With the legislative elections in France just days away (1st Round 10th June – 2nd Round 17th June) – you might like to listen to some French radio. For these elections, I will be keeping a special eye on Douarnenez in Brittany (for background – see my post on The Furzton Blog).
The widget below will enable you to listen to France Bleu Breizh Izel (from Quimper). France Bleu is a network of local stations around France (someone likened it to the BBC local radio network).
Douarnenez is the 7th circonscription in Finistere (Like the districts in the US House of Representatives – the constitutency is given a number within the State – but the ‘departement’ is the unit used for French national elections)
The candidates for the 7th circonscription are -
Serge Defrance, Sophie Niderkorn (LO)
Didier Guillon, Valérie Dreau (UMP)
Janick Moriceau, Jean Cathala (EELV)
Evelyne Delgrange, Yvette Fournol (FN)
Michel Canevet, Isabelle Clement (AC)
Annick Le Loch, Paul Gueguen (PS) {CURRENT MEMBER}
Jean Jouanno, Marie-Claude Le Guen (AEI)
Françoise Pencalet-Kerivel, Jean-Yves Leven (FDG)
