The BEACHfront(海滨区域) in Nice is a spot for admiring the self as much as the sea. Biceps are big; dogs are tiny. Superyachts float in the bay. In short, not an obvious place to stir up(激起（情绪）) populist indignation(民粹主义愤怒). Yet in March France’s fifth-biggest city was captured by a party allied to Marine Le Pen(玛丽娜·勒庞（法国极右翼领导人）)’s National Rally (RN), making it her biggest prize yet. Nice hints at how the nationalist right is conquering the south of France—and how it hopes, at the presidential election next April, to win the country.(尼斯暗示了民族主义右翼是如何征服法国南部的——以及它如何希望，在明年四月的总统选举中，赢得整个国家。)
尼斯的海滨是一个既能欣赏大海也能欣赏自我的地方。二头肌发达，宠物狗娇小。超级游艇漂浮在海湾中。简而言之，这里不是一个容易激起民粹主义愤怒的地方。然而，今年3月，法国第五大城市被一个与玛丽娜·勒庞的国民联盟（RN）结盟的政党夺取，成为她迄今为止最大的战利品。尼斯暗示了民族主义右翼如何征服法国南部——以及它如何希望，在明年四月的总统选举中赢得整个国家。
At this year’s local elections most big cities were won or held by the left or greens. Some in the south narrowly(勉强地) resisted the RN, including Marseille and Toulon(马赛和土伦（法国南部城市）). Nice was a crucial(关键的) victory for the nationalist right because of both its size and location. The RN and its friends now run mid-sized town halls in a wide band of southern France that includes Beaucaire, Carpentras and Orange in Provence, Menton on the Riviera, and Carcassonne and Perpignan in the south-west.
在今年地方选举中，大多数大城市被左派或绿党赢得或保住。南方一些城市勉强抵抗了RN，包括马赛和土伦。尼斯对民族主义右翼来说是一次关键胜利，既因为其规模也因其位置。RN及其盟友现在掌管着法国南部广袤地带的中等规模市政厅，包括普罗旺斯的博凯尔、卡庞特拉和奥朗日，里维埃拉的芒通，以及西南部的卡尔卡松和佩皮尼昂。
Eric Ciotti, the new mayor of Nice, who quit the centre-right Republicans to found his own party and hooked it up to(与...结盟) the RN, promised to tighten security, cut waste and turn the page(翻开新篇章). The outgoing centrist mayor, Christian Estrosi(克里斯蒂安·埃斯特罗西（前尼斯市长）), had held office for 17 years. Mr Ciotti’s tough law-and-order(法律与秩序) promises resonated. Away from the seafront cocktail bars, flanked by the airport and the motorway, lie the sprawling(蔓延的) housing estates of the Moulins quarter. In May two bystander(旁观者)s were shot dead there by a man wielding an assault rifle(突击步枪). In the past two years drug-gang rivalry has led to 11 deaths. Mr Ciotti has opened a police outpost near the site of the shooting. He vows to increase by 50% the number of local police in the city by 2027.
尼斯新市长埃里克·乔蒂退出了中右翼共和党，创立自己的政党并与RN挂钩，他承诺加强安全、削减浪费并翻开新篇章。离任的中间派市长克里斯蒂安·埃斯特罗西已任职17年。乔蒂先生强硬的“法律与秩序”承诺引起了共鸣。远离海滨的鸡尾酒吧，在机场和高速公路环绕之处，是穆兰区蔓延的住宅区。五月，两名路人被一名手持突击步枪的男子枪杀。过去两年，贩毒团伙之间的争斗导致11人死亡。乔蒂已在枪击现场附近开设了一个警察岗亭。他誓言到2027年将城市当地警察数量增加50%。
