This is huge
The right-wing candidate who said “stop the war on cars” was defeated.
The leftist who said “My goal is to make sure Grégoire loses” was defeated
Time to start the war on cars ☺️
“The leftist who said “My goal is to make sure Grégoire loses” was defeated”
why do we have these
there’s another way to phrase “I am going to lose and I want Greg to lose and Donklus is the only other person running”
glad she didn’t “save Palestine” though gj to the percent of Paris that did the not dumb thing
In Italy is the same and it’s one of the reasons we’re getting fascists elected everywhere
why do we have these
It’s the LFI, it’s leftists who don’t play along well with other leftists (along with some other problematic traits).
If you consider the french socialists to be left then… Idk. Maybe you need to curate more what your information sources are.
Does anybody know if the 38.5% who abstained were people who went to the polls and checked a box to abstain, or if they’re just counting the number of eligible voters vs. the number of votes cast?
Abstention is people registered on the voters list that didn’t turn up to vote. Blanc are people that turn up to cast a null vote.
Thanks, that’s helpful.
Oooh yeah París about to get quadruple pedestrianized. Bravo París, j’en suis fière
Moi, j’en suis jealoux!
Haha vous avez raison, salut d’Ontario
Hi from Georgia!
(LOL, bet you thought I was from Montreal or something, didn’t you? I’ve been learning French because I want to be in places that speak it, not because I’m from a place that speaks it.)
bet you thought I was from Montreal or something
Because of the typo in jaloux ?
Hahaha oui c’est vrai, mais en fait le français est ma troisième langue aussi
My take is that billionaires and large companies don’t put as much money (proportionally) in municipal elections as they do in country elections. When real people vote, you get Gregoire or Mamdani.
It’s wayyyy too close either way.
HOORAY! (Not a Frenchman, just someone who likes alternatives to cars anywhere)
Sounds like something a Frenchman would say…
Merde alors.
Having seen traffic in Paris, I’d say it’s already anti-car.
I think I read that the pro-car candidate in second place there was wanting to change that. Edit: Oh, or do you mean that there’s still too much cars around that they all get stuck in traffic? Yeah I can imagine.
Since when are the socialists not the leftists?
At least as far as François Hollande’s presidency.
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
Bouá
