Political career

In Paris, Anne Hidalgo was after thirteen years in political office, in its own estimation, relatively unknown. "I got myself my paved road, but so that the other me did not see it coming," Anne Hidalgo was the candidate of the Socialist Party on 18 Elected to the City Council of Paris in March 2001 and re-elected on March 16, 2008 as representative of the 15th arrondissement .

When the Parti Socialiste was in government from 1997 to 2002, Hidalgo worked as a consultant in various ministries, including in Martine Aubry's Ministry of Labor . After her election as Mayor of Paris, Bertrand Delanoë made her his closest confidante - “the two worked as a duo without a quarrel. No dissonance was ever made public. But the roles were always clearly assigned. "

After the Parti Socialiste won the election in 2001, she was appointed deputy mayor by Bertrand Delanoë and was responsible for gender equality policy in the city government; She was entrusted with a portfolio that was more subordinate in the public perception than deputy mayors usually take on.

In 2010 she headed the list of the Parti Socialiste for the regional elections in the Paris department. It was able to distance the Greens as a major opponent within the left-wing camp - who had been well ahead of the PS in the 2009 European elections - with 26.26 percent compared to 20.57 percent in the first ballot; the list of leftists it united won the second ballot clearly against the UMP.

For the elections at the end of March 2014, Anne Hidalgo was considered to be the most promising successor and “preferred candidate” of Bertrand Delanoë: “I'm not ashamed of our record, but Bertrand and I are really very different,” commented Hidalgo on the thirteen-year-long collaboration with her Mentor and sponsor. She announced her candidacy in September 2012 after Bertrand Delanoë announced that he would not stand again. She was the only candidate to be nominated by the PS as a candidate for the mayor's office of Paris with 98.3 percent. Her main opponent in the election was Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet ( UMP ).
