Too busy managing the Covid-19 crisis, Edouard Philippe canceled his meeting in Le Havre, where he was a candidate in the municipal elections. His entourage justified this cancellation by "the evolution of the situation on the coronavirus".
The last meeting of Edouard Philippe before the first round of the municipal elections was scheduled for Thursday at 7 p.m. but according to those around him, the Prime Minister "will be mobilized all day in Matignon". The head of government, surrounded by five ministers including those of Health and the Interior, receives Thursday in Matignon the presidents of the Assemblies and parliamentary groups, as well as the heads of parties and the presidents of associations of elected officials.
