In France finalized the second round of the municipal elections: they will be held on Sunday, June 28. In Paris in the final round broke the current mayor Anne Hidalgo, the head of the seventh district of the capital and Rashida Dati, the former Minister of health Agnes Busan. Their chances of the main municipal post in the country says the correspondent of “Kommersant” in France Alexey Tarhanov.Anne Hidalgo age 61, in Paris it is politics for nearly two decades. Was the head of the district, city Councilor, Deputy mayor, socialist Bertrand Delanoe, replaced him when he was treated after the assassination attempt: in 2002, the immigrant Muslim stabbed the mayor with a knife, because “hated socialists and homosexuals.” She’s only 14 years became the Frenchwoman, her parents, Spanish immigrants who fled to France after the civil war. It is clear that Anne Hidalgo socialism was a conscious choice, and so far it is the Socialist party (PS), is not deceived, as many party members, the transition in presidential party “Go Republic!” (LREM), headed by Emmanuel Macron.Her opponent, the experienced politician, had thought all chances of success, but failed in the second round of voting, after her advisers reproached Mrs. Hidalgo Spanish roots and lack of sophistication. Voters then felt much closer to the Hidalgo Spanish than to French with distant Polish roots Kosciusko-Morizet.Photo: Christophe Ena / ARS since Ms. Hidalgo is ruled by capital. Now she’s criticized for being too close friendship with the builders (teasing the “bitesize”) and uncompromising struggle with motorists, which it displaces from the city’s high prices for Parking, narrowing and closing of streets, promotion of bicycles and scooters. And understand what it repels urban bourgeoisie: it costs nothing, for example, in the well-kept city Park to open centre for immigrants.The first Arab in the French government, the daughter of Moroccan and Algerian, it is right-wing “Republicans” (LR, ex-UMP), who are not averse to mark the return to power by taking the Paris city hall. Even supporters believe it is too conflicting, it reproved for his love of luxury, expensive clothes, eternal youth (she doesn’t look 54 years old), but nobody can say that this woman does not know how to fight.Mrs. Rashida Dati Hidalgo puts in a reproach to the lack of security, the cleanliness of the streets, the unavailability of housing due to high property prices and rent, many Parisians do not even hope ever to buy an apartment. She promises to make the capital useful primarily for those who live in it (and who will vote for it): “none of the Parisians are not happy Paris”. In the end, the politician ran a great campaign, coming in second place and received in print��PTO round 22,72% of votes at 29,33% Anne Hidalgo.Photo: Thomas Coex / AFPЕй played into the hands of the false start of the party Emmanuel Makron “Go Republic!”. The candidate from the ruling party Benjamin Hryvnia in February dropped out of the race after the filing of the Russian artist Peter Pavlensky immigrant was convicted of adultery. Instead, the battle for Paris was sent Mrs. Agnes Busan. The Minister of health in the government of Edouard Philippe, she was forced to pick up the campaign on the fly.Unlike Anne Hidalgo and rasida Dati, a 57-year-old lady Busin no experience in municipal politics. The daughter of an immigrant from Poland (her father is the only one in his family survived in Auschwitz) worked in healthcare as a doctor-a hematologist, Director of the Institute, and in 2017 in the government. It prevents the past as Minister of health she could, as many believe, it is better to prepare the country for the epidemic. After the first round Agnes Busan had the temerity to say that he was against beginning them in a difficult health situation, and even called the vote a “masquerade” — for the vain precaution. But during the quarantine she agreed to continue the political campaign as her rival, and the ordinary doctor went to deal with COVID-19 to a military hospital in Clamart.Photo: ludovic MARIN / AFPТаким manner, in the second round, which will take place on Sunday, with the power in the Paris city hall will compete three women of immigrant background. On Wednesday, they had to spend the last before the election debates on air of BFM. But the journalists went on strike against the management’s intention to reduce staff. Anne Hidalgo immediately canceled his visit, saying he always supported the workers. Rashida Dati, although he was very dissatisfied (“it is unclear why it is necessary to change everything because of one member”, gave its employees), but also agreed to postpone the broadcast. Agnes Busen supported the choice of rivals.The latest polls and so give her the championship. It is expected that Ms. Hidalgo will be able to collect in the second round, 45% of the votes against 34% at rasida Dati and 18% Mrs. Buzen. Lagging candidates could unite, but both categorically reject this possibility. Although supporters LREM can vote for the representative LR and themselves, without prompting, if it decides in whatever was to prevent the victory of the current mayor.
