Paris city hall fined for putting too many women in senior roles

Paris mayor to pay fine of 90,000 for breaking national rules in 2018 on gender parity

Paris city authorities have been fined for employing too many women in senior positions, a decision mocked as absurd by the mayor, Anne Hidalgo, on Tuesday.

The fine of 90,000 (81,000) 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.
