"Nothing is played" in Provence-Alpes-Côte-d'Azur, launched this Monday the candidate of the National Rally (RN) Thierry Mariani who came first in the first round but less widely than expected against the outgoing president Les Républicains Renaud Muselier in a region with a triangular shape.

The candidate of the Ecological and Social Rally (16.89%), Jean-Laurent Felizia, announced Sunday evening to stay in the second round, against the advice of the parties in Paris including EELV which threatens to exclude him.

"We are surprised and disappointed by the abstainers (...) and it seems that there are many of our popular electorate who did not come," said Thierry Mariani this Monday morning, in front of an orange juice squeezed on a terrace of the Old Port of Marseille.

Outstretched Hand to Standing France

Nevertheless, "there are 4.5 points of difference" between his list which is in the lead (36.38%) and the LR Renaud Muselier (31.91%), "the only outgoing president who does not arrive at the top in his region, ”remarked the ex-minister of Nicolas Sarkozy, who went to the extreme right.

Before leaving for the campaign in the Var, he reached out to the voters of Debout La France, who recorded 2.70% of the vote, not enough to merge their list. "We are looking at what will do the list of (Nicolas) Dupont-Aignan (...) he should call to vote clearly for us," he added. Sunday evening, the candidate for this training, Noël Chuisano, refused to give any instructions for a hot vote, according to the daily

La Provence

. His team was to meet this Monday, "but I do not see what we can give as instructions," added Noël Chuisano.

For Thierry Mariani, the maintenance of the ecologist Jean-Laurent Félizia "is good news for democracy".

"The goal of French policy is not to block someone".

For his part, Renaud Muselier traveling to Marignane on the theme of aeronautics considered that Jean-Laurent Felizia “had always said that he would take his responsibilities if there was an RN risk.

And there is a real risk ”.

"It becomes a personal adventure, it is no longer a political process," he said.
