French PM, Parisians react after Macron slapped in face

Global News published this video item, entitled “French PM, Parisians react after Macron slapped in face” – below is their description.

Parisians and French Prime Minister Jean Castex spoke out after a man was seen on camera slapping President Emmanuel Macron in the face while he greeted locals in southeastern France on Tuesday.

Castex said it was “democracy that is being targeted,” telling the French National Assembly that democracy allows for debate, dialogue and the “face-off of ideas,” but violence, verbal aggression or, “most of all, physical aggression” should not be tolerated.

People in Paris had similar thoughts on the actions of the man, saying that they can disagree with the president and vote against him in the election being held in 2022, but slapping a person is not right.

In This Story: Vote

Voting is a method for a group, such as a meeting or an electorate, in order to make a collective decision or express an opinion usually following discussions, debates or election campaigns. Democracies elect holders of high office by voting. Residents of a place represented by an elected official are called “constituents”, and those constituents who cast a ballot for their chosen candidate are called “voters”. There are different systems for collecting votes, but while many of the systems used in decision-making can also be used as electoral systems, any which cater for proportional representation can only be used in elections.

In smaller organizations, voting can occur in different ways. Formally via ballot to elect others for example within a workplace, to elect members of political associations or to choose roles for others. Informally voting could occur as a spoken agreement or as a verbal gesture like a raised hand or electronically.
