Social Democratic primaries for the Élysée Palace extended by one day due to cyberattack

The first round of the French social democratic primary election to select a candidate for the 2027 presidential race has been extended by one day, shifting from Saturday to Sunday. The extension follows a cyberattack that disrupted the initial phase of the voting process.
