New rebound for the regional elections in PACA.
On Sunday, May 2, Prime Minister Jean Castex announced the merger of the majority list with that led by President Les Républicains de la region, Renaud Muselier.
Under pressure from the right-wing party, it had backed down and questioned the terms of the agreement.
And this Friday, the head of the list of La République en Marche in PACA, Sophie Cluzel, announced that she would finally be a candidate.

She had remained silent since the announcement of her rallying to Renaud Muselier.
But the reversals of the president of the PACA region finally decided Sophie Cluzel to speak.
Out of the question for the Secretary of State in charge of people with disabilities to be dictated to conditions to be on Renaud Muselier's list and in particular to leave his post in the government.
The maneuvers of the one who finally kept the nomination of the Republicans after having triggered a psychodrama on the right even seem to have pushed Sophie Cluzel to resume her independence.
"
I am a candidate and the presidential majority will be represented in the first round of the regional election
," she repeated this Friday morning on
France Info
.
A formula which remains however ambiguous: candidate yes, but still on the list of Renaud Muselier?
No answer.
The presidential majority represented in the first round in an alliance with The Republicans?
The vagueness there also persists.
But Sophie Cluzel seems especially to reach out to the barons of the Republicans who left the party with a bang this week after being appointed responsible for the rapprochement with LREM:
the mayor of Nice Christian Estrosi
and
that of Toulon, Hubert Falco
.
