No one in the executive talks about it.

,

(followed or not by a vote, the question was not decided on July 3)

and serious things will begin in Bourbon Palace.

In the longer term, the Élysée promises that the famous National Council for Refoundation will return to the table.

And then there is also what we do not know: who will enter, who will leave this government?

 asks

Liberation.

Will the eco-friendly Yannick Jadot cross the Rubicon?

Ministers Damien Abad and Chrysoula Zacharopoulou, implicated in cases of sexual violence of very different natures, will they be dismissed?

And then who, in the opposition groups, will the majority manage to convince text after text?

 »

And how ?

In any case, " 

with this reshuffle, Macron now intends to regain control and accelerate

," says

Le Parisien

.

reports

Le Monde

Peter Brook is no more

The death of Peter Brook… " 

To be and no longer to be

 ", sighs

Liberation

on the front page.

“ 

The director with an immense career marked by Shakespeare, theoretician of a scenic writing without artifice, reduced to the quintessence of the text and almost without decoration, died yesterday at the age of 97.

(…)

With him, it is a memory of several theatrical continents that is buried or crumbles, as he had made the search for all existing scenic forms the very material of his work

 ”.

Working is too hard...

And then to read on the

Figaro

website this survey on “ 

those French people who no longer want to work… 

(…)

Companies can no longer find candidates to hire, executives dream of sabbaticals and early retirement, young graduates are demanding meaning and more time for their personal life… What if work was no longer really popular in France?

 asks

Le Figaro

.

 Something has changed in the relationship that the French have with work.

The phenomenon has only increased with the health crisis. 

(…)

The novelty

, explains

Le Figaro is above all due to the fact that the very idea of ​​working less, or better, or not at all, has become synonymous with happiness in the eyes of many employees, including highly qualified executives exhausted by a professional life that they consider exhausting and sometimes uninteresting.

They have only one idea in mind: to reduce the sails, to devote more time to their family, to their personal life, to their passions... Some open bed and breakfasts in the countryside, others seize the opportunity for a voluntary departure plan to afford early retirement... It's time for

"slow working" (that is to say: work less, work better...)

Fulfillment and the quest for meaning are on everyone's lips
