    I’m curious to know what’s going on in France given the special elections, can somebody translate for me?

      And to add context on this particular poster:

      This is Cyril Hanouna, he’s a presenter on a popular C8 show. C8 is a Vincent Bolloré owned TV channel, he has a far right agenda and so does his TV channel. So Cyril Hanouna, on his show, does a lot of left parties bashing, especially against LFI (La France Insoumise, which logo is on his left on the poster, one of the big left party, more radical than the other big ones). Recently he said that if the Front Populaire (the left parties union, which includes LFI) win, he’ll leave France. So the poster says “I vote, He gets out”. I think he later added that he was only joking.

      Macron dismissed the National Assembly, which means élection in 2 weeks. Far-right is strong from the European élection, so the left regrouped themself as an antifa movement to counter that.

      • RN far-right 31%
      • Front Populaire 28%
      • Macron 18%

            That’s not what really going on. The number of circumscriptions was acted yesterday. The issue right now is around a few key circumscriptions and who’s getting them. Otherwise, the campaign has already started in all other circumscriptions.
