Since 2012 the promises of the French President are tracked by Le Monde :
* for François Hollande
* for Emmanuel Macron

In 2017, we decided to track the promises of mayors in partnership with 10 regional newspapers.

The Beta version is online on https://promessesdelus.org/

The aims of the project are to:
* Restore value and meaning to the word “promises”
* Encourage mayors to make fewer promises during the elections and to hold them once they are elected
* Make elected officials aware of their responsabilities (avoid the “race to the promises”) but also the citizens (propensity to elect the politicians who make them dream)
* Get involved in a constructive approach at a time when citizens’ mistrust of politics has never been greater

For each mayor, two types of promises will be followed:
* The promises made during the election campaign
* The promises made during the mandate

The presentation of the promises and their evaluation will be carried out by the journalists of each newspaper.

Each promise will be commented with:
* A pictogram: green (promise fulfilled), orange (promise partially realized), red (promise not realized), gray (promise difficult to evaluate)
* An explanation of the evaluation (text, image or video format)
* Mayor’s Right of Response
