These upcoming cantonal elections will quickly become a topic of discussion and are already sparking debates in local political microcosms. The return of Jacques Peyrat, the reconciliation between Allemand/Mottard, the endorsement of Olivier Bettati… In short, even before the official campaigns, which have already largely begun unofficially, many questions remain unanswered that, when the time comes, will provide significant insights into the political positions of various individuals in the capital of the Côte d’Azur.
As with all major sporting competitions, the Nice cantonal elections also inherit a “pool of death,” which is numbered 14. This election will pit the outgoing candidate and major figure of the coastal PS, Paul Cuturello, against the Deputy Mayor and Regional Councilor UMP, Dominique Estosi-Sassone, and the former Deputy Mayor of Nice, Jacques Peyrat. A very high-level starting line that will undoubtedly lead to a campaign that will not lack spice.
Nice Premium will closely follow the evolution of the different cantons that will go to the polls with investigations, interviews, and reports on the candidates, the issues, and those who make up these districts of Nice.
