Sixty nine. It is the number of names that must include, at least *, a candidate list for municipal elections in municipalities with more than 300,000 inhabitants. Among them, there are those of the head of the list, present for a few weeks on the campaign leaflets. And then there are those who appear in the last symbolic place. While the deposit of the lists closed on Thursday at 6 p.m., 20 Minutes offers you an overview of these 69th or 70th women or men in Nice.

A breathtaking candidate for ecological Nice

Freediving world champion Guillaume Néry has joined the Nice ecological list (EELV-AEI), led by Jean-Marc Governatori. “Today, we encourage everyone to change their behavior. Small individual actions must be accompanied by political decisions. By joining this list, I join a program that wants to rethink the city through the prism of ecology. It may seem extremist today but it will become a necessity, ”explains the ambassador of the planet.

The Nice ecological list also offered the services of the Nice singer Mehdi Parisot, alias Medi. The creator of the Dime On label had great success with his hit How Would You Do It .

Denise Fabre bows out of LR - UDI list

The ex-speaker of the small screen takes a step back in politics. Currently tenth deputy in charge of events and promoting the image of the city, Denise Fabre will occupy 70th place on the list led by outgoing mayor Christian Estrosi.

A list which also includes the journalist Henry-Jean Servat, who will be responsible for defending the animal cause (47th place), and Patrick Mottard, president of the Left Radical Party (PRG) of the Alpes-Maritimes and Provence-Alpes- French Riviera (43rd place).

The RN list is new with old

Me Jacques Peyrat, former senator-mayor of Nice (1995-2008), will occupy the place of honor on the “Find Nice” list, led by Philippe Vardon and supported by the National Rally and the People's Right. "The presence of Jacques Peyrat symbolizes the passing of the torch between the one who was mayor of Nice for thirteen years and the one who could become one in three weeks", commented the head of the list Philippe Vardon. Skillful Bill!

Lawyer Joseph Ciccolini has “Nice at Heart” (PS)

The Niçois are known to have fought against Jacques Peyrat's anti-begging orders and for their commitment in favor of migrants. He is also active in the opposition of lawyers to the pension reform. "He is truly an emblematic character of the left in Nice", we boast on the side of the list led by the socialist Patrick Allemand.

Small favor between paratroopers within "Nice for all"

“Didier Codani insisted on being the last on the list, notes Benoit Kandel, head of the list of“ Nice pour tous ”(CNIP - DLF). Being both patented paratroopers, I owed him this favor. The former military and current manager responsible for management control for Côte d'Azur Habitat was chosen because "he is at a crossroads of values ​​between the social, the homeland and the defense of the territory".

A fate for the “All for Nice” list

Michelle Villeminot, retired from Nice, is at the bottom of the UPR list. A position that she owes a bit to chance. “We have selected the people who provided a clean criminal record (although it is not compulsory), who brought it in early, who are activists of course. Then there was a mix by drawing lots ”, details the head of the list Valéry Sohm.
