It’s a blunder that has not gone unnoticed. The city of Lyon serves as the background for the campaign poster for the legislative elections of the former Minister of Housing Emmanuelle Wargon, candidate in the Ile-de-France department of Val-de-Marne. “Madame Wargon, should we understand from your campaign poster that our constituency is not attractive enough for you, to the point of preferring Lyon for your official poster?” quipped, Friday, June 3, the regional councilor LR Romain Maria, parliamentary assistant to the outgoing candidate Michel Herbillon.
Emmanuelle Wargon’s team explains that they have used visuals from presidential majority campaign kits. With the Huffpost, Emmanuelle Wargon deplores that her opponents “give importance to the background of the poster instead of focusing on the background at all” and castigates the record of his opponent Les Républicains, “ranked 532nd MP out of 577 on vote turnouts”.
