Louis Aliot has been the first RN departmental adviser in the Pyrénées-Orientales since Sunday.

The mayor of Perpignan has indeed won the partial departmental election in the canton of Perpignan-Canohès with 53.53% of the votes cast.

In the second round of this election, Louis Aliot and his partner Carla Muti, municipal councilor in Canohès, beat the various right-wing duo of Jean-Louis Chambon and Florence Micolau (46.47%).

On the other hand, participation only reached 23.98% of those registered.

Louis Aliot notes the "very low participation"

The mayor of Perpignan said he was “satisfied with the result”, while adding: “Now we still have to keep reason.

There is a very low turnout."

In the first round, on November 27, participation had reached 21.63%.

With 44.07% of the votes cast, Louis Aliot and Carla Muti had already beaten Jean-Louis Chambon and Florence Micolau (27.63%).

With 26.36% of the vote, the outgoing departmental councilor, Mathias Blanc (PS), had been eliminated, before calling "to vote Chambon to beat Aliot".

In May 2021, in this 5th canton of Perpignan-Canohès, the PS pair won in the second round with 51% of the votes, but less than a hundred more than that of the RN (49%).

The Council of State then invalidated the election because of the ineligibility of the candidate of the party of Marine Le Pen, a former customs official.

The party now led by Jordan Bardella, who took over the presidency by beating Louis Aliot in early November, thus continues to anchor itself in a department of which it holds the main city, as well as the four seats of deputy since the legislative elections in June.

For Louis Aliot, this victory “gives an indication.

This is the first time that the RN has entered the departmental council and it has symbolic value for the future.

However, despite the defeat of the outgoing councillor, socialists and communists will retain control of the departmental assembly.
