Véronique Sarselli

Véronique Sarselli is a right-wing politician (LR) who has gained prominence after her party's victory in the recent elections for the Lyon metropolitan area. This victory is significant because it creates a cohabitation situation in Lyon, where the city itself remains under the leadership of the Green party's Grégory Doucet, while the larger metropolitan area will be governed by Sarselli's right-wing coalition. This division of power is unprecedented in Lyon and raises questions about how the city and the metropolitan area will coordinate on key issues such as mobility, urban planning, and logistics. Sarselli's role as the leader of the metropolitan area makes her a key figure in navigating this new political landscape, requiring her to find compromises with the city's Green leadership.
