“In 2026, I will need you! launched this Saturday afternoon Jean-Luc Moudenc to 800 of his supporters gathered in the Mermoz room. The mayor of Toulouse no longer hides his ambition for the next municipal elections.
For those who doubted it, this time things are clear. In front of more than 800 supporters gathered this Saturday afternoon in the Mermoz room by his association “For Toulouse”, during the traditional galette des rois which had not been held since the Covid and therefore since the start of the mandate, Jean-Luc Moudenc has taken another step towards a new candidacy for the Capitol during the next municipal elections which will take place in three years. “In 2026, I will need you! “, he launched to his audience at the end of his speech, urging his supporters to “keep the fighting spirit”.
In front of the municipal team seated in the front row, the mayor of Toulouse, standing on a central stage, first took stock of his action since 2020. A balance sheet has been automatically broken down for some time into three points: security, mobility with the project for the 3rd metro line, the construction of which is restarting, and the LGV, and quality of life, with the greening of the Ile du Ramier, the pedestrianization of the rue de Metz, etc.
Then, addressing more particularly all those who, during the campaigns, wet the shirt by distributing leaflets to Toulouse residents, he returned to the municipal elections of 2020, in particular the meeting of January 16 organized in this same room. That night, he throws a formula that has remained famous by qualifying its Archipelago competitors as a “watermelon”: “green on the outside to seduce, red on the inside to punish. “Because for the Jean-Luc Moudenc of 2020 as of 2023 – he repeated it: “you have to be aware of the danger. The danger is the extreme left. »
This formula, he revealed, he regretted: “It made us laugh. And we all went to the campaign telling ourselves that it would be easy. But the evening of the first round, on a well seen that it was tangent. »
” We have to fight ! »
For the tenant of the Capitol, which mainly targets La France insoumise, “the far left is still there” and, in 2026, “we will have the same people opposite. Faced with this opponent, Jean-Luc Moudenc is already calling for mobilization. Because “it’s not because we have a good record that it’s won. We have to fight ! »
In June 2021, during the legislative elections, during a meeting in front of his elected officials, he had already said that it would be necessary to “reckon with him in 2026by affirming its desire to “finish the job” on three major issues: 3rd line, LGV and Ile du Ramier. A few months from mid-term, while four Nupes deputies, including three LFI, were elected in Toulouse, Jean-Luc Moudenc no longer hides his desire to discover it again.
