Jean-Laurent Félizia, the candidate of the social and ecological gathering in the regional elections in Paca (15% of the vote), announced that he wanted to stay in the second round.
This position creates an uncertain triangular in a second round where Thierry Mariani (RN), Renaud Muselier (LR) and therefore Jean-Laurent Félizia would face each other.

The first secretary of the Socialist Party Olivier Faure, "solemnly implored" the candidate of the rally of the left in Paca (EELV - PS - PC) to withdraw his candidacy, considering that "no risk can be taken in the face of the extreme right ”.
I solemnly call for removal from the list led by @FeliziaJean.
No risk can be taken against the far right.

Jean-David Ciot, former First Secretary of the Socialist Party of Bouches-du-Rhône and mayor of Puy-Sainte-Reparade, for his part considered that after "an honorable score", the hour was "gathering of all progressives and not to political calculations ”.
Benoît Payan, the PS mayor of Marseille, also spoke, in a less explicit manner, however.
"We cannot resign ourselves to our region sinking into the grim dead end of the RN," he declared in the evening.
If there is the slightest risk that our Region will fall into the hands of the extreme right, we will have to be where duty demands.
