No single PCF list for now. They are relying on the responsibility of PS candidates to settle their “skirmish,” as they call the candidacies of Patricks (Allemand and Mottard).
For the communists, the issue is to propose a project that takes into account the expectations of the people of Nice. Therefore, they will focus on proximity. Then, it will be necessary to build a coalition of leftist forces. “There is no possible alternative to the right without a union of all.” It’s evident that while the ideological questions being raised by socialist activists within their party come at a bad time given the election schedule, it’s even clearer that the communists do not care.
At least for now, because in the Communist Party, if the ideological rapprochement ahead of the municipal elections continues to be a given (it’s seen as a logical necessity for all), it could still be the last, or even never happen at all, because the communists don’t seem to be paying much attention to Patrick Allemand’s statement last week at the Ecovie hall, suggesting that Democratic and Socialist Movement lists were possible. Socialists find themselves in the quagmire of municipal election alliances without having yet carried out their renovation.
The program.
Reduce the number of public service delegations to return responsibility to the town hall. A redistribution of seats and participants in neighborhood councils and the CANCA. Increase spending on city equipment and infrastructure, with a special effort to “promote community spaces, allow the development of artist and creator housing-workshops.” An avant-garde ecological policy should also be implemented.
The PC: a steel mentality.
They remind anyone who will listen that they have always wanted to participate locally in the joint fight against the UMP. Ms. Simone Monticelli, deputy mayor, exemplifies their discipline: “Even when nationally the PC and PS opposed each other in 2000, we always knew how, in Nice, to silence the quarrels. We have always respected the parties.” Jacques Victor, general councilor, confidently adds that the honeymoon period will not last much longer, and that the debates tearing the PS apart will work in their favor. “I know many socialists who are fed up and are wondering if it might not be better to join us,” he proclaims with assurance.
