The two providers responsible for the distribution of electoral propaganda for the regional and departmental elections, La Poste and Adrexo, are summoned Monday by the Minister of the Interior Gerald Darmanin, announced Sunday the Minister Delegate Marlène Schiappa on France 2.
Representatives of the two companies are expected at 10 a.m. at the ministry, we learned from those around Ms. Schiappa.
Sunday morning, the Secretary General of the Ministry of the Interior Benoît Albertini had asked the prefects to supervise the putting in envelopes and the distribution of electoral propaganda after the "major dysfunctions observed" for the first round of the polls.
In this letter, the Secretary General specifically pointed the finger at the Adrexo company, which serves part of the national territory.
The other part is served by La Poste.
This week, several candidates and parties, including La France insoumise (LFI) complained of problems in the delivery of professions of faith to voters and questioned the new provider Adrexo, chosen after a call from offers by the Ministry of the Interior.
On Wednesday, Gerald Darmanin had warned that he would ask that the call for tenders won by Adrexo be called into question.
