Anne Hidalgo, mayor of Paris - PATRICK GELY / SIPA

Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo will offer free public transport for those under 18 in Paris if she is re-elected in March, her first deputy Emmanuel Grégoire announced in the Journal du Dimanche .

“One of the great markers of the mandate is the change of paradigm on mobility. This is why Anne Hidalgo will announce the extension of free public transport for all Parisians under the age of 18, ”he told the weekly.

A new system with Ile-de-France Mobilités

"This measure, which we have worked with the Parisian communists, will be implemented in the coming months if the Parisians decide to continue with us", he continued, adding that this proposal would consist of "a Navigo card free, without advance to pay ”.

"We are going to look for a new system with Ile-de-France Mobilités", the organizing authority for transport in the region, added Emmanuel Grégoire, promising other "strong announcements" in the field of transport.

Zero waste organization on the table

If Anne Hidalgo is not currently applying for re-election, Emmanuel Grégoire has already been appointed to lead his campaign. "We are planning everything in advance so that Anne Hidalgo can be an official candidate in mid-January," he said.

"Everyone has understood that there is not much suspense, and that she is focused on her mission as mayor for as long as possible," continued his first deputy. Among the proposals that Anne Hidalgo should decline, the creation of a “sort of agricultural cooperative to secure supply” upstream of school canteens. And "downstream, the organization of zero waste, in partnership with community players," said Emmanuel Grégoire.

Little pike to environmentalists

While taking for "certain and necessary" an alliance with the EELV candidate David Belliard between the two towers, Emmanuel Grégoire sent a pike to environmentalists on their "resistance to construction" of housing.

"I see in it the convergence of a pseudo-ecological conservatism which ultimately consists in plunging the city into formalin and a reactionary anti-social housing conservatism", he creaked. "If we applied everything they proposed, Paris would become a city of the ultra-rich, hyper-gentrified," he added.
