France puts votes for expats on the back burner
A promise by French President Francois Hollande to give expats in France from outside the European Union the right to vote in local and regional elections has been put on the back burner, it has been confirmed. Hollande made the promise last year during the campaign for the presidency to push through a reform that would bring France into line with most of Europe. However, now he has confirmed that the proposal will not be put to the French parliament before the municipal elections next year.
‘I did not submit the text to parliament because I knew the opposition was against it and above all I did not want to give the impression that we are pushing the issue before the 2014 municipal elections,’ he said. ‘After the elections, there will be no issue. It will be submitted to parliament, which will adopt it if it wants to,’ he added. [click to continue…]
