The standoff is officially launched between the government and the mayor of Paris. After Clément Beaune, the Minister of Transport, who considered his comments “shameful” about the problem of transport during the Olympic Games, it was Amélie Oudéa-Castéra who seriously attacked Anne Hidalgo this Sunday evening on the sidelines of the Étoiles du Sports, in Tignes (Savoie).
Guest of RTL in the program “On refait le sport”, organized in partnership and in the presence of “Parisien”, the Minister of Sports and the Olympic Games castigated the behavior of the elected official. “The sequence that just happened is quite heartbreaking,” she began. We saw the mayor of Paris playing politics behind the games. »
Wednesday evening, on the set of the show Quotidien, Anne Hidalgo mentioned “two things for which we are not going to be ready”, namely “transport” and “sheltering people without a fixed home”. “We are still in difficulty, already, in everyday transport, and we cannot manage to catch up with the level (…) of punctuality, of comfort for Parisians,” she noted.
This Sunday evening, the Minister of Sports even said she was ready to no longer count on Anne Hidalgo in the coming months. “We are going to be stronger than that,” she said. If we have to deliver the Games without her, and if we have to deliver them in spite of her, we will do it. » “What I found unacceptable is that she condemns teams who are struggling,” she added. If she had said we’re not ready yet, I wouldn’t have blamed her. But there, it discourages thousands of people. This is what is not acceptable at this time. »
Climate of tension at the last meeting of the Organizing Committee of the Games
Amélie Oudéa-Castéra assures her, she has “never had a problem with Anne Hidalgo”. “I work very well with his teams,” she assured. I have never disrespected him, the converse is not true. I want everyone who has something to bring to this Games equation to do so. If she’s not ready to do it, we’ll be stronger than that. »
The former general director of the French Tennis Federation also addressed the last meeting of the Organizing Committee of the Games, organized this Thursday and the outcome of which was revealed this morning in the columns of Sunday Newspaper. According to her, Anne Hidalgo “showed a rather improbable levity, arriving half an hour and leaving a quarter of an hour before the end, pretexting or saying that she had a wedding and that she could not do wait for the bride and groom when I was going to answer him what was going to be done on the subject of the homeless in Paris.” “She said that this subject concerned her but obviously the answer does not interest her,” finally tackled Amélie Oudéa-Castéra.
