The second round of municipal elections is the first post-Covid-19 electoral test. Main issue: bringing the French to the polls despite the persistent concern over the health situation in the country. More than three months after the disputed first round was held on March 15, the vote will take place in 4,820 municipalities where municipal councils have not been fully elected. In Guyana, however, the poll was again postponed in Guyana, where the situation remains, according to the government, “extremely worrying”. Election took place at a minimum, without the handshakes and proximity inherent in this election. This creates additional uncertainty. In several large cities, victory will have a highly symbolic value and will focus attention. Advantage Anne Hidalgo in Paris, where the outgoing socialist mayor allied with environmentalists shows a comfortable lead in the polls on his rivals LR and macronist. A change of generations expected, however, in Lyon, Strasbourg or Marseille, where the ecologist Michèle Rubirola, at the head of a union of the left, can end 25 years of domination by the right. But the election promises to be as tight in Bordeaux, Toulouse or Lille, and unpredictable in Montpellier. Discover all our articles to understand the challenges of this second round.
