In addition to the Paris soap opera, with talks still underway, the situation is settling in most of the big cities where a second round is to take place, before the final deposit of the lists, Tuesday. Europe 1 takes stock of the situation in Lyon, Bordeaux and even Perpignan. 

The negotiations are likely to continue until the last moment in Paris, where Anne Hidalgo came first in the first round of the municipal elections: if the exchanges between the outgoing mayor (PS) and Cédric Villani seem to be stopped, negotiations are still in progress with environmentalist David Belliard. The LREM candidate Agnès Buzyn, she, always, reaches out to the mathematician, while the final lists must be submitted on Tuesday. What about elsewhere in France? Europe 1 takes stock, 24 hours before the deadline.

LREM has given up on Lyon

In Lyon, Gérard Collomb, the former strong man of the metropolis wants to be king: he concluded an agreement with Les Républicains for the metropolis and retired to the benefit of François Noël Buffet. Except that this alliance no longer has the support of the Republic on the March, which also knows dissent: the majority party no longer supports anyone and therefore makes a cross on the capital of Gaul.

It also looks complicated for LREM in Bordeaux, despite an agreement in sight with Nicolas Florian, successor to Alain Juppé, which could block the way for environmentalists. Further south, in Marseille, the left came out on top in the first round, the right still remains divided between the candidate LR Martine Vassal and the dissident Bruno Gilles even if the two are in talks, at least in certain sectors. 

A triangular in sight in Lille? 

In Nantes, the socialist Johanna Rolland found an agreement with the Greens, unlike Lille where Martine Aubry and her former green allies are at loggerheads, which should lead to a triangular between socialists, ecologists and The Republic in Market. Finally, in Perpignan where the RN Louis Aliot came out on top in the first round, it will ultimately be a duel in the second round. But the outgoing mayor of the right, Jean-Marc Pujol, refused any alliance as much with the walkers as with the Greens, who all the same gave up. A republican front therefore, but without great enthusiasm.
