Paris’ mayor fined $100K for appointing too many women

Is there such a thing as too many women in leadership positions?

Oui, according to France’s Ministry of Public Service, which recently served Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo with a fine of 90,000 euros (about $109,470) for appointing too many women as city officials, NPR reported.

French law dictates that men and women must be represented in local government at a rate of at least 40% each.

In 2018, her office hired 11 women and five men into senior roles — giving women a 69% majority for new appointments.

On Tuesday, Hidalgo tweeted that she and the women serving alongside her would gladly travel to deliver the fee personally.

Hidalgo copped to the takeover and said her intention was to “promote and one day achieve parity” with men throughout all of French government.
