The Paris Commune. Sunday, March 26, 1871. Today in Paris is a clear day with a warm sun and it is the day of the municipal elections. Elections, in truth, delayed by several days with respect to the original idea: on the one hand due to the reluctance to hold them on the part of the mayors of the various arrondissements (neighborhoods, each with a mayor at the head), especially the bourgeois ones, and on the other hand due to the hesitation of the Central Committee of the National Guard that had the strength and power not to waste time. Meanwhile, in Versailles, the National Government reorganized its army. In Paris the vote is taken in a festive atmosphere. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
