#RadioLondres-à l'étranger
French Twitter users employed World War II codes to circumvent French legislation banning the prediction of voting results during the presidential elections. Cunning tweeters turned the election into a fight between a red Dutch cheese and a green Hungarian wine, using the #radiolondres hashtag. Radio Londres was a French-language radio broadcast from the BBC which was sent out to Nazi -occupied France between 1940 and 1944. It used codes to communicate with the French Resistance and to counter Nazi propaganda. French law states that no one can announce vote predictions before polls close, which in this case was at 8:00pm on Sunday 22 April. If they do they face a fine of up to €75,000 (£61,000).

op 3 - Vla, tomaten en het weer in Boedapest: #RadioLondres
En las recientes elecciones presidenciales en Perú, y ante la prohibición de difundir encuestas por medios masivos una semana antes de la votación, surgió la pregunta: ¿se puede difundir encuestas por redes sociales? En teoría, no, pero nada fue más fácil que burlarse de dicha prohibición, mencionando cuál candidato iba por delante, aunque sin mencionar sus nombres. Pues bien, algo muy similar ocurrió en Francia, donde también rige esta obsoleta ley electoral. Esto es lo que publicó el diario El País al respecto:
El hashtag ‘#RadioLondres’, o cómo burlaron la ley francesa que prohíbe difundir encuestas por Internet | La mula
#radiolondres o cómo burlar la ley electoral francesa
Los franceses recuperaron con el hashstag #RadioLondres un código de más de medio siglo de antigüedad. El concepto se convirtió en tendencia en Twitter durante la primera vuelta de las presidenciales francesas celebradas ayer burlando la ley electoral que prohíbe la difusión de los sondeos a pie de urna hasta el cierre de los colegios electorales. Los internautas, sin embargo, demostraron ayer que se pueden sortear las normas con un poco de ingenio y sentido del humor. “ El tiempo : Amsterdam 28, Budapest 26, Vichy 16, Moscú 13”. Los orígenes húngaros del presidente-candidato, juegos de palabras con el apellido del socialista Hollande, alusiones a la Rusia comunista o al Gobierno colaboracionista de Vichy… Todo valió ayer para hacer circular desde primera hora de la tarde los datos de los institutos de sondeos.
With the thousands of references to "flan," "tomato" and the weather in Budapest, Hungary, that took place on French social media over the weekend, one might think France was overcome with excitement about a cooking expo in Central Europe. The truth? French election watchers were using code words to report early voting results in the country's presidential election, bypassing a national law that bans disclosing results before 8 p.m. on election days, according to The New York Times . Many Twitter users considered the online reporting an act of protest against the blackout law. "Flan" stood for François Hollande, the Socialist challenger to sitting President Nicolas Sarkozy — who was himself represented by the temperature in Budapest, as his father was born in Hungary.
French Election Watchers Protest Information Ban on Twitter
When it came to revealing early trends in the French presidential elections yesterday, coded postings on Twitter Inc. ruled by breaking the rules. “Weather Forecast: Netherlands 29.5 degrees, Hungary 25.5 degrees, USSR 14.5 degrees, Austria 14 degrees,” Anti_Nanti, a Twitter user with more than 4,000 subscribers, wrote at 1 p.m. yesterday, long before the 8:00 p.m. results deadline. He used the Netherlands for Francois Hollande, Hungary for President Nicolas Sarkozy, whose father was a Hungarian immigrant, USSR for the Left Front’s Jean-Luc Melenchon and Austria for the anti-immigrant National Front’s Marine Le Pen. Thousands of Twitter messages an hour were posted using the hashtag #radiolondres, a reference to the frequency created by the French resistance movement in London during World War II to send coded radio messages to German-occupied France.
Coded Twitter Messages Get Around French Electoral Results Rules
In the land of perpetual ennui , where humor is not a cultural norm, the French had their first round of presidential elections yesterday, and also their second revolution. This time, they didn’t have to show up at the Bastille with burning baguettes , they just stayed in their pajamas and revolted on Twitter, flouting la loi which bans the publication of election results before 8pm on election day. If you do, you’ll be slapped with a €75,000 fine ($99,000) and do time in La Conciergerie , where Marie Antoinette ate her horsey cake. But a certain provocateur marcvasseur asked his friends to come up with a Twitter hash tag to communicate coded election results, and #RadioLondres, for Charles de Gaulle’s WWII coded radio broadcasts to the French Resistance, was hatched.

La estricta prohibición de informar acerca de los resultados de las elecciones francesas hasta el cierre de urnas a las 20.00 horas ha generado una nueva vuelta de tuerca con el uso de las redes sociales. Ciertos medios de comunicación extranjeros, entre ellos algunos belgas y suizos, han divulgado antes de tiempo algunos datos de sondeos a pie de urna, aprovechando un vacío legal en la normativa electoral. A partir de estos datos, y con los filtrados de israelitas dentro del propio país galo, los usuarios de las redes sociales se han buscado la manera de poder ir comentando los sondeos antes de tiempo sin saltarse la ley.
La primera vuelta de las elecciones en Francia se celebró ayer 22 de abril con el triunfo del candidato aunque habrá segunda vuelta entre ambos el venidero 6 de mayo. La herramienta que he seguido para ver los resultados es , que muestra de manera gráfica e interactiva los resultados oficiales a nivel nacional y regional (sugiero vean la aplicación aquí ). Pero también ha sido un deleite seguir el .

French law prohibits the publication, by the media or any Internet-connected citizen, of voting results or estimates before 8 p.m. on election days in the presidential race. The best-laid plans could not stop Twitter, though, whose users skirted regulations with offbeat code words and communicated tallies ahead of the appointed hour on Sunday. The flan stood for François Hollande, the Socialist favorite, who finished the evening in the lead, with about 28 percent of the votes in the first of two rounds of voting. (Before losing weight for his presidential bid, the jovial Mr.Occasions to laugh or smile have been few and far between during the current French presidential election campaign, which has been obsessed with recession, unemployment, xenophobia. But today, April 22, 2012, as French voters elect two runner-up among ten candidates, they are finally having electoral fun on Twitter under the hashtag #RadioLondres [all links in French]. The ten French presidential candidates, with their The French electoral code enforces a Euro 75,000 (US $99,000) fine for violation of the confidentiality of the results and has dispatched 10 official “censors” to monitor the Web and enforce the ban until the official result time, 8 PM local time (GMT+1), despite the fact that neighbouring countries Switzerland and Belgium can communicate preliminary results whenever they please online. The ban unleashed a mischievous hashtag on French language Twitter: #RadioLondres .
