On the front page of the press, the victory in Argentina of center-left candidate Alberto Fernandez, Sunday's primaries.
Considered a repeat of the October presidential election, this election marks "the victory of Peronism" on the current head of state, Mauricio Macri, according to La Razon . The Spanish daily recalls that Alberto Fernandez has as a pastor Cristina Kirchner, the former president implicated in several corruption cases. The prospect of a possible return to business, as well as its promise to renegotiate the deal with the IMF, the International Monetary Fund, is frightening markets - and the 19% peso fell yesterday. "The fear of a return of the populists causes a huge decline of the Argentine money", summarizes The Financial Times - the British daily already announces the probable defeat, in two months, the candidate of the "markets", Mauricio Macri. "Macri put into the market," confirms Clarin . The Argentine newspaper explains its setbacks by the fact that "the vote-sanction" finally prevailed over "the fear" of the return of the populists. An analysis similar to that of La Nacion , another Argentinian daily - which accuses Mauricio Macri of having bet, in vain, on a "strategy of the fear of Kirchnerism". "There is no point in making citizens feel guilty about their vote," the paper concludes - regretting that the head of state has not done enough "self-criticism".
Also on the front page is the willingness of the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia to resolve their dispute in Yemen. While Riyad supports the Sunni government in exile recognized by the international community, Abu Dhabi supports separatist militias in the south of the country - divisions that weaken the Saudi-led coalition, and have led to fierce fighting, the latter weeks, in Aden, the Emirates and the Saudi kingdom are now trying to minimize these rivalries, as evidenced by the Emirati newspaper The National - which ensures that both sides have discussions between Yemenis, their "priority". The same is true for the Saudi daily Arab News , which calls on both parties to "resolve their differences through dialogue". Meanwhile, civilians remain "trapped" in the war between the coalition and Houthi rebels backed by Iran, recalls the French newspaper Ouest-France , who is alarmed by a new "degradation" of the humanitarian situation in Yemen, after 5 years of war.
The French press also discusses the possible consequences in France of the Esptein case, the American financier accused of sexually exploiting dozens of minors, and who was found dead on Saturday in prison. This affair that "shakes America" would be in the process of "splashing" France, according to La Dépêche du Midi - which reports that the ministers and Secretary of State Marlène Schiappa and Aurélien Taquet, as well as an association Child Protection, request the opening of an investigation in France, where Jeffrey Epstein went frequently, and even had a home in Paris. According to L'Obs , who analyzed his address book of 2004/2005, this document, published in 2015, would give "a pretty good idea of the life that Epstein could lead in the capital", where he could have also used so-called very young "masseuses". A section entitled "Massage-Paris" appears in this notebook, and includes about thirty names.
Finally a word, before telling us tomorrow, speculations on the transfer of Neymar. According to L'Equipe , Real Madrid and FC Barcelona are fighting to recruit the Brazilian star - a "clasico" on the front page of the French sports daily, which recalls that Neymar was again conspired, Sunday night, at the Parc des Princes , by the Parisian fans. Between PSG and Brazilian striker, the divorce is definitely consumed - and Neymar now try to pressure Paris to leave as soon as possible, even this week, according to the Catalan newspaper Sport . Who will win the piece? According to Marca , Lionel Messi would go out of his way to bring his friend Neymar to Barça, but the bet would be too high: the Spaniards will have to pay nearly 51million euros per year to pay Neymar the equivalent of the salary he is currently collecting at PSG ...
