Did the new PM, Jean Castex, received 200,000 euros of public money per year?
His functions as an interministerial delegate and his local mandates brought him 208,000 euros per year in 2018 and 2019. However, Jean Castex's remuneration should drop due to his appointment at Matignon.
Did Jean Castex receive up to 200,000 euros in annual compensation by combining various public jobs and elective positions? This statement, already relayed at the time of his appointment as "Mister deconfinement" in April, emerged in favor of his accession to Matignon and several Franceinfo internet users asked us the question on Friday. A cumulative with a full portfolio? The image would not necessarily be in line with the profile of social Gaullist and local man put forward by the majority.
What is it really like? As L'Obs (paying article) had already reported in April, Jean Castex did receive more than 200,000 euros net of public money in 2019. As president of a community of municipalities, Jean Castex had to complete a declaration of interests published by the High Authority for the transparency of public life (HATVP). The details of all his remuneration are therefore available on the HATVP website.
