HE IS PAID 11,000€ A MONTH FOR NOT SETTING FOOT AT THE ASSEMBLY

Hummmm! Am I in shit?

The elected Guadeloupe Eric Jalton won a dubious distinction in 2015: that of the most absentee MP. Within a year, he has not set foot once in the National Assembly.

This is an amazing discovery that we made early this year when we examined the presence of MPs statistics for 2015.
We usually absentee MPs (like Senator Paul Vergès of Reunion who has counted a week of activity last year), but the member for Guadeloupe Eric Jalton broke all records in 2015, with (0) weeks of activity!

One could explain this absolute abandonment of his mandate by distance, so it was not known that the members receive 40 round trips by air per year between Paris and their constituencies, at taxpayers' expense.

The explanation, in fact, be sought in the accumulation of mandates Eric Jalton, who is also mayor of the largest city in Guadeloupe, Les Abymes.

He is also president of the agglomeration community Cap Excellence, which brings Les Abymes and the sub-prefecture, Pointe-à-Pitre.

If that was not enough, he is also dentist "very part time" and "when he's riding" (where it is nevertheless constantly), as he explains in his statement of interest and activities:

This could be laughable if Jalton was not paid by taxpayers for a term that does not exercise. Recall that an MP earns 10,817€ net per month: 5,047€ compensation, and 5,770€ representative mandate allowance costs (IRFM).

A member also has a budget of 9,504€ per month to pay his assistants, an envelope, in this case, the family benefits since some "Marine Jalton" is mentioned in the declaration of interests:

Asked by the regional daily France-Antilles, Jalton defended his constituency work evoking the parliamentary reservation, this amount of 130,000€ per member per year used to subsidize associations or local authorities. If one examines the use that made Jalton in 2014 (figures for 2015 are not yet known) shows that this is, essentially, grants to sports clubs. Difficult to talk about field work, not to mention the legislative work that was absent in Paris, he does not perform at all.

"As a taxpayer who pays my taxes for your benefit, I find outrageous that you do not exercise your mandate for which you are so generously remunerated. I ask you to return to the National Assembly or, if you find that you are unable to do so, to take note and resign your MP mandate. "

It is not much to ask!
