"

For these elections to be held, there will have to be people who agree to hold polling stations

", noted the elected representative of Yvelines on

FranceInfo

, while the government asked all the mayors on Friday to decide by Monday noon on health measures for the June ballot.

From the moment when those who are there to organize the elections in our territories, that is to say the local elected representatives, recommend that this election can be postponed, then I think that we will have to follow their advice.

If we see that a majority of elected officials consider that this election can be held, that they know how to organize it, that they know how to find assessors, then let's maintain them,

”she continued.

Following the recommendations of the Scientific Council, the government confirmed last week that it favored "

at this stage

" the maintenance of these polls on June 13 and 20, dates on which it sought their opinion from the parties, political groups and presidents of the assemblies.

Debates should be held on Tuesday and Wednesday on the issue, respectively before the Assembly and the Senate.

The president (LREM) of the National Assembly Richard Ferrand spoke in favor of a postponement to October, a position opposite to that of his party.

President LR of the Senate Gérard Larcher asked him to maintain them in June.
