Lives and Livelihoods in the Languedoc-Roussillon 26: Basil Howitt closes Perpignan’s saga of the smelly socks. Fortunately last Sunday’s affair of the unsavoury armpits came to nothing, thanks to the punctilious voting procedures set up by The Seven Wise Men.
It is easy to identify with the sense of triumph this morning of 67-year-old Jean-Paul Alduy (UMP), re-elected yesterday for the fifth time as Perpignan’s only mayor in 16 years. As he preens himself (let us imagine) in front of his mirror, checking the roots of his hair, his quiff, and the tints of his eyebrows, he may even be feeling a trifle smug – and why not? Yesterday his nearest rival, Jacqueline Amiel-Donat, head of the liste Nouvelle Union de la Gauche (Socialist Party, French Communist Party, Radical Party of the Left, Citizen and Republican Movement, Democratic Convergence of Catalonia), trailed way behind him with a 33.08% share of the vote to his 53.54% - his highest ever count in any election. In third place came Jean Codognes and his liste Union pour Perpignan (divers gauche, Modem, Verts) with a 13.38% share.
