Three candidates mobilized a few days apart to denounce the difficulties they have in collecting sponsorships from local elected officials. To be a candidate for the presidential election, these 500 sponsorships of elected officials are the only requirement laid down by the organic law of November 6, 1962.

Should the rules be changed to facilitate access to the presidential election? Elements of answer with Arnaud Robinet, Mayor Horizons of Reims and vice-president of Greater Reims.
