6.30 am, yesterday morning, in an apartment in Asnières-sur-Seine, a northwest suburb of Paris, French gendarmes arrest Félicien Kabuga, thus ending the run of the "  financier of the Rwandan genocide  ", one of the "  fugitives most sought after in the world,  "says Le Parisien Dimanche .

"  It is a thunderclap!" , says Alain Gauthier to Jeune Afrique . It is an immense joy: nobody believed it anymore!  Adds the co-founder of the Collective of Civil Parties for Rwanda.

But beware, warns Jeune Afrique , this figurehead of the Rwandan genocide behind bars, "  it is also the multiple complicities that have been brought for 25 years to Félicien Kabuga that risk being exposed  ".

Macron's health plan

It is announced, the French Minister of Health promises to present by the summer a new plan for the hospital. Olivier Véran said in the Journal du Dimanche : "  I want the plan to be presented this summer, declares the Minister of Health at the JDD, (…) the nation will have to make a major effort to recognize (the) role  " of the personnel of health. Being specified that his ministry perches rue de Ségur, in Paris, Olivier Véran found the formula. He wants to organize a "  Health Ségur  "!

For his part, the Secretary of State for Tourism Jean-Baptiste Lemoyne also told the JDD that, on June 21, "  the maximum number of places (must be) accessible so that the summer season can really start  ".

Coronavirus, the tsunami

If the government communicates so much and more, it may be mainly because the coronavirus crisis could also trigger a real tsunami, both economic and social. As Le Point points out , the coronavirus crisis constitutes "  the most violent economic shock since the great depression of the 1930s. To be universal, it strikes France and Europe with particular intensity  ". Attention, warns this weekly, France will record "  a fall of around 10% of its GDP, an increase in unemployment beyond 10%, a surge in deficits and public debt around 15% and 120% of GDP (…) This shock, which comes after four decades of dropping out, may mark its final downgrading. Our country can quickly become a big Italy, whose sovereignty, due to its over-indebtedness, would be alienated from the financial markets and from our partners in Northern Europe  . ”

In a file of Current Values entitled "  The coming tsunami  ", the economist Marc Fionrantino says he is "  very worried. Not because of the consequences of the pandemic but because of the social crisis that will hit our country, he predicts. Emmanuel Macron opened Pandora's box  , ”says the co-founder of MeilleurPlacement in Valeurs Actuelles.

In L'Express, the philosopher and historian Marcel Gauchet predicted that at the end of this crisis, "we will have rocked" for good "into the camp of the countries of the South ... The majority of French people are not yet aware of it  " .

Aurélien Taché backtracks

To make matters worse, the bleeding continues within La République en Marche, with a new defection, that of Aurélien Taché. Aurélien Taché, a member of the Val d'Oise, near Paris, and a historic figure of LREM, said this in the Journal du Dimanche this morning . This man on the left slams the door of Emmanuel Macron's party because, he said in the Journal du Dimanche , "  the opening was only made to the right  ".

Beyond this limit, your ticket is no longer valid

And then this question: how many victims has this crisis caused in retirement homes in France? The balance sheet could prove all the more burdensome because, very often, over-aged residents have been abandoned to their sad fate. "  How we sacrificed our old people,  " says Marianne. By carrying out its investigation, the reading of which is cold in the back, this weekly established that “  during almost a month, until the last week of March, centers of regulation (emergency help) refused to 'hospitalize number (of) residents  ' of retirement homes. Union delegate within a group of retirement homes, Isabelle Jallais tells Marianne that “  in many of our establishments, the Samu no longer came. I had nursing colleagues crying on the phone. With residents who were dying in their rooms and for whom there was nothing we could do  , ”she said to this weekly.

Marianne thus refers to a document in her possession in which would be recorded a real measure of discrimination for admissions to intensive care. As of March 23, this document entitled "  Management of patients suspected of Covid-19  ", would emanate from a hospital located in the Paris region and one of its paragraphs, applied "  at the height of the crisis (and) highlighted in yellow provides the criteria for "non-resuscitation". The first of these is age: over 75 years  ”. As this weekly highlights, "  a stain looms on the French hospital system  ".
