In the press, estimates at the end of the first round of the presidential election, yesterday, in Tunisia. Official results will only be announced tomorrow.

Polling institutes give Kaïs Saïed and Nabil Karoui in the lead, two candidates who call themselves "anti-system", and whose qualification for the second round, if it is confirmed, is presented as a political "earthquake" by Al Chourouk . According to the Tunisian newspaper, the scores of Kaïs Saïed, a conservative academic, and businessman Nabil Karoui, currently incarcerated for alleged "tax evasion" and "money laundering", mean the "fall" of traditional parties, in power since the revolution of 2011. Business News evokes the "disinterest" - and even "disgust" of Tunisians at the origin of these results, this face-to-face Saeed / Karoui: "Conservatism against populism : the choice will not be simple and will not be done without tears and without pain ", already warns the Tunisian site. Eight years after the revolution, Digital Tunisia has the wave to the soul. "As the country builds the foundations of a strong and durable democracy, citizens do not find a better choice than to take refuge in conservatism or populism". "Something has necessarily messed up". Tunisia Numérique, another Tunisian site, wants to be optimistic. The site recalls that this Tunisian presidential is still "an exception, and an example of democracy in the Arab world", both by "the multitude of applications", 26 in total, "the respect of the right of every citizen to be a candidate "Or" the number of televised debates ". Tunisia Numérique refers to a democratic exercise "in all its splendor", in an Arab world "where one generally knows in advance the identity of the new president and the occult powers, often foreign, behind his enthronement".

And it is a fact, this election is followed closely by the neighbors of Tunisia, starting with Algeria, where the power announced yesterday the date of the presidential election. According to El Moudjahid , Acting President Abdelkader Bensalah set this date as December 12, according to the will of the army chief of staff, General Gaid Salah, who wanted the presidential election to take place before the end of the year, "a strategic goal", according to the official journal - which explains that this decision avoids "a prejudicial constitutional vacuum", and to elect a "legitimate" President of the Republic. But these arguments do not convince the opposition daily El Watan , who regrets to see "power (go) to the end of its logic", "despite the opposition of the popular movement." The protesters continue to demand the departure of Gaïd Salah and Abdelkader Bensalah, who is seen in Hic's drawing, offering them, begging them, in vain, to go to the polls. A drawing found on Twitter .

In France, Emmanuel Macron punched the table and threatened his ministers with a reshuffle, for lack of good results. This is what Le Figaro says, which tells the funny return of the government. According to the newspaper, the president had blown hard in the bronches of his ministers last week, promising that if they did not change, he would change them. Emmanuel Macron would be convinced that one of the reasons for the anger of the "yellow vests" comes from the lack of results since 2017. The entourage of Professor Emmanuel Macron would have suddenly imagined a kind of continuous control, in the form of an application, whose president would be the only one to access the data, an app that tracks in real time the implementation of reforms voted by the government. Concretely, each reform has, it seems, an entry with a small green bar, if everything goes well, red, if it hangs. The red of shame for ministers who have not worked well enough. We do not know yet if the president has also planned bonnets ...

Before we tell you tomorrow, I suggest you take a look at the British press, as always very inspired by the statements of Boris Johnson. The Prime Minister now assures that "huge progress" has been made in recent days to reach an agreement on Brexit and even compares his country to the superhero Hulk: "The more Hulk gets angry, the more Hulk becomes strong and he always escapes, even if he looked well tied up, and this is the case of this country. Did Ben Johnson really think of himself? This is understood in any case the cartoonists of his country, including Ben Jennings for The Guardian , which shows in Hulk "pouting" Westminster raising, under the impassive eye of European negotiators. Drawing also from Morland, for The Times, where we see BoJo tempting the United Kingdom in the manner of the superhero. This is not a very surgical precision and it is not sure that the method is enough to revive the English patient.
