The parity law requires that there be as many men as women on a municipal council. But does this mean that both sides share the floor equitably? In Noisy-le-Sec (Seine-Saint-Denis), the answer is clearly no. During the last city council, last Thursday, the speaking time of elected officials was timed. Result: over three hours and forty minutes of session, the men monopolized 80% of the debates.
