In spite of the worldwide turn toward conservative national governments from Lisbon to Moscow no doubt but also from Washington to Jerusalem to Delhi to Seoul, the new mayor of Paris, Monsieur Bertrand DELANOE is: gay and communist (well, socialist). He is the man that opened a beach (complete with trucked in sand) on the banks of the Seine.
The mayor of Paris is like the Governor of California. Jacques Chirac was mayor of Paris before he was le President de la Republique.
