title: OpenSpending visualisations featured in Le Monde
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
The OpenSpending platform experienced a huge peak in traffic earlier this week as a visualisation based on French data was featured in Le Monde.
|
|
|
|
[The article](http://www.lemonde.fr/politique/article/2012/10/16/plf-des-avions-au-bouclier-fiscal-la-java-des-amendements_1776093_823448.html?xtmc=depenses&xtcr=52) "PLF : des avions au bouclier fiscal, la java des amendements", (PLF=Projet de loi de finances, the draft finance law) deals with suggested amendments to the draft finance law and which parties were demanding what amendments.
|

|
The OpenSpending visualisation used in the article is intended to give a high-level representation of some of the main areas of government expenditure in France:

|
Besides the OpenSpending visualisation, there are some simple but effective infographics on how many amendments were filed to the draft, and by whom.
