Gilles Platret (LR) intends to file an appeal
The candidate of the right and the center, Gilles Platret, announced on the France 3 Bourgogne plateau on Sunday June 27 that he also intended to file an appeal following the dysfunctions noted in the distribution of electoral folds. “We will file an appeal, not against the victory [de Marie-Guite Dufay], it is acquired. But against the government that messed up this election […] We have a democratic problem. You have voters who did not have the documentation to make their choice “, he clarified.
Adrexo, sharply criticized for delivery malfunctions during the first round of regional elections, admitted on Sunday having met again “many difficulties” upstream of the second round. The service provider had requested assistance from La Poste for this distribution. The company says it is at the disposal of the Ministry of the Interior “to take stock of this operation”, and will also be heard on Tuesday before the Law Commission of the National Assembly on these “malfunctions”.
Adrexo, specializing in the distribution of advertising materials, had estimated at 9% the number of electoral envelopes not sent to their recipients for the first round, a figure equivalent to that announced by La Poste. The group had reported a computer attack to explain its difficulties.
