how the regulation frames political speech | EUROtoday

HAS 4 months of municipal elections (March 15-22), the candidates and municipalities of France are sharpening their marketing campaign arguments. But they stroll on eggshells. Since 1^er September 2025, warning is required. At challenge: the reserve interval throughout which public communication is strictly regulated.

The electoral code prohibits any “advertising promotion campaign for the achievements or management of a community”. Concretely, municipalities can not promote the outcomes or the administration of the municipal crew in place, by any means in anyway (publication, group web site, social networks, posters, and so forth.). Candidates should even be circumspect throughout occasions organized with the assets of their group.
