The government that fines itself, what does that mean?
It may sound strange, but in a sense this happens quite often. The government has to obey the law just like citizens and companies. And if she breaks the law, a fine can be imposed. Consider, for example, a ministry that does not adhere to an objection period and decides too late: then the ministry must pay a penalty. Or think of the municipal bus that is speeding and is being flashed. Then a ticket is issued at the town hall.
