In this "world war" against the virus, the French president, to galvanize the troops, gives the start of the " 

race against time

 " against the variants of this scourge, calling in

Le Journal du dimanche

for " 

international collective action

 ".

It is " 

rightly

 " that African countries " 

challenge us

 " on their access to vaccines, says Emmanuel Macron to the

JDD

, " 

we must further accelerate efforts, because every week counts,

 " he adds.

The Head of State also wants " 

the Chinese and the Russians

 " to participate in this crusade so that their vaccines "are 

part of this great multilateral effort against the pandemic

 ".

And he calls for " 

more transparency

 ", both scientific and " 

on contracts between countries and pharmaceutical companies

 ."

Meanwhile, tension is mounting in hospitals in France

The Sunday Journal

reports a " 

circular

 " from the Ministry of Health which sets in motion a " 

crisis organization

 " in hospitals and clinics next Thursday.

Clearly, summarizes the

JDD

, these care establishments will have to reorganize themselves by " 

increasing the number of beds and by deprogramming operations

 ".

We found Olivier Duhamel.

Accused of alleged incest in the book by his daughter-in-law Camille Kouchner, the political scientist locks himself up in a studio in the heart of… Paris

It was said in Switzerland.

Well no.

The Parisian Sunday

spotted Olivier Duhamel in the 5th arrondissement of the French capital, in a " 

studio

 " where he " 

hides

 ", rue de Bièvre, near the former home of François Mitterrand, not far from the Maison de la Mutualité " 

Mecca of the French left

 ," said the paper, in which a " 

riparian

 " said Olivier Duhamel believe " 

would be the invisible man

 "!

Invisible, he is no longer, he is the principal of the very upscale Saint-Jean-de-Passy high school in Paris.

He is charged with alleged sexual assault

The weekly

Le Point

and the daily

Le Figaro

brought this case to light.

According to these two media, Daniel Chapellier, 71, principal of the Saint-Jean-de-Passy Catholic school, in the very chic district - as its name suggests - of Passy, ​​was " 

indicted for assault sexual

 ”on a 14-year-old student, says

Le Point

.

According to

Le Figaro

, " 

homosexual pornographic material would have been discovered in his computer, seized by the investigators

 ".

The principal disputes the accusations and announced his intention to file a complaint for slanderous denunciation.

Also on the front page this week, Eric Zemmour, who would be tempted by the presidential election!

:

On the front page of

L'Express

.

For three months, this weekly investigated the hypothesis of "Zemmour president", because " 

some dream of it, think about it, work on it

 ", as this journalist, essayist and polemicist has become an " 

object of fantasy within the right and the extreme right

 "in France.

According to

L'Express

, a former local official of the Bloc Identitaire (a group of far-right activists), "is 

working on the development of a popular online petition" jesignepourzemmour.fr ", which should be launched in March

 ".

Why this One of

L'Express

devoted this week to Éric Zemmour.

Is it because, as this same newspaper rightly points out, Unes such as "Zemmour president", "Zemmour, man of the year", "Who is (really) Eric Zemmour", assured the magazine

Valeurs Actuelles

" record sales ”?

Possible.

In any case, at the National Gathering, President Marine Le Pen is annoyed.

Speaking of Eric Zemmour, she lets go to

L'Express

with irony: “ 

There is wanting and there is power.

When I was young, I wanted to be Miss France

!

(…)

However, even Marine Le Pen agrees, Zemmour has become a brand

 ”.

So ?

So

L'Express

wonders.

What if the French were ultimately very numerous to think like him, like those Americans in love with Trump that part of the United States did not want to see before they suddenly seized power

?

In the

Spirou

comic strip

, we would have called it L'ombre du Z…
