The right-wing candidate who said “stop the war on cars” was defeated.
The leftist who said “My goal is to make sure Grégoire loses” was defeated

My take is that billionaires and large companies don’t put as much money (proportionally) in municipal elections as they do in country elections. When real people vote, you get Gregoire or Mamdani.
Munich with their new major also had a win in this direction just now. I do think that local policies likely are more important anyway for at least traffic policies.
It’s wayyyy too close either way.
A ten percent lead city wide in these conditions is still considered a spanking.
Against Rachida Dati? Hmmm, a rock would have been a better candidate IMO.
SO relieved though… 😅😅😅
