Anne Hidalgo (PS) did not hesitate for a single second this Wednesday morning when Jean-Jacques Bourdin, on RMC, asked her if she was in favor of the closure of schools in Paris.
It was a frank "yes".
A more definitive answer may be given this evening by President Emmanuel Macron.
As for the consequences for the working parents?
The mayor wants to rely on teleworking.
The consequences for businesses?
"It will be a blow still very very hard for the economy", she admits but the urgency of the situation requires it according to the mayor of Paris.
The elected representative also took advantage of the microphone to tackle the LR mayors of the capital who demanded to be able to vaccinate the teaching staff themselves.
“Sleeve effects (...) Madame Dati has also been called to order by the ARS.
She wants to vaccinate but she does not have the doses, ”asserts Anne Hidalgo.
More and more presidential candidate
So slowly but surely the mayor came to the political arena.
That of his "best enemy" Emmanuel Macron.
The postponement of regional and departmental elections?
“If there is a risk for the population, they must be postponed, but not indefinitely.
For that, we need a public debate with the national representation.
But you have to be pragmatic.
"And the presidential election and its tour of France of cities to introduce itself to the French and destroy its image, perhaps very Parisian.
Anne Hidalgo believes that she has "this ability to unite".
By launching the common ideas platform, it emphasizes having mayors at the heart of its action.
From his reflection.
If this is not the gesture of a presidential candidate who wishes to attach the favors of the preferred elected officials of the French that looks very much like it.
"Mayors, they are confronted on a daily basis and they also have the capacity to bring global solutions", she explains.
So when will she announce that she is embarking on the race for the Elysee?
In the fall because before Anne Hidalgo will "unite, bring together and work" because she wants to propose "a social policy offer" with ecology while refusing the slightest participation in a primary.
Audrey Pulvar cropped?
As for the controversy that fed social networks on the statements of its candidate for regional elections, Audrey Pulvar, Anne Hidalgo did not hesitate to explain that she had discussed - reframed?
- his assistant.
“If a white woman, a white man, etc. come to this workshop, I would tend to say that there is no question of throwing him out.
On the other hand, we can ask him to be silent, ask him to be a silent spectator, ”said the former journalist.
“I wouldn't have said the same thing,” she says.
But I no longer participate in his runaway and outpouring of hatred in 280 signs (Editor's note: on Twitter) to explain myself.
It is a deleterious situation for democracy.
(...) I do not think that Audrey Pulvar is part of the indigenist and fractured left.
"
A thought for the victims of Treviso
Anne Hidalgo concludes by evoking a very sensitive issue, that of the gas explosion in the rue de Trévise which killed four people in 2019. For months, the victims have been standing up to the mayor, the lack of transparency when the network of gas in the capital and especially the absence of any compensation from the City.
“There is a lack of legislation.
I'm pushing for this and I think we'll get there.
I receive the victims and I express my affection to them.
“Words that will not be enough to calm the anger of associations.
