Patricia Tordjman (PCF) announced her resignation in a letter to the population on February 8. Fatah Aggoune was elected by the municipal council to succeed her.

“I have a bit of the feeling of having married this city,” she jokes, having lived with her for forty-one years, ‘for better and for worse’ She discreetly wiped her eyes when the results were announced, under the ululations, whistles and applause.
