Administrative court overturns Rassemblement National's narrow win in Montargis municipal election

A court in Orléans ruled on Thursday to cancel the Rassemblement National's win in Montargis, citing the spread of a defamatory video days before the second round. The decision reverses the result that had given the party a marginal lead. The case concerns the municipal election in the Loiret town, which has been governed by right-wing officials since 2001. The ruling may trigger a new vote or other electoral procedures.
