“All those who will share my approach and my values, for example in voting the budgets of the city and the agglomeration This year will be welcome to participate in the broad gathering that I will conduct. ” Of course, Philippe Marini does not quote Daniel Leca. But this message on Facebook seems directly addressed to his opponent, a year before the Municipal 2026. It looks like a ultimatum.
Opposed in 2020, the two men could agree next year. At least that is what observers of compiégnoise political life are expected. Mayor since 1987, Philippe Marini said that he was leaving for a tour of his succession in January 2024. The idea was that Philippe Marini (LR) joined Daniel Leca (UDI) on his next list, in order to pass his hand Course of the next mandate (in the event of a victory).
This hypothesis has become possible, even concrete, when Philippe Marini accepted Daniel Leca’s invitation to his greeting ceremony in January. And even more when, in April, Daniel Leca abstained on the budget, instead of voting against. “We have commitments in this budget that we have made in this campaign and which are held by you,” explained Daniel Leca. So I can’t oppose. I will offer my colleagues, not, to vote the budget, but to abstain. For the first time since the start of the mandate. I think it will all come true. ” This was considered an additional step towards Philippe Marini.
To be with Philippe Marini, it will be necessary to vote in favor of his budget
In April 2025, Philippe Marini will ask more. To fly away with him towards triumphant tomorrows, it will be necessary to vote in favor of the budget.
But a year after wishes in common, the situation changed. Daniel Leca was not at Philippe Marini’s ceremony, when he announced that he would leave for a complete mandate. No question of handing over, therefore. “Great good doing him, but this announcement does not change anything about me,” said the opponent. I am a candidate to become mayor of Compiègne. And I will clearly repeat it to my greeting ceremony. ” A ceremony organized on Saturday January 25 at the Maison de l’Europe, rue Saint-Lazare.
It is therefore no longer the era of rapprochement, but that of distance. This particularly grieves Eric de Valroger, assistant to the security of Compiègne, recently passed to the UDI. “I remain in favor of an alliance between Philippe Marini and Daniel Leca, to prepare for the future.”
“I will naturally take all my responsibilities to achieve this gathering,” concludes Philippe Marini. And to organize the necessary transitions when the time comes. Until then, there is a lot to do. ”
