If you follow a little bit France on news or Twitter, you will see that Paris is kind of an authoritarian city with a mayor that created in a few years a debt that no one had seen before.

Now, most normal people in France would have like the thing to be cancelled instead of having their taxes being wasted with that

Only one? Love your optimism.
