I fail to see why you're all panicking. The chances of this woman or her party ever being elected to the Paris town hall are zilch! She belongs to a far left party called "La France Insoumise" (A Rebellious France) led by a fire breathing demagogue called Jean-Luc Mélenchon who still hasn't lived down the humiliation of having lost a presidential election he was probably the only one to think he could win! This call for a referendum is some last ditch & desperate call for attention. Nobody listens what she has to say and no one cares......

<face-palm> You really need to find other sources of information than the xenophobic, lying & Putin snogging Daily Express!! Then again, reading anything else than that useless rag might give you a nose bleed.......

My thoughts entirely .....

The media and bidding team are keeping fairly low key about it at the moment for various reasons. First of all they don't want to get peoples' hopes up only to see them dashed again! ("Once burned, twice shy"). Secondly we're a year away from the vote and all the journos here are mainly concentrating on the may 2016 presidential & parliamentary elections. However the bid was frequently mentioned by pundits and medal winners during Rio 2016......

The by-laws banning the wearing of 'burkinis' on French beaches have just been quashed by the French supreme court......

Stefan, Before throwing mud at my country you should be asking yourself what role your country played in making an already volatile situation in Europe even worse by your Merkel's cynical and self serving actions. By opening the floodgates to millions of refugees (many of whom were simple economic migrants) she probably thought she could cherry pick the best for her domestic industry then offload the rest of the unwanted to the other EU citing "European solidarity".
