In France, political tensions are escalating as the possibility of an early presidential election looms.

Manuel Bompard, a prominent figure from the left-wing party La France Insoumise (LFI), has reached out to the Interior Minister, Bruno Retailleau, questioning the government's preparedness for such an event.

This inquiry comes amid speculations of a government collapse, fueled by a potential motion of censure against Prime Minister Michel Barnier.

Bompard's letter highlights concerns over logistical challenges, such as the timely distribution of election materials and the ability for candidates to gather necessary endorsements.

The urgency is underscored by constitutional requirements that mandate an election within 20 to 35 days following a presidential resignation.

As political figures like Jean-Luc Mélenchon prepare for this potential scenario, the readiness of the Interior Ministry remains a critical question.
