The violence and bad faith of the #saccageparis movement have deprived a whole section of the Parisian population of the small pleasure of criticizing the management of the city, the price of parking scooters or the reproduction of the rats on avenue Gabriel, under penalty of to be associated with primary anti-Hidalgo, which would be a shame, especially for those who feel more like secondary anti-Hidalgo.
