Orders are passed. Heard by the Senate Law Commission this Wednesday morning, the Minister of the Interior, Gérald Darmanin, “assumed all the responsibility“the hiccups of the distribution of electoral propaganda, on the occasion of the first round of regional and departmental elections, while once again pointing out the responsibilities of service providers, including Adrexo. To avoid any new controversy, this Sunday, the government therefore asked the prefectures to take matters into their own hands. Under the authority of Didier Martin, the Loire-Atlantique prefecture therefore unveiled, this Wednesday, a device to better supervise this task.
“Reinforced supervision of the enveloping and delivery system”
In a circular published this Wednesday at midday, the prefecture ensures that it has made arrangements “after each report to provide answers as quickly as possible“, last Sunday during the first round of voting. While recognizing”malfunctions“in Loire-Atlantique, which she attributes to the service provider Adrexo. To avoid any further missteps, she admits the need to “ensure that all the guarantees can be implemented in view of the difficulties encountered“and puts several measures in place to do this.
As the Vendée prefecture has already decided to do, “enhanced supervision of the mailing process and the propaganda routing system provided by the prefecture with the presence of state agents in the mailing center“will be set up. Likewise, a daily monitoring unit for distribution in the department is activated, in coordination with the sub-prefectures and the service provider responsible for this mission. The prefecture also takes the lead, if new hiccups were to take place by setting up a “specific communication” with the mayors and the candidates in order to raise any report as quickly as possible, if necessary.
