Government spokesperson Sibeth Ndiaye said on Sunday evening on France 2 of the majority's "disappointment", which recorded scores sometimes "extremely disappointing" because of its "divisions" during these municipal elections.
"Tonight we are disappointed because there are places, you mentioned Lyon just now, when our own internal division led us to extremely disappointing scores," she said, adding that that "in the months to come", LREM could not afford this kind of division ".
The city of Lyon was conquered by environmentalists led by Grégory Doucet, according to estimates published after the election, facing the dolphin of Gérard Collomb, Yann Cucherat (LR), to whom The Republic on the march had withdrawn its support.
Sibeth Ndiaye, however, relativized the defeat of LREM by stressing the youth of the movement: “In 2014 (…) we did not exist. The Republic on the march is a party that has existed for four years now, "she said, noting the" very high premium for leavers "in this election.
Brune Poirson, the Secretary of State for the Ecological Transition, spoke of the "nuanced results" obtained by LREM, with "on the one hand great victories, on the other (...) failures". "We are a very young political movement," she also stressed.
