French president, Sarkozy, in his EU presidency, wasted 250,000 on a temporary luxury shower unit -- which he never used
Recently exposed European Union accounts demonstrate a level of waste and greed that ordinary people will find extremely offensive.
For example on one occasion, the president of France, Nicolas Sarkozy, during his presidency of the EU, spent a quarter of a million pounds of public money on a temporary shower for himself for a three-day meeting. In the end, he never even used the shower. This sum of money would have been a gross abuse of power even if the shower had not been temporary. Meanwhile we ordinary people work hard to live a modest life, no thanks to the ruling elite who ensure that for instance people are denied cancer drugs because they are too expensive.
The ruling elite of the European Union are criminals, at least they certainly would be if we made the rules and not them. (If you live in Europe, he was wasting your money).
The EU is arguably the most corrupt and bloated public institution in the history of human civilisation.
