The candidate of union of the left to the municipal ones in Marseilles, Michèle Rubirola, promised Friday a city "more just and greener". The only candidate since the withdrawal from the race of the elected socialist Benoît Payan, Michèle Rubirola was acclaimed on Friday by 96% of the 2,157 voters of the Printemps Marseillais, a movement which groups left parties (including the PS, LFI and the PCF), associations and citizens.
"There is a future to write together, for a fairer and greener city", declared the candidate, promising "districts all served by public transport, more frequent and less expensive", to fight against real estate speculation , to "bring nature back to the city" or even to bet on education so that all the little Marseillais have "the same chances of success".
Open each side
Member of Europe Ecologie-les Verts, Michèle Rubirola was suspended from it, her party having left the Printemps Marseillais to launch its own "environmental and citizen gathering". At the head of this last list, Sébastien Barles (EELV), for his part presented Friday the key promises of his "emergency plan for Marseille", alongside the leader of the party, Julien Bayou. In particular, it promises an ecological transition income to help with retraining for own activities, the development of public transport or even the renovation of schools.
Each in their turn, the heads of these two lists on the left repeated their desire for unity. But everyone returned the ball to the competitor. "Only the gathering of the left, environmentalists and citizens will win this city", led for twenty-five years by the right of Jean-Claude Gaudin (LR), according to Michèle Rubirola. "We have always advocated the gathering, the others are responsible for their choice," said the head of the list.
"We will go to the end around my candidacy," insisted for his part Sébastien Barles, who claims to keep his doors open. The other main candidates for mayor of Marseille are Senator Stéphane Ravier for the RN, the president of the department and of the Aix-Marseille metropolis Martine Vassal for the Republicans, Senator Bruno Gilles in dissident LR, Yvon Berland, the former president from Aix-Marseille University, for LREM, and Senator Samia Ghali, elected under the socialist label but breaking with the party.
