Overview

  • Louis Boyard, who lost the February 2025 municipal election in Villeneuve-Saint-Georges, now faces isolation in the council after five of his seven former colistiers broke away.
  • The new group, 'Dignité et Solidarité,' is led by Mamadou Traoré and includes Mohamed Ben Yakhlef, Juliette Gbagbo, Alpha Camara, and Insaf Chebâane.
  • Boyard and his ally Fadwa Sadak are unable to form their own group due to council rules requiring a minimum of three members.
  • The formation of 'Dignité et Solidarité' is aimed at restructuring the left-wing opposition and preparing for the 2026 municipal and departmental elections.
  • Louis Boyard denies being 'evicted' from a group, stating that no formal political group existed before the split.
