The population will know that the left exists and that it aims to win the city, enthuses Georges. Tonight is positive, it’s an important step but only a step », he recalls. In the back room of the Harmony Circle, the fifty or so citizens present have just agreed on the name of the head of the Spring of Aubagnais list. The choice was not very difficult, since only one candidate presented himself: Jean-Pierre Squillari. But this candidacy could have sparked debate. It was approved unanimously. With happiness even. The ecologist David Chiousse says he has “ felt a moment of truth and it’s rare in politics ». After Jean-Pierre Squillari presented his candidacy, Dominique Benassaya-Nivet, opposition municipal councilor (Ecologist Citizen Alternative), said to himself “ confident because Jean-Pierre Squillari shows deep humanity and great knowledge of the city. And he has a group around him with great ethics and a desire to move forward. ».
“Gasay disfigures the city”
Jean-Pierre Squillari, 72 years old, one of the three initiators two years ago, with Maurice Marsiglia and Jean-Luc Dimitri, of what has today become the Printemps des Aubagnais, stated with great sincerity what motivated him to “ go into this mess », he confided with humor. This Aubagnais, who notably directed the Aubagne fire rescue center from 1999 to 2010, recalled that “ as a firefighter I fought tooth and nail to preserve every ounce of hill and then Gazay concreted ». Jean-Pierre Squillari makes no secret of it: “ I want to expel Gérard Gazay because he is an impostor. He doesn’t like his city, because he disfigures it. It makes him lose his soul. » If on Tuesday in the room, the public qualified him as « top of the list », he introduced himself as « leader of the citizen list and gathering of the left and environmentalists for the 2026 municipal elections ». He insisted that « nothing can be done without the support of left-wing political parties and ecologists. Everyone has their own calendar but the weeks go by. In Aubagne, the right is divided, but it will have no qualms about allying itself with the devil [le RN, Ndlr.]. We must ally ourselves. We all have the same belief and the same goal “. The head of the list and an outline of the program will be presented at the end of January during greetings to the Aubagnais.
