Progressive American newspapers unanimously welcome Joe Biden's speech.
This "
speech could have been filled with bluster,
" writes the
Washington Post
.
Boasting "
about the adoption of the rescue plan, about the fact that every American will be able to get vaccinated by May 1, on the promise that if all goes well it may be possible to reunite with family and between friends on July 4th and celebrate hard-earned freedom.
But the president did not boast.
He also did not hold up the document so that everyone could see his signature under the stimulus plan law, as his predecessor would have done
”.
No, adds the
New York Times
, “
Joe Biden is a president who fundamentally transforms US federal policy.
He is moving forward on a progressive agenda.
But he does it so calmly that it elicits yawns, where a president Bernie Sanders would arouse howls,
”said the columnist.
"
Finally, in the person of Joe Biden, we have
a president who cares about others
",
summarizes the daily
USA
T
oday
before concluding: "
And that is a new beginning for America
".
Haiti: "coup de theater" within the Haitian government?
According to information collected by the Haitian daily
The Nouvelliste
, Prime Minister Joseph Jouthe would have, according to some, presented his letter of resignation, according to others, threatened to resign.
The reason for these “
Mi'kmaqs at the top of the State
”, as our colleague Frantz Duval qualifies them in his
editorial
of the day: “
A case of tinted windows of vehicles.
To fight against insecurity, the Prime Minister ordered their ban without going through a legal provision.
The (
presidential
)
palace and its allies oppose it.
Is the presence of Joseph Jouthe counted at the head of the government?
Is the presidency overestimating its strength if it believes it can replace the prime minister in the blink of an eye?
", Asks
Le Nouvelliste
before concluding:"
The Moïse State lays mines under the feet of its pillars
".
The noose is tightening around opposition leader Keiko Fujimori.
"The Attorney General has requested 30 years and 10 months in prison against the daughter of the former Peruvian dictator Alberto Fujimori
", headlines the daily
El Comercio
today.
Keiko is accused of funding her 2011 election campaign with more than $ 1 million from Brazilian construction giant Odebrecht.
After more than two years of investigation, "
the prosecutor will prosecute the leader of the conservative party and forty-one other people for the alleged offenses of organized crime, money laundering, obstruction of justice and false declarations
", details the newspaper
La Republica
.
So,
"is this the beginning of the end for Keiko Fujimori?"
Asks the Peruvian site
APnoticias
.
At 46, she is in any case again a candidate for the presidential election in April.
