One month before the election, Donald Trump is in the hospital.
Tested positive for Covid-19, the American president, in the midst of an election campaign, is forced to upset his own.
The president in a helicopter, direction the hospital!
Real twist and real-false hopes ... The Republican candidate will have to give up here.
He will have to give up his electoral meetings there (not the same!), Donald Trump treated with an experimental remedy.
The press, as rarely, is seized with frenzy.
Le Figaro
underlines "
the irony of the situation
", evokes a "
cataclysm
", and reports this remark from the creator of the
House of Cards series
.
Beau Willimon, that's his name, said that such a twist "
would not have lasted ten seconds
" if it had been proposed by screenwriters!
As usual, the President of the United States having announced the news in a tweet, the daily
Liberation
believes that this was "
probably his first positive tweet
"!
Very hard, Libé remarks: “
We already knew that Donald Trump had done nothing to protect his fellow citizens from the terrible pandemic which has raged in the United States more than in any other country in the world;
we now know that he was not even able to protect himself from it
”.
Do not throw any more!
The green Hidalgo of Paris
Coronavirus again, but in Paris this time, where the mayor is not in favor of the possible closure of restaurants to avoid the spread of the epidemic if, by Monday, the French capital were to be placed in "
maximum alert zone
”.
Anne Hidalgo told
Le Parisien
newspaper
.
"
If a temporary closure measure came into effect, it will have to be applied," declares the Parisian councilor.
But we must do everything to maintain most of our economic and social life
”.
In this interview, the mayor of Paris also announces new measures to come in the capital - new cycle paths, new streets reserved for pedestrians, new car-free lanes on the banks of the Seine, all described in the front page of "
green bidding
" by
Le Parisian
.
Macronian Haro on Radical Islam
In the press also, the plan to fight against "
radical Islam
" by Emmanuel Macron.
What the press appreciated was the president's balancing act.
As
Liberation
underlines
, this speech "
was greeted by irreconcilable adversaries, those who repeatedly accuse each other on social networks of being" Islamophobic "or, conversely," Islamogauchists
".
However, complete
Libé
, the
political
“
weather
” remains “
fraught with threats
” on this oh so delicate theme.
More clearly,
Le Figaro
is delighted with this speech delivered yesterday at Les Mureaux by Emmanuel Macron, a speech that this newspaper describes as "
strong
".
But beyond the speech, "
the battle begins
", warns
Le Figaro.
It is only just beginning, predicts this daily, by denouncing a "
moral intimidation
" operated by "
the chorus of the indignant (which) already intones its painful refrain:" Discrimination, stigmatization, exclusion "
".
"
Indignant
" who use the resources of "
victim rhetoric
" wonderfully
, denounces
Le Figaro
, and who wear "
the antiracist tunic
" which is, according to this newspaper, only "
indigenism and decolonialism
".
Attention, "
the facility would be to give in, the courage to resist it
", warns
Le Figaro.

Online newspaper that denounces "white collar criminals" practicing in Jersey, "

War report, in desolation.
Welcome to hell, whose door here is called Martouni, a "
ghost town
" pounded by rockets from the Azerbaijani army, where the newspaper
Liberation went
, in the heart of the region where the "
embers
" of the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan reignited.
