Nothing official, but soon an announcement, according to
Le Journal du Dimanche
.
To fight against the spread of the coronavirus, the reconfinement of France "
is only a matter of days
", indeed claims
Le Journal du Dimanche
.
According to this weekly, it is even "
Wednesday
" that Emmanuel Macron should announce it "
in person
" to the French, for an entry into force of the device before the end of the coming week, a minister, that
Le Journal du Dimanche
qualifies as "
important
" (others will appreciate), specifying the rest that this third confinement should be established for "
at least for three weeks
".
Info or intox ?
In this same weekly, this important minister who is that of National Education stressing that he intends to keep schools open in the event of new confinement, the reader, rightly, would have reason to conclude that, this time around , if Jean-Michel Blanquer says so ... the third confinement, it would be more information ...
The more so as
Le Journal du Dimanche
also announces another imminent measure: the suspension "
in the coming days of flights with countries outside the European Union very at risk, such as Brazil
".
Re-containment, will come - like the enemy of
the Tartar Desert
- won't come - like Godot, who is still awaited? .. What seems obvious, in any case, is that this true-false suspense in no way alters the Emmanuel Macron's rating, on the contrary.
In an Ifop poll for
Le Journal du Dimanche
, the president's popularity rose two points in January, to 40 percent of those polled happy with the president.
It is ten points more than the rating of Nicolas Sarkozy at this stage of his mandate, and sixteen more than that of François Hollande.
Definitely ...
Olivier Duhamel, the noose is tightening
Emmanuel Macron who went on the offensive yesterday against another scourge: incest.
The Head of State announces a series of future measures to fight against sexual violence against children.
In a video message, the president assured that French law would be "
adapted
" to further protect children who are victims of incest and sexual violence and to leave "
no respite for the aggressors
".
As of tomorrow, the Minister of Justice Eric Dupond-Moretti, for this purpose, "
will receive the actors of child protection
", and the question of
"the age of consent
" will be at the heart of the work, reports
Le Parisien Sunday
.
In his message yesterday, Emmanuel Macron praised
"the courage of a sister who could no longer be silent
".
Without naming her, the president, in this video, thus referred to Camille Kouchner, daughter of former minister Bernard Kouchner, who accuses, in his autobiographical book
La familia grande
, her father-in-law, political scientist Olivier Duhamel, of having sexually assaulted her twin brother, a teenager at the time of the acts alleged by her, at the end of the 1980s.
Case which is still gaining momentum this morning.
Le Journal du Dimanche
announces that "
in the coming days, the two children, now in their thirties, adopted in Chile
" by Olivier Duhamel and his wife, must be heard by "
the Brigade for the protection of minors
".
In
Le Parisien Dimanche
, Julien, the eldest of the Kouchner siblings, after having paid tribute to the courage of his brother and sister, declares that, according to him,
"there is only one criminal
", by rebelling against “
The actions of his father-in-law
” Olivier Duhamel.
Slamming of doors at Le Siècle club
Another consequence of the Olivier Duhamel affair: two figures from the very elitist Parisian club Le Siècle, which was precisely chaired by Olivier Duhamel, recently resigned.
The weekly
Marianne
reveals that the former secretary general of the government Marc Guillaume and the lawyer Jean Veil have indeed resigned from the Century.
"
An earthquake by ricochet
", formulates this magazine, in reference to these two additional resignations, unprecedented within this "
ultra-select club of All-Paris of business and politics
".
To measure the importance of this information, it should first be noted that Le Siècle is “
a pure place of power.
An obligatory meeting point for those who aspire to lead and those who want to continue to do so (...) Infinitely better than a Legion of Honor, being invited to the dinners of the Century is enough to signify belonging to this nomenklatura, who are satisfied above all with herself,
”explains
Marianne.
This magazine therefore reports that, "
on January 6, the full board (a) endorsed without batting an eyelid the resignation of its 25th president
" Olivier Duhamel and, a week later, those of Marc Guillaume, who was vice-president of the club , but also, two days later still, "
as in a roped party which unscrews, (that of) the lawyer Jean Veil, 23rd president of the club between 2014 and 2016
" (being recalled that Jean Veil is one of the sons of Simone Veil and that he was Jacques Chirac's lawyer).
As
Marianne
points out
, Jean Veil “
admits to having been
“ informed between 2008
and 2011 ”
of the alleged incestuous acts of his“ childhood friend
”
Olivier Duhamel.
But the lawyer assures this weekly that he was "bound by professional secrecy
"
, a "
strict
"
secret
, he insists, adding that, in the Olivier Duhamel case, he did "
strictly nothing to be ashamed of
”.
As Alfred de Musset used to say, it's called
La Confession d'un enfant du… Siècle
