The emerging post-confinement, between changes in the daily life of the French, and political turmoil to come, is reflected in the kiosks by an apparent relief. Liberation draws up an " embodied  " assessment  of these fifty-five days, through fifteen portraits of personalities who marked this confinement, and Le Parisien reviews "  what these 55 days have turned upside down in our lives  ", with a prism scrutinizer of daily life. But on closer inspection, the least we can say is that post-confinement promises to be agitated. 

This unprecedented period in recent history will end for all accounts. Because already, complaints are multiplying in France :

Recently, in L'Express , the demographer Emmanuel Todd had created controversy by claiming the need to punish our leaders with prison and financial sanctions for their management of the coronavirus crisis. "  We will know that the world has changed when those who put us in trouble are in court ," said Emmanuel Todd in L'Express (...) We must make examples, with prison terms and financial sanctions. French society needs morals, and there is no morality without punishment.  "

Opinion clearly shared by more and more complainants, since the day before yesterday, "  the Court of Justice of the Republic had already registered 61 complaints against ministers  ", reveals Mediapart. This online newspaper reports that in the Paris court, “  the last count of the prosecution reports 43 complaints registered. These are, essentially, complaints against X filed by individuals for " endangering the life of others", "abstention from fighting a dangerous incident", and sometimes involuntary injuries or homicides  ", specifies Mediapart . Which site notes that, among all this litigation, complaints from individuals, the sick, relatives of victims and carers, target "  Prime Minister Édouard Philippe, the former Minister of Health Agnès Buzyn and his successor Olivier Véran  "

But there are not only complaints, there are also political and social issues. Starting with the potentially explosive issue of wages :

The day after the publication of a note from the Institut Montaigne , which caused a stir in France, because in broad lines, this think-tank close to French employers recommends asking French workers to make new sacrifices while working more to restore economic activity in the country (and I said in broad terms), this morning an investigation that also promises to make a big splash.

According to a Harris Interactive poll for the mutual health and welfare group Aésio, published by Le Parisien , if "  90% of employees want an exceptional bonus for those who remain loyal to the job during confinement, 74% of bosses are hostile and alone 24% approve of the idea  ”. You heard right, Le Parisien this morning indicates that three  out of four “  bosses ” do not want to hear about an exceptional bonus for those who were “  on the front line  ” during confinement. "  As for thinking about a new salary scale wanted by 73% of employees, 94% of managers do not want to hear about it,  " says Le Parisien .

It promises, and on the political level, it pitched more and more strongly in the majority :

According to information from the economic daily Les Echos … which Le Parisien confirms this morning: “  A dozen or even more deputies could leave the benches of the Republic on the march to the National Assembly and join a dozen other elected officials to create a ninth group at the Palais Bourbon. Its name: Ecology, Democracy, Solidarity. For LREM, finished the absolute majority , warns Le Parisien . The political blast would then be major, putting an end to the absolute majority enjoyed by the macronist group in the hemicycle for three years  ”. This leads Le Parisien to launch this morning a “ storm among walkers  ” notice  . Welcome to the village of refractory Gauls ...

Moscow, where the parade that was to take place today has been canceled. Gloomy atmosphere in the capital of Russia :

Initially planned today on Red Square in Moscow, this parade was to be "  the big event of this year 2020  ", explains Le Figaro. On the occasion of the twenty years of filling the master of the Kremlin, it was to be chaired by Vladimir Putin, in the presence of Chinese number one Xi Jinping and French President Emmanuel Macron. The coronavirus “  not only spoiled the grandiose celebration of the 3Jour de la Victoire3,” notes Le Figaro . (He) changed everything, also forcing the head of the Kremlin to postpone sine die the referendum on constitutional reform, scheduled for April 22, which was to pave the way for his possible continuation in office until 2036  ”. This is what this daily newspaper calls "  the rotten spring of Vladimir Putin  ".
