The deputy mayor in charge of culture stands out because of her “connections” with the writer Gabriel Matzneff, under investigation for the rape of minors.
This is a controversy that is already dividing most of Paris, just weeks after winning the Paris municipal elections. And so far, socialists and environmentalists have camped each in their own place.
