Safety and cleanliness are the " two priorities " of Agnès Buzyn for Paris, she said in an interview with the Journal du dimanche, also revealing new measures such as a " public service of home support " or " a green rule " for more vegetation in the districts.

Agnès Buzyn, LREM candidate for municipal elections since the abandonment of Benjamin Griveaux after the broadcasting of intimate videos, displays her social fiber by wishing to " tackle the challenge of the aging of the population ". " I will create a public home support service, which will centralize requests and work with all associations, " said the former Minister of Health.

To adapt the city to climate change, " another priority (s) ", the LREM candidate wants to establish " a green rule " which " will aim to preserve green spaces, plant more trees, create islands of greenery and one garden street per district ”. " All major projects in the city " will also be " submitted for advice to a scientific and citizen council ," she said.

But if she judges that it is " obviously necessary to go towards more public transport and more bikes ", she opposes Anne Hidalgo's promise to remove 60,000 parking spaces, which she sees as " the punitive ecology ”, and“ 100% cycling ”which“ excludes a large part of Parisians ”. It promises " a secure bicycle plan, more electric vehicles " and " a partnership with the Region to develop public transport ".

End of the "Central park"

In terms of cleanliness, it takes up the proposals of its predecessor: “ street managers ” in each district, the increase in the number of city officials on the ground, the collection of waste entrusted to the private sector, the responsibility of the cleanliness given to borough mayors. It also wants to “ double the share of recycled waste, which is only 20% ”.

In terms of security, which will be entrusted to its first assistant, it confirms that it wants a municipal police force equipped with lethal weapons. " At least one officer per patrol will carry a pedestrian camera ," she said.

Agnès Buzyn also confirms the abandonment of two flagship ideas of Benjamin Griveaux: moving the Gare de l'Est to create a Parisian " Central Park ", because " the urgency (is) not to embark on major works ”, and the proposal to offer 100,000 euros to Parisians for the purchase of an apartment, which presented“ an inflationary risk for real estate ”.

Anne Hidalgo (PS) tops voting intentions in the first round for municipal elections in Paris (24%), followed by LR Rachida Dati (22%) and Agnès Buzyn (19%), according to an Ifop poll Fiducial published Sunday in Le JDD.
