“ 

Champions! 

», With an exclamation point: this is the headline, simple and precise, of

La Voix du Nord

.

Lille, French football champion: “ 

Lille did not tremble last night, when it came to completing a historic season by winning 2 goals to 1 in Angers.

The LOSC won the fourth title of champion of France in its history, causing the jubilation of its supporters.

 "

Indeed, notes the daily northerner, the police who had cordoned off the Grand Place in Lille, had to give ... " 

I

l had to let the party take place there on the pavement, on the historic square. In the end, hundreds and then thousands of fans of the Lille club gathered at the foot of the Goddess, under the windows of La Voix du Nord and the Théâtre du Nord, to dance, sing, crack smoke, start fireworks. artifice… The party was up to the frustration of the people of Lille, deprived of a stadium, deprived of contact with their loving team for many months. So, of course, the barrier gestures were no longer respected,

again points out the northern daily

, the wearing of the mask became very uncertain, the gauge of 1,500 multiplied by 4 or 5, but the party poured out like a wave that we cannot stop.

 "

From Tarantino to Inspector Derrick

Le Parisien

, the newspaper, remains a good player: “ 

Bravo Lille!

(…) It's a Ch'titre!

 », Exclaims the Paris daily.

“ 

Lille is the 2021 French champion in the face and beard of PSG.

The Northerners needed a victory to ensure the coronation, they never trembled in Angers, by subduing a totally demobilized opponent.

The club of the capital has never been virtually champion, the Mastiffs shooting first.

The last day will have chosen to put charentaise,

note

The Parisian, and to play it cushy while the entire 2020-2021 fiscal year will have seduced with its permanent twists and turns, its incessant reversals, Lyon, Paris, Lille and even Monaco each believing in their turn to be in the Grail.

37 days of doing punk to, in the end, drink a mint verbena: Ligue 1 started as a Tarantino and ended with a rerun from Inspector Derrick.

 "

“ 

The highest in France,

 ” for its part, launches

L'Équipe

.

Logic, for the sports daily: “ 

Christophe Galtier's men were only beaten 3 times in this L1 season (while PSG suffered 8 defeats…).

 "

Christophe Galtier who makes the front page of

Provence

, his arms raised in victory, with the title: " 

a champion Marseille!"

 "

The Lille coach is indeed a native of Marseille, and a former Olympian, since he wore the colors of OM from 82 to 87, then from 95 to 97, before being their assistant coach from 99 to 2001. .

Macron and the Youtubers: the policy of emptiness?

Also on the front page, the meeting between Emmanuel Macron and McFly and Carlito. “ 

The President of the Republic, who had challenged the two Youtubers in February, accepted as promised to receive them at the Elysee Palace for a humorous exchange,

notes

Le Parisien. But,

points out the newspaper

, the video of the meeting did not make everyone smile and annoyed even in his majority.

"Indeed,"

behind the tone of schoolboy, a very political bet

 , "said

Le Parisien

.

For

Le Figaro, “

this video is unprecedented in the history of political communication. It is therefore anything but anecdotal, and says something serious about the way in which power now considers communication and political function today.

 "

Same dismay for

Les Latest Nouvelles d'Alsace: “

the sequence is not only embarrassing.

It is also very revealing of the advanced state of decomposition of political discourse and of the completion of this spectacle society prophesied by Debord.

Corporate communication as an ersatz policy, emptiness as a means of capture.

Without knowing how to speak to young people, concludes the Alsatian daily, it is a question of distracting them, of entering their field of vision.

The number of views on the Internet is assumed to be worth voting and joining
