The American concessions revive the hope of a reopening of the Iranian nuclear file.

Which, if he had been " 

dead 

", would have meant " 

the Iranian bomb."

Or war

 ”, summarizes

Le Figaro.

But the new president of the United States, yesterday, "

 put oil in the wheels 

".

Beginning of relaxation therefore, but while the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency is expected today in Tehran, a French diplomatic source nonetheless confides in

Figaro

that the

situation remains "precarious"

on this Iranian nuclear issue, and that you have to "

try everything until the last minute

 ".

To be continued, therefore ...

The outcry of university "Islamo-leftism" pointed out by Frédérique Vidal

In France, this controversy over recent statements by the Minister of Higher Education, Research and Innovation, when Frédérique Vidal had denounced "

 Islamo-leftism

 " in universities.

Before Frédérique Vidal tries, as she has undertaken to do very soon, to close the debate,

Le Figaro

devotes its headline to the said controversy relating to what this newspaper calls a "

 militant drift 

" in France.

For this newspaper, there is no doubt, not only is “

 Islamo-leftism

 ” a reality that has established itself on campus, not only is it only a side of “ 

sophisticated stupidity 

”, but

Le Figaro

n 'sees in it "that 

one of the symptoms of an ideological war (which) installs the obsession with race, gender, identity, from research laboratories to public radio studios 

" and which " 

imposes concepts as uncertain as they are militant: “white privilege”, “gender fluid”, “systemic racism”… No freedom for the enemies of this doxa,

Le Figaro

is scandalized 

.

Trade unions and associations stand guard

 ”.

And as the leaders of the French left had unanimously condemned the remarks of Frédérique Vidal,

Le Figaro

emphasizes that they are not in phase with their supporters since, according to an Ifop poll for CNews and Sud Radio, reported by the same

Figaro

, " 

53% of French people close to the PS believe that Islamo-leftism corresponds to a current of widespread thought

" in France.

The supporters of La France Insoumise are 40% to share this position, and 45% among those of Europe Écologie-Les Verts.

What to give the feeling of a gap between the accusations of the figures of each party and many of their voters 

”, underlines

Le Figaro

.

Threats of blacklisting for… lawyer Olivier Duhamel

Threat of disciplinary sanctions for Olivier Duhamel.

Accused of incest in the book of his daughter-in-law Camille Kouchner, this political scientist, newly registered as a lawyer, is now the subject of internal proceedings at the Paris Bar:

Two dailies,

Liberation

and

Le Parisien

, reveal this disciplinary procedure initiated by the Council of the Order of the Paris Bar.

The first to point out that “ 

the President of the Bar of Paris has decided to initiate a disciplinary investigation against Duhamel.

He informed the Council of the Order on Tuesday and should quickly appoint a rapporteur, who will be responsible for investigating the case

 ", but also that Olivier Duhamel" 

risks a temporary ban from practicing or even permanent removal from the bar, rather than a simple reprimand or warning

 ”.

The second to report the same information, but also to specify that "

the case can also end in a simple admonition

 ".

And even in the event that the alleged facts alleged in the book of the daughter of former minister Bernard Kouchner are prescribed, these two dailies emphasize that the penal prescription does not apply in the context of a disciplinary procedure of this type. .
