I hope this will end well, even though LFI and PS are working against each other, it's so dumb.

The LFI candidate made any alliance impossible.

Chikirou spent her entire campaign attacking Hidalgo and Grégoire.

She even made campaign ads with pictures of Grégoire and Anne Hidalgo, blaming them for kids drowning and sexual assault cases in schools

"1 child drown. 52 children sexually abused. Their legacy"

Yes, but how is this about FuckCars?

You may have seen many photos of Paris in this community as a success example of urban transformation.

Under Mayor Hidalgo, many streets of Paris have been close to car traffic, making it so much greater to visit and enjoy by foot, bicycle and public transpots.

Candidate Dati stated she wants to undo all that. How and why she wants to do that is very unclear, she probably wants to restore Paris to its former glory of endless traffic jam and dog-poo on sidewalks.
