Lyon leader and metropolitan councilor (LR) Christophe Marguin affirmed on Monday, May 12, that he supports the likely candidacy of Jean-Michel Aulas. " Lyon deserves a large-scale project, beyond parties, petty calculations, and labels ," wrote the head of the Toques Blanches Lyonnaises on the social network X.
Like Christophe Marguin, LR representative Béatrice de Montille has chosen to support JMA's candidacy, to the detriment of Pierre Oliver, mayor of the 2nd arrondissement. This is also the case for Lyon minister François-Noël Buffet and the mayor of Saint-Priest Gilles Gascon .
