On the front page
, Macron questions the "credibility" of Bojo
Emmanuel Macron questions the “
credibility
” of Great Britain and accuses him of wanting to modify certain parts of a treaty signed last year, in particular on fishing rights. Emmanuel Macron has, in any case, not mince words. "
When you spend years negotiating a treaty and a few months later you do the opposite of what was decided on the aspects that suit you the least, that is not a great sign of your credibility,
" declares the French president in an interview with the British daily
Financial Times
! "
Make no mistake, adds Emanuel Macron in the FT, (these disputes) are not only (important for) Europeans, but (for) all their partners
".
Obviously, Paris is playing the tension against London.
Macron and Biden put the ball to the ground
Conversely, in relations between France and the United States, it is the return to appeasement after the face-to-face Biden-Macron on the sidelines of the G20 in Rome. In appearance anyway. "
All is well between the United States and France
", launches, a bit ironically, the newspaper
Le Parisien
, after the American president admitted that, in the crisis of the submarines, what his country did was "
clumsy
”and was not done“
very elegantly
”. Admitted fault ... For
his part, Emmanuel Macron greeted Joe Biden with "concrete decisions" which "initiate a process of confidence
" between France and the United States, as if to "
definitively turn the page
", complete
The Parisian

Dishcloth for EDF on the stock market
Electricité de France, this month, would have lost 400 million euros by speculating on the electricity market.
It is the newspaper
Le Figaro
which reveals it.
According to this daily, the electrician's market activity subsidiary, and whose name is EDF Trading, "
would have suffered a loss of around 400 million euros in early October
".
It seems that it is a trader of this subsidiary, that is to say a market operator, who is at the origin of this costly disaster. He was speculating on an upcoming drop in electricity. Alas, his "
bet
" has gone wrong, explains
Le Figaro
, being reminded that, since early September, prices have on the contrary only increased, "
to levels never seen before. Logically, the trader could have kept his position and patiently waited for prices to settle down
”. But "
it was not that simple
", summarizes this newspaper.
Finally, the position taken by this operator of EDF becoming "
untenable
", he obviously had to "
abandon his bet at the worst moment
": in the first days of October, when the market reached record levels.
Le Figaro
reports that this trader - at the origin of the loss - "
saw his access to market software suspended, and a dismissal procedure would be initiated against him
".
Sarko supports Barnier through Morano interposed
Former Chiraquian minister Michel Barnier records the support of former Sarkozy minister Nadine Morano, in view of the next right-wing primary.
The MEP told
Le Figaro.
"
I decided to give my support to Michel Barnier (…) The firmness of his program and his international vision are major assets which make him the one who, for me, has the stature to become President of the Republic
”, declares Nadine Morano, according to whom Michel Barnier "
embodies a Gaullist right
".
And "
unlike others
", he "
never left Les Républicains
", adds Nadine Morano in
Le Figaro
.
Tahiti is rich!
She is a Tahitian sewn with gold. The mysterious winner of 220 million euros at EuroMillions validated her ballot in Tahiti. It was the first time she played, says the press release from the Française des Jeux, the group that organized the lottery. And
Le Parisien
ensures that the winner is a "
young Polynesian
" who would have "
multiplied the hiding places for her winning bulletin before finally receiving her historic gain
", under her bed and then in her clothes! This newspaper indicates that the now multimillionaire in euros wants in particular to travel "
to discover the snow
", which she has never seen, and that she wants to "
keep it simple
" and continue to "
walk in bare feet.
”(Not in the snow, shall we assume here)!
In any case, this "
young woman
" was lucky.
Le Parisien
even calculated that she had a one in 140 million chance of ticking the five correct numbers plus the two stars.
Not taking into account the supposed luck of living in Tahiti where, obviously, in advance, Santa Claus dumped on the head of a "
young woman
", not snow (there is no more snow). snow at Christmas), but a record rain of millions of euros.
