LR and Calmels have 30 days to seize another court capable of judging on the merits

The two parties, LR and Virginie Calmels, have thirty days to seize another court capable of judging the merits, if the parties so wish.
If she wants to be able to appear on the starting list, the candidate will have to obtain before October 3 - as for all the other contenders - at least 10 sponsorships from parliamentarians and some 485 signatures from activists.
