my company is French owned, and the parent company is owned by 2 brothers, one of whom is said to be the 41st richest man in the world. he personally has pledged EUR10m, and placed his international construction company at the disposal of the restoration effort. only if you are French, lived in france or understand the french psyche could you understand how profoundly this has affected French society. making cheap political shots based on your own prejudices is a little off-beam.
