The boss of the MoDem, François Bayrou, attacked for having declared Sunday on RTL that earning € 4,000 a month was belonging to “the middle class”, wanted to respond to the salvo of critics by posting a video on Monday, on his Facebook account. He maintains his words from the day before, while specifying that he was not talking about an income for a single person, but for a household. “A couple of nurses at the hospital, together, they earn between 4,500 and 5,000 €. The average retirement of a teacher is € 2,600 per month and a couple of teachers retire, so they earn a little over € 5,000 per month. Can we claim that these nurses, these teachers, are rich? », He asked. “Obviously, it's stupid and even, in a way, insulting,” he said, thus attempting to extinguish the controversy.
