In Nice, a bastion of the right and far-right, Emmanuel Macron won the duel with 60.14%. In the first round, MLP had received 25.2% of the votes compared to 20.5% for her opponent (Fillon was the most voted with 26.1%).
At the departmental level, heavily influenced by the Nice vote, the result is more mixed: 55.38%, still in favor of Emmanuel Macron.
This reversal was made possible by the unconditional support of Christian Estrosi, who fought like a lion for the “marcher,” mobilizing all his networks to defeat MLP.
The reactions of local elected officials and political leaders reflect their personal positioning and confirm that the internal situation within traditional parties is in full motion.
The comparative reading of the two LR leaders’ statements is instructive and heralds promising times within the local right, in both the literal and figurative sense of the word.
@Christian Estrosi: I remain Gaullist, I wish the President’s success because I wish France’s success.
@Eric Ciotti: In the face of this default election, the responsibility of the right and center is significant: no compromises, focus on the legislative elections!
This evening, the head of the Metropolis will hold a conference: could it be to talk about the legislative elections?
In any case, a message has already been sent: @: I will support in the legislative elections the candidates of the right and center who have an unambiguous republican stance with #FN
By chance, could it be addressed to someone?
