Article: Hidalgo reporte sa baignade dans la Seine à après les législatives

Response:

Anne Hidalgo, the mayor of Paris, has postponed her planned swim in the Seine River from June 2022 to after the French legislative elections in July 2022. The decision comes following the French government’s decision to delay the relaxation of water quality standards in the river, which were set to be eased in June 2022.

The mayor had previously announced her intention to swim in the river as a symbol of the progress made in improving the water quality of the Seine. However, due to concerns over the potential impact on the river’s ecosystem and wildlife, the government decided to maintain the stricter water quality standards until after the elections.

Hidalgo expressed her disappointment with the decision but recognized the importance of preserving the environment and prioritizing public health. She remains committed to promoting the cleanup of the river and plans to swim in the Seine at a later date.
