Agnes Buzyn campaigning in the streets of Paris, Thursday, February 20. - Jacques Witt / SIPA

Agnes Buzyn unveiled Sunday in the JDD its main proposals for municipal Paris. The candidate, who replaces Benjamin Griveaux, forced to give up after the dissemination of intimate videos, has taken up many proposals from his predecessor, particularly in terms of cleanliness and safety, his "two priorities". It also brought new measures, such as its desire to green the streets, and recalled two flagship ideas of Benjamin Griveaux: moving the Gare de l'Est to create a Parisian Central Park and the proposal to offer 100,000 euros to Parisians for the purchase of an apartment.

security

Agnès Buzyn confirms wanting a municipal police force equipped with lethal weapons, like "50% of municipal police forces". This requires training, and that it is “police officers who know their neighborhood,” she insists. "At least one officer per patrol will carry a pedestrian camera. We owe it to Parisians who are increasingly afraid for their safety. His first assistant will be responsible for security and tranquility.

Cleanliness

The candidate takes up the proposals of her predecessor: creation of "street managers" in each district, increase in the number of city agents on the ground "mobilized in the dirtiest areas, determined in consultation with the mayors of the boroughs and citizens ”, the collection of waste entrusted entirely to the private sector, and“ responsibility for cleanliness ”given to borough mayors. It also wants to “double the share of recycled waste, which is only 20%”.

Environment

The LREM candidate wants to "make the city's adaptation to climate change another of [her] main priorities", judging that "Paris is not prepared" for the heat wave. She wants to establish "a green rule" which "will aim to preserve green spaces, plant more trees, create islands of greenery and one garden street per district". It wants to submit "for opinion" all major projects in the city to a scientific and citizen council, "which will judge the ecological quality of each of them".

Social

Agnes Buzyn wants to "tackle the challenge of an aging population". Faced with the difficulties encountered by the elderly who want to stay at home, the former Minister of Health wants to create "a public service for home care, which will centralize requests and work with all associations".

transport network

The LREM candidate judges that "it is obviously necessary to go towards more public transport and more cycling". It provides for “a secure bicycle plan”, “more electric vehicles” and “a partnership with the Region to develop public transport”. But she opposes Anne Hidalgo's promise to remove 60,000 parking spaces, because "it's punitive ecology", and refuses the "100% bike" which "excludes a large part of Parisians: women pregnant, elderly, sick or disabled ”.

Housing

The former Minister of Health wants "to put on the market at least 20,000 vacant homes, out of the more than 100,000 existing, during the mandate", "by guaranteeing the payment of rents and by simplifying the procedures for owners" . "Similar schemes exist, but do not provide enough incentives," she says. As for social housing, she wants "to make it available to people who work in the service of Parisians," she said, judging that "this is insufficiently the case" currently for nurses or nursing assistants.
