On the front page of the press, the massive arrival, since Monday, of migrants in the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, on the Moroccan coast, which triggers a diplomatic crisis between Madrid and Rabat.
"Morocco is pushing the tension with Spain to the limit", this morning accuses the Spanish daily
El Pais
, which has chosen for its front page the photo of an agent of the Guardia civil holding at arm's length a baby off the coast of El Tarajal beach. According to the newspaper, the army was deployed yesterday in Ceuta to "contain the migratory crisis" and Rabat would have "regained control" of its borders, after having "let pass nearly 8000 people" in the Spanish enclave. "Morocco challenges the EU": the Catalan newspaper
El Periodico
reports European support for Spain, and the promise made to Morocco by Pedro Sanchez, to release 30 million euros, to block migratory flows. The Socialist Prime Minister finds himself, because of this crisis, more than ever in the crosshairs of the right: "the government is incapable of responding to the blackmail of Rabat", criticizes
ABC
, while the daily
La Razon
denounces the attitude of the executive, crushed for having "ignored the warnings of Morocco concerning the Polisario Front", whose leader was received at the end of April in Spain, for medical reasons. The reception of the leader of the Saharawi separatists had then provoked the anger of Morocco, which is opposed to the Polisario Front, and to its struggle for the independence of Western Sahara.
In Morocco,
Hespress
, who sees in the summons of the Moroccan ambassador by Madrid, then her recall by Rabat, the sign of "the seriousness of the malaise" between the two countries, denounces the reception, by Spain, of the leader. separatists from the Polisario Front, accusing the Spanish authorities of "beating Moroccans to death, and of pointing fingers as invaders at those who believe they see in Spain an Eldorado".
Today Morocco
underlines, for its part, that Madrid and Rabat "are condemned to maintain good neighborly relations, failing to always work in perfect harmony and good understanding".
In France, the police are mobilizing today, at the call of the majority of unions, after the death of two of their colleagues on duty. On the occasion of this day,
Liberation
went to meet young recruits - police officers who express their "anger" at the problems they are facing. Libé evokes "salary disparities unworthy of the public sector, a" war "against drugs whose stakes are difficult to understand, a tenuous link with the public and poorly adapted training.
Mediapart
he is indignant at the mobilization of police unions for "the implementation of minimum sentences for law enforcement aggressors" - a principle deemed contrary to the values of the Republic. The information site accuses the politicians who have chosen to rally the police force, and in particular the Minister of the Interior, Gerald Darmanin, of thus throwing “to the nettles” the republican heritage. Gérald Darmanin "exposes himself without risk of taking blows": according to
L'Opinion
, the Minister of the Interior could succeed in "doing a double blow": "Occupy the highly sensitive area of security and cut the grass under the feet of his adversaries, on the right, as on the left ”.
The French press also returns of course largely on the relaxation, from today, of the sanitary rules. Reopening of terraces, museums, cinemas: "Real life" rejoices
Midi Libre
, which already sees the French toasting on the sunny terraces - a little quickly, perhaps. More cautiously,
Le Figaro
evokes "a foretaste of freedom". "After the rain", the newspaper is not entirely sure that the clouds give way to good weather
. The cross
therefore preferred to ask the French what their expectations and fears were for this beginning of deconfinement. The director of a theater, in particular, said to wait impatiently to "find the magic of the three blows, sublime and fragile". Between the capricious weather, worry about the new variants and social crisis,
L'Humanité
speaks of "the hope and (of) doubts of the French", of a "cautious relief".
His confinement has lasted 5 years: Karim Benzema is back in the France team. "Deschamps deconfine Benzema":
The Parisian
confirms that the coach of the Blues, Didier Deschamps, has retained the striker from Madrid, for the Euro which begins on June 11. Always prosecuted for "complicity in attempted blackmail" in a case of "sex tape" dating back to 2015, Karim Benzema returns to the France team, "and we do not know, according to
L'Equipe
, if it is because Didier Deschamps has changed or because Benzema himself has changed ”.
A very mysterious mystery, my faith, presented by the sports daily as "the chef's surprise", as "a way to remind that the France team does not belong to anyone (and) that the goal of a coach is to win, even with players with whom he would not go on vacation to Concarneau ”...
