FRENCH CONNECTIONS - Thurs. 18.02.16: This week, Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo caused quite a stir. She presented City Council with a controversial plan to change the capital’s administrative organisation. Currently, Paris has 20 arrondissements, or administrative districts, which spiral out of the centre like a snail’s shell. Hidalgo wants to smash the snail.
She wants to merge the first four arrondissements, Paris’s smallest and least populated, into one super arrondissement. The mayor says this will make Paris more democratic and efficient. Critics on the right accuse her of political and electoral manipulation. They say Hidalgo is trying to secure long-term Socialist domination by reducing the number of arrondissement mayors from centrist or conservative parties and turning Paris into a giant "bobo" paradise.

She had a rough time pronouncing Anne Hidalgo 😂
New York City has almost 9 million residents divided into five boroughs. Dividing Paris into 17 arrondissements doesn't seem unreasonable...unless of course it effects one then it can be a big deal.
But that's actually not how it works in New York. The five boroughs are no political entities when it comes to city politics. NYC is made up of 51 Council Districts.
Too bad, she didn't mentioned that Bobo originated from 1968 during the May 1968 event.
Elle a beaucoup de mal à dire Anne Hidalgo haha
Pourquoi?
This is a very interesting topic about Paris. I never had known of this interesting aspect. Thank you.
Villeminot you’re brilliant
Je l'adore.
in Filipino, Bobo means 'stupid'.
I think a lot of french would get behind that filipino definition
Something she maybe didn't emphasized enough is the derogatory value of the word, people don't call themselves bobo the other call you one.
Same in Spanish
BoBo and Proud!
I have a question but am uncertain if it’s actually a viable topic for the show as I feel I’m rather the only one to not know the answer what I do know of France is very spasmodic at best and random; what I’ve learnt about modern day Paris in general is only through the TV show Miraculous and thus is open for a great deal of interpretations, it too never answers the question merely uses the terminology. My question is why are French people referred to as Persians (forgive me if I have the spelling incorrect)…clearly it’s an aspect of their history and might seem quite simple to others, however not to me. I’ve yet to find an answer to the question and I reside in the latter isles of AUS so anything French here is practically nonextant. Researching in my city of even our own history is difficult others are just impossible. Could you possibly answer this long nagging lack of understanding I have….other than that, I really liked this video, the approachable way to the language was encouraging and easier to grasp than other mixed language segments about the country I’ve seen. She’d make a lovely French tutor.
Is it a joke about the poor accent of that french girl ? "Parisiens" are the people living in Paris or the people born in Paris. Depends on the context.
Go the other way, more, smaller arrondissements
I clicked this thinking it would be about escargot...
LMAOOO
Guatemala City is designed in a similar fashion. It has “zones”.
looks like typical gerrymandering attempt
Gerrymandering is the first thing that came to my mind.
I agree and she got reelected. Now some people think she should run for the upcoming presidential election when she was not even born in France but moved to Lyon from Spain at the age of 14 or so. lol
If you want to smash the snail change the french attitude and work ethic.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Probably be more reasonable to suggest that non-French (meaning primarily anglophones) change their attitude and work ethic. This is what makes France, well French.
@@rogerhwerner6997 True like the italians and how everything closes in the afternoon.
It's a culture and traditional thing.
Hence the saying when in Rome.
But when working in other countries the work and social culture should be adhered to as close as reasonably possible.
😉😉😉😉😈😈😈😈
@@markjmaxwell9819, I've worked and traveled to some 28 countries and there's just no explanning ethno-national traditions. They are what they are. I thi k it helps create uniqueness and identity. Naturally, some would prefer homogeneity but I'm old enough to hope that I'll never see it.
@@rogerhwerner6997 True I'm not taking anything away from anyone's culture.
But sometimes it is taken to extremes like woman having to wear full face coverings.
And stoning some one.
😉😉😉😉
minecraft is epic
Gary ?
escargot=Paris?
"Escargot" means "snail" in French and yes, it refers to Paris due to its specific shape.
If it ain’t broke don’t fix it! Lol!
