Wine, cheese and coca
So let me get this straight…
Your argument is whether or not alcohol should be covered by your tax payers money?
And nothing to do with the fact that your law makers are getting completely hammered on the job.
I thought the Brits were bad.
You guys in France….wow. just wow.
This is a good way to set a good example of fiduciary responsibility to the French people. The assembly members should pay for their own alcohol until the budgetary situation is fixed.
Seriously? I am not interested in Politics but if i was a french citizen then i would have definitely considered joining politics. Is this the reason heated debates are quite common in French parliament😅? Is this the reason French politicians don't feel nervous before speech or any important session??
but it's France….. it's fine
In my opinion, this sounds like a publicity event to rile up citizens
Alcohol should not be consumed in the workplace !
they really sell alcohol in parliament, cmon I don't believe it! 😂
