Here are some explanations and some figures concerning the importance of these elections:

 

 

For the Thailand-Burma constituency, 7 lists were submitted a few weeks ago. Some are openly linked to French political parties or supported by them, others simply close, others still apolitical and rather associative. You will have the opportunity to find out more and make your choice by reading the series of interviews with the top candidates that we will be offering you soon. In the meantime, here is the complete “list of lists” in their filing order.

 

 

Here they are now in their order of drawing, carried out by the French authorities, a drawing of lots which makes it possible to determine, for example, the order of presentation of the ballots on the day of the vote. It is in this random order that we will present the heads of the lists and their programs.
