It has already changed in 2004 and then in 2015. Will the Pays-de-la-Loire regional council change color again after the election, the next two Sundays?
The question arises when the deputy of Maine-et-Loire Matthieu Orphelin (environmentalist, supported by La France Insoumise) and the former minister Guillaume Garot (Socialist Party), even if they leave divided for the first round, prepare their alliance to hope to win the left vis-à-vis the outgoing president and candidate for her succession, Christelle Moranché (Les Républicains).
On Sunday, five other lists will be put to the vote of the voters, with the objective of collecting the 10% of the votes cast necessary to remain in the second round (or 5% to ally).
What score will the deputy and former minister La République en Marche François de Rugy, also in the running, while a possible second-round agreement with the right is being whispered?
The RN well placed?
Well placed in the last poll, which puts him in second position behind Christelle Mor Anglais in the first round, Hervé Juvin (National Assembly) also intends to have a maximum of elected members among the 93 regional councilors of this assembly, whose major decisions concern high schools, youth, transport or employment.
On Sunday, it will also be possible to vote for the lists of Eddy Le Beller (Lutte Ouvrière), Cécile Bayle de Jessé (Debout la France) and Linda Rigaudeau (Un Nôtre monde).
Regional councilors are elected for six years.
