Harsh criticism for Emmanuel Macron served as mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, who is politically close to the socialists.
“Emmanuel Macron is obviously responsible for this mess,” complaining that the president acted “on a whim.”
For Ann Hidalgo, “the game is not over. “We must do everything in our power to prevent the RN from having a majority in the Assembly,” the Paris mayor told France 2 on Tuesday morning.
In his opinion, “the far right attacks women, minorities and foreigners. But they are also wreaking havoc on an ultra-liberal economy.”

Lockdown in RN
Ann Hidalgo therefore supports, like a large part of the left, the “withdrawal of third-place candidates to block the RN by Marine Le Pen. We have examples in Italy and Argentina,” he added. He therefore calls on citizens to vote for a candidate from the “moderate right or left.”
The mayor, however, persisted in her differences with Jean-Luc Mélenchon. “It’s not to my taste, I’m not in tune with what he defends,” but these differences “will be discussed after the elections.”
