It would not be a quadrangular but a triangular. This Monday, after a long weekend of negotiations between the outgoing mayor, Nicolas Florian (LR), and the macronist Thomas Cazenave, many reports indicate common ground found for the second round of municipal elections in Bordeaux. According to RMC, this information was given to activists from both camps during the day.

While the deposit of the lists must be done this Tuesday at the latest, the two candidates, arriving respectively first (34.56%) and third (12.69%) in the first round, would be ready to join in a list of 'union in the second round against the environmentalist Pierre Hurmic (34.38%) and the "anticapitalist" list led by Philippe Poutou (NPA, 11.77%).

Florian will surely have to make room on his list 

"Discussions are underway," said a spokesperson for Thomas Cazenave at 20 Minutes. An alliance that would radically change the situation for the outgoing mayor, who had obtained in the first round only 96 votes more than the environmental candidate. Described as Macron-compatible, governing with the MoDem within the municipal majority, Nicolas Florian will surely have to make room for his new allies.

According to Sud-Ouest , the Renewal Bordeaux list of Cazenave would have obtained in the merger agreement 13 places eligible for the municipal council of Bordeaux and eight seats in the Metropolis.

Questioned by France Bleu Gironde, Pierre Hurmic explained that he dared not "believe in this agreement which would be breathtaking". How to have “made such harsh remarks during the whole campaign, to make such a big gap today, for a few places in the town hall and in the metropolis? », He asks himself on the radio.
