Two years after the sumptuous celebration of the end of the First World War during his 'memorial roaming' in the east and the north of France, it is in very small committee,

Le Figaro, that the president of the République closes this Wednesday the page of 100 years of the Great War.

Coronavirus requires, only about thirty people will participate in the ceremony this year, where Emmanuel Macron will commemorate another centenary: that of the installation of the tomb of the Unknown Soldier, placed under the vault of the Arc de triomphe on November 11, 1920.

Le Figaro

unlike 2018, the president will not take advantage of the ceremony at Place de l'Étoile to deliver a major speech.

On the other hand, he will do it a few hours later, at the Pantheon, during the tribute he will pay to the fighting writer Maurice Genevoix at the end of the day.

'The president wants to bring the idea of ​​a real continuity, beyond the century that separates them, between those of 14 and those of 2020',

, taking the title of one of the works of the late academician.

'The continuity is that our soldiers, today, fight - and die - for the values ​​of France.

In 1914, democracies faced empires,

.

Today, democracies - and especially ours - face the pandemic, separatism, terrorism ... Basically, we are fighting for the same values.

The performance is good to have obtained such results only a year after the onset of the disease,

Le Parisien.

To overcome the plague, it took 600 years.

It took 6 years to discover the infectious agent of AIDS.

For the Covid, 6 days

The combination of biology and computer science has made it possible to work miracles.

when we know that curing a Covid patient who has been in intensive care costs the community from 50,000 to 60,000 euros, the question of compulsory vaccination cannot not arise one day.

The Latest News from Alsace

There has been no scientific debate on the figures revealed when it is use and a form of security before the officialization of a discovery.

(…) Urgency is no excuse for the runaway, with sometimes tragic effects, further points out the Alsatian daily life.

We have to go quickly against the Covid, of course, but with no certainty.

Le Monde

recalibrate the stimulus plan announced at the beginning of September (in France), in a context where the prospect of a second reconfinement seemed excluded.

Without abandoning its long-term objectives, this plan must also focus on more immediate measures, to encourage consumption by the less privileged households and more directly stimulate the investment capacity of companies.

Admittedly,

Le Monde, the announcement of Pfizer (…) suggests a glimmer of hope.

But the challenge is such that it will take several months to materialize.

Until then,

it will be necessary to hold on by constantly improving the link between health and economy, in consultation and anticipation.

Two dimensions that have been sorely lacking so far.
