The Prime Minister should propose to postpone the ballot by one week at the end of June the regional ballot, according to the President of the National Assembly.
Asked this Tuesday morning on RTL, Richard Ferrand argued that the Prime Minister "will propose" this afternoon to postpone "perhaps by postponing until June 27 the second round" of the regional.
In this case, motivated by the health crisis, the first round would take place on June 20, again a week after the originally scheduled date.
"I think so and I welcome it," he said, adding "we talk often" with the Prime Minister.

“The Prime Minister has consulted the whole world and he has done well, it is to his credit, also commented Richard Ferrand.
I want to condemn here all those who sometimes scream because we do not consult enough, and howl because we consult everyone ”.
The last consultation, that of the mayors of France, leaned towards maintaining the dates at the end of June.
56% of the mayors who voted in this poll organized this weekend, or 24,000 elected, voted in favor of maintaining it in June, 40% for the postponement, and 4% did not vote.
