The EELV group at the mayor of Paris will ask the mayor Anne Hidalgo "
if she wishes to continue working with [them]
", announced the elected David Belliard on Sunday evening, in a new bout of tension within the municipal majority .
"
It is Anne Hidalgo who calls into question our place in the majority by questioning our relationship to the Republic
", denounces in an interview with
Liberation
the former Green candidate for municipal elections, by expressing her "
bruising
" against what he describes it as a “
personal insult
”.

In an interview this Saturday on BFMTV, Ms. Hidalgo had deemed "
shocking
" that some elected Greens did not vote on Tuesday for a place in the capital to bear the name of the beheaded teacher Samuel Paty.
The Parisian Greens had actually voted for this deliberation, after being surprised that it was taken so soon after the death of the professor, while the usual practice is that a period of five years elapses between the death of a person and the fact that his name is attributed to a place.
Confusion had also arisen due to a technical incident, which had counted 20 elected representatives from all the groups - including five EELV - among the non-voters.
As early as Saturday evening, the EELV group at the Paris Council described
Anne Hidalgo's comments as
“
fake news
”.
In the same interview, the mayor of Paris invites them to "
progress on issues including the Republic
", redoubling the anger of her partners.
"
We have not changed, we are on a line and values which are the same as those of 2014 and 2020
", commented this Sunday David Belliard to AFP: "
It is up to her to tell us if our values no longer correspond to him.
She has to tell us.

While Anne Hidalgo is increasingly cited as a possible candidate for the left at the Elysee Palace in 2022, David Belliard warns: "
Any candidacy which would be in a logic of division, which would not be in the camp of reason and the reality of the facts would be discredited
”.
The head of the municipal group of the Greens, Fatoumata Koné, is due to meet with Anne Hidalgo soon.
