PARIS - Emmanuel Macron’s bid to control Paris City Hall plunged into uncertainty on Wednesday after ruling party lawmaker Cedric Villani said he would challenge the president’s own candidate - a rebellious act akin to his own rise to power in 2017.
Six months away from the March municipal elections, his move clouds Macron’s prospects for conquering the French capital to build a local power base for his party and make inroads into the last bastion of the old establishment dominated by socialists or conservatives: 35,000 town halls nationwide. Voter surveys show Villani and Griveaux each winning 25% percent in Paris if one of them dropped out beforehand, ahead of Socialist incumbent Anne Hidalgo, but splitting 25% if they both run. The latter scenario could help Hidalgo win re-election, despite her own unpopularity due to the congested streets and polluted air of Paris. “It’s all very confused but I can’t say that saddens us,” Hidalgo deputy Emmanuel Gregoire told Reuters.
“Cedric is a mathematician, but he should be more calculating. Division leads to failure. Unity means victory,” Richard Ferrand, a member of Macron’s political guard and the head of the lower house of parliament, said last week.Instantly recognizable for his ascot neckties and spider brooches, Villani in 2010 won the maths equivalent to the Nobel Prize, the Fields Medal, for what the award called “proofs of nonlinear Landau damping and convergence to equilibrium of the Boltzmann equation”.
