Notes and References

Like a member of House of Murat, Joachim wasn't a Bourbon.
although it did not win the majority of votes, the coalition won the majority bonus of seats granted by the electoral law to the alliance whose candidate is elected Mayor. This mechanism works only if no coalition obtains more than the 50% of votes.
