MUNICIPALS – When it doesn’t, it doesn’t! Agnes Buzyn failed to obtain enough votes to become a consultant Paris, AFP learned Sunday evening from concordant sources after the results of the second round of municipal elections.
Agnès Buzyn “will not be on the Paris Council, she will be a borough councilor and will sit alone,” said Geoffroy Boulard, the outgoing mayor of the 17th arrondissement, where the candidate from La République en Marche was at the top of the list.
In this district, the former Minister of Health ends the race largely outstripped by the outgoing mayor LR Geoffroy Boulard with almost 56% of the votes this Sunday according to The Parisian. The leader LREM finishes after the socialist Karen Taïeb (31.05%) with only 13.02% of the votes.
The leader LREM thus fails to be part of the deliberative assembly of the capital. A final snub for the end of a disastrous campaign for the presidential party. In recent months in Paris, LREM has had to suffer the dissidence of Cédric Villani, the explosion in flight of the campaign by Benjamin Griveaux after the dissemination of intimate videos, then the blunders and hesitations of his replacement, weakened by his explosive remarks about the “masquerade” of the first round, against the backdrop of an epidemic of coronavirus.
At the same time on social networks, there is a broadcast on the air during this election night which seems particularly missed. Broadcast by a former communications advisor to Anne Hidalgo, the sequence is accompanied by a brief comment: “his campaign will have been sad until the end”.

Villani too
Agnès Buzyn shares this avania with Cédric Villani. The dissident candidate of LREM either failed to be elected to the Council of Paris he confirmed to AFP this Sunday night.
At the head of the list in the 14th arrondissement, the mathematician finishes fourth, just behind the LREM list where Marlène Schiappa appears. Like Agnes Buzyn, he will have to be content with the role of borough councilor.
