Alexandre Garcin

Alexandre Garcin is the former mayor of Roubaix, a city in northern France. He is associated with the right-wing political spectrum ('divers droite'). Garcin's name appears in recent news due to his defeat in the 2026 municipal elections. He ran for re-election but was unsuccessful, losing to David Guiraud, a candidate from the left-wing La France Insoumise (LFI) party. According to reports, Garcin received only 25.55% of the vote, significantly behind Guiraud's 53.19%. His defeat marks a shift in political control in Roubaix, with LFI now holding the mayoral office. This election result is relevant as it reflects broader political trends and the changing dynamics within French municipalities.
