THE GUARDIAN: Gabriel Attal’s call comes on tense last day of campaigning after more than 50 candidates and canvassers attacked
The French prime minister, Gabriel Attal, has urged all political parties to call for calm on a tense last day of campaigning for a snap election in which the far right hopes to win a majority in parliament.
“Violence and intimidation have no place in our society,” Attal wrote in a social media post.
The interior minister, Gérald Darmanin, said: “This campaign is short and yet we already have 51 candidates, substitutes and activists who have been physically assaulted.” » | Angelique Chrisafis in Paris | Friday, July 5, 2024
