    takes stock of the forces present in the second largest region of France.

With its 13 departments, Occitanie may well be the second largest region in France, the one who will lead it on the evening of the second round of the regional elections will come from a small town of Comminges located about sixty kilometers from Toulouse. : Martres-Tolosane. It is the stronghold of Carole Delga, the outgoing socialist president, but also where the family of Jean-Paul Garraud, the RN candidate, finds its roots. And without prejudging the verdict of the ballot box, the polls invariably show that the match will be played between the ex-minister of François Hollande and the one Marine Le Pen wants to make his Keeper of the Seals in case of presidential destiny.

In the most recent opinion studies, and like Louis Aliot in 2015, the magistrate RN (ex-LR), who favors the theme of security on social networks, always comes out ahead in the first round, oscillating between 30 and 33% of voting intentions, against 26 to 30% for Carole Delga.

But Jean-Paul Garraud is making very little progress in the second round assumptions and the outgoing remains favorite to his succession.

Delga advantage that can unite

All the more so if the socialist manages to rally the ecologists with whom she has already "governed" for six years.

Antoine Maurice, the head of the EELV list, raised disagreements - on the extension of the seaport of Port-la-Nouvelle, the Toulouse-Castres motorway project or the Toulouse-Bordeaux LGV - but without irreparable animosity.

And, while the media José Bové already votes Delga, Antoine Maurice still has to have the choice because he flirts in the polls with the bar of 10% of the votes cast allowing a list to be maintained, or to threaten to do it.

Myriam Martin, for LFI, which was allied with EELV in 2015, must hang on to the 5% mark, opening up the possibility of a merger.

But Carole Delga seems this time to rule out the hypothesis.

Big game right and center

For the right and the center, a real rather aggressive rivalry animated the campaign between the candidate LR, the deputy of Lot Aurélien Pradié, and Vincent Terrail-Novès, the ex-LR mayor of Balma, now "transpartisan" but supported by the presidential majority and Agir. The two men compete for the support of local elected officials and national figures of the right and the center, with in the home stretch a big boost from the very popular Edouard Philippe to "VTN". The two young candidates are neck and neck in the polls (12% for Pradié and 11% for Terrail-Novès in the latest Ifop survey for

La Dépêche du Midi)

, both therefore in a position to maintain each other, causing a quadrangular.

Aurélien Pradié has already announced that he would never merge, "VTN", outgoing regional councilor, intends to maintain himself if he can.

Finally, three other heads of the list are in the running: Malena Adrada (LO) for the workers' camp, Jean-Luc Davezac with his Occitanist list and Anthony Le Boursicaud at the head of a citizen list.

More than 4 million Occitans are called to the polls this Sunday to draw the landscape of the second round.
