Anti-cults Fight
In 2005, Anne Hidalgo took a stand in the debate on cults in France, becoming the president of a committee of vigilance against the cults at the Mairie de Paris. She was especially opposed to the Church of Scientology and New Acropolis and participated in a demonstration in front of the Scientology's premises. At that time, a map of the cults in Paris, established by the Mairie de Paris and promoted by Anne Hidalgo, was controversial and Hidalgo had to submit a complaint against X for the diffusion on the Internet of a leaflet signed by a "committee to support Anne Hidalgo" which requested to denounce "non-compliant behaviors". Anne Hidalgo denies any link with the supposed support committee. However, her complaint was dismissed.

Famous quotes containing the word fight:
“In my practice I’ve seen how people have allowed their humanity to drain away. Only it happens slowly instead of all at once. I didn’t seem to mind.... All of us, a little bit. We harden our hearts. Grow callous. Only when we have to fight to stay human do we realize how precious it is to us, how dear.”
—Daniel Mainwaring (1902–1977)
