Philippe Poutou, twice a candidate for the NPA (New Anticapitalist Party) in the presidential election, will lead a list to the municipal elections in Bordeaux. The news was confirmed on Wednesday. Its list will associate the NPA with a citizen collective supported by La France Insoumise, we learned on Wednesday from LFI.
The agreement was signed Tuesday evening between the NPA and Bordeaux Debout, a collective set up last fall and supported by LFI, to carry a municipal project "ecological, social, united and democratic".
Spearheading the mobilization against the closure of Ford in Blanquefort
Philippe Poutou, 52, spearheading social mobilization against the closure of the Ford factory in Blanquefort, where he worked near Bordeaux, had already been a candidate in the Gironde capital in 2014 where his NPA list had collected 2.51 % of votes in the first and only ballot.
The departure of Alain Juppe, emblematic mayor of Bordeaux for 25 years, still re-elected in the first round in 2014, promises a disputed competition with notably in the running the outgoing mayor LR, allied with MoDem, Nicolas Florian, the ecologist Pierre Hurmic allied on the left and the candidate invested by the Republic in March Thomas Cazenave.
