On the night of Sunday to Monday, on the eve of Emmanuel Macron’s arrival in Marseille, posters suddenly bloomed on the walls of the city. A photo of the head of state speaking at the Pharo, flocked with the words “the president of all Marseillais”. This collage is the work of Renaissance activists from the Bouches-du-Rhône, anxious to remember that the plan for the Marseille city is him. Understand implicitly: not the town hall. No one will admit it so frankly, but the shadow of the 2026 municipal elections hovers over “Marseille en grande” whose Head of State has come to launch Act II.
