is the king of absenteeism policy Champion empty chair at the Palais du Luxembourg: for his "work" of Senator Francis Vendasi 71 years, elected Haute-Corse, receive an allowance of € 7,100 depending on gross per month, plus € 6,209 net of representation allowances ... for one day attendance per year. Equally surprising, "Mr. Fanfan," as his friends affectionately call him, is fulfilling its incredible absenteeism: "I go to the Senate only once a year, because it is not with the effects of race in the amphitheater Senate rule that the records. Not being a great orator, I prefer to leave the floor some of the 17 members of my group, the Rally for Democracy and Social Committee, "he said on France-Soir. Better still, his annual visit to Paris, always at the end of November, coincides with the Congress of the Association of Mayors of France: "On this occasion, I invite some of my electors to lunch," he said. They are the ones that ensure the election of François Vendasi the Senate. Senator ghost continues: "Rather than go into session in the Senate, faced with a secretary of state who does not know much about the case, I prefer to stay on the ground in Corsica, and advocate files directly with department officials. Paris and its political jousting, this is not my thing. But we can not say that I do nothing. The job of a senator, is especially for me the local representation. "Honesty There's a certain honesty to recognize and absenteeism. Indeed, there is no requirement to do Vendasi Francis. Since the National Assembly, the Senate does not publish on the presence of Senators sitting or in committee. For each member, both meetings are content to indicate on their websites the speeches of each member in the Chamber and in committees, their bills or reports filed and oral questions. Examination of these statistics fits perfectly with the words of "Mr. Fanfan." Since his election to the Senate, June 19, 2005, he never spoke in the Chamber of the Palais du Luxembourg and is not longer involved with the Committee on Social Affairs, which is yet a member. During those five and a half years in office, he still asked fifty-two written questions ... from Corsica! He is the author of any reports or parliamentary bill. Still, Francis Vendasi plans to seek re-election to the Senate in 2014. He will then have 74 years. € 16,736.25 per month to Absent Paris, pluralist in Corsica: Francis Vendasi receives for all of its mandates a total of € 16,736.25, at the expense of the Republic. More than half of that escapes, quite legally, to tax on income. For his term as senator, he just touches € 7,100.15 gross allowance and € 6,209.13 net 'compensation representative flat fee mandate "(IRFM) plus € 2,090.81 gross as Mayor Furiani € 1,254.48 gross and as vice-president of "agglomeration Bastia. Question: € 6,209.13 to IRFM for which no proof is required, they do not duplicate costs that are reimbursed on receipts as mayor of Furiani and vice-chairman of the urban community of Bastia? In addition to these benefits as all MPs, Francis Vendasi enjoys certain privileges, which he does not abuse, as 40 round trips by plane from Paris to Bastia and unlimited travel on the network SNCF and RATP. His term runs until 2014. If he resigned in June, this champion of empty chair would already entitled to a pension of nearly € 1,900 monthly for six-year term only Senator not to mention his other pensions of former Vice-President General Council of Haute-Corse, mayor of Furiani. Reminder: a French retired receive a monthly pension of 1,300 € gross average, after forty years of contributions ... Unsanctioned absences Theoretically the Senate endorses absenteeism. Article 15 of its Rules of Procedure, paragraph 3 states that "in case of three consecutive absences of a senator, not justified in the standing committee on which he sits, the compensation function can be halved until the regular session in October. " This sanction has never struck Vendasi Francis. It's not special treatment. Article 15 has never been applied in the Senate. For the rest, "Mr. Fanfan" has to be accountable only to its 540 electoral votes. The policy of "empty chair" has not prevented "Fanfan" to be brilliantly re-elected Senator of Haute-Corse, September 23, 2008, with 62% of the votes cast by its 540 electoral votes, including 2 MPs, 27 Councillors the Corsican Assembly, 30 councilors and 481 municipal councilors, representing the population of Upper Corsica, 141,584 inhabitants. Conclusion of the great absentee: "This result gives me a strong legitimacy to represent our department and Corsica in Parliament. A third working hard course, the case of Francis Vendasi is extreme. But the centrist senator of the Somme, Marcel Donneux, says the 343 senators French are not all in attendance a copy of "One-third or almost never comes, another third comes irregularly and third working hard "he said. Papi cheerful, helpful and appreciated, Vendasi Francis knows he is the undisputed yellow jersey 'third of senators who are never or almost never "to Paris. With some of its elected officials, the Republic is a good child. At its discharge lazy kings, Francis Vendasi is not the only senator follower of absenteeism. He has five "competitors" serious, rarely seen in Paris. Rival 1 and reelected in 2008, Senator and former non-registered RPR Flosse, 79 years. Reason given: the removal from its territory, French Polynesia. He still receives his compensation. Another challenger for the title of worst student in the class: Modem Senator Mayor of Biarritz, Didier Borotra, 73. Since 2003, it remains unknown to the Senate staff (staff benefits, meanwhile, eleven weeks of paid vacation!). Another case, Senator Socialist Mayor of Clermont-Ferrand, Serge Godard, 74, who was replaced in March 2010 Michel Charasse, appointed to the Constitutional Council. In one year, he never spoke in the Chamber and only twice in committee of the economy. Senator since 2007, President PS Regional Council of Haute-Normandie, Alain Le Vern, 63, is likewise invisible to the Luxembourg Palace. This Fabius prefer pure sugar appear there as the king of the bill or resolution (74 in three and a half!), A priori transmitted by fax or mail. A final example of notable absentee: the UMP senator and former mayor of Saint-Quentin (Aisne), Pierre Andre 64. Suffering from cancer of the vocal cords, he himself announced publicly, it has enormous difficulties with speech. But this has not led the senator to resign, or his term expires in 2014 as a senator nor his chairmanship of the agglomeration of Saint-Quentin, nor his position as alderman of this city. In case of resignation, retirement of Senator would amount to 3.750 € gross for twelve years in office. Senator, he won the double
