Ludivine Daoudi, candidate of the National Rally in the 1st constituency of Calvados which includes Caen, obtained 19.95% of the votes in the first round of the legislative elections. But her “candidacy will be withdrawn today”, assured this Tuesday morning, the departmental delegate of the RN in Calvados, Philippe Chapron, to France Bleu Normandie.
The decision, “made in consultation, at headquarters level”, was taken following the publication of a photo of the candidate posing, all smiles, with a Luftwaffe cap, the Nazi air force, and therefore sporting a swastika on her head. A photo that was published on her Facebook account “six or seven years ago”.

“She doesn’t deny it, she took this photo several years ago at a gun fair in Saint-Pierre-sur-Dives,” the RN leader explained on local radio. Indeed, he agrees that the photo is in bad taste. […] “Anyway, we cannot accept this kind of thing.”
This image was posted on Monday by Emma Fourreau, his opponent from the New Popular Front, on her X account. For the second round, there will therefore be two candidates, Joël Bruneau, mayor of Caen, a miscellaneous right candidate, who obtained 43.11% of the votes cast in the first round, and Emma Fourreau, who collected 34.82% of the votes.
