The Grenoble Student Union, anchored on the left, thus demands a “ vic­toire » : « We become the first student force in the UFR councils of UGA », She announced on social networks, indicating that she had won 40% of the votes. “ 1,495 students chose to win an eco-friendly, feminist and supportive university! », adds the organization. Unef, also on the left, is (relatively) more sober in its expression, but emphasizes having obtained 1,392 votes and 24 seats.

Who specifies having become “ majo­ri­taire » in the Faculty of Economics… even though there are the same number of elected officials (three) as the list “ Independent Valentinois students », and did not have a UEG or Unef list in front of him.

The participation rate of 33.6% for the Arsh is by far the highest, when most of the time it is around 15% and sometimes drops below the 10% mark. Rates much lower than those observed for other colleges.
