LFI and the PCF formalize their agreement in view of the legislative elections

The “New Popular Ecological and Social Union” has one more member.

LFI formalized on Tuesday an agreement with the PCF for the legislative elections.

The Communists are thus following in the footsteps of EELV, which has already joined this left-wing coalition.

Minimum wage at 1,400 euros net, wage increase, retirement at 60, price freeze, ecological planning: the two parties have agreed on many points.

But they do not mention the exit from nuclear power, which the Communists are opposed to.

It remains to be seen whether the union will also be made with the PS.

The discussions between the rebels and the socialists are still blocking, in particular on the distribution of constituencies.

Pope Francis wants to travel to Moscow to meet Putin

The pope wants to use all his moral weight to stop the fighting in Ukraine.

In an interview with the Italian daily

Il Corriere della Sera

published on Tuesday, François says he is ready to go to Moscow to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"After 20 days of war, I asked Cardinal (Pietro) Parolin", number two in the Vatican, "to send Putin the message that I was ready to go to Moscow".

But nothing is done yet: “We have not yet received an answer and we are still insisting, although I am afraid that Putin cannot and does not want to have this meeting now.

For the pope, however, there is urgency.

“How do we fail to stop all this brutality?

We saw the same thing 25 years ago with Rwanda”, he notes, referring to the 1994 genocide during which 800,000 people, mainly from the Tutsi minority, were killed, according to the UN.

Sanofi admits a "failure" in the development of a vaccine against Covid-19

In front of its shareholders, Sanofi acknowledged that it had failed in the fight against the coronavirus.

The French pharmaceutical giant indeed explained on Tuesday, during its general meeting, that it had suffered a "failure" in the development of a vaccine against Covid-19, a niche in which it is clearly behind competitors like the American Pfizer.

“It is extremely harmful for public health (and) for us”, even admitted the chairman of the board of directors.

Serge Weinberg further explained that his group's 'culture' had hit an unusual 'time crunch', but renewed his confidence in his researchers and chief executive, Paul Hudson.
