Emmanuel Grégoire

Emmanuel Grégoire, the new socialist Mayor of Paris, has made addressing violence in after-school programs (périscolaire) an absolute priority of his early mandate. In response to a wave of child abuse cases and professional protests, the Paris Council, under his leadership, adopted a €20 million action plan on April 14, 2026. This plan includes a simplified reporting system, "sensitive" space redesigns, and a "périscolaire school" for animator professionalization. Grégoire also seeks a mandate to discuss the potential sale of the Parc des Princes stadium to Paris Saint-Germain, aiming to conclude negotiations by summer's end. His actions highlight his immediate focus on critical urban issues and public safety within Paris.
