Marlène Schiappa, the Deputy Minister in charge of Citizenship, was the guest of Europe Matin on Monday.

If she says she is "in favor" of maintaining regional elections in June, she also wanted to minimize the impact of a possible postponement.

INTERVIEW

In France, the government, via the prefects, is consulting the mayors on whether or not to maintain regional elections in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic. But the opposition accuses the executive of seeking to manipulate the ballot by postponing it a second time. "The electoral balance will not vary between June and September", wanted to relativize Marlène Schiappa, the Minister Delegate in charge of Citizenship, Monday at the microphone of Europe Matin.
