Liliane Bettencourt died nearly two years ago, but it’s still true.
As to the “democratically elected government”, it wasn’t exactly a landslide. Counting abstention and blank votes, it was 43,63% to the investment banker against a known racist.
Meanwhile, our (much changed) government:
Prime Minister : ex Areva lobbyist
Minister for Work : ex head of Danone HR
New minister for Ecology: also the minister for transports, did a lot of work to help break the rail system even more. Is seconded by the ex head-lobbyst for Danone (pro-palm oil) and an ex-Véolia person who broke water distribution in India.
