The results, rather unfavorable to the executive, offered a red, pink and green areopagus which delighted most of the largest cities in France.

Friday, July 3, 2020, the 1 p.m. newspaper France 2 has also devoted a subject to this "third round" organized within certain municipal councils. Nathanaël de Rincquesen thus announces the "re-election of Anne Hidalgo in Paris, that of Jean-Luc Moudenc in Toulouse, Johanna Rolland in Nantes and Pierre Hurmic in Bordeaux …".

Nathanaël de Rincquesen apologize
Indeed, the images broadcast at the time of quoting Jean-Luc Moudenc, freshly re-elected in Toulouse, were not those of the mayor LR but those of his opponent, the environmental candidate Antoine Maurice.

The error could have gone unnoticed, but the channel, via its presenter, hastened to rectify it a few moments later. "Small corrigendum. We spoke a few moments ago of the elections in the municipal councils. And speaking of the re-election of Jean-Luc Moudenc in Toulouse, well we have shown the images of his opponent. There, our apologies to Jean-Luc Moudenc " clarified Nathanaël de Rincquesen.
