The Prado-Plage School (8 e ), in the heart of the most cases of Marseille, welcomes three polling stations. Here, the Republican, local as national right, has long realized its best Marseille scores. As if to give the example in a ballot where he dreads a strong abstention, Renaud Muserier arrived early, at the opening of the offices, in shirt and without tie, dialogue to the phone with his mother.

Like the other former leading leaders of the Southeast Republicans (LR), the President of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region has been asserted for a few months as a support from the outgoing President. He recognizes that locally the anti-macron feeling is strong, but he is confident: “We must relativize this feeling. My clear choices have led me to be elected to the regional with 14% advance, recalls-T. -It. Voters vote for the most effective, not for the most friendly. “

” Stop doing spoiled children “

The conversion of the leaders of the local right to the presidential camp help the outgoing to do better than in 2017 to Marseille, where he had arrived third, far behind Jean-Luc Mélenchon and Marine the Pen?

Like other voters crossed there in the morning, he says herself high and “Zemmour vote”, but recognizes that he could have “leached to a candidate like Eric Ciotti”.

Philippe Fayolle, inserted LR, regrets him, the choices of the old figures of his party. “Me, I remain faithful to my training,” says this former post-retired post that says they have not been seduced by the mandate that ends. “The president thinks he eliminated the right as he eliminated the left. And as there are no more parties, everything happens in the street. And there we have seen that his means of resistance [were] weak, “he regrets. “We have to be consistent, there are the legislative losses. How will they do?” Does it also notice.

Michelle Muller, 67, is a follower of this idea of ​​exceeding the barriers between right and left. She has joined the concept carried by Emmanuel Macron since 2017. “I am rather satisfied with this term. The French should look at what’s going on around them and stop doing spoiled children,” she judges.
