Today, like yesterday and like tomorrow, each of us will have looked at the screen of our mobile phone 221 times. Or twenty times every hour. How much time will we spend in the polling station on April 7 for the first round of the presidential election? About ten minutes. And again, for those who will make the trip. Let us remember that last year for the regional elections, nearly 7 out of 10 French people did not go to vote.
If the traditional campaign (meetings, debates, tracts) has only just begun, the digital battle is already electrifying social networks. The Internet has become a new space for political competition. Have social networks become a full-fledged leg of political communication?
Will social networks make the presidential election? This is the question of the Debate of the Day on RFI.
