AGI – At least 250,000 French voters abroad have already voted online for the legislative elections of 30 June and 7 July. Remote voting is open from yesterday at noon (Paris time) and will end tomorrow at noon (also Paris time) for the French abroad (more than 1.5 million voters), who will have to designate the deputies of eleven constituencies.
Meanwhile, four days before the elections, the government of French President Emmanuel Macron has decreed the dissolution of four far-right groups and an Islamist association. The spokesperson of the executive, Prisca Thevenot, explained in the usual press conference after the Council of Ministers that the dissolution of all these organizations took place on the proposal of the Minister of the Interior, Gerald Darmanin.
The best known is the GUD (Groupe Union Defense), a student union which Darmanin had underlined last week, when he announced his intention to ban it, that there are “many people” from Marine Le’s Rassemblement Nationale (RN) Pen that have been or are related to it. The others are Les Remparts, La Traboule and Top Sport Rhone, all based in the city of Lyon, as well as Jonas Paris, an association in the sphere of Islamic fundamentalism.
