In the Alpes-Maritimes, a right-wing stronghold, the Republicans are strengthening their hegemony: the outgoing LR president Charles-Ange Ginesy is preparing to serve a second term this Thursday, July 1st, at the head of a departmental assembly where the LR’s dominance nearly constitutes a monopoly.
At 65 years old, the mayor of Valberg is set to likely be re-elected as the president of the new departmental council of the Alpes-Maritimes. Charles-Ange Ginesy is indeed preparing to serve a second term at the helm of a departmental assembly where the LR’s dominance nearly constitutes a monopoly, with 26 out of 27 cantons won, equating to 52 out of 54 seats.
The union of the left and the ecologists maintains only one pair, from the canton of Grasse 2, largely won against the RN notably by Marie-Louise Gourdon, the deputy mayor of Mouans-Sartoux and creator of a major book festival.
