Anne Hidalgo wanted to remove all suspicion:
"I am here in front of you, and I will go to the end!".
In difficulty in the polls, between 4 and 6%, the socialist candidate was counting on her first big meeting this Saturday in Lille to finally breathe life into her campaign.
To heat the room, the mayor of Paris could count on several tenors of the Socialist Party, including the mayor of Lille Martine Aubry or the former Prime Minister Bernard Cazeneuve.
“This support, I do not give it simply because Anne is the candidate of the PS.
I saw that she is a woman of heart and that she is a great lady, ”
he said.

"Equality of women and men at work"
“I represent what a lot of our opponents would like to silence. A woman, on the left, of foreign origin, deeply European. And I am proud !"
, began Anne Hidalgo. As expected, the socialist candidate focused her speech on
"social justice"
. On public services for example, the candidate promised that she would freeze
"the site closure policy
" and that she would lead "
a policy of human presence throughout the territory"
. The mayor of Paris has notably confirmed her desire to double the salaries of teachers, despite accusations of demagoguery.
"I believe it is possible, over the duration of a five-year term, to double the salary of all the people in contact with the students"
, she reaffirmed, proposing
"to begin with, to align at least the salary of new teachers on the salary of bac + 5"
.
Anne Hidalgo has also given herself as
"objective"
to obtain
"equality of women and men at work"
.
“I am committed to ensuring that a social programming law will be voted in the summer of 2022, in order to achieve total equality of wages in five years.
This will be our first measure, our first law, ”
she explained.
The Socialist wants to make this principle of equality between women and men a
"compass
" for "
all appointments, all appointments within the executive, as in the administration
.

"Ecology of solutions"
Often presented as in competition with the ecologist Yannick Jadot, Anne Hidalgo assured that she would be
"candidate of the ecology of solutions"
.
"I want to say it here in all sincerity: this fight for the environment must not divide us"
, she asked for the attention of the other candidates.
The Socialist defends - like Yannick Jadot - the idea of a
"climate ISF"
which
"will weigh on wealthy households whose heritage emits the most carbon"
.
The councilor was also counting on this meeting to reassure the Socialist troops while the concern mounts internally, and that the hypothesis of a "plan B" begins to flourish.
"You see, I am ready, we are ready!
I appeal to those who want change: Come!
Engage yourself!
Join us!"
, she said.
Enough to remove doubts?
The polls over the next few weeks will undoubtedly be decisive.
