Manuel Valls voted for the first time in Spain

He was used to electoral Sundays in France. Manuel Valls now lives on the other side of the Pyrenees where he settled in the second half of 2018. To run for mayor of Barcelona, he became a full Spanish citizen, which means participating in all elections.

This is what he did for the first time this Sunday, April 28 in Barcelona, during the early parliamentary elections. After slipping his ballot into the ballot box, he posted on Twitter his "emotion" after "this unique moment".

"Today is citizens' day and the festival of democracy. Voting is a privilege, a right, an obligation. And to vote for the first time in Spain and Barcelona is for me a unique, moving moment. "

"I voted in conscience," he said when he left the polling station, without specifying for whom he had done. He has also remained very far from the campaign, his accounts on social networks being almost exclusively devoted to the Battle of Barcelona. For this election, he ran out of party but he can count on the support of the centrist and liberal Ciudadanos to win on May 26..........
