Vincent Trémolet de Villers argues in Le Figaro that the right in Paris must unite to challenge the dominance of the left in the city, notably backed by Rachida Dati.
In his editorial, Vincent Trémolet de Villers emphasizes the necessity for the right-wing factions in Paris to set aside past grievances and unite behind Rachida Dati to offer an effective alternative to the long-standing leftist governance. He questions the assumption that Paris, along with public broadcasting, must inherently align with leftist ideologies, arguing that this perspective is more of a dogmatic belief held by the left than a universal truth.
Trémolet de Villers critiques the socialist ideology that considers their political achievements as permanent gains, asserting that the left has staked a claim over the city while ignoring the needs and concerns of the local populace. He points out that after years of leftist rule, the city's condition has deteriorated, highlighting that families are leaving Paris and the once-vibrant city is now perceived as ruined by its current leadership.
As the left reaches what he describes as a point of exhaustion after four terms in power, Trémolet de Villers urges the right not to remain passive spectators but to actively engage in reclaiming the political landscape in Paris. He envisions a movement that counters the prevailing leftist narrative and seeks to rejuvenate the spirit of victory and governance on the right, potentially paving the way for significant political change in the capital.
