Hervé Caël calls for a Republican vote: In a press release, the MoDem candidate who led the “Nice Rainbow” list with the PRG and MEI stated, “I call upon the women and men of Nice who trusted the ‘Nice Rainbow’ list (MoDem PRG MEI), without issuing a specific voting directive, to cast their votes for one of the two Republican candidates qualified for the second round (Christian ESTROSI or Patrick ALLEMAND). It is up to each voter to choose the Republican candidate who seems most capable of implementing the proposals in terms of program, democratic principles, and pluralism in the governance of the city of Nice that we defended in this campaign.”
Nissa Rebela creates a barrier against Christian Estrosi: The Nissa Rebela list calls for voting for Jacques Peyrat in the municipal elections while endorsing Marc Concas and Yann Libratti for the cantonal elections in the first and second cantons, as the Niçois identitarians aim to prevent the absolute lockdown of all local institutions.
Dario Lutchmayah supports Patrick Allemand: Speaking at Patrick Allemand’s rally, the former campaign director of the Nice Autrement list expressed his support for the Socialist Party candidate by stating, “It is the responsibility of each socialist to be involved in this election, to build a strong popular and civic momentum for the people of Nice by implementing a people-serving policy. Those who thought it right to turn the first round of the Municipal elections into a primary on the left must resign themselves to accepting the verdict of the ballot box.”
Clarifications from MoDem: In a press release, the MoDem of the Alpes Maritimes wishes to clarify that “Martine Dubus’s stance was a decision made unilaterally and without consultation with the departmental authorities, the activists of the Democratic Movement, and the co-list members of the Nice Rainbow list. The departmental authorities, of course, condemn without any reserve this regrettable decision. We therefore completely disassociate ourselves from this decision-making and confirm that the position of MoDem was expressed by Hervé Cael and the MoDem candidates in the cantonal elections: F. Benard; C. Razeau, A. Minetto.”
