It is now certain. In any case, there will be no LREM candidate, whether or not invested by the party, in Nice. After Joëlle Martinaux, who announced that she threw in the towel on Thursday evening at 20 Minutes, it is the member Cédric Roussel who also announced this Friday that he would give up running for municipal elections.
"We are three weeks from the start of the filing of the lists for the next municipal elections, six weeks from the first round and my movement has still not made its decision on Nice, 5th city in France. At the same time, the outgoing mayor loudly rejects the support and the values that our movement could give him, thus making any co-construction of a common project impossible, "explains the parliamentarian, who specifies:" I therefore take today the decision to withdraw from the next municipal elections ”.
According to several sources close to the party, The Republic on the march had been in talks for a few weeks with the camp of the outgoing mayor. A version challenged by the Christian Estrosi team. "There is no discussion," said Anthony Borré, the chief of staff to the candidate-mayor. Christian Estrosi is the only decision maker who will compose his list. And no party is going to interfere in this. "
