none
Valuable objects none
Life insurance none
Car = Renault Scénic
She paid 862 euros of ISF last year
Royal concluded by asking all the other candidates to reveal their wealth. And also accusing the right of campaigning like ‘racailles’. The very word that Sarko used for the guys in the suburbs he wanted to Karcher.
So far the green candidate (Voynet) has come up with a gas powered twingo. The workers’ candidate (Arlette Laguiller) with 3000 euros in a post office savings account
Everybody is waiting for Sarko and Le Pen who are looking for their declarations.
The other interesting thing is that there is a mole in the central socialist committee that discusses campaign issues. In a meeting that was supposed to be secret somebody left their telephone on so that a journalist at Le Monde could get a full transcript of the meeting.
Apparently the socialists are rattled following Sarkozy’s recent speech and Ségo is on the defensive. With that sort of caper she will have to confiscate everybody’s telephone before the meetings start. Nice trusting atmosphere!!!
