The elections for the European Parliament on 26th May will have 33 lists to choose from. This means that local maires need to provide billboards to display the candidates posters, the only form of advertising allowed n the streets.
This poses a problem for small communes with few voters and even fewer "panneaux". One T&G commune has only 38 voters, but will have to display 33** posters. Many maires are complaining that the prefecture is offering no help. Others are looking at sharing the boards and using both sides. But used to seeing only 5 or 6 posters, 33 will undoubtedly will give voters pause for thought.
** a 34th list approved at the last minute.
