Ballots here during the first round of regional elections in Brittany. – C. Allain / 20 Minutes
Was there a problem? The two providers responsible for the distribution of electoral propaganda for the regional and departmental elections, La Poste and Adrexo, are summoned Monday by the Minister of the Interior Gérald Darmanin, announced this Sunday the Minister Delegate Marlène Schiappa on France 2.
The representatives of the two companies are expected at 10 am at the ministry, we learned from the entourage of Marlène Schiappa. Sunday morning, the Secretary General of the Ministry of the Interior Benoît Albertini had asked the prefects to supervise the putting in envelopes and the distribution of electoral propaganda after the “major dysfunctions observed” for the first round of the polls.
The Adrexo company singled out
In this letter, the Secretary General specifically pointed the finger at the Adrexo company, which serves part of the national territory. The other part is served by La Poste.
This week, several candidates and parties, including La France insoumise (LFI) and LR, complained of problems in the delivery of professions of faith to voters and questioned the new provider Adrexo, chosen after a call for tenders by the Ministry of the Interior. On Wednesday, Gérald Darmanin had warned that he would ask that the call for tenders won by Adrexo be called into question.
