It is "
the Paca soap opera
", formulates
Le Figaro
, "
one twist chases the other
", Sophie Cluzel "
refuses to be a fuse
". This means that the presidential majority will be represented in the 1st round whereas, no later than last Sunday, Prime Minister Jean Castex, our listeners probably remember it, had declared the opposite,
announcing in
Le Journal du Dimanche
an alliance between La République en Marche and the list of the right-wing Les Républicains party led by Renaud Muselier, outgoing president of the region, immediately provoking a barrage from the right.
“
Worked and negotiated for a long time in high places
(…)
the alliance was to provoke a breathtaking effect
,
notes
Le Parisien
. But, torpedoed by LR, it ultimately had the effect of a sulphate.
"
But far from the South region, it is rather in Paris and on Emmanuel Macron that Le Figaro darts its arrows this morning. "It
is not Machiavelli who wills!
", Launches this daily,"
if the announcement by Jean Castex of the withdrawal from the list of Sophie Cluzel in favor of Renaud Muselier could be perceived as a new stroke of genius to fracture the right one year before the presidential election, the observation is today that of a major strategic weakness
”. Denouncing "
the tragicomedy of Paca
",
Le Figaro
believes that in this region as in others in France, this Paca soap opera can only "
strengthen
" the National Gathering of Marine Le Pen, which has good game to mock this week.
"Compromises"
of a part of the right "
with the Macronist devil
".
And
Le Figaro
to warn
, if the presidential majority thinks they have found the anti-RN weapon by sending the Minister of Justice Eric Dupond-Moretti to the marinist stronghold of Hauts-de-France, there again, "
the trap risks turning around against the Macronists in the in-between rounds: if they are not in a position to win, they will have to withdraw in favor of a right which now clearly refuses any alliance
”!
After a first shocking column that sparked a lively controversy last week, a new military column denouncing the socio-political and security situation is about to be published in France:
The management of the weekly
Valeurs Actuelles
, which published the first, confirms this information from the newspaper
Le Parisien
: a new military forum against the "
disintegration
" of the country is in preparation. And this forum in the making "
worries the government
", underlines
Le Parisien
, because the authors would this time be active soldiers who wish to remain anonymous. Being recalled that, in the political class, certain leaders had denounced a quasi-call for the insurrection launched by the first platform, while others welcomed a salutary start, and that the Minister of the Armed Forces had demanded that sanctions against the signatories , the direction of
Valeurs Actuelles
ensures the Parisian to expect "
hundreds, even up to
2,000 signatures
".
In the entourage of the Prime Minister, they pretend to be indifferent. “
All this smacks of organized manipulation
(…)
Let's wait and see, but even if a forum ends up leaving, if it is anonymous, frankly, and then, what good is it?
», Thus told the
Parisian
a source close to the government. But at the Elysee, the tone is less phlegmatic, a member of the "first circle of the president" stressing to this daily that "
security is a theme that is rising very strongly in public opinion
", an adviser to the executive launching - even this prediction: "
We will get beaten up if we give the opposition a centimeter of respite
",
on this theme, he said to the
Parisian
.
Opinion of great expenses on the macronie.
The investigation into the murder of a police officer during a banal drug control two days ago in Avignon, is moving forward in all directions to find the culprits on the run:
Being reminded that this drama, which angered the police, took place during the arrest of a drug transaction in the old town of this papal city in the south of France,
Le Parisien
reveals
that the investigators would have acquired the certainty that "
the dealer, at the origin of the transaction with the client, would not be the shooter
", that the latter "
never fled on a scooter
", and that the investigators would have a list of "
four potential suspects, local traffickers
".
