Cigarette with beak and worried forehead on the front page of
Liberation
, dark look on those of the
Parisian
as of
Figaro
.
"
Jean Louis Trintignant, the great silence
", launches
Libé
, in reference to a western in which he was the star.
End of the western.
Trintignant?
A "
great man of cinema and theater
", salutes
Le Figaro.
Unanimous tribute from the press, in Paris as elsewhere, in France.
Plus a tragic reminder, that of the disappearance of his daughter Marie, who died on August 1, 2003 under the blows of the furious Bertrand Cantat, singer of the French rock group Noir Désir.
In a book published four years ago, Jean-Louis Trintignant said he was "dead" that day.
No.
The actor passed away yesterday.
He was 91 years old.
No more Russian gas
“
No more one cubic meter of Russian gas arrives by gas pipeline on French territory
”, points out
Le Parisien
.
Officially, it was for technical reasons that the Russian company Gazprom made this cut.
But the Europeans who suffer from it, France, therefore, but also Poland, Bulgaria and Finland and, to a lesser extent, Germany, Austria and Italy, see it rather as a "
retaliatory measure
" in connection with their support for Ukraine.
Admittedly, the Ministry for the Ecological Transition "
wants to be reassuring
", notes this daily, but this interruption in the delivery of Russian gas by pipeline "
will inevitably have repercussions
", he admits.
Especially on prices.
As
Le Parisien
points out , “
the rate jumped to almost 130 euros per megawatt hour (yesterday), compared to around 100 euros on Wednesday.
It was around 30 euros a year ago
, ”reports this newspaper.
Le Figaro
has redone the accounts.
The price of gas on the European wholesale market has in fact "
jumped by 60% this week
", he calculates, comparing the gas flow to "
a river which first dries up downstream, furthest from its source, where water is becoming scarcer, gas of Russian origin no longer reaches France, Gazprom's customer the furthest to the west
”.
According to
Le Figaro
, “
the drying up of the flow arriving in France is also partly explained by the fact that gas is sold at a higher price in Germany than in France.
French suppliers receiving Russian gas, such as Engie, therefore have every interest in selling it across the Rhine rather than repatriating it to France
”!
Election Arms Vigil
Tomorrow, Sunday, second round of legislative elections.
And always the same fear, that of a strong abstention.
“
The Republic is you!
“Launches the front page of
Le Figaro
, to encourage its readers to go to the polls.
Last Republican media outburst with, in sight, a flagrant lack of interest in this election, however crucial.
Because as this daily remarks, the majority coalition Together!, which brings together macronists and centrists, and Nupes, that is to say the left alliance, “
each bring together around 12.5% of registrants.
Which means that more than 70% of French people of voting age feel if not hostile, at least foreign to these political families.
The fact that they have shared the public debate for eight weeks can only reinforce the desertion.
What does a slightly classic voter do when he has to choose between the Mélenchon-Sandrine Rousseau line and that of Borne-Pap Ndiaye?
ask this newspaper.
He is tempted to prepare for his vacation
.
Le Parisien
hardly writes anything else.
Taking stock of the electoral sequence of the presidential and legislative elections, this daily notes that “
essential
” questions have been “
skimmed
over ” there.
The French have especially retained “
punchlines, invectives and populist speeches
” , estimates
Le Parisien.
The country did not have the campaign it deserved.
Therefore, should we be surprised that 70% of young people did not want to vote?
“, he asks.
Tomorrow is another day, who knows?
