MP Éric Ciotti held a public meeting in Nice to castigate the tax and budgetary policy led by Mayor Christian Estrosi. The municipality had adopted in municipal council an increase in the property tax.

For more than a year, the parliamentarian has feared the next municipal elections in 2026 as the time of reckoning for the Nice taxpayer. After withdrawing in 2020, this time he thinks he has his card to play, writes Le Figaro's Michel Poirier. The battle of numbers takes on the start of the campaign for the municipal elections on France 3 this weekend, he writes. The MP promises that Nice will not take its current score away from its current parenthesis, Poirieri writes, adding that the moment of truth is not very long “The moment ofTruth is approaching in Nice,” he writes, “and it is not long enough”. The election of a new mayor will take place on May 7, 2014, in Nice.
