Legislative elections 2024: a merciless battle in the 17th arrondissement of Paris
(Franceinfo)
In the 17th arrondissement of Paris, the battle for the legislative elections is raging. In the 4th district of Paris some candidates engage in express campaigns in the streets of the capital
In the streets of the 17th arrondissement of Paris, certain candidates for the legislative elections are themselves distributing leaflets. This is the case of Geoffroy Boulard, current mayor of the 17th arrondissement and Republican candidate. “I I am not bought, I am not going to look for a position”. Facing him, the candidate nominated by the president of the Republicans, Arnaud Dassier. “JI have always been in favor of this union of rights”, indicated the former architect of Nicolas Sarkozy’s campaign in 2007.
In this district where the right and the presidential majority emerged victorious in the last elections, the victory of the left is far from assured. The candidate of the New Popular Front, Théa Fournier, will have a lot to do in this constituency. “I am counting on my youth, my dynamism and the European campaign”, she said. Astrid Panoysan-Bouvet, the outgoing MP and Renaissance candidate, is counting on the support of Edouard Philippe. Six other candidates are registered in this constituency.
