Ségolène Royal's birthday rally draws only about 200 attendees in Alfortville
On her 73rd birthday, Ségolène Royal held a meeting at Alfortville's sports hall that attracted roughly 200 people.
Royal marked her birthday with a political rally at the Palais des sports d’Alfortville, where the venue was filled with about 200 spectators. The event was opened by mayor Luc Carvounas and PS deputy Béatrice Bellay before Royal took the stage. Attendance was far lower than the crowds of her 2007 presidential campaign.
Why it matters
The low turnout signals waning public enthusiasm for Royal's political influence.
