On his arrival this Saturday morning at the town hall, the candidate of the Spring marseilles was greeted by the cheers of his supporters : “We voted, we want the keys ! “But, despite its lead of some 13,000 votes on the candidate LR Martine Vassal, Michele Rubirola was not assured of being elected mayor, not having obtained the absolute majority in the evening of the second round.
It is thus at the end of a third round of hectic, that it has won the support of 51 elected – he was 47. A victory that this doctor, almost a novice in politics, must, before all, Samia Ghali. The two women eventually agreed in extremis.
