Can you explain the €75’000 claim? The only articles I found about Hidalgo’s clothing expenses were by political groups and even they only acrused her of €10’000 of luxury clothes over 3 years, which is less than the permitted expenses, even if some think Paris’s mayor shouldn’t be wearing high fashion. Also, it seems surprisiing that the amount is the Paris postcode and that does make it difficult to search for.
It also seems rather small beer when opposition candidate Rachida Dati failed to declare €400’000 of gifts!
Hi. I just read the news like everyone else. Of course she was within her rights to spend money on luxury clothes and bags.
I feel like my comment has upset a few people. I am not cherry-picking like some right-wing car-heads tend to do. I live in France. I just wanted to state that Hidalgo is not without scandal.
In September, Mediapart (who do great work) published her expense claims from 2020 to 2024. It was reported by Libération and Le Point:
€75,050.65 for clothing (the mandated amount is €19,720) including 2 Dior dresses for over €6000.
€125,000 on trips
Dati… At some point Wikipedia will need to create a a separate page for her scandals!

Doesn’t seem that way to me at all
Ok. Thanks.
