The dirt of Paris, a stain on the presidential ambition of Hidalgo

2021-05-02T21:17:16.636Z


ANALYSIS - While the controversies multiply, the opponents of the socialist mayor believe that she is abandoning the capital to focus on her political future.


The equation is simple: if she wants to be able to run in the 2022 presidential election, Anne Hidalgo knows she must succeed in the capital. His mandate as mayor of Paris places him, in fact, much more in the spotlight than other contenders. This situation also confronts her with paradoxes that others do not have. In a position of strength within the socialist apparatus - no one doubts that she would make a good candidate - Anne Hidalgo finds herself at the same time politically weakened in Paris, undermined by the controversies of recent months. The last one came without warning in early April and never ends. It concerns the dirt in the capital. Thousands of photos are published on social networks to show the degradation of certain neighborhoods,all accompanied by a hashtag #SaccageParis.
