Municipales : à Lille, la guerre des gauches se profile

In Lille's municipal elections first round, incumbent successor Arnaud Deslandes leads LFI candidate Lahouaria Addouche by only 2.9 points, setting up a tight contest on the left. Green candidate Stéphane Baly received 17.75% and must now decide which camp to support in the second round. The result signals a fragmented left in one of France's major northern cities.
