Last night at the Palace, the “Nice for All” candidate, Benoît Kandel, accompanied by Bruno North, president of the Independents and Farmers Party, and leader of Debout la France, Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, kicked off his final sprint.
On the Palace’s upper floor, local journalists were invited to a press conference reminding them of the program and emphasizing his “determination to see it through to the end.”
Before the subsequent meeting, the three politicians of the day reiterated their ambition for these municipal elections. “My visit is very important. In Nice, the election has a strong political dimension. The mayor of Nice is the candidate of En Marche. I don’t see how the people of Nice can vote for the President’s party, which has slashed retirement pensions and doesn’t fight against delinquency. He deceives people, and the Republicans of Nice must vote for Benoît Kandel,” asserted Nicolas Dupont-Aignan.
The leader of Debout la France supports the former deputy mayor. His list, initially led by Jean-Marc Chipot, the head of the movement in Nice, rallied around the “Nice for All” candidate.
“I am the only right-wing list in Nice.”
After the decision of the Alpes-Maritimes deputy, Éric Ciotti, not to run in Nice, and the outgoing mayor’s alignment with En Marche, Benoît Kandel appears to offer the only solution for the right. At least, that’s what he aims to represent. A part of the local political landscape that seems to fit perfectly with the shoulders of the former deputy mayor.
“I am very happy to support Benoît Kandel because when I read his program, it’s everything I’ve done in my city. It’s proximity, common sense, and good management, not delusions of grandeur. Nice is too beautiful a city to fall into delusions of grandeur. The city needs common sense, integrity, coherence, and I’ve come to know Benoît, who perfectly represents these values,” repeated Nicolas Dupont-Aignan.
A significant support for someone aiming to reach the second round. In the previous elections, he was on Olivier Bettati’s list, which reached 10%.
