Lyon municipal elections: Jean-Michel Aulas contests his defeat and files an appeal

On Monday morning, Entrevue reviews the results of the municipal elections and the main lessons learned from the vote across the cities of France.

In Lyon, independent centrist candidate Jean-Michel Aulas is contesting his defeat to incumbent Green mayor Grégory Doucet, who was re-elected with 50,67% of the vote. The margin of approximately 1,500 votes is considered too narrow by the former president of Olympique Lyonnais, who has announced he has filed an appeal citing "numerous irregularities" in the election.
