The candidate LREM to the mayor of Paris Benjamin Griveaux promises, if elected, to "suspend all work until the end of 2020", in an interview Tuesday at the daily Le Parisien.
Asked about the number of building sites in Paris, become a real theme of campaign and tension a few months of municipal, "Benjamin Griveaux believes that" Parisians have enough ".
"So I make a simple proposition: if I am elected mayor of Paris, I will impose a moratorium on the work", explains the candidate of the presidential majority.
Benjamin Griveaux proposes "to suspend the work until the end of 2020. There will be no new construction site, excluding safety sites," he says.
He wants to use this period to bring together the operators of the city, the concessionaires, the associations of residents, traders and inhabitants who are exhausted to work smarter.Six months of calm, the Parisians have it well deserved".
He underlines that even if only 7% of the works are done by the City of Paris, as the team of the socialist mayor Anne Hidalgo regularly reminds, "100% of the works were authorized by the mayor of Paris!"
Asked about real estate prices that have soared in Paris and now reach more than 10,000 euros per m2, the LREM candidate still tackles the mayor of Paris, accusing him of having made "dogmatism", putting "everything" on social housing.
If he says he is not "against social housing", he believes that "we can not concentrate all public resources on it, so I am putting the emphasis on intermediate housing".
