- In Bordeaux, a historic second round opposed three candidates: the outgoing mayor Nicolas Florian (LR) joined with Thomas Cazenave (LREM), the ecologist Pierre Hurmic and Philippe Poutou, the candidate of the extreme left.
- On June 18, a last poll announced that Nicolas Florian stood out in front of Pierre Hurmic. He collected 49% of the voting intentions against 40% for the environmental candidate and 11% for Philippe Poutou.
- This June 28, after six months of an unprecedented electoral campaign, Pierre Hurmic finally won the mayor of Bordeaux, with 46.48% of the votes. It thus puts an end to 73 years of reign of the right.
Historical. Bordeaux switches to the left. At 8:30 p.m. already, smiles were far from being masked rue des Trois Conils at Pierre Hurmic's headquarters. Bordeaux followed the green wave and went green this Sunday evening, in the second round of the municipal elections (38.33% of participation). After nearly thirty years in opposition, Pierre Hurmic (Bordeaux Respire) will become mayor of the Gironde capital.
With 46.48% of the vote, the environmental candidate blew the place of mayor to Nicolas Florian (44.12%), far ahead of Philippe Poutou (Bordeaux in struggles) and his 9.39%. The outgoing mayor (LR), called for the succession by Alain Juppé, will not have finally made the weight vis-à-vis the lawyer Girondin, ecological convinced. Already in the first round, the heir of Alain Juppé had collected only 18,990 votes, only 96 ahead of Pierre Hurmic. The very tight score of the first two sounded like a thunderclap at Bordeaux. The city had not had the right to a second round since 1947.
At 7:30 p.m., the mayor of Bordeaux, where the offices traditionally vote on the right, the results were not in favor of the candidate LR. At 7:45 p.m., Alain Juppé showed up with a smile, frightened the journalists and sparked the rumors of victory of the LR camp. About ten minutes later, the polls "out of the polls" gave Pierre Hurmic ahead, at only one point. The gap will finally widen around 9:30 p.m .: EELV is ahead of LR by three points. Huge.
"I have a lot of sadness", loose Alain Juppé
"I prefer to be careful, but Bordeaux seems to have changed sides, to have followed the green wave," analyzed Camille Choplin around 8 pm. In front of the campaign headquarters, number two on the Bordeaux Respire list displayed a pretty smile that promised a beautiful evening of victory and end of the campaign. “I am very sad. I have nothing to say about alliances. What do you want is democracy. There is a green wave everywhere in France, ”said an emotional Alain Juppé, leaving Bordeaux city hall at 9:40 p.m.
By leaving even before the intervention of Nicolas Florian, the mentor of the outgoing mayor, who used to be elected in an armchair from the first round, then buried the last doubts on the final score and ... Nicolas Florian.
All results in Bordeaux
We will certainly not forget that the candidate LR had already failed twice when he presented himself to the voters of Bordeaux on his name. It was during the legislative elections of 2012 and 2017. However, ten days ago, a last poll announced that Nicolas Florian stood out in front of Pierre Hurmic. He collected 49% of the voting intentions, against 40% for the environmental candidate and 11% for Philippe Poutou.
No one saw it coming, but it was ultimately Pierre Hurmic who was to be the work-study man in Bordeaux. "You made the polls lie. This victory is yours, launched the green candidate who claimed the victory at 10:30 p.m. in the courtyard of the town hall of Bordeaux. I will be a full-time mayor. The people of Bordeaux deserve it, I will not disappoint them. "
