#3Not just a mathematician but a Fields medal winner.
The current mayor of Paris is also an interesting person, being a Spanish-born woman from a working class family. She has made huge strides in the greenification of Paris:

It's not because you are good at maths that you are good at politics. And he's the best example about that we've had so far.

#5Nothing to see here unfortunately, he's like any other politician. I mean you wouldn't be able to tell he's received a Fields medal by the way he speaks and what propositions he makes.
I too would like to hear him say " ... you bring up the subject of housing in Paris and I'll tell you how I think about the problem: in mathematics we have a rather abstract concept called a Group ... ".

#6Is he in favor of clopen borders?

#7He was commissioned for a report on AI while been part of the french parliament. You can found it here in EN : https://www.aiforhumanity.fr/pdfs/MissionVillani_Report_ENG-...

#9Being a former Parisian, I can object here you can be a medal fields winner and not having a clue about economic problem. Paris is facing quite sensible issues right now ( higher debt, untidy streets, insecurity,etc...) and for now all he's proposing here is very similar to what any others politician would offer to get elected.
Parisians need some radical changements and for now I haven't heard anything from him tackling the right issues but just big promises and gifts for all ( please note that this also applies to the others candidates as well).

What radical changes would you like to see?
I don't live in Paris but I may be living there in the years to come.
