Overview

• French law grants outgoing ministers an allowance equal to three months of ministerial pay, but it applies only when no remunerated activity is resumed.
• The SGG guidance, citing Article LO 153 of the electoral code, states that the new appointees who are deputies never stopped being deputies and continued to be paid by the National Assembly.
• As a result, five of the six short-lived newcomers named by Sébastien Lecornu are not entitled to the roughly €32,100 gross indemnity.
• Names cited as returning to elected roles include Roland Lescure, Éric Woerth, Naïma Moutchou, Marina Ferrari and Mathieu Lefèvre, with Rachida Dati also resuming a mandate.
• HATVP said it will not disclose the status of required asset and interest declarations before legal deadlines, leaving any remaining individual cases unresolved for now.
