While the municipal elections and the first-round vote should be on everyone’s lips, it is indeed the coronavirus that prevails today. The epidemic, which is worsening day by day in the country, and the establishment of stage 3 have significantly disrupted the turnout in the polling stations this Sunday, March 15. Indeed, abstention marks a record rate in the Alpes-Maritimes: 57.31% compared to 39.71% in 2014.
As the first results are coming in and the Minister of Health announces 120 coronavirus deaths and 5,400 cases in France, the main question is: “Should we cancel the second round scheduled for next Sunday?”
