To be honest, it was a competition where the winner’s name was known in advance! The outgoing departmental majority, which represented 50 out of 54 elected officials, certainly had nothing to fear.
However, facing 25 pairs from the National Rally (RN) in the second round, it won all these confrontations. Additionally, it regained one of the two left-wing cantons needed to achieve a grand slam: the canton of Contes, where the young and talented mayor of Breil, Sébastien Olharan, ousted the long-standing communist Francis Tujague.
Only the eco-socialist Marie-Louise Gourdon will remain to play the role of the opposing voice in an assembly dominated by the diarchy of Ginésy-Ciotti.
Unless, considering the toxic climate within the Republicans (LR), an undeclared opposition emerges between the Ciotti supporters and those from Nice and the metropolitan area aligned with Christian Estrosi, consisting of 15 to 20 elected officials.
In any case, we can predict that Charles-Ange Ginésy will be re-elected president of the Departmental Council, and the Finance Commission will be chaired by Eric Ciotti!
Re-elected with Anne Satonnet in the canton of Vence with a record score, Charles-Ange Ginésy does not hide his satisfaction: “I am also delighted with the results of the departmental majority. It emerges strengthened from this election. And in what a way! Our candidates won in 26 of the 27 Maralpins cantons. It’s a historic success, which warms our hearts.”
