The city of Paris soon under supervision to avoid bankruptcy.
In 2001 the city of Paris had no debt.
None.
The city was run by the right.
Not that the right always manages well, but in Paris, the accounts were well kept.
From the arrival of Bertrand Delanoë to Hidalgo there has been great mismanagement and spending frenzy in the services of the city of Paris, with not only largely financed expenses but also the creation of almost 10 billion euros in debt.
At this level, it’s great art.
The finances of the city of Paris were impossible to “plant”, and yet Hidalgo achieved the impossible.
The impossible and also the unthinkable.
Not only is the city almost bankrupt and indeed deserves to be put under guardianship, but in addition, daily life there is deteriorating year after year.
Aberrant work, delinquency, drugs, violence…
A “success” worthy of the best “successes” of “woke” cities in the United States, because it is in reality, let’s say it, much of this drift of which it is subject.
Social wokism, also budgetary wokism, wokism destroys everything it touches. All.
This is not progressivism but destructivism.
And then in Paris, we recruited people. Lots of people. It would be interesting for the Court of Auditors to look at the reality of the positions occupied and the actual time worked…

It is in this context that when asked about this in the Grand rendez-vous on Europe 1 and CNews, Clément Beaune revealed that “the financial situation is serious and is not linked to Covid, contrary to what Anne says. Hidalgo”. The scenario of a guardianship is therefore “not excluded”, continued the Minister of Transport. “For the capital, it’s very serious and I don’t want it, it would be a last resort,” he added, inviting the mayor of Paris to “take responsibility.”
Being elected at any level is not a license to do anything, to decide anything or to spend any way.
When one is elected, one must on the contrary be accountable both for the money spent and for the projects that one wishes to carry out.
Almost all the “zealous” speak of direct democracy, but few actually apply it, and above all, the authoritarian excesses of local elected officials who are too little “sanctionable” accumulate, pushing local finances towards the abyss of debt, debts, that the poor citizens that we are must pay well.
The nations like the communes are sold by wealth and always saved by the beggars that we are.
Poor us.
