As the legislative elections approach, it is a small blunder that Emmanuelle Wargon’s opponents have not failed to raise, in the 8th district of Val-de-Marne. Accused by her opponents of being “parachuted” into this constituency, the former housing minister campaigned with a poster that quickly caught the laughing eye of other candidates. In the background, on the poster in question, we can see the city of Lyon, not quite in the coveted constituency in the Paris region.

“Madame Wargon, should we understand from your campaign poster that our constituency is not attractive enough for you, to the point of preferring Lyon for your official poster? immediately quipped regional councilor LR Romain Maria, parliamentary assistant to outgoing candidate Michel Herbillon.

My opponents give importance to the background of the campaign kit poster instead of focusing on the background of the project I carry with @EmmanuelMacron. It is true that the deputy in place is 532nd out of 577 for the participation in the votes at @AssembleeNat. https://t.co/dUCcUNqDiM

Emmanuelle Wargon’s team explains that they have used visuals from presidential majority campaign kits. On her Twitter account, Emmanuelle Wargon defends herself and deplores that her opponents “give importance to the background of the campaign kit poster instead of focusing on the background of the project that [she] carries with Emmanuel Macron” .
