In Strasbourg, the second-round campaign is becoming increasingly tense between the main candidates. The incumbent Green mayor, Jeanne Barseghian, allied with La France Insoumise, claims to embody the "true left" in opposition to Catherine Trautmann, who is pursuing a different alliance strategy.
Having finished third in the first round, Jeanne Barseghian is attempting to revive her momentum through an alliance with La France Insoumise. Meanwhile, Catherine Trautmann, leading the polls ahead of the right wing, has moved closer to the center, drawing criticism even from within her own political camp.
A divided left facing an uncertain three-way race
The second round now pits three distinct blocs against each other, with the presence of the Les Républicains candidate Jean-Philippe Vetter also included. This configuration makes the outcome of the election particularly open.
In this context, each candidate is seeking to broaden her electoral base by appealing to different voters. Between contested alliances and internal rivalries within the left, the mayoral race promises to be unpredictable until the very last moment.
