The survey, conducted by Bercy and the Ministry of Culture, whitens the president of Radio France charges of wasteful spending. The business office is primarily the story of a spinout of rosewood restoration costs.
Car, office, communications adviser. .. the president of Radio France does a train harmful life for company accounts? The prosecution, born of several articles of Chained Duck , resulted in an investigation by the General Inspectorate of Finance, conducted by Bercy and the Ministry of Culture. And the conclusions of the report whiten Mathieu Gallet revealed. “I never doubted the findings of the investigation,” said the latter after the publication on Monday of the entire document. Here are the main points.
● A spinout of the cost of renovating the office of the president
As Mathieu Gallet repeated several times in recent weeks, the decision to move from 4th to 3rd floor office of the presidency of Radio France was taken well before his arrival last summer. The latter appears in tenders dating from 2009, under the name “files for preservation and care of furniture rests with the President.” The cost is estimated at € 19,781.85.
woodworking business proceeds in 2010 to dismantle the famous wall in rosewood. But the company went bankrupt, and with it disappears reassembly plan precious furniture. Without this document, “the pieces were a simple ‘fagot’,” notes the IGF. A new company is commissioned to go up as much as possible rosewood. But the final cut “this assembly defects and adverse attachment to its preservation,” say the end of 2013 the architects of historical monuments. We’ll have to start from zero and restore damaged parts for 34,500 euros. But removal is more difficult than expected. Given these difficulties, it was decided to “put up a book’s adaptation to a possible subsequent removal easier.” Total cost of the operation: 68 244 euros
● The mysterious origin of refurnishing the president’s office
Who decided to refurnish the office of the presidency.? Mathieu Gallet or management of the rehabilitation of the Round House? The IGF has been able to determine. But the Bercy service notes that the total cost – 18,836 euros – “has no expensive character.” The report highlights the decision not to change the lighting, which would have increased the score of 1296-7105 euros. Mathieu Gallet chose his own new meeting table, but the other furniture had to be selected from a catalog established by its services.
The carpeting, color aubergine, was replaced by a color clear “to find an aesthetic similar to that existing before the move.” Mathieu Gallet had claimed that the original carpet had been damaged during the work, but the IGF could not confirm these claims despite “photographs and interviews.” Furniture, carpet and installation of mechanical blinds have cost 32,013 euros.
● A company car in the standards of the Round House
The function change of car on arrival Mathieu Gallet did nothing wrong, says the IGF. The old drive to the presidency, a Citroen C6, was four years old and more than 120,000 miles on it. Or, Radio France renews its fleet, rented or purchased, every four years on average and its leases never exceed 120,000 kilometers. In addition, various documents have proved that the decision to change the C6 President was taken well before the appointment of Mathieu Gallet.
The latter has selected a Peugeot 508 hybrid. This ecological model is more expensive than its diesel equivalent to renting, but opens the door to many tax deductions and a sharp reduction in fuel consumption. “These elements lead to reduce the monthly cost of a hybrid vehicle over 133 euros compared to a conventional vehicle,” the report said. This also indicates that the monthly cost of Presidents of the cars has been falling since 2006. Similarly, unlike its predecessors, Mathieu Gallet can not use professional vehicle for private purposes.
● Some wood finishes forgotten
Note that the Peugeot 508 would have cost more. The Presidency had chosen “wood package” which includes better seats and wood finishes for the dashboard, but this was forgotten when the vehicle control. Radio France was first thought to be added the missing elements, but the cost of the operation (1300 euros excluding tax) resulted in the abandonment of the work on 18 March. Chance or coincidence, it is also the date of the publication of the first article Chained Duck on expenditures of the Presidency.
● Advice in communication in standards
Of course, the presidency has chosen the services of Denis Pingaud without competition, “but that does not necessarily mean a departure from the usual procedures of Radio France.” IGF stresses that the contract initially tacit agreement was replaced by a firm end date (31 May 2015) after analyzing the legal service of the radio. A tender in good and due form is being prepared, a first for Radio France. The IGF also believes that the mission of Denis Pingaud “corresponds to a counseling service in communication strategy, and not for promotional operations of the personal image of the president.”
● Two trips questioned
The IGF has no complaints about travel expenses Mathieu Gallet. Transport supported by Radio Taxi France “are consecutive in cultural events involving Radio France” and otherwise “have been reimbursed to the company by check.” The service however Bercy tick on two trips abroad (eleven made a year ago by Mathieu Gallet). Public radio supported a return to Shanghai as part of the “Young Leaders” program, and a trip to Brazil “to meet the teams of Radio France on site and watch a game” of football.
