"And you all came from Paris on purpose?"
This Sunday morning, shortly before 11 a.m., this Virois voter still cannot believe seeing so many journalists standing in front of the town hall of Vire-Normandie, in Calvados.
“It's usually pretty quiet here…”
he adds doubtfully.
Suddenly, in front of this typical post-war reconstruction building, a few plainclothes police approach the main entrance.
In the distance, the silhouette of a woman walking alone, dressed in a yellow suit jacket, advances in the sun.
Without a word, right.
"She's the Prime Minister!"
Whispers, intimidated, our voter.
It is now 11:11 a.m. sharp.
After greeting the assessors, the woman in yellow hands her ballot.
Marc Andreu Sabater, the mayor (Horizons, presidential majority), then gives the consecrated formula:
“Voted!”
Still in silence, Elisabeth Borne, candidate for deputy in this 6th constituency of Calvados, leaves the building surrounded by a few collaborators from Matignon and a small forest of cameras and telescopic poles for microphones.
Direction his campaign office, located a few hundred meters away, rue de la Chaussée.
