Faced with a debt that amounts to 7.7 billion euros today, the French capital could be put under guardianship by the State.
A "severe" scenario that gets closer every day, according to the Minister Delegate for Transport Clément Beaune, guest of the Grand rendez-vous on Sunday.
Should Paris be put under guardianship?
The debt of the capital, which was zero in 2001, has reached 7.7 billion euros today.
"There is a serious financial situation which is not, as Anne Hidalgo says, linked to Covid-19. The figures speak for themselves, the debt since the start of Madame Hidalgo's mandate in 2014 has doubled", declared Clément Beaune, Minister Delegate in charge of Transport, guest of the Grand rendez-vous on Sunday before specifying that the placing under supervision of Paris "is not excluded".

"An end of reign has set in"
"It's very serious, I don't want it because it would be an extremely negative last resort, I am attached to freedom, to the autonomy of local communities and I am attached to responsibility in politics, so that everyone assumes their actions. “, he supported.
"Today, Madame Hidalgo, to try to cope with this kind of snowball, of accumulating debts, says, breaking her last promise, 'I am going to increase the property tax of Parisians by 55% '. Well, let her say it and assume it, she announced it by press release, without any conference, we see that there is a kind of end of reign that has set in " , he decided on Europe 1.
