Arnaud Petit

Arnaud Petit is the mayor of Woincourt, a small town in the Somme region of France, known for its communist stronghold. At 49 years old, he has expressed concern over the declining influence of the left in the area, especially in light of recent actions by the far-right Rassemblement National party, which seek to assert their presence in traditionally left-leaning territories. His leadership comes at a challenging time as the local communist party faces dwindling support and an aging membership.
