Former French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe has been called to testify on October 24 before the Court of Justice in the framework of an investigation into the management of the coronavirus pandemic as mayor of Le Havre, in Normandy.

In addition, the French politician will have to give explanations about the holding of the first round of municipal elections in March 2020 despite the fact that infections were increasing, according to information from the newspaper 'Le Monde'.
