The town hall of Blanc-Mesnil (Seine-Saint-Denis) is thinking of renaming the municipal park.
She would like to give him the name of Anne de kyiv, Ukrainian princess who married Henri Ier, king of France.
A way for the municipality to show its solidarity with the Ukrainian people during the war, explains
Le Parisien
.
A deliberation could be proposed at the next municipal council in June 2022. But the idea does not appeal to everyone, in particular the communist opposition group.
The city was ruled by the PCF until 2014.
A meaningful name
In question, the current name of the park, Jacques-Duclos.
This political leader was deputy then senator of Seine-Saint-Denis.
Candidate in the presidential election of 1969, he obtained more than 21% of the votes in the first round.
This is a record for the political party.
“We are more in the renaming of the Jacques-Duclos park than in the renaming of the Anne-de-kyiv park”, denounced Didier Mignot former PCF mayor of Blanc-Mesnil.
The idea does not appeal to all residents either.
Some would find it more useful to help Ukraine in other ways, notably through donations.
