THE first female mayor of Paris has taken office, hailing a “great advance for all women” and saying she feels the weight of responsibility in her new job.
Anne Hidalgo donned the red, white and blue mayoral sash yesterday, after a City Hall vote enshrining her victory in the capital as part of municipal elections on March 30.
Hidalgo noted on France’s TF1 television that few women were mayors of major world cities, but her victory shows “no citadel is impregnable for women.”
The Spanish-born 54-year-old takes over from fellow Socialist Bernard Delanoe.
