法政府各部長將在4月15日前公開財產
法國政府宣佈，各部部長將在4月15日之前向公衆公開其名下財產，以增加政府的透明度。另外，法國政府還將出臺有關政府官員財產公開以及嚴厲懲處金融欺詐行爲的法律草案。此前，法國前經濟和財政部負責預算事務的部長級代表卡於扎克因被媒體曝光在海外擁有祕密賬戶而提出辭呈，但他本人否認相關報道。在媒體數月的追蹤報道和司法介入後，卡於扎克終於在近日承認在瑞士擁有私人賬戶，賬戶中有60萬歐元（約合477萬元人民幣）存款。上週，曾經在奧朗德競選期間負責競選財務的負責人讓•奧吉耶被曝在開曼羣島投資了兩家離岸公司。這讓本已飽受質疑的奧朗德在反對黨面前更顯尷尬。法國保守黨方面對奧朗德政府出臺的迴應政策表示不滿，要求奧朗德政府進行徹底重組。
The French government says the value of ministers' assets will be published by 15 April in a new transparency drive, amid a scandal over tax evasion.
The Socialist government also says it will present a draft law obliging MPs to declare their assets and introducing tougher penalties for financial fraud.
Currently ministers only have to declare any conflict of interest.
France's ex-Budget Minister Jerome Cahuzac has been charged with fraud over a secret Swiss bank account.
He admitted last week that he had hidden about 600,000 euros (£509,000; $770,000) in a Swiss bank account, causing shock in France.
The former conservative Prime Minister, Francois Fillon, declared his property on Monday evening.
He said he had bought his home in Sarthe for 440,000 euros 20 years ago, and now valued it at about 650,000 euros. He said he had less than 100,000 euros in savings, in several bank accounts. He also said he had two cars, each more than 10 years old.
President Francois Hollande was also embarrassed last week when it emerged that his former Socialist Party treasurer, Jean-Jacques Augier, had personal investments in two Cayman Islands offshore companies.
Mr Augier, who managed Mr Hollande's campaign funds, insisted there was "nothing illegal" in his tax haven affairs.
The conservative opposition says it is dissatisfied with the transparency measures announced so far and is demanding a thorough reshuffle of Mr Hollande's government.
Mr Hollande had promised voters morality and integrity in public life after what were nicknamed the "bling-bling" years of his conservative predecessor Nicolas Sarkozy.
But this year Mr Hollande's opinion poll ratings have slumped, as the country remains mired in recession with unemployment at 10.6%.
