Toulouse: after the legislative elections, the arrival of a socialist on the municipal council?
If elected deputy, François Piquemal plans to resign from the Toulouse city council.
He does not say it yet, especially since it will amount to attributing victory to himself. New People’s Ecological and Social Union candidate, after having supported Jean-Luc Mélenchon in the presidential election, François Piquemal should resign from the Toulouse city council in the event of an election in the 4th district. The law does not oblige him to do this since he sits on the benches of the opposition, but he corresponds to the commitment of non-cumulation made with the Citizen Archipelago list. A commitment from which Caroline Honvault, municipal councilor Archipel, had freed herself by becoming a departmental councillor.
This departure, if it materializes, will have the consequence of bringing into the municipal council the seventeenth candidate from the Archipelago list, François Briançon (PS). Which slightly changed the balance of forces by allowing the two elected PS associated with the elected PCF of a former group. And to gain, with speaking time, a little more presence.
With the score of 38.7% achieved by Mélenchon in the 4, François Piquemal is widely preferred.
