Polls open for legislative elections in Hong Kong after deadly fire

This Sunday, Hong Kong voters are heading to the polls for their second legislative election since the 2021 electoral overhaul, which effectively removed the pro-democracy opposition. This vote comes less than two weeks after a devastating fire that claimed the lives of at least 159 people. The election results may provide insights into public sentiment regarding the government’s management of this tragic event, serving as a crucial test of their handling of the crisis. Details by FRANCE 24 correspondent in Beijing, Jan Camenzind Broomby.
