RN Candidate Bryan Masson Aims to Unseat Cagnes-sur-Mer Mayor in 2026 Elections

In Cagnes-sur-Mer, the 2026 municipal elections are heating up as Bryan Masson, a 28-year-old candidate representing the National Rally (RN), takes on long-time incumbent mayor Louis Nègre of the Les Républicains party. Masson, who recently secured re-election as a deputy, publicly announced his intention to run, advocating for a change after Nègre's 30-year tenure in office. He stated, "30 years is enough, democracy needs renewal," highlighting a widespread desire among voters for new leadership and clear agendas.

The political landscape is shifting, with Masson's campaign emphasizing local issues. A central point of his platform is enhancing security measures in Cagnes-sur-Mer, arguing current initiatives are insufficient for the town’s population of 52,000. He has committed to increasing night-time policing and improving public management of parking as well as investments in sports facilities. Additionally, he plans to address a controversial mosque project, opposing Nègre's support due to community concerns about its proximity to a school.

Masson aims to unify various right-wing factions to strengthen the RN’s electoral position against Nègre, promoting a collaborative approach among opposition parties. As Cagnes-sur-Mer gears up for the elections, Masson’s candidacy appears to encapsulate a broader sentiment for political change in the region.
