Nearly 3,000 candidates will be in the running for France’s 81 seats in the European Parliament, as a record 37 parties are fielding lists for the 9 June elections. Along with the established parties that have national politicians are a slew of single-issue lists that are hoping to get over five percent of the vote and win a seat in the assembly.
After Friday evening’s deadline, the Interior Ministry published the official list of candidates for the 9 June European elections: 37 parties, three more than in 2019.
