Lille (AFP)

The socialist mayor of Lille Martine Aubry won Sunday in the second round of the municipal elections by a short head, ahead "of about 200 votes" her environmental competitor Stéphane Baly, announced to AFP his entourage.

The suspense lasted a good part of the beginning of the evening, the polls giving the two candidates neck and neck, largely in front of the macronist candidate Violette Spillebout.
