No alliance between Aubry and the Greens for municipal in Lille

The people of Lille will therefore be the referees. PS Mayor of Lille, Martine Aubry, announced Saturday that there would be no agreement between her list and that worn by environmentalist Stéphane Baly for the second round of municipal elections on June 28. The Greens are allies of Martine Aubry in the current mandate and Stéphane Baly is himself a municipal councilor responsible for energy. A third list will be in competition to take the town hall: that of Violette Spillebout (LREM).

Distribution of seats

“Last Thursday evening, our teams met (…) Since then, and despite our reminders, Lille Verte 2020 has not followed up on this first meeting. We take note of it, ”said Martine Aubry's team. "We were ready to change governance (...) However, Lille Verte 2020 was braced on a distribution of seats which in no way reflects the results of the 1st round", adds the press release from the list "Lille in common , Lille with confidence ”.

The challenge was to widen the union of left forces and environmentalists, engaged with @ lilleverte2020 around @GEcologie @ GenerationLille @ DiaM25 @voltlille @EELV_Lille visibly Martine Aubry did not want it https://t.co/r6AGIpx5cR

For his part, Stéphane Baly denounced the "abrupt electoral campaign" of Martine Aubry "and his solitary and authoritarian management of the coronavirus crisis". "Where we should have joined together to face the storm, Martine Aubry made the deliberate choice of hyper-concentration of power and disdain for the proposals made to better manage the consequences of the pandemic in our city", a- he clarified. Evoking disagreements on the merits - "continued advertising, development of video surveillance, reluctance on universal income and housing for the most disadvantaged (...)", the environmental team ensures that "its door remained open until butt ". "The dry and false conclusion brought to this episode does not grow its instigator".

1) our door was open and you wanted to close it from the first day. We waited in vain ... what lies!
2) what substantive disagreements when you only talked about the posts? We would have liked to have substantive exchanges. https://t.co/zx9fmktbBm

"She will lose alone"

Everyone now blows the blame. In a concise statement, environmentalists specify that "Martine Aubry will therefore go alone in the second round. She will lose alone. This is a sad end for a figure in French and Lille political life, who refuses to register in the history of the world after ”. For Arnaud Deslandes, member of Martine Aubry's list, the attitude of the environmental team, on the other hand, reflects "what happened during the second half of the mandate, and even during confinement". However, he remains confident: “the list came out on top, the momentum is on our side. "

At the end of the 1st round, on March 15, Martine Aubry - mayor since 2001 and candidate for a 4th mandate, came in first with 29.8% of the votes, while the list of Stéphane Baly had signed a historic breakthrough (24, 5%). Arriving 3rd with 17.5% of the vote, the former director of cabinet of Martine Aubry, Violette Spillebout (LREM), had reached out to the environmental candidate on the evening of the first round, but the latter had rejected his proposal.
