It is a French scandal. One of these arrangements between friends that you carefully hides the citizen, but expensive to the taxpayer. Indeed, France Soir reveals that some of our politicians and other officials were appointed prefects by our successive presidents but have never exercised any function.

Both indicate formally the same profession: Prefect. Yet the first is a lawyer and the second senior communities. In fact, these two great local notables Party socialistequi never served as prefect had been appointed as such, in its discretion, by then President Francois Mitterrand in 1985 and the first in 1983 the second.
