Paris Mayor: overseas visitors should not be worried by rise of French far-right
PARIS (Reuters) – Visitors from overseas travelling to Paris for next month’s Olympic Games should not be worried by the rise of the French far-right National Rally (RN) party, now leading in polls for a parliamentary election, said the Paris Mayor on Wednesday.
“As the far-right is at the gates of power ahead of the Olympic Ganes, I want to tell our friends from abroad who are worried that Paris is a place where we will continue to breathe democracy,” said Mayor Anne Hidalgo.
