No need to wait for the first round. Anne Hidalgo (Socialist Party, PS) has little chance of entering the Elysee. Anticipating his return to the Town Hall after a disaster campaign, its ecologist allies in Paris already shrugged. Faced with a weakened mayor, they project themselves in the rest of the mandate and want to weigh more on the policy. Witness, their ten “alert points” on urban planning, presented on Monday, March 28 at an exceptional press conference, the first outfit outside the city hall from the municipal.
“It’s time to move forward, show that beyond the beautiful statements we hold the pledges of Paris on which we have been elected,” says Emile Meunier, one of the members of Europe Ecology-the Greens (EELV) at the Paris Council. In their eyes, the socialists who dominate the municipal majority do not go fast enough or far enough. In particular on urban planning, sensitive file between all.
On the occasion of the revision of the Local Urban Plan, the Town Hall presented its first ideas on the subject. “Unfortunately, the preliminary draft does not reflect sufficient ambition in the field of ecology, preservation of health and adaptation to climate change,” judge environmentalists. For them, we have to abandon the towers, cap 37 meters the new buildings, “strongly limit” the construction of private offices and housing, prohibit the buildings over the device and the Seine, multiply the spaces of full earth, protect trees, etc. More radical measures than those envisaged by the Socialists.

No wave in the election campaign! But the ten “alert points” ecologists prove it: the calm is precarious. Of those who sometimes precede the storm. The presidential parenthesis closed, M me Hidalgo is awaited at the turn, by its allies as by its opponents.
All are aware of it: the bad score promised to the Mayor at the national level can only weaken it in Paris, especially if it confirms in its own city. “When we say that we work in the Hidalgo team, we already answer:” Condolences “, notes an elected. So, it will not improve. Can an unloveible mayor continue to manage effectively his municipality?
