A group that lives on Social Security
Asked RMC and BFMTV , Minister of Ecology Ségolène Royal also found “not normal at all” this welcome bonus. “What we need is a bit of self-discipline in the decency of behavior,” said Segolene Royal, who “hope” that Olivier Brandicourt will give up those 4 million. “It would be a minimum,” said she said.
“On hearing this news I had received the slaughterhouse workers near the Mont Saint Michel (AIM, Ed) that were truly desperate, humiliated, scorned, who had no information about what they would become. (…) It is unacceptable to treat workers in this way. And coming back here, what I learn? A bonus of € 4 million for a boss who arrives at the head of a pharmaceutical company, “he told Ségolène Royal.
