The madman of the White House has struck again,
exclaims
Liberation
.
We thought we had seen it all heard it all.
We told ourselves that every day taking us away from the November election would end up calming Donald Trump.
That every court ruling refuting accusations of fraud would force him to recognize the victory of his Democratic opponent.
With the official handover on January 20 approaching, Republicans would bring the incumbent president to his senses.
We were wrong,
point
Release.
Donald Trump therefore believed it possible, as revealed by the Washington Post, to call the Republican electoral official of Georgia to insistently ask him to 'find 11,780 votes' in order to reverse the result of the presidential election in this state.
We pinch each other, but the recording of the conversation leaves no room for doubt: the still tenant of the White House dares to ask his interlocutor to tamper with the result.
"
Southwest also
cannot
believe
:
“whoever believed Donald Trump finally aware of his defeat after the failure of all his legal remedies, contemplates, dumbfounded, the rearguard fight of the billionaire.
Until the last second of his damn mandate, he will try to disturb the system.
(…) This attempt to force a public official to cheat has enough to disgust more than one Republican voter still attached to decency in politics.
By his excesses, Donald Trump tarnishes his exit from the stage every day.
And this scorched earth tactic will leave its mark.
"
Deleterious climate
And what seems incredible,
Le Figaro
adds
, is that
“far from being isolated, Donald Trump has gathered many allies.
He has so far retained the support of a majority of Republican voters, who view the outcome of the ballot with suspicion, and of some elected officials from his own camp.
Eleven senators and nearly 140 Republican representatives in Congress,
specifies
Le Figaro, have (indeed) announced their intention to oppose the official proclamation of the results of a number of contested states during the certification which must take place. tomorrow.
Their movement is supported by Vice President Mike Pence, who is to chair the session of Congress.
These elected officials do not have a sufficient majority to change the outcome of the vote, but their action contributes to worsening an already quite deleterious climate.
"
Moreover, continues
Le Figaro
, on Sunday, the ten former Secretaries of State for Defense published a column in the
Washington Post
to warn of the need for a peaceful political transition and to repeat that 'the American army does not' has no role to play in determining the results of an election '.
"A"
platform that sounds like a call to reason,
notes the newspaper,
and a warning, as if the threat of a putsch was imminent

Vaccination: the government under pressure
Also on the front page, the vaccination campaign against Covid which is slipping in France ...
"
The government under pressure
", headlines
Le Parisien
.
“
Failures in the supply chain, complexity of obtaining consent, and lack of available doctors.
Here are the various reasons which explain the too slow start of the vaccination campaign
, points out the newspaper.
Suddenly, Emmanuel Macron "
gathered the ministers concerned yesterday at the Elysee Palace to try to regain control ... and to accelerate the resources committed.
"
Comment from the
Parisian
: “
the president had rightly declared last March: 'we are at war'.
Now is the time to lead her: if the quantities promised by Brussels are there, her hand should no longer shake.
We must vaccinate quickly and en masse.
"
Not a moment to lose!
Indeed, we are
"in a state of emergency
", underline
Les Latest Nouvelles d'Alsace
.
“
What is shocking is the state's degree of unpreparedness, especially if we compare it with that of our neighbors.
What appeals is the omnipotence of a Ministry of Health overwhelmed by a logistical part that it does not control, what hurts is the lack of communication with local communities insufficiently associated with operations while they are as close as possible to the realities on the ground.
(…) It is not too late yet, but there is already a moment to lose,
affirm
Les DNA.
If this virus has taught us one thing, it is that we must not give it the slightest lead.
Because it pays for itself in lives.
