Montauban. Stone Mardegan withdraws, duel Barèges-Hilion in the second round

Dr. Peter Mardegan, which was supported by LREM in the first round of municipal elections in Montauban throws in the towel. Qualified in spite of a very disappointing 10,87 % far behind Brigitte Barèges, mayor LR outbound (46,28 %) and the socialist Arnaud Hilion (29,28 %), the boss of the emergency department of the hospital of Montauban has let go of a case to a bad on board.

“In view of the result of the poll, the Montalbanais have chosen the bipolar world of old, writes Peter Mardegan. We have taken note of. This is why, my colistiers and myself have decided to withdraw from the second round of the municipal election, without deposit to vote. The idea here is to let each voter make his decision according to his own conviction and his own conscience.” Not set to vote, so…

“This decision is imposed after having considered the tracks of the union… They could not frustrated by the devices of historical policies in place. However, we want to do politics differently, without alliance against nature, as we have seen in the past, Montauban and the Tarn-et-Garonne”, note Stone Mardegan, who suffered his second defeat after the parliamentary elections in 2017.

Yesterday, Arnaud Hilion has taken note of the withdrawal of Peter Mardegan : “I welcome this decision worthy and responsible, which is never easy to take, note the leader of the Alternative for Montauban.

Now things are clear : with my team, renewed and dynamic, I represent the only alternative to Montauban, progressive, ecological and social”.

Arnaud Hilion, which has submitted its list of second round yesterday at the prefecture, “calls on the voters who have had enough of the old practices, which aspire to a change which is resolutely turned towards the future, which place human beings at the heart of public policies, to gather around our program.

We are going through a health crisis without precedent, which brings in its wake an economic and social crisis. Our program meets a very large part to the major challenges that we will face in the next few months, now more than ever, it is essential to place the interest of the citizen and the taxpayer at the centre of discussions between the various decision makers in the same area : we need to stop the bickering politicians sterile. I know how to talk and work with all people of good will”. Brigitte Barèges had not responded last night to the withdrawal of his best opponent…

The Montalbanais will therefore have to decide between Brigitte Barèges and Arnaud Hilion, June 28. A good old fashioned duel left – right, sum.
