Anthony Brottier

Anthony Brottier is a centrist politician who recently won the municipal election in Poitiers, France. Previously identified as a Macron supporter, he ran as an independent in this election. He is newsworthy because he defeated the incumbent Green mayor, Léonore Moncond’huy, who had formed an alliance with LFI (La France Insoumise) and the PCF (French Communist Party). Despite trailing in the first round of voting, Brottier emerged victorious in the four-way race. His win is significant as it represents a major setback for the Green party, who suffered losses in several other cities, including Bordeaux, Besançon, Annecy, and Strasbourg. Brottier's victory is seen as part of a broader trend of electoral difficulties for the Green party in recent municipal elections.
