The second round of the municipal elections in the French commune of Arcis-sur-Aube is set to be memorable, with Charles Hittler and Antoine Renault-Zielinski in competition. Hittler, the current mayor, received 37.81% of the votes, while Zielinski came in third with 29.99%. Hittler, who stated that the situation has gotten out of control due to jokes about his name, proposes to strengthen the community's ties.


On the other hand, Zielinski, a young entrepreneur, is relying on his passion to attract votes. The irony of Hittler's name has generated a strong reaction online, but he emphasizes that people should focus on the person behind the name. The elections are taking place in a historical context, with the commune having ties to the Napoleonic battles and the history of Ukraine.
