The mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, has announced that she will not stand for re-election in the 2026 municipal elections.
Anne Hidalgo will not be a candidate for mayor of Paris in 2026. Some are delighted, others welcome her policy. “I will not run for a third term. It's a decision I made a long time ago“, she indicated in the columns of Le Monde. “I have always believed that two mandates were enough to bring about profound changes.” continued the mayor of Paris.
Changes which mainly concern motorists and cars with the pedestrianization of riverside lanes and the reduction of parking spaces in the name of the environment. The politics of the mayor of Paris divides, in particular with the decision to increase the property tax. It is also contested because of the debt of the capital, which exploded under his mandate, or even over the cleanliness of the city. On the left, there are already two contenders for his succession: his former first deputy Emmanuel Grégoire and senator Rémi Féraud, one of his loyalists.
