Nothing therefore prevents, in theory, a former president from standing for a third time. But this scenario has, to my knowledge, never presented itself.

10:33 am : Hello FI, I too have a practical question regarding the upcoming elections. Is it democratic not to have received any profession of faith from any candidate to date?

Professions of faith have the practice of being able to compare intentions with a balance sheet.. have a nice day everyone ☀️
09:44 : You are a few in the comments to ask me practical questions about the presidential election. What is the candidate program? Is the blank vote counted? What are the rules for speaking time in the media? We address these questions (and many more) in This article.

07:01 : Hello @intrigued, you are right, it is subtle. Since mid-March, members of the government, but also civil servants, must refrain from supporting a candidate when they speak officially, and reduce their travel in the context of the campaign. On the other hand, their word and their movements remain free when they express themselves as a simple political figure. Bruno Le Maire is therefore invited as a support for Emmanuel Macron, and not as Minister of the Economy.
07:31 : Hello FI. You receive Bruno Le Maire. So he can come and express himself as a support for Emmanuel Macron while he is a minister? I thought it was impossible because of the electoral reserve? Please enlighten me 😊
