Until the end, the initiative remained secret,

Le Parisien.

Yesterday

the Quai d'Orsay announced that it had repatriated 51 people held in Kurdish camps in northeastern Syria.

It is the most massive operation ever carried out since the fall of the Islamic State in 2019. But the main novelty,

is that, for the first time, France has decided to repatriate adults from the camps.

Of the 51 people who landed at Vélizy-Villacoublay airport yesterday, 16 are women.

The other 35 are minors, including 7 unaccompanied children.

This decision is akin to a political turning point, France has so far applied the case-by-case doctrine for minors and refused to return mothers.

The situation of all these jihadist women, aged 22 to 39, was judicialized,

Le Parisien again.

Eight of them were the subject of an arrest warrant.

Seven were immediately brought before an investigating judge and placed in protective custody.

 For democracies, the fight against terrorism does not only consist in saving lives, but in trying to preserve what makes us human.

In this regard, respect for human rights is not an option, let alone an admission of weakness.

Marking a break (therefore), this first massive repatriation comes after the electoral deadlines and the trial of the attacks of November 13, also before a possible condemnation by the European Court of Human Rights 

justice must be rendered and the State must provide the means to the security services to guarantee the monitoring of these soldiers of Allah.

But this repatriation also forces the country to face up to its own failure, that of having abandoned part of its youth to merchants of hate.

Extracting child victims of jihad from the Syrian camps is a first step in restoring the dignity of the Republic

Serious things are beginning,

Emmanuel Macron met yesterday with a restricted government council to discuss the fight for purchasing power, a highly anticipated subject which will be at the heart of Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne's general policy speech this Wednesday.

failing to solicit the confidence of the deputies, will Elisabeth Borne manage to break the distrust of the French?

If the purchasing power law has test value, it is primarily on the ability of the Prime Minister to respond to the number one concern of the population, with consistency and efficiency.

 plethoric and breathless

focused on the known allies of Emmanuel Macron, this government seems to lack vision at the dawn of a legislature which promises to be complicated ,

Withdrawn into its square backyard, too isolated to dare to demand a vote of confidence from the National Assembly, the new team now has only one word in its mouth,
