"You have chosen hope," says Anne Hidalgo, moved with emotion, this Sunday evening on the forecourt of the Town Hall, surrounded by her supporters, close and faithful among the faithful. The audience applauds and chants "bravo Hidalgo". An hour before in the salons of the town hall, while the first figures and estimates are struggling to fall, the broad smiles are already displayed on the faces of his assistants: Ian Brossat or even Jean-François Martins. At 9 p.m., the joy begins to explode in the corridors.

The results in Paris

The list led by the outgoing mayor, Anne Hidalgo (PS) obtained nearly 48% of the votes before that of the candidate LR Rachida Dati (35.3%) and that of the candidate LREM, Agnès Buzyn (14.5%) . This last battered, also lost in the 17th arrondissement and even remains at the door of the Council of Paris. Anne Hidalgo wanted to have a word for her two rivals.

"I hope we can work together"

“Tonight, I want to salute Agnès Buzyn and Rachida Dati, who were able to campaign by defending their convictions. I hope that we will be able to work together, despite our differences, in the interest of Parisians, ”she says. Rémi Féraud, president of the socialist group at the Council of Paris, and one of the key men in the mandate of Anne Hidalgo in 2014, savor the moment by looking at all the progress made.

“I felt that this score would be high tonight. It is a great victory especially as it is very wide. We come back from afar. We have worked in recent years to go up the slope on issues and to understand the need to go further in ecology, "he smiles at 20 Minutes . And for good reason.

"We saw the resilience of Anne Hidalgo"

Building on the results of the first round and its green alliance formalized in early June with David Belliard, Anne Hidalgo, did not fail and thus geared up for a second term. She, who was still in difficulty several months ago, when the Walkers had made the capital a mission land, has managed to stay the course. “We saw the resilience of Anne Hidalgo. Given a beaten a year ago, it waged a serious campaign, ”congratulated Jean-Louis Missika, co-director of his campaign , just before the second round, with  20 Minutes . “We come back from afar in terms of intensity of Hidalgo bashing. Let those who in recent years have spoken instead of Parisians revise their judgment and look ahead rather than in the retro, ”continues Rémi Féraud.

She will now be officially elected on Friday July 3 during a vote at the Paris Council, before embarking on a new six-year term, which should be, as she promised, even "greener" than the previous one in a context of post-covid social and economic crisis, however. This mandate will also be that of a historic event: the 2024 Olympic Games.
