Strasbourg, my love. Barely put away the big Christmas tree in Place Kléber, the festivities around Valentine's Day begin, with red balloons in the shape of hearts and a marquee which houses "the coffee of love" . A romantic atmosphere a hundred leagues from the countryside - under tension - from the municipal authorities. With a first round that has never been so uncertain. Neither Roland Ries, 75, outgoing mayor of the left, nor his best enemy since 2001 Fabienne Keller, ex-Senator LR, elected European deputy Agir, will not be in the game. On the other hand, the former PS minister and mayor, Catherine Trautmann, 69, is relaunching herself in the battle to save the PS. "I am unable to say who will be the next mayor of Strasbourg," laments Ries, saying that "nothing is set in stone."
