within the north of Marseille, between Samia Ghali and Sébastien Delogu, a cruel duel on the left | EUROtoday

“I can’t see that one. » At the podium of his meeting in mid-February, Sébastien Delogu, La France Insoumise (LFI) candidate for Marseille town hall, let his enmity for Samia Ghali boil over. The deputy whistles the former socialist senator from Bouches-du-Rhône, who won on 8^e sector in the three previous municipal elections, and now leads the Printemps marseillais list in this part of the north of the city.

“Samia Ghali, twenty-five years in office, twenty-five years lost for our neighborhoods and our families”, he snaps. “Friend of CRIF [Conseil représentatif des institutions juives de France]friend of Macron, she lives on public money, distinguished herself by calling the army into our neighborhoods as if our territory were a foreign colony. No need to get her dirty, she does it very well on her own”castigates Sébastien Delogu, calling on voters to “bring down this corrupt system”. The violent assault is meant as a response to the previous senator who, a number of days earlier, in an interview with the net media IlsfontMarseille.com, accused the MP of mendacity concerning the origins of his grandfather to higher seduce the voters with an immigrant background: “He says he was born in Algeria. Yes, but he was a settler. Why all this comedy? »

The reform of the electoral legislation now not makes victory within the sectors important to overcome Marseille. But, for Sébastien Delogu as for Samia Ghali, these 15^e and 16^e districts and their 90,000 inhabitants represent an important problem. Since 2008, the elected official, 57 years previous, has drawn her political legitimacy from her successes on this territory the place she grew up. The final one, in 2020, allowed him to impose an advantageous settlement on Printemps Marseille.
