Merci! Sign pasted over the rival candidate's panel 

In 2026 he won in the first round, with 51,52 %.

"In these troubled times, I do not forget
the values that unite us and notably fraternity.
Excellent and happy 2025!

The morning after the upheaval of October 17 2026, Jérôme Coumet gave a six-minute speech. After thanking the public for having come on only three hours' notice... 


He condemned "unacceptable abuses" by "hoodlums and looters," expressed his respect for the police of the 13th and criticized the demonstrators for a spreading out that made control impossible. 

Then he emphasized the legitimacy of their demands — "unsanitary high schools, lack of personnel, teachers who are not replaced and more broadly, worry about the future." 

He continued with "the Minister of the Interieur constantly rehashing accusations of the ultra-left and the left as a whole" without having listened to the mayors' suggestions after the Yellow Vest violence or answered the young peoples' demands. He said that the mayors would meet again and that he hoped that this time the government would listen.  

"Have the right to demonstrate in good conditions, make sure that law and order is  respected, that's the least one can demand. It's the message of this meeting. Thank you." 

Applause.

The upheaval elsewhere in Paris, elsewhere in the 13th, and in my neighborhood:

Sole damage: this entry to the Bachelard vocational high school, near the Choisy gate. But its cause was a fire in the street, not the wish to harm the school.

Kids look in on a puppet show while waiting for their mother. The only sound noise was children laughing.  


In this district
where social services are important, 
wreckage is accidental or absent.
