Villeneuve-Saint-Georges bans the distribution of leaflets during the day until 2027

The LR mayor of Villeneuve-Saint-Georges, Kristell Niasme, issued an order prohibiting the distribution of leaflets between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. in several sectors of the city until September 2027, citing risks of unrest and security. The opposition, notably the PCF of Val-de-Marne, contests this measure as an attack on freedom of expression in the run-up to the 2027 presidential election.
