In this, I agree with her, it is absurd to have demographic requirements.

 

Paris mayor mocks 'absurd' fine for hiring too many women

 

Eleven women and five men had been promoted in 2018, breaching a national 2013 rule designed to bring about gender parity in employment.

The Paris authorities are being fined €90,000 ($109,000; £81,000) by the public service ministry.

"I am happy to announce we have been fined," Ms Hidalgo said.

The 2013 rule meant no more than 60% of new appointments to management positions in public service should go to one sex. Ms Hidalgo's recruitment drive saw 69% of the jobs go to women.

Addressing a council meeting, the Socialist mayor joked: "The management of the city hall has, all of a sudden, become far too feminist."

I am sure no one would have said anything if the situation was reversed.  Stupid law all around.
