There was no suspense.
Everything starts a debate on the terms to be used: exclusion, indentation.
This Thursday morning, during a videoconference meeting piloted by Rémi Féraud - the president of the Paris Socialists and the elected representatives of Paris jointly on the Council - a large majority of advisers voted in favor of Christophe Girard no longer being part of the municipal majority, at least officially.
A very political decision even as the name of Anne Hidalgo circulates with insistence to carry a candidacy on the left for the presidential election of 2022.
He takes note of the decision
"I am respectful of the decision of my socialist comrades and relatives to exclude me from Paris together because I am not resigning," Christophe Girard reacted immediately.
If even the PS and its allies, in full courageous renovation with Olivier Faure, trample the law, there is something to be worried about for the next electoral deadlines.

How is it conceivable that Anne Hidalgo and the breasts keep Christophe Girard in his majority?
If he is not concerned by justice in the context of the Matzneff affair, this writer accused of rape by Vanessa Springora, but also in the context of a possible sexual intercourse with a young Tunisian of 15 years old, the facts are prescribed, his presence in common Paris would have been a stone in the shoe of the mayor (PS).
Especially since his environmental allies did not intend to release the pressure to demand his departure.
With this context of fight against sexual violence and the emergence of #Metoo, Christophe Girard necessarily found himself isolated.
Today, he even appears as an outcast.
The end of his political career?
If he made his return to the 18th district council last week, the question is whether he will be present next Tuesday at the Paris Council but as elected without a label or whether he will prefer to give up his mandate and resign. .
In any case, this banishment marks the end of a political course started within the Greens and then among the Socialists.
The time when her marriage was celebrated by Anne Hidalgo with Bertrand Delanoë and Mazarine Pingeot as a witness now seems far away.
