On Friday, March 20, 2026, the newly elected officials of Perpignan will meet at Place de la Loge for the first municipal council of Louis Aliot’s second term. While the deputies will be appointed, their specific roles will not be assigned yet.
The first municipal council of Louis Aliot’s second term will take place this Friday, March 20, 2026 at 3 p.m. The 43 new members of the RN majority will take their seats, while 12 seats will be held by opposition members: 4 from the Place Publique list – Les Centristes of Agnès Langevine, 4 from the right and center list of Bruno Nougayrède, 2 from the Insoumis party represented by Mickaël Idrac, and 2 from the socialist party led by Mathias Blanc.
This Friday, Louis Aliot will appoint the new deputies, but not their specific responsibilities. He mentioned that eleven men and ten women will be entrusted with these roles in his new government. The RN Mayor of Perpignan plans to redistribute some responsibilities to ensure better allocation of roles. Some major areas like Culture will remain unchanged with Andrée Bonet retaining her domain. Neighborhood deputies Xavier Baudry (west) and Frédéric Gourrier (south), close to Louis Aliot from the FN to RN for a long time, are expected to retain their sectors as well.
Apart from profiles, Louis Aliot aims to make changes in the responsibilities themselves for his new term. He emphasized adapting the responsibilities to the 43 members of the majority. This includes potentially creating new roles and dividing existing ones to avoid overburdening certain deputies. The example of Frédéric Guillaumon, who ended up with 14 responsibilities at the end of the first term, serves as a notable case.
Context:
Louis Aliot is planning to redistribute responsibilities among the deputies in Perpignan for a more effective governance structure.
Fact Check:
Louis Aliot is the Mayor of Perpignan representing the RN party.
