The candidates are on Facebook but with very few followers

Altogether 3,481 people follow on Facebook the eight candidates in the territorial elections (Tuesday, March 14 at 14:30 pm). All have created a page on this social network, the most popular in Saint-Martin. Each post the meetings schedules, share articles published in the media and publishes videos of meetings. But very few use Facebook to communicate as such, meaning to present their program in detail.

The “followers” are generally very few. Should there be a lack of interest in these deadlines on the part of the population? Or a desire not to publicly display the support for a candidate?
