On the front page of the press, the defeat of the Blues last night against Switzerland, 4 to 5, on penalties, after extra time.
The reigning world champions are eliminated from the Euro in the round of 16.
The Blues eliminated, "wiped out":
The Team
evokes "a fantastic match, a huge failure, a huge disappointment" and the Blues "punished by their inadequacies, the trial and error of their management and the loss of solidity and spirit who had accompanied them, three years ago, during the World Cup.
"Disillusionment":
Le Parisien / Today in France
is not very attractive either for the national team, "these Blues (who) did not deserve to go further".
The newspaper expresses its "immense disappointment [...] at the height of the inoculated dreams and the promises of happiness that (the French had) all the more embraced (that they come out) of confined months, inhabited by a mad desire to Communion".
France eliminated from the Euro: "The slap", title
Midi Libre
, with the photo of Kylian Mbappé in tears, after his missed shot on goal.
The French cry, the Swiss exult, and
Le Temps
does not shy away from its pleasure: "You have to write it to believe it: (the Nati) won their first knockout meeting since 1954 and they did it against the champions. of the reigning world, at the end of what was perhaps the most memorable match in its history ”.
After the regional slap, Emmanuel Macron reacts to the defeat of the majority.
In an interview with
Elle
magazine
, the president insists that "local elections do not call for national consequences, and therefore no change of Prime Minister".
Asked about the historical level of abstention in these elections, Emmanuel Macron affirms that "the first explanation is the Covid-19", that "these elections came at a time when it was not the rhythm of the country (and) that people didn't have their minds at all about that ”.
And Emmanuel Macron, what does he have in mind?
The head of state looks rather thoughtful on the front page of
Liberation
, which he shares with Xavier Bertrand, the former minister of Nicolas Sarkozy, reelected hands down, Sunday, in Hauts-de-France, and just as thoughtful.
According to
Libé
, Xavier Bertrand now intends to "establish himself as a presidential candidate and win back the LR electorate seduced by Emmanuel Macron".
"A right for two": "is the trap (set for Republicans by the president) turning" against him? Asks the newspaper.
The presidential election of 2022 is already in everyone's mind, at the risk of obscuring everything else, worries
L'Humanité
, who fears that this obsession will lead the political class to ignore many debates and subjects that annoying, starting, precisely, with the lessons to be drawn from the regional abstention.
"On the side (of the majority), everything has been tried to span" the ballot, regrets the newspaper, "but the springs of the democratic fracture are the same as those which led to the defeat of the majority", asserts
L ' Huma
, accusing the contenders for the Élysée Palace, "to be agitated not to reduce (this) democratic divide but to put (the National Rally) back as quickly as possible at the center of the game, in order to claim the title of best rampart ”against the extreme right. “But the French, warns the newspaper, can no longer use this default policy. The space exists for a real confrontation of social projects. As long as the debate rises above the caricature and agitation of fears ”.
It is a text which provoked, in this case, a lot of debate, in France. After two years of discussions, the bioethics law will be definitively adopted today in the Assembly.
La Croix
recalls that one of the most debated provisions of this text, access to medically assisted procreation, assisted reproduction, to single or homosexual women, was initially a campaign commitment by Emmanuel Macron in 2017. A promise held, four years later, with this bioethics law, which will not, however, include post-mortem assisted reproduction, assisted reproduction for transgender men or even medical termination of pregnancy due to “psychosocial distress”. "So many barriers that have held", greets the newspaper, judging it necessary to "resist the progression of techniques" which, according to him, "transform procreation into a fabrication".
Good news for the birds, in conclusion.
The Obs
reports that the Council of State definitively banned, yesterday, the hunting of the glue.
This so-called "traditional" hunting method, still practiced in 5 departments of south-eastern France, consists of trapping birds, especially thrushes and blackbirds, on sticks coated with glue, called glues.
The piafs thus captured are then put in cages and are used, by singing, to capture others.
The slayers of this method have put forward the fact that despite their cleaning, the birds thus captured suffer irreparable damage.
