Dear readers,
The mayor of Paris, who is so often criticized, mocked, mocked, who brought the PS to the ground in the last presidential election with 1.7% of the vote, who generally makes people cry more than laugh, could become a world star in space a dip in the Seine, where the triathlon events are to take place. Nice publicity stunt, great audacity, nice initiative to make the Paris Games finally popular in France. To make fun of all the “hard to enjoy”, says the mayor, who spit on the Olympics morning, noon and evening, she will therefore take off the top and bottom. The opportunity for her also to launch her campaign for her re-election as head of the capital in 2026?
Anne Hidalgo should take the plunge in the company of the Paris police prefect, Laurent Nunez, and the prefect of the Ile-de-France region, Marc Guillaume. The photo of the three together will undoubtedly go around the world. And if Emmanuel Macron joins the trio, it will be the event of the century… Thirty years later, he would realize Jacques Chirac’s never-kept promise!

Until then, a prefectural decree must be issued because swimming has been prohibited in the Seine since 1923.
