Paris (AFP) - Paris city authorities have been fined for employing too many women in senior positions, a decision mocked as "absurd" by mayor Anne Hidalgo on Tuesday.
The fine of 90,000 euros ($110,000) was demanded by France's public service ministry on the grounds that Paris city hall had broken national rules on gender parity in its 2018 staffing.
"I am happy to announce that we have been fined," Hidalgo told a city council meeting, adding she had been filled with "joy" when she learned of the penalty.
Hidalgo said she was faulted because 11 women and only five men were named to management positions in city hall in 2018, meaning that 69 percent of the appointments went to women.
"The management of the city hall has, all of a sudden, become far too feminist," laughed the Socialist, who was re-elected for a new term at the helm of Paris last year.
According to the text of the ruling cited by Le Monde daily, city hall violated a rule dating to 2013, which stipulates said one sex should not account for more than 60 of nominations to management positions.
Responding on Twitter, France's Public Service Minister Amelie de Montchalin from the ruling Republic on the Move party acknowledged that the fine had been levied for 2018.
Since then the "absurd" rule on parity in management had been repealed, she noted.
"I want the fine paid by Paris for 2018 to finance concrete actions to promote women in the public service. I invite you to the ministry to discuss them!," she said in a message to Hidalgo.

I would think having too many women on a workforce would already come with a built-in fine.
good
misandry needs to be stopped
LOL...in the “You can’t make this sh!t up” file...
“You’ve hired too many women and we have to fine you. I want the fine paid by you to finance concrete actions to promote women in the public service.”
Apparently the goal is supremacy, not equality. She’ll have to get in line with all the other grievance groups. Only one can be supreme at a time.
If it was repealed why are they mentioning it now?
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
LOL! Their stupid law came back to bite them! BTW, I think it may actually be an EU law or policy, so we’ll see how that works out for them.
“I would think having too many women on a workforce would already come with a built-in fine.”
It does. It always has. Societies just have to relearn nomens’s realties every five hundred years or so, after being seduced, again, by their siren songs...
Coming soon to a government agency near you.
Goodfor Paris its about time someone stood up to women in the workplace. They belong in men’s sports, not th e workplace.
Jk
Well I’m sure when the Muslims take over France they will fix that.
Watch the same girls scream if it were 69% men.
Based on this evidence, hiring too many French women is OK by me.
I call on Hidalgo and Montchalin to resign and apologize for their violent hate speech.
1 woman is fine in an office, 2 women in the office is okay, but be warned about 3 or more.
One of them will feel left out, and become bitter.
Men don’t care about that crap.
During my one and only trip to Paris, I was shocked what full unionization can do to a country.
Frankly I was surprised Paris hasn’t totally collapsed.
Monthly fines, at that!
Hehe, you’re bad!
