sponsorships are still lacking in Mélenchon, Le Pen and Zemmour

It is by republican spirit that he says to act. David Lisnard, LR mayor of Cannes (Alpes-Maritimes) and support of Valérie Pécresse, has decided to sponsor Jean-Luc Mélenchon. “I think it is important to take the initiative to show that sponsorships are not worth support and that we must ensure democratic and republican free expression”, says David Lisnard. The leader of La France insoumise only totals 370 signatures for the moment.

Time is running out: three of the main candidates are particularly worried. Including Christiane Taubira (86 sponsorships), Éric Zemmour and Marine Le Pen. “It’s a situation that is democratically terrifying”, confides Marine Le Pen. A situation that forces these candidates to review their priorities. Calls to reform the system come up with every election, but since 1965 no major candidate has been barred from running for lack of endorsements.
