“Good riddance”, “his record is a burden”… The opposition exults after the announcement of Anne Hidalgo’s departure from Paris town hall

The mayor of Paris Anne Hidalgo announced this Tuesday, November 26 that she will not be a candidate in 2026 for a third term. News that delights a large part of the opposition.

The National Rally, the Republican Right, the Modem… A large part of the opposition welcomed this Tuesday the departure of the PS mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, who announced in an interview with Le Monde that she will not be not a candidate in 2026 for a third term.

“Good riddance,” said National Rally deputy Jean-Philippe Tanguy on LCI, saying that “this city has become catastrophic, unmanageable, ingested, and above all completely isolated from the rest of France.”

Same story for Agnès Evren, senator LR, who gave a rather harsh assessment of Anne Hidalgo, comparing him to a “ball and chain”. “Let us be up to the task of building a project to break with a policy that has disfigured Paris, made its inhabitants flee and plunged the City into an abysmal debt,” she judged on X.

“Division. Even in his own camp. This is what Anne Hidalgo sowed throughout her mandate,” for her part blamed Maud Gatel, leader of the MoDem at the Paris Council.
