Martine Vassal is disputed on the right. - AFP

  • Despite its delay of 13,000 votes, the right dreamed of retaining the town hall of Marseille.
  • Some wish that another candidacy than that of Martine Vassal emerges for the third round.
  • Guy Teissier has come forward. Lionel Royer-Perreaut remains him, in the expectation.

After the defeat, the division and the negotiations. In Marseille, the lists of Republicans are 13,000 votes behind those of the Printemps Marseille. But by the game of alliances, the right hopes to keep the mayor of Marseille during the "third round", the city council which will appoint the new mayor of Marseille on Saturday. For this, some are considering a plan B for the candidacy of Martine Vassal, yet head of the list and president of the metropolis and the Departmental Council.

"Either she can succeed in the unit, or someone has to do it." Only Lionel Royer-Perreaut is undoubtedly victorious in this election, "launched Renaud Muselier, LR president of the Regional Council who now refuses to say more:" I do not want to meddle in Marseille. "

Lionel Royer-Perreaut remains loyal (for now)

He is not the only one to imagine the forty-something Lionel Royer-Perreaut at the head of the second city of France. The former dissident right-wing candidate Bruno Gilles also believes that the right needs a "peaceful candidacy." "

If I understand correctly, Bruno Gilles, who will not vote for Martine Vassal on Friday, rather pushes for Lionel Royer-Perreaut, more legitimate in electoral terms and less brittle than Vassal. If not ?

Lionel Royer-Perreaut, widely re-elected to the town hall of the 9th and 10th arrondissements, is keeping a low profile for the moment: "I am sensitive to requests," he says with a smile of pride. But Martine Vassal has run for the Republican right and she has the capacity to make unity. "

Guy Teissier out of the woods

A third name emerges: that of Guy Teissier, dean of the future municipal council and mentor of Lionel Royer-Perreaut in politics. "I do not think that my collaborator has the legitimacy to claim the mayor of Marseille", tackles the elected official. He poses himself as a potential recourse: “If Martine [Vassal] gives up, I will probably present my candidacy. I already had consensus behind me, when I chaired EuromĂ©diterranĂ©e or when I was managing the Urban Community ”, poses Guy Teissier. This does not prevent him from affirming his "loyalty" to Martine Vassal. She will appreciate.
