There will not be only one Les Républicains candidate for mayor of Marseille on Saturday. While Martine Vassal (LR), who arrived second Sunday evening during the second round of the municipal elections, and eliminated in her sector, announced on Thursday that she would retire in favor of Guy Teissier, Lionel Royer-Perreaut, re-elected in the 9th and 10th arrondissements, also announced its candidacy.
"I was re-elected, it gives me some legitimacy," he said in a video posted on his Facebook page.
He welcomed the withdrawal of Martine Vassal, "logical" according to him, the candidate having been defeated. "What I understand less is that she decided alone to appoint Guy Teyssier as the one who should be the candidate for next Saturday on behalf of our political family. We did not have a meeting, of contact, it is not the conception that I have of the policy ”, tackles the one that as of Monday Renaud Muselier presented that leaving“ incontestably winner of this ballot ”.

Martine Vassal indeed estimated earlier this Thursday that Guy Teissier, 75, deputy of Bouches-du-Rhône and dean of the municipal council, is best placed to try to get ahead of Michèle Rubirola. "I made the choice of wisdom, experience, consensus and respect," said the president of the Departmental Council and the metropolis, this Thursday.
Current agreements with the RN?
“I cannot support the candidacy of Guy Teissier because he was not a candidate, he was not elected by the Marseillais to be designated to be mayor of arrondissement or of Marseille. We cannot transform a democratic denial into another democratic denial. And I cannot support the candidacy of Guy Teissier because I know that there are agreements in progress with the National Front and I cannot be part of a strategy of alliance with the National Front ”, ensures his side Lionel Royer-Perreaut.
What denied Guy Teissier this Thursday evening on the antenna of BFM TV, which launched a foot call to Samia Galhi. The latter therefore assumes the role of arbitrator of this election.
