“It’s a sequence poorly managed from start to finish and which will leave its mark,” summarizes a Parisian ecologist, still stunned by the “Tahitigate” series by Anne Hidalgo, which will inevitably be mentioned this Tuesday during the Paris Council . For three weeks, the mayor of Paris found herself in the eye of the storm for a week-long official trip to New Caledonia and Tahiti followed by a two-week private vacation on a Polynesian island. A journey that was supposed to go unnoticed and whose details ended up coming out in bits and pieces. “It’s a complete failure,” admits a member of the Parisian executive. “It weakens the mayor” adds another.
