Overview

• Anne Hidalgo said she is filing a complaint against X for “dénonciations calomnieuses,” denouncing what she calls a defamatory media campaign.
• Mediapart published expense records obtained by Transparence citoyenne after a legal battle, covering the mayor’s spending from 2020 to 2024.
• The documents detail roughly €210,000 in outlays, including about €84,200 for representation largely tied to clothing and around €125,000 for travel through late 2023.
• City Hall maintains the spending stayed within an annual envelope of about €20,000 and notes that an URSSAF review issued no observations on the process.
• Opposition figures condemned the purchases and trips, the watchdog’s founder acknowledged a €10,000 donation from Pierre‑Édouard Stérin, and ongoing inquiries such as a PNF probe provide the judicial backdrop.
