ON THE JDD
If Anne Hidalgo will "decide in the coming weeks" if she will be a candidate for re-election at the mayor of Paris in 2020, she already announces several campaign proposals in an interview to the Journal du dimanche , on the occasion of the release of its free balance sheet "The place of possibilities".
Ban Airbnb in some neighborhoods?
Major theme of the upcoming municipal campaign, housing issues will be at the center of the debate. Anne Hidalgo defends her balance sheet, reminding that today Paris has "22% of social and family housing, or 550,000 people, both for the middle and popular classes," she pleads.
The city also announces that it wants to go further in the regulation of platforms like Airbnb. "I ask the state to let the mayors decide, that the government gives me the opportunity to act, and go, why not, until the prohibition of Airbnb in certain neighborhoods!", Launches -she.

"Protect is the role of the mayor"
In her book, the Mayor of Paris returns to the question of security. Anne Hidalgo explains to the JDD that "the problem of the protection of the population has taken new contours during my mandate after certain events that no one could have imagined", citing the terrorist attacks of 2015, the Seine floods or heat wave. "Protecting is the role of the mayor," she says.
"It is necessary that those who can do without their car do it"
For Paris to become "a city that breathes" in 2024, Anne Hidalgo recalls that the Paris Council unanimously voted for the end of diesel in 2024 and the end of thermal vehicles in 2030. The Mayor of Paris invited to continue the bike paths and if she admits that "there will always be cars", she said that "those who can do without it should do it".
Often attacked on the cleanliness of the city, Anne Hidalgo makes the link with the ecological question, indicating that "the first green gesture, it is not to throw anything on the ground". She defends once again its balance sheet, stressing according to her, that, compared to the previous mayors of Paris, she "will have been the one that has strengthened the means" on this subject. "In total, it's a budget of 600 million euros," she says. Anne Hidalgo also announces the need to "decentralize the organization of cleanliness to the borough councils."
