The announcement by the Paris city hall to make parking motorcycles and thermal scooters paying from 2022 is far from unanimous.

"Anne Hidalgo, with its toll and tax on two-wheelers, is in the process of social segregation and closing Paris", accused this Thursday Valérie Pécresse, ex-LR president of Ile-de-France , candidate for re-election.

The increase in parking prices for visitors "is a new toll, an urban toll which is being introduced by the mayor of Paris vis-à-vis commuters who will have to pay six euros an hour [for a car] ”, she denounced on Europe 1, three days before the first round of regional elections.

And to add: "It is the punitive ecology that I condemn because I fight against pollution but with a positive ecology which will help motorists to change cars.

I fight against pollution, not the car.

"

Social support measure

It also sees with the entry into force on June 1 of the Low Emission Zone in Greater Paris, inside the A86, prohibited to the most polluting vehicles, "another social segregation".

"The principle is good, the problem is that no accompanying social measure has been taken by the town hall of Paris or by anyone", she criticized, promising "aid of 6,000 euros so that motorists who live or work in the ZFE can change their car ”.
