France’s National Front leader Marine Le Pen has defied a deadline
set by the EU authorities for her to repay funds they claim she has
misspent.
Le Pen who is also a member of the European Parliament, is to be
docked 7,000 euros a month from her EU parliamentary earnings, as of
Wednesday, in order to pay back a 300,000 euro bill.
The parliament says that in 2011-12 she paid party staff with the
funds, which according to rules should only go to lawmakers’ assistants
working within the legislature.
It means her monthly parliamentary income will be reduced to 3,000 euros.
