Marseille Mayoral Race Deadlocked as RN’s Allisio Calls for Right Unity

A new poll shows a dead heat with Benoît Payan, signaling a potential RN path in a four-way runoff.

Overview

  • An OpinionWay survey for CNews, Europe 1 and Le JDD puts Benoît Payan and Franck Allisio at 34% each, with Martine Vassal and LFI’s Sébastien Delogu around 14%.
  • Modeling from the same poll indicates the RN could prevail in a second round featuring four lists, a scenario viewed as plausible in Marseille.
  • At a press conference, Allisio outlined a 100‑day plan including major municipal police recruitment, daily rapid‑clean teams, a pledge of no tax hikes and a dual financial and land audit.
  • He promoted a contentious access pass limiting some parks and beaches to families with children and seniors, saying legal experts reviewed the proposal.
  • On Friday he urged the broader right to rally behind his bid, arguing only his list can defeat the left with about two weeks remaining before the first round.
