French parliamentary enquiry into Cahuzac affair collapses over refusal to quiz PM 25 JUILLET 2013 | PAR LÉNAÏG BREDOUX ET STÉPHANE ALLIÈS The French parliament’s commission of enquiry into the government’s handling of the Jérôme Cahuzac affair – the budget minister who held a secret foreign bank account - was close to implosion Thursday after its sitting conservative MPs decided to suspend their participation. They are furious that socialist commission members blocked a move to summon Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault to testify before it over a contested meeting in January between Cahuzac, Ayrault, President François Hollande and finance minister Pierre Moscovici. Lénaïg Bredoux and Stéphane Alliès report on the contradictory accounts that discredit the government’s claims of transparency over the affair.
