Sunday April 24, Jean Lassalle staged his abstention in a polling station, video in support. This did not please the Constitutional Council which invalidated all the votes of the municipality of Lourdios-Ichère.
The small village of Lourdios-Ichère (Pyrénées-Atlantiques) suffered a thunderclap. None of the 90 votes in the second round of the presidential election will be counted in the national result. This follows the video of Jean Lassalle, former mayor of the town, who staged his abstention while all propaganda is prohibited on election day. The Constitutional Council invalidated the vote in the village. The inhabitants take the decision with resignation. “Everyone is penalized”said a woman.
The mayor of the town does not understand this decision. “Finally, to invalidate the votes of Lourdios-Ichère, I find that it is still a lack of respect for this population which presented itself at the polling stations quite normally”, she argues. Jean Lassalle made his mea-culpa in a letter addressed to the Council in which he asks forgiveness from the inhabitants and says he is ready to incur a prison sentence, a fine or even the withdrawal of his civic rights.
