Olivier Dussopt weakened before the debate

Responsible for defending the pension reform in Parliament, the Minister of Labor Olivier Dussopt confirmed, on Saturday, to be targeted by an investigation by the National Financial Prosecutor’s Office (PNF). In 2009, then mayor of Annonay (Ardèche), he received two lithographs from an entrepreneur with whom the city had a public contract. The two works, which he did not declare to the Assembly and of which he says he was unaware of the value, were then returned. According to the Minister, the PNF has retained neither “corruption”, nor “illegal taking of interest”, nor “enrichment”, but a possible offense of “favouritism”, which he disputes. “Olivier Dussopt has all my confidence”, assured Élisabeth Borne to the JDD.
