The main three opposition candidates (Marine Le Pen, Éric Zemmour, Jean-Luc Mélenchon) are not allowed to the election.
In France you need 500 sponsorships from elected officials, out of a pool of about 50,000 officials (this includes mayors, councillors, MPs, etc.). It was almost never an issue for the popular candidates, but this time it became the one. The candidates with
the deadline is on the fourth of march so it's quite soon and i think zemmour is in the 350 as of now but could be wrong

Macron is going to win by a large margin, we’re rigging this one just like we rigged 2020. You wont do shit about it, again.
Justin Ross
i like the idea that french election REQUIRES tacit approval from established 50000 officials meanwhile america needs elections to be "fortified"
its as if french cant get rid of the ngo nest and beucracratic parasites meanwhile america once allowed rougue elites
what ever happens french bros keep your eyes pealed. there is a reason why all these final clauses appear just months before an election: no one reads the fine print

In every electon you have the same crying for attention pretending they aren't allowed to compete. The truth is that Zemmour and Le Pen will get the sponsorship. But the small candidates who actually are against the establishment won't.

This endorsement system has to go. If they got what they want, by barring outside the system or "extremists", the turnout will be lower and, in the end only wef approved candidates would have a chance and this endorsement system never set to be scrapped. The so-called democratic system will be a bigger joke.

Il faut aussi parler des sondages. Le cancer des élections.
Sebastian Adams
but the whole thing is so fucked up. Like, a brute outsider like Trump could never get those votes in france
yep some officials could iterally decide to sponsor someone who already has the sponsors and say they didnt know they had all of them and only when the consttutional counsel checks them something could be done about it if they decide to actually check them and not just wait on their job which they could do
