In full swing in the polls and fifteen days before the first round of the municipal elections, Rachida Dati, given in first place, continues her campaign on the same course: “I am not saying“ I won ”(…) I am on the ground every day. I am focused on my campaign and on what I offer to Parisians. That is all that interests me, " explains candidate LR for mayor of Paris, invited on Monday to" Talk Le Figaro ". With the primary objective of arriving in the lead on the evening of the first round, March 15.
"Given the indirect voting method, the useful vote and the alternative to Ms. Hidalgo is Rachida Dati and her candidates in Paris!" , insists candidate LR, "we, our program and our project we did in the proximity, in the knowledge of the stakes and also in the listening of the Parisians" , she adds to distinguish herself from her competitors of the PS and LREM Agnès Buzyn.

If, in certain districts, as in the 15th, the LR lists will have to face dissident candidacies, for Rachida Dati, there is not the stake . "Mr. Goujon had made an agreement with Mr. Griveaux, that doesn't interest me. M.Goujon, it's not my business. My business is the Parisians, " replies the candidate, convinced that the right can " mobilize " and " federate " . "What I want is that in all the districts, the Parisiennes and the Parisiens have the possibility of voting for me so that we can be the alternation with Mrs. Hidalgo. An alternation to change Paris ” , supports the mayor of the 7th arrondissement, notably targeting the financial management of the city.
"If I am elected mayor of Paris, I will do an audit by an independent body," warns Rachida Dati, "I will report to Parisians on the state of finances. And necessarily I will take arbitrations that will not be those of Ms. Hidalgo, because I will not be in continuity! ” , she claims. The candidate LR who denounces "plethora of collaborators" promises for example to "cut very sharply in all the offices of the executive" and to put the agents of the city of Paris "on the ground at the service of Parisians" .
Inspired by the policy of Rudolph Giuliani
In addition, candidate LR commits to helping the middle classes and families to stay in Paris by paying 1,200 euros at the birth of each new child. Candidate LR also wants to review the social housing policy "a failure of the current mandate" and "a financial mismanagement" . "Me, I have no contempt for Parisians, I want a balanced vision of housing," she says. “Social mix makes sense. Ms. Hidalgo did not mix, she did ghetto, " says Rachida Dati. On this issue as in security, the candidate was largely inspired by the policy led by the former mayor of New York, Rudolph Giuliani. If she is elected, the LR candidate therefore intends to set up an armed municipal police force and triple the number of cameras in the city. "It is not to monitor the Parisians, but to track down the delinquents" , she specifies, by targeting in particular the woods of Vincennes and Boulogne. Above all, the LR candidate wants to overhaul the mobility scheme and "submit it to Parisians" .
What Rachida Dati does is the beginning of a process of reconquest, listening and responsibility

"What Rachida Dati is doing is the beginning of a process of reconquest, listening and responsibility" , also wanted to believe François Baroin.
