The first round of the Paris mayor election was today. And Emmanuel Gregoire came in first (34%); he is the successor to Hidalgo. There will be a runoff with him and Rachida Dati (26%) right-wing — who is explicitly running on undoing Hidalgo’s urbanist policy — and a macroniste and left wing candidate as well (they got more like 10-15% each).
So depending on who turns out second round and the vote share dynamics we will probably see more of this continuing :)

Crazy to vote for Rachida Dati when we all know she should be in jail.
