Former President Nicolas Sarkozy's Son Declares Intentions for Menton Municipal Election

In a significant development, Louis Sarkozy, son of former French President Nicolas Sarkozy, has declared an association for the financing of his electoral campaign for the municipal elections in Menton, France, scheduled for March 2026.

The declaration, made on August 19, 2022, in the Alpes-Maritimes prefecture, was published in the Official Journal of Associations on Tuesday, August 16. The object of the association is to serve as the mandatary for the financing of Louis Sarkozy's campaign for the municipal election in Menton.

This move by Louis Sarkozy comes after discreet meetings with local political leaders and declarations of love for the commune on social networks, suggesting preparations for a campaign launch. His decision to declare the association may be seen as a step towards his potential candidacy for the municipal election.

However, it's important to note that the declaration does not necessarily confirm his candidacy for the election. Louis Sarkozy has previously expressed interest in running for the municipal election, as reported in mid-April 2022.

Yves Juhel, the current LR mayor of Menton, will not run again for the municipal elections in March 2026. Two right-wing Menton councillors, Florent Champion (finance adjoint) and Sandra Paire (municipal and departmental councillor), are also running for the succession of Yves Juhel. A case of misappropriation of public funds has led to Yves Juhel's decision not to run again.

Louis Sarkozy could potentially obtain the LR party's investiture, considering he presided over the party from 2015 to 2016. However, the National Rally (RN) party has identified Menton as one of its targets for the March 2026 municipal elections, and the local RN deputy, Alexandra Masson, is identified as a significant adversary for Louis Sarkozy.

There are no available search results identifying the name of Louis Sarkozy's main political competitor for the municipal elections in Menton in March 2026. Louis Sarkozy may try to find a second-round agreement with his rival in the municipal elections.

Louis Sarkozy is also an editorialist for the far-right weekly Valeurs Actuelles. He has acquired a pied-à-terre in Menton and registered on the electoral lists, suggesting a potential campaign launch as early as September.

The National Rally has made it clear that Menton is one of their key targets for the upcoming municipal elections. The party's deputy, Alexandra Masson, could potentially be Louis Sarkozy's biggest adversary in the elections.

As the race for the municipal elections in Menton heats up, the stage is set for an interesting contest between Louis Sarkozy and his potential rivals. The elections in March 2026 promise to be a significant event in the political landscape of Menton.
