PARIS — Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo will not seek a third term in office, the former Socialist presidential candidate said in an interview with Le Monde published on Tuesday.
Since becoming mayor of the French capital in 2014, Hidalgo has aggressively pushed through transformative policies to make Paris a greener city — an effort that also turned her into a divisive figure in French politics.
Hidalgo said she plans to throw her support behind Senator Rémi Féraud, a relative unknown.
The mayor said she plans to continue on in politics.
