Martine Aubry will be re-elected mayor of Lille. No suspense to wait for the installation of the municipal council which will take place this Friday at the belfry. The questions that arise are of another order: how is the mayor (PS) of Lille going to direct her fourth term?
Because - and this is the contradiction of these 2020 municipal elections - never has its list won with such a small margin (227 votes ahead of Stéphane Baly), but never has it had so much leeway, without the majority of environmentalists.
"Always talk, you interest me!" "
On the ecological orientations of this mandate, Audrey Linkenheld, potential first assistant to Martine Aubry, is formal: "The people of Lille voted as much for social justice as for the ecological transition". There will therefore be no hand extended to the former green allies who will now benefit from a "free word".
"To start again in a governance of" Cause always, you interest me! "It might as well be in the opposition," says Jérémie Crépel, former elected municipal official (EELV). "If the projects are in line with our ecological values, there is no reason to vote against", tempers the new green elected official, Maroin Al Dandachi.
The former head of the list, Stéphane Baly, assures, for his part, that the opposition will not be "stupid and limited". "We will oppose if necessary, as we always did when we were in the majority," he notes.
The chairmanship of certain committees entrusted to the opposition?
“Governance will be different. We have a plural majority to live with communists, centrists and personalities from various horizons, ”underlines, in addition, Audrey Linkenheld. However, the latter announced that it is "possible to entrust the chairmanship of certain committees to the opposition". A first under the Aubry reign.
Citizen participation on major projects, experimenting with online democracy, setting up a high council for the climate are all initiatives that the majority also promise to take.
"These are 60% of Lille who invite Martine Aubry to take more account of the opposition," said Violette Spillebout (LREM), who will sit in the opposition. For her first term, the former chief of staff of Martine Aubry affirms that her group of 6 elected officials "will meet their responsibilities".
