00:00En most of the French town halls, well the outcome of the first round of the local election is clear,
00:08about two thirds of them should have elected a mayor by a Sunday night, often because there was little to
00:16no competition.
00:17Pero en major cities, la batalla permanece open
00:20y podría llevar a un alto riesgo next Sunday.
00:25En París, polls show el candidato social Emmanuel Grégoire
00:30ahead of conservative candidato Rachida Dati
00:33durante esta primera round.
00:36En otras major cities, como Marseille y Lyon,
00:39el top candidato ahora está en la cabeza en la primera round.
00:44So that means that in these cities, well, alliances will be crucial
00:48before next Sunday.
00:51And some political leaders have already set red lines.
00:56For example, French President Emmanuel Macron's Renaissance Party,
01:00as well as Olivier Faure, the leader of the Socialist Party,
01:04have all excluded any alliance with the hard-left France Unbowed.
01:10Meanwhile, the hard-left France Unbowed Party
01:13is calling for left-wing unity in cities
01:16where the right or the far-right could win.
01:19The second round will take place next Sunday,
01:22deciding control of the city halls across France
01:26with national implications ahead
01:29of the country's presidential election next year.
