The man who whispered in the ear of a (former) municipal candidate. - Mathilde Ceilles / 20 Minutes

  • A candidate time, the candidate of the Union of environmentalists Christophe Madrolle decided not to run for mayor of Marseille.
  • He rallied the candidate LREM Yvon Berland, who invested the partner of Christophe Madrolle as head of the list in the 9th and 10th arrondissements.
  • This Thursday, the UDI, so far alongside Jean-Claude Gaudin, will announce its rallying at LREM.

“I found someone better than me to be mayor. Yvon will be a super mayor with great ideas, because he will take my great ideas on ecology. The candidate of the Union of Ecologists Christophe Madrolle announced this Wednesday at a press conference that he will not ultimately be a candidate for mayor of Marseille and that he will join the candidate LREM Yvon Berland.

A rally obtained after "discussions" with his "friend" he did not "know" a short while ago. Even if he defends himself from any "deal", Christophe Madrolle still obtained from Yvon Berland the nomination as head of list of his partner Sophie Goy in the 9th and 10th arrondissements, as well as the presence of members of his left on the lists "almost everywhere", as well as the resumption of the environmental component of its program, like so many "ecological touches".

A rallying of the UDI

"I am an old political chibani and I want to devote myself to something else," says Christophe Madrolle, who ensures that he does not seek any mandate for these municipal elections and now wishes to play the role of "adviser" to Yvon Berland in the last straight line from this campaign.

The LREM candidate applauds this rally with both hands. "I was asked to gather, to have a large bow," says Yvon Berland. We are doing it. And it's not over. We will gather around my candidacy. More broadly than some would have imagined. According to our information, the Union of Democrats and Independents (UDI), which had supported outgoing LR mayor Jean-Claude Gaudin in 2014, will announce its support for Yvon Berland on Thursday.
