If the proxy rate reaches records never equaled in France for these legislative elections, there is no question of Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte missing this very important stage for the French government. Coming in a beige pantsuit with black buttons, the First Lady appeared very smiling in her stronghold of Le Touquet where she owns a lovely property. For his part, President Emmanuel Macron chose a sober suit to go to the Salle des Quatre Saisons in Le Touquet and warmly greeted the assessors before slipping his envelope into the ballot box. When he left, he took the opportunity to say hello to the onlookers present on site. He even kissed the head of a potential voter, delighted to meet the head of state.
Having come as a couple to Le Touquet, the couple was seen the day before relaxing at the beach bar Le Sand. An important weekend for the presidential couple who remain very united while awaiting the final verdict of the elections. Surprising and unprecedented elections since on June 28, “more than 2.6 million proxies were registered by the Ministry of the Interior, in preparation for the legislative elections“, BFMTV learned from Beauvau.
More than 2.5 million proxies
“In detail, 2,641,852 proxies have been established since June 10. Between June 10 and 28, the dematerialization rate – namely proxies made online – stands at 75%” indicates the same source. Compared to the legislative elections of 2022, before the first round, there were 4.1 times more proxies.
After announcing the dissolution of the National Assembly and the organization of early legislative elections on June 30 and July 7 in response to the victory of the National Rally in the European elections, Emmanuel Macron did his duty as a citizen. Only a few hours left before we know if the French have followed their example.
