Jean-Luc Moudenc, the outgoing mayor (LR) of Toulouse during a press point on June 3, 2020. - B. Colin / 20 Minutes

  • Tuesday, after tough negotiations, three lists on the left partly merged, bringing together almost all of the sensitivities behind the ecologist Antoine Maurice.
  • The outgoing mayor, Jean-Luc Moudenc, decided to go on the offensive by criticizing his opponents.

It does not go there by four paths. Before the merger of the lists on the left, the outgoing mayor of the Pink City, Jean-Luc Moudenc (LR) had compared the members of the Citizen Archipelago list to watermelons: green on the outside, red on the inside. After the union with the forceps announced yesterday between the different political currents of the Toulouse left, he continued his treatment by taking out the sulfator against "these dark forces".

Results of the municipal elections in Toulouse

“The proposed alternative includes particularly dangerous far-left forces, whose complicit silence I denounce in the face of violence. The model of our peaceful local democracy is in jeopardy, ”said the councilor on Wednesday, who came out on top in the first ballot with 36.18%.

I invite all Tlsains to know the true nature of this blend with the mysterious name of Archipelago.
Behind 1 sympathetic showcase hide dark forces, France Insoumise, the Red Vests of Saturday, the melenchonists, the ultra-left.

But in political end, he knows that nothing is played in advance and that the addition of the voices of the left is not very favorable to him. Just like the last Ifop poll, commissioned by Archipel, which leads the united left in the second round, with 52% of the vote. “I was always wary of it, in 2014, nine times they gave me a fight. More than polls, it's conversations with people I trust, "says the outgoing mayor.

Exchanges during which he will not fail to criticize his adversary who advances "masked" behind "a kind hood of harmlessness", and "conceals his most dangerous fundamental choices". Jean-Luc Moudenc points out "the followers of shrinking while jobs are threatened", the aeronautical sector which he is ready to defend and to which "the extreme left of Archipel opposes a distrust as old as tenacious", or even the differences of opinion between the running mates of Antoine Maurice on the need to build the LGV. And to support his remarks on the economy, he calls on his former challenger, the socialist Nadia Pellefigue, "who defended positions identical to ours".

Denounced attacks

Jean-Luc Moudenc would he be afraid? "I warn the people of Toulouse and warn them. We want to block the far left, "which he considers inexperienced. Unlike him. "In heavy weather, is it not better a seasoned captain at the head of the ship, accompanied by Toulousains holders of skills, rather than a Mexican army subject to party orders, with at its head inexperience, doubled by a deficit of authority? "Clashe Jean-Luc Moudenc, by directly targeting Antoine Maurice.

The spring that therefore offers @jlmoudenc to voters is fear. A fear fed by its dogmatism and its failures. Next June 28th ac @archipelTM we offer the hope of a better, ecological, united, democratic city. Two very different ideas of the future. pic.twitter.com/mW7aWPPjYq

On the Citizen Archipelago, we denounce these attacks, symptoms of fear. "It is a habit with him, there is Jean-Luc Moudenc whom we find flexible for five years and which becomes hard when we get closer to the elections," comments socialist senator Claude Raynal, who joined the list Citizen Archipelago after having been Nadia Pellefigue's running mate.
