The leftist list (EELV, PS, PCF, Génération.s) submitted its candidates this Friday. At the heart of the Ecological and Social Rally campaign are the focus on youth and accessibility of the region.
According to a poll published on Tuesday (Ipsos Sopra-Steria for France Télévisions and Radio France, involving a panel of 1,000 PACA voters), credited with 17 to 21% of the votes, the Ecological and Social Rally list led by Jean-Laurent Felizia from Var believes it is buoyed by favorable winds.
In the Alpes-Maritimes, following a skillful distribution of positions among the various components of the coalition, it will be represented by the socialist Xavier Garcia, who has always advocated for this alliance: “We had this region for 18 years when the left and the ecologists were united. Today, we also head into battle united. And as we start a campaign in a very dynamic political context, I fully believe in it.”
Xavier Garcia was born, lives, and works in Nice. With a doctorate in political science, he is a project manager for European projects and a lecturer at the University of Nice-Côte d’Azur. Engaged for 20 years with the Socialist Party for the defense of the underprivileged, from which he comes, he is the First Departmental Secretary in the Alpes-Maritimes.
