Martin Hirsch defends his anti-poverty plan
3 April, 2008
Martin Hirsch goes up against François Fillon, Prime Minister of the French Republic, defending his anti-poverty plan. Despite the logic behind his idea, that 3 billion Euros for 3 million or fewer poor is a sensable plan, his chances look grim. Fillon, who is no Dominique de Villepin in a number of respects, feels that an alternative should be found, one that won’t be such a drain on the public purse. Something tells me this won’t be the last time that Fillon butts heads with is High Commisioner.
