Those articles detail the controversy in Frédérique Perler’s department in Geneva, with a focus on allegations of nepotism and questionable hiring practices.
A co-director of the department, who is also Perler’s half-sister, is accused of hiring her own half-sister and a couple from Paris without proper transparency. The Parisian urban planner and her partner were recruited under dubious circumstances, including the use of a false address to circumvent residency requirements for city employment.
Further complicating the issue, it was revealed that the male Parisian partner, despite receiving a negative evaluation from human resources and performing poorly in recruitment tests compared to a local Genevan candidate who scored higher, was still hired.
This decision has sparked significant backlash and raised questions about the integrity of the hiring process.
Local media reports that despite these concerns, Perler defended the recruitment decisions by insisting all hires were based on qualifications and has reiterated her trust in her co-director.
the Geneva City Council decided to suspend the co-director responsible for the dubious hires and to terminate the contracts of the individuals involved.(except Frédérique Perler off course as she is a elected minister)
By the way the situation first came to light due to investigative reporting by Léman Bleu, which contrasted the typical initial silence from RTS.

Is this a surprise? It involves Geneva and French people.

Good old green party, green because they love money…
I understand that Geneva is in France, but Paris is a whole different country. Quite a scandal.
