Rachida Dati on campaign trail seeking to become mayor of Paris

SOUNDBITE (French) Rachida Dati, Paris Mayor candidate (conservative): "You know change is always healthy for democracy. At some point, teams are worn out, especially when the team in place that would be leaving is the same team (campaigning) with the radical left also included. We obviously want to change Paris; we will reorient priorities and change methods. Reorienting priorities means focusing on cleanliness, security, mobility, housing, as well as greening and ecology. Paris faces two risks: one related to flooding and soil artificialization, and another related to heatwaves. For example, Place de la République, in summer, even outside of heatwaves, has a ground temperature of 60 degrees (celsius). Therefore, we need to remove asphalt and replant open soil in large part of Paris, which is what we will do." 5. Various of Dati in food market, talking to vendors 6. SOUNDBITE (French) Rachida Dati, Paris Mayor candidate (conservative): “The Parisian left has divided residents from east to west, north to south. It has divided the mobility too: cyclists versus pedestrians, pedestrians versus scooters, scooters versus cars, and in particular public transport which no longer flows smoothly in its bus lanes. So if we organise this traffic policy with mobility in mind, everyone will find their lane.” 7. Various of Dati posing with supporters outside Batignolles food market 8. SOUNDBITE (French) Rachida Dati, Paris Mayor candidate (conservative): “We want organization. A city needs to be organized. A city, it's harmony. It’s like housing. You don't make a city with just social housing, otherwise it's a ghetto. Paris is not a ghetto city and we don't want that. We want a harmonious city where everyone finds their place. In housing, there must be social diversity and not ghettos. In mobility, there must be a mix of mobilities and not chaos." 9. Mid of Rachida Dati greeting supporter in car 10. SOUNDBITE (French) Rachida Dati, Paris Mayor candidate (conservative): (Answering question on her upcoming trial) "I am very serene about it. Our focus is March 15 (first round of the municipal elections). Everyone who is talking about this doesn't understand the procedure. There is no public money involved in this issue, it is a private matter because it was linked to a lawyer's contract, in my practice as a lawyer. I am very serene about it, which is why it is a little outrageous to exploit it as it has nothing to do with public management.” 11.

Dati talking to newlywed couple STORYLINE: Rachida Dati was on the campaign trail at one of the French capital’s bustling food markets as she seeks to become mayor of Paris. Dati resigned in February as culture minister to focus on this month’s municipal election. She is aiming to unseat the Socialists, who have controlled City Hall for 25 years. A conservative, Dati served as justice minister under former President Nicolas Sarkozy and, until last week, in the government of President Emmanuel Macron. The daughter of Moroccan and Algerian parents and one of 11 children, she has long stood out in French politics as a symbol of social mobility and diversity. Polls show a close race between her and socialist candidate Emmanuel Gregoire.
