As he was about to vote, Sunday June 12, the day of the first round of the legislative elections, a 50-year-old resident of Plérin (Côtes-d'Armor) threatened the president of the polling station with death.
The latter had refused to let the fifty-year-old enter the voting booth with his six-year-old son, reports

A citizenship course
Indeed, as required by law, the person must be alone when depositing the ballot in the ballot box.
Angered by this decision, the man had first struck a blow on the furniture.
After his death threats, he left the scene, forgetting his identity card and his voter's card on the spot.
The police, who intervened in the process, therefore had no difficulty in arresting him.
The father of the family was then placed in police custody where he admitted the facts before being the subject of a criminal composition.
In particular, he will have to follow a citizenship course and is now prohibited from coming into contact with his victim.
From his cell, he calls his ex 1,500 times and threatens her with death
