Overview
- La France insoumise formally invested the Bouches‑du‑Rhône deputy on November 16 and gathered activists in Belle‑de‑Mai to set campaign strategy, with a full program to be unveiled later.
- Delogu frames his run as a push to “bring the people back to power,” accusing the current city leadership of favoritism and clientelism and signaling an autonomous first round with openness to a left alliance in round two.
- The campaign announced a local alliance with Vaï, the eco‑citizen collective led by deputy mayor Sébastien Barles, and received support from Aymeric Caron’s party REV.
- A cited poll puts Delogu at about 16% in first‑round intentions, trailing Benoît Payan’s left bloc and RN candidate Franck Allisio at around 29% and center‑right contender Martine Vassal at roughly 23%.
- The LFI list is set to emphasize housing, health and the ecological emergency, while Delogu’s profile and past issues—including a 2023 conviction and a recent police report over an alleged intimidating message—are likely to draw scrutiny.
