Seine-Saint-Denis: six cities turn right


HISTORICAL. Three PCF strongholds submerged by the blue wave (read below), but also Aulnay-sous-Bois and Villepinte, lost by the UMP in 2008 and returning to the fold of the right, or, more unexpectedly, the victory of the young Pierre-Yves Martin, 33, at the head of a coalition with the UDI, against Alain Calmat (DVG) who expected to get a 4emandat in Livry-Gargan.

Last night, the senator-mayor (UMP) of the Pavillons-sous-Bois, Philippe Dallier jubilant alongside Bruno Beschizza, new baron of the right in Seine-Saint-Denis. “It’s historic, even in 1983 we had never seen such a victory! PS and PC are in the middle of a debacle! Trumpets the parliamentarian who is already eyeing the presidency of Grand Paris in 2016.

The election took on the appearance of a big mess

For the President (PS) of the General Council, Stéphane Troussel, “the result of these municipal elections sounds like a severe warning against the government and the President of the Republic”. He believes that it is “urgent to give clear signs to citizens”. The PCF leader in the department, Hervé Bramy, remained unreachable last night.

Throughout the department, the election takes on the appearance of a big mess: ten outgoing mayors were beaten, including Eric Raoult (UMP) in Raincy or Raymond Coënne (UMP) in Coubron, both beaten by dissidents of right. The Communists, who lost three cities, still gained two: Montreuil, the former green, and Aubervilliers, the former PS.
