Rennes: what the alliance of opponents of Nathalie Appéré is hiding

Formally, this isn’t the information a couple of tandem within the municipal elections of 2026. Too early to speak about it.

To create a bunch, elected officers should come from two completely different cities, which was not the case for the Macronists, all from Rennes. Nevertheless, with no group, there is no such thing as a price range to rent a colleague and no proper to take a seat in sure metropolitan teams.

United? Sure, however…

Amongst them: the long run “evaluation and intelligence mission” of the Villejean launcher, requested by the host. Explosive difficulty: building website suspended from March 2023, monetary slippage, tax improve, judicial expertise with vitriol towards the alternatives of the Metropolis … , but additionally on the problem of the metro,” says Carole Gandon. “It’s pure that we work collectively as a result of we’re near materials points. »

The winner of the precise and the middle in 2020, he has been the consultant of Rennes for Horizons, the occasion of the previous Prime Minister Édouard Philippe. Logical, due to this fact, that he will get nearer to the historic Macronists. Considered one of them was even an worker of her group for a time. Till a ticket is created in 2026? “We’re not there but. Let’s examine how our groups go. » A method of not saying sure… With out closing the door.

LRs see crimson

In any case, discussions had been happening for a number of months, Charles Compagnon confides. Now official, this rapprochement has a value for Rennes’ elected official. His former mates from LR withdrew their assist from him. And a reference, concerning this alliance, “lack of respect for the guarantees made in 2020 to the voters (…)”. sentence signed by Thomas Rousseau, which launched his Rennes motion on the precisebelieving that his facet was not represented.

United with town however… Lack of consistency? Perhaps. Pragmatism appears to have received out. Not like town, one group within the metropolis council can be punished, by halving the talking time within the conventional freedom. And this, with out giving them further monetary assets.
