\u00c0 Pont-Saint-Esprit, le premier tour des municipales a livr\u00e9 un double message\u00a0: la prime au sortant et le rejet net de l\u2019extr\u00eame droite. Dimanche 15 mars, le maire Val\u00e8re Segal (R\u00e9ussir le Pont de demain) arrive largement en t\u00eate avec 41,16 % des suffrages. Derri\u00e8re, la bataille est plus ouverte\u00a0: Olivier Esquer (Pont en action) obtient 18,40%, suivi de Benjamin Desbrun (Rassembler pour agir, 16,45%) et Morad Hourfane (Le Pont que nous voulons, 13,22%). La participation atteint 56,58%, laissant encore une abstention lourde (43,42%) : un r\u00e9servoir d\u00e9cisif pour le second tour.<\/p>\n

Dans l\u2019entre-deux tours, le paysage s\u2019est rapidement clarifi\u00e9. Troisi\u00e8me, Desbrun a annonc\u00e9 son retrait, appelant \u00e0 \u00ab\u00a0faire barrage au maire sortant<\/i>\u00a0\u00bb, qu\u2019il accuse d\u2019enfumer les Spiripontains sur plusieurs dossiers, du futur coll\u00e8ge aux projets autour de l\u2019H\u00f4tel-Dieu. Sa sortie de route r\u00e9v\u00e8le un scrutin polaris\u00e9\u00a0: davantage qu\u2019un d\u00e9bat de fond, cette campagne a \u00e9t\u00e9 un affrontement de personnes et de r\u00e9cits.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

La s\u00e9quence la plus marquante reste l\u2019\u00e9chec cuisant d\u2019Aur\u00e9lie Delwarte. La candidate d\u2019Identit\u00e9 Libert\u00e9s, alli\u00e9e au RN, termine derni\u00e8re avec 10,77%. Un score qui actera son retrait du second tour, malgr\u00e9 sa qualification. Elle justifie ce d\u00e9sistement au nom de \u00ab\u00a0l\u2019int\u00e9r\u00eat de Pont-Saint-Esprit<\/i>\u00a0<\/i>\u00bb, tout en dressant un tableau anxiog\u00e8ne (ins\u00e9curit\u00e9, narcotrafic, fiscalit\u00e9) et, sans le dire, en orientant ses \u00e9lecteurs vers la liste Esquer. Un revers politique pour une candidature d\u00e9j\u00e0 plomb\u00e9e par ses proximit\u00e9s id\u00e9ologiques et ses controverses\u00a0: \u00e0 Pont-Saint-Esprit, la tentative de banalisation de l\u2019extr\u00eame droite n\u2019a pas pris.<\/p>\n

R\u00e9sultat\u00a0: une triangulaire dimanche 22\u00a0mars entre Segal, Esquer et Hourfane. Le maire sortant refuse toute fusion et joue la carte de la stabilit\u00e9. Olivier Esquer appelle \u00e0 la mobilisation, martelant que \u00ab\u00a058%<\/i>\u00a0\u00bb des votants n\u2019ont pas choisi Segal. Morad Hourfane, lui, persiste \u00ab\u00a0sans ralliement<\/i>\u00a0\u00bb, et tente de f\u00e9d\u00e9rer tous ceux qui ne se reconnaissent pas dans la majorit\u00e9 sortante.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"À Pont-Saint-Esprit, le premier tour des municipales a livré un double message : la prime au sortant et le rejet net de l’extrême droite.
