The candidate of the Republicans for the municipal election in Arles (Bouches-du-Rhône) withdrew in favor of Patrick de Carolis (various centers), in order to prevent the left from winning in this communist stronghold, Renaud announced on Saturday Muselier, president of the Paca region. In the first round, the former president of France Télévisions Patrick de Carolis came out on top with 26.4% of the vote, ahead of the successor of the outgoing communist mayor, Nicolas Koukas (21.2%). The LR candidate, Cyril Juglaret, won 15.3% of the vote.
Renaud Muselier welcomed this decision on Saturday at a press conference. “I proposed a method for these elections, a reason pact. It operates on Arles since the candidate Mr. Juglaret has withdrawn ”. Patrick de Carolis, 66, claims "a social fiber" to "get the city out of the doldrums" and appeared at the top of a list without labels. “By calling for a reason pact, @ RenaudMuselier encourages all moderate forces to block the far left in the Region. Beyond the political labels I thank him for this reason support! In Arles, the Communists have been at the helm for almost twenty years… ”, commented Patrick de Carolis on Twitter.
His rival Nicolas Koukas, 44, has been elected for 18 years and successor designated by the outgoing mayor, Hervé Schiavetti, in office since 2001. Heir to the outgoing Communist municipality, he stands out from it, however, posting a list "renewed at 80 % ”, An“ open, progressive team, from the Socialist Party, environmentalists and even people from the center right ”… and counting only two inset Communists.
