Debate on the right to vote revived at age 16

Report on the resumption of the debate on the right to vote from the age of 16. This proposal, coming from the leadership of the national high school union, finds this time echoes with political parties. However, many high school students do not agree because they are still too young and impressionable to hold such a right. Moreover, the government does not want to go in this direction, but wishes to strengthen the place of young people in associations. The comments of Antoine EVENNOU, Secretary General of the National High School Union, Dominique PAILLE, spokesperson of the UMP, Antoine DETOURNE, President of the Young Socialists Movement, and Martin HIRSCH, High Commissioner for Youth, are punctuated by factual images, archive images and infographic images.
