The political analyst Jérôme Jaffré returned Monday, at the microphone of Europe 1, on the scores recorded during the first round of regional Sunday by the various political formations, but especially on the record abstention during this election: more than 65% of the voters registered on the lists did not go to vote.
INTERVIEW
One of the major facts of the first round of regional Sunday remains this slap to democracy represented by a historic abstention rate, estimated between 66.1 and 68.6%. "It is undoubtedly a form of sanction against the political class", said Monday, at the microphone of the morning of Europe 1, Jérôme Jaffré, political scientist and researcher associated with Cevipof. "It is also the feeling of a certain uselessness of the vote", adds this specialist in French political life.
