Can a minister hold more than €300,000 worth of shares in companies related to her own sector? Appointed in September 2024 as Secretary of State for Artificial Intelligence and Digital Affairs in the Barnier government, then promoted in December of the same year to Minister Delegate for Artificial Intelligence and Digital Affairs in the Bayrou government, Clara Chappaz declared a generous share portfolio to the HATVP (High Authority for Transparency in Public Life) on April 28 .
The life insurance policy worth more than 1 million euros includes 630,000 euros of various investments in companies, to which is added a direct investment in two unlisted companies for an amount of 210,000 euros.
