Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo mocked France s Public Service Ministry last week after being fined for promoting too many women to senior positions in the city’s government. I am happy to announce we have been fined, Hidalgo said during a city council meeting, according to BBC News. The management of the city hall has, all of a sudden, become far too feminist.
City Hall was fined 90,000 Euro – around $110,000 – for promoting more than 60% of one gender to senior positions.
In 2018, 11 women and five men were promoted within the city s government, violating the 2013 gender parity rule meant to help women.

After being informed about the hefty penalty this week, Mayor Anne Hidalgo told a city council meeting: “I am happy to announce that we have been fined.”
