The Pierre Hurmic surprise

“In this very worrying health context, it is difficult to rejoice completely. But yes, it is the first time that this Bordeaux citadel has changed sides and that the outgoing mayor has been put in difficulty, "Pierre Hurmic reacted on TV7, when the final results of this first round of the 2020 municipal elections were announced." These results are also the fruit of a very good municipal campaign, ”slipped the candidate earlier at 20 Minutes .

“We are very likely to be able to win in this second round. By dint of opposing one day would come that the Bordeaux would make the choice of ecology ", added the candidate EELV, who dismissed any negotiation of second round:" Do not count on me this evening either to say that there will be device discussions. Those who know me know that I hate political devices and even more discussions of devices. "

What alliances for the second round?

This is the big question that arises this Monday morning: what will be the attitude of the different candidates for the second round? Philippe Poutou (NPA), who arrived fourth, had warned that there would be no alliance with the Pierre Hurmic list. And Thomas Cazenave (LREM)? "I will meet with my running mate and I will announce my position tomorrow" Monday, he said. During his campaign, he had always warned that he would go all the way, even if he sometimes seemed to make foot calls on the side of the environmental list. "The second round is open and speculation about the second when we do not even know if it will stand and are absolutely irrelevant," said Pierre Hurmic on TV7.
