But the newspaper claimed it was unable to track down anyone who had seen evidence of Penelope Fillon?s work. On a visit to Bordeaux, Fillon told reporters he was ?scandalised? by the Canard Encha?n? article, which he described as ?misogynistic?. At issue is what work Penelope Fillon did to earn a salary of sometimes about ?7,000 a month between the late 1990s and early 2010. Fillon told a television interviewer in November last year that his wife stayed at home in Sarthe while he worked as a lawmaker in Paris.
