À Paris, Emmanuel Grégoire supprime le poste d'adjoint au patrimoine
The newly elected Mayor of Paris, Emmanuel Grégoire, has unveiled a leadership team consisting of 36 deputy mayors covering a vast array of specific portfolios, ranging from nightlife and overseas territories to animal welfare and free media. Notably absent from this extensive list is a dedicated deputy for heritage (patrimoine), a move that marks a significant shift in the city's administrative priorities.
This omission is particularly controversial given Paris's status as a global capital of historical architecture and culture. By subsuming heritage under other departments or eliminating it as a standalone senior role, the new administration faces criticism for potentially devaluing the preservation of the city's physical history in favor of more contemporary social and political causes.
