Anne Hidalgo's Expense Transparency Challenged in Council of State
Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo faces continued scrutiny as associations push for full disclosure of her 2020 expense records, citing concerns over public fund usage.
- Three Parisian associations have escalated their fight for transparency on Anne Hidalgo's 2020 expenses by filing a case with the Council of State.
- The groups allege that key documents, including Hidalgo's dining and travel expenses, remain undisclosed despite legal obligations to provide them.
- The city's debt reached €7 billion in 2020, prompting calls to scrutinize how public funds were managed during that period.
- A previous ruling by the administrative court in October 2024 deemed the city's partial disclosure sufficient, but associations argue it falls short of transparency standards.
- The Council of State could impose daily fines on the city if it rules in favor of the associations and the requested documents remain undisclosed.
