Wasn’t Hidalgo super pro bike and peds? Was there a term limit or did she lose election to him?
She said in 24 she wouldn’t seek a third, I couldn’t find a reason besides vaguely implying “out of respect to the Parisians”.
She probably just knew she was on shaky ground. I think she played that smart, it’s already pretty wild she got 2 terms seeing how mad some people were at her after the first one
I’m not sure if the people living in Paris were mad. It might be the people who commute that hated her anti-car politics.
On the other hand we are talking about a nation that wanted to put a highway interchange in the middle of Paris …
Lots of rich Parisians were and are still mad. Also taxis because closing some roads to motor vehicles hurt their little mafia
