“We cannot be mayor and insurer”
From January 9, 2023, the City of Paris will launch its multi-risk home insurance for Parisian tenants of private or social housing and subject to means testing.
A device that disputes the Changer Paris group.
“We can't mix everything up, it's not serious, says Jean-Pierre Lecoq, mayor of the 6th arrondissement.
We know that you already have a lot of responsibilities.
What are you going to do with insurance?
It is not the function of a community to pay into the insurance market.
»
“Many Parisians are uninsured or poorly insured,” underlines Ian Brossat.
It is a question of allowing modest Parisians to be finally insured and to gain purchasing power for Parisians who often pay too expensive and poor quality home insurance.
It does not cost the City one euro.

This new coverage system could concern approximately 400,000 households.

What share of social housing in the 16th century?
With the rental of a building at 75 bis, rue d'Auteuil (16th century), the City of Paris, through its lessor Paris Habitat, wants to create 13 social housing units in a district which has 7% of them, indicates Ian Brossat.
“It is true that it is much more than at the beginning of the 2000s since in 2001, the 16th century had 1%.
With a little political will, we can get there.
This pre-emption with a small elevation will allow us to slightly increase the rate of social housing in the 16th century”, continues the deputy mayor in charge of housing.
According to Véronique Bucaille (Changer Paris), this development will create a heat island and represents an attack on the “Parisian suburban heritage”, comments the elected official.
“A disaster, she laments, and a policy that is not bearing fruit since 12,000 Parisians have fled the capital every year for ten years.

Arm wrestling over housing between left and right
According to Rudolph Garnier (Changer Paris), “the capitalized rents will now feed a policy of densification, of excessive concreting that you have been carrying out for years and against which we will remain fiercely opposed.
We don't consider the way you build Paris to be clean and green.

“Right-wing housing policy?
I don't see it, replies Émile Meunier (Les Ecologistes).
The share of public housing must be increased to 40% as a priority in the existing building.
We also need capitalized rents but as a mode of operation.
We want to transform offices into housing, ”continues the elected official.
Finally, “we are going to build, but construction must remain an exception because it costs ecologically and we don't have much room in Paris anymore.
So where ?
In the wide avenues in elevation and on the land development, ”concludes the elected ecologist.
“With your unbridled use of capitalized rents, quickly quickly quickly, it is the own part of the social landlords that you are undermining”, continues Anne Biraben (Changer Paris).

Social housing: elevators too often broken down?
The debates are now focusing on the renovation of social housing in the City of Paris.
Through this theme, Pierre-Yves Bournazel (Indépendants et Progressistes) deplores “the problem of elevator breakdowns and the lack of responsiveness of stakeholders” in the social park.
“I was still at Porte de Montmartre last week.
The elevator does not work.
This penalizes the elderly, people with disabilities, all inhabitants.
I ask the City to make landlords aware of major malfunctions in social housing residences, to include clauses in contracts binding lift operators to limit response times and provide for penalties.
There is a social urgency to act, ”concludes the elected official.

“This decree aims to prohibit the possession and consumption of nitrous oxide on public roads by minors.
It must be appropriate, proportionate and limited.

It must precisely target the neighborhoods or areas where use by minors has been observed, underlines Elise Lavielle, sub-prefect.

"Still no offer on the care of drug addicts"
“Today, we still do not have, despite the evacuations which took place in particular in the 19th century, an offer on the care of drug addicts who are dispersed in Paris and who reconnect with the historic districts of crack” , deplores Rudolph Granier (Changer Paris) who evokes the “failures” of the Plan Crack denounced, according to him, by the Regional Chamber of Accounts (CRC).
“Fake news is enough.
The CRC never said the Crack Plan was a failure.
She said that what he had provided was extremely useful accommodation and recommended that we go even further, ”replied Anne Souyris, deputy mayor of Paris in charge of public health.
And to add: “Yes, we lack an aftercare circuit, that is the state that must do it.
We need it, we've already talked about it, but it's not the alpha and omega of the Crack Plan.

Your questions, our answers
Hello, I am a Parisian with a disability, traveling in an electric wheelchair.
How is it that for 6 years, I can't make a trip to Paris without every 100 meters I'm confronted with a problem on the sidewalks?
Patrick.
D
Hello.
Indeed, according to the right, “there is still a long way to go before Paris becomes a truly inclusive city”.
In addition to the complicated circulation that you mention, the Changer Paris group estimates that barely 50% of establishments open to the public are accessible to people with disabilities.
In its initial budget voted on Tuesday, the City allocates a budget of nearly one billion euros (up compared to 2022) to the housing and urban development service, including road maintenance.

The City requests the suspension of gynecologist Émile Daraï
Indicted last November for "aggravated intentional violence", the gynecologist Émile Daraï was forbidden to receive patients in the private setting, but not in the public.
"There are 36 complaints of rape filed against the gynecologist who practices at the Tenon hospital (XXth), recalls Éric Pliez (Paris en Commun), mayor of the arrondissement.
Obviously, the continuation of consultations with this doctor constitutes a danger to the patients.
No argument justifies that this doctor can continue to practice in the public while justice has prohibited him from seeing patients in the private setting.
Our wish proposes that the City ask the AP-HP to suspend Émile Daraï at the Tenon hospital.
The wish was adopted.
