Emmanuel Grégoire Announces Bid for Paris Mayoral Race

The former deputy of Anne Hidalgo seeks to unify and transform Paris as he steps into the 2026 municipal elections.

Emmanuel Grégoire, previously Anne Hidalgo's deputy, has declared his candidacy for the 2026 Paris mayoral election.
Grégoire aims to position himself as the 'mayor of reconciliation,' focusing on public tranquility, cleanliness, and social justice.
He has garnered support from 450 Parisian socialist militants, despite strained relations with Hidalgo over political alliances.
