So, it is with a comfortable lead that the gendarme will come to challenge the lawyer during a crucial week before the second round set for Sunday, May 10.
Politically speaking, the results provide some insights such as the trust in the municipal majority, the positioning of the Socialist Party in the wake of its UMP rival, the respectable score of Patrick Villardry in his baptism of fire, and finally André Chauvet and Robert Injey who share just over 6% of the votes. Another surprise, the identitarians of Nissa Rebela who have moved ahead of Sami Cheniti, the candidate of Patrick Mottard.
Nice Premium will return to the whys and wherefores of this election throughout the coming week.
