I was one of the first, in the Council of Paris, to denounce this problem of cleanliness

", argued the DVD mayor of the 5th arrondissement, well aware of these questions for having chaired "

the only mission of information and 'evaluation that there has been on the subject'

. "

We made 45 proposals, none has been implemented by Madame Hidalgo,

"

she says

. "

Whenever there is a problem, the mayor of Paris regulates it, or pretends to solve it, by announcing more and more expenses,

”she points out, deploring the management methods of the municipal majority employed by Anne Hidalgo's team, which consist in "

always putting more intermediate hierarchical levels

".

Generally speaking, Florence Berthout judges that “

Anne Hidalgo is not a manager

”. When you are mayor, " 

you have to like managing the city

 ", according to the one who pleads pragmatism and good management, insisting that "

cleanliness is a matter of common sense and will

". "

The big gap, in terms of dirt, is objectively the mandate of Anne Hidalgo

", summarizes the city councilor of the 5th district, "

the city is dirtier, it has deteriorated

", she insists. If Florence Berthout concedes that there may have been in recent years

, "more solicitation

,

with more space to maintain and more people in the public space

", she maintains that for all that, "

the city has not stopped reducing resources since 2001

”.

"Cynical calculus"

How does the person intend to solve the problem?

By entrusting the competence of maintenance and cleanliness to the boroughs.

The Île-de-France councilor certifies that she has always campaigned in this direction,

"with one reservation: that we have, imperatively, a hierarchical and functional authority over the services and the means that go with it", she

clarified. .

However, Florence Berthout smells the poisoned gift, "

the cynical calculation

" of the majority in place.

"

Power without the means is the annoyances

", anticipates the city councilor, stressing that "

a quarter of the material means is permanently at a standstill

".

Finally, Florence Berthout also calls for the reopening of all the terraces, because “

today we have terraces which are literally rotting on their feet”.

Delegate the cleanliness of Paris to the arrondissements?
