Supported by the government, the reform of the municipal election in Paris, Lyon and Marseilles struggles to convince the senators. Studyed at the Palais du Luxembourg on Tuesday, it could be largely rejected, one year from the municipalities.
Unless surprised, the text should be rejected by the senators, but the supporters of the reform remain hopeful that it will be adopted, if necessary with the last word of the National Assembly.

After this Senate vote, the government has several options: to convene a joint joint committee or to decide to give the final word to the National Assembly.
Is it necessary to change the method of municipal elections in Paris, Lyon and Marseille? Unlike other French municipalities, there is no single list in these cities: each district has its own list.
Rejected in committee on May 21, the text is submitted this Tuesday, June 3, for consideration by senators, notoriously hostile to the reform of the so-called PLM law.
The right is hostile to it, the vast majority of the left too, and even the central bloc struggles to find its way into it: the proposal for a law of macronist origin is likely to be largely disavowed during the debates, which will begin in the afternoon at the Palais du Luxembourg.
