It is one of the most beautiful offices in the Republic.
It is located on the first floor of the Hôtel de Ville in Paris.
The view is breathtaking on the Seine and Notre-Dame.
But on this morning of Monday, January 4, Anne Hidalgo's gaze does not linger on the monuments.
He is screwed on a target: Emmanuel Macron and his vaccine strategy against Covid-19.
The mayor of Paris, who gathered his political team, immediately launched: “It's amazing.
It cannot go on like this.
I didn't want to get into the controversy, but now it's getting too serious.
She then assigned her first deputy, Emmanuel Grégoire, to publicly curry the state and its head.
If Anne Hidalgo is furious, it is because she has, in recent weeks, proposed that the town hall rent two super freezers.
Categorical refusal of the ARS (regional health agency).
She also indicated that her district town halls could be used to vaccinate.
On this point, the ARS did not even consider it useful to respond.
Making all this known is not without ulterior motives.
The mayor of Paris is conscientiously building the conditions favorable to a candidacy in 2022. Where a Jean-Luc Mélenchon, a simple deputy, without means of action, is confined to the magisterium of speech, the mayor of the capital wants show that it knows how to act in a crisis, but that the State is preventing it.
Where some green elected officials have discredited themselves with nonsense about Christmas trees or the Tour de France, she wants to embody a green AND serious left, capable, for example, of managing a vaccination campaign.
In short, Anne Hidalgo knows it: with the challenge of the vaccine, Emmanuel Macron is playing for his re-election, neither more nor less.
The presidential campaign has started.
