On the front page of the press on Tuesday, the decision of the President of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sanchez, to organize early legislative elections on July 23.

El Pais presents this decision as "the consequence" of the "socialist rout" in Sunday's local elections. A decision justified by Pedro Sanchez by his desire to "give the floor to the Spaniards", so that they clearly indicate which direction they want for the country. The principle of early legislative elections is also validated by the boss of the right, who believes that the PP has taken a "first step", but that "Sanchism" is not yet completely "defeated".

The holding of these early legislative elections seems to satisfy almost everyone, and El Pais wants to believe that "all is not lost for the left". The newspaper acknowledges that "the political cycle seems unfavorable" to the PSOE, but that if the socialists "resist" and that Sumar, the new formation of Yolanda Diaz, the popular communist labor minister, manages to "bring together all the forces" of the left, then "anything can happen". According to El Mundo, Pedro Sanchez would seek more to "stop the internal rebellion" within the left than to cut the ground under the foot of the right - a strategy deemed "risky" or even "suicidal" by some of his comrades in the PSOE, who would already accuse him of dragging them into his downfall. The warning of the socialist "barons" is also mentioned on the front page of the newspaper ABC, which ensures that the cadres of the PSOE do not believe in a "remontada" on July 23.

Also on the front page was yesterday's clashes in northern Kosovo between Serb demonstrators and members of the Kosovo police and NATO's intervention force, KFOR. This violence, which left about thirty wounded within KFOR, and more than 50 wounded Serbs, according to Belgrade, make the front page of Blic. The Serbian daily maintains that KFOR soldiers dispersed the crowd "by force", and that Kosovo police "fired" at Serb demonstrators. The latter are demanding the withdrawal from northern Kosovo, where the Serbs are in the majority, Albanian mayors who have just taken office there. The newspaper quotes the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, who denies implicating KFOR and claims to have only in his sights the Kosovar security forces and the Albanian "false mayors". Beyond what is happening in Kosovo, Aleksandar Vucic, in power since 2012, is currently targeted in Serbia by a protest movement "unprecedented" since the fall of dictator Slobodan Milosevic in 2000. According to Libération, this protest has been further "reinforced" in recent weeks by two mass killings that left 18 dead earlier this month. The newspaper reports that "tens of thousands of people demonstrate every week. at the call of a protest movement that establishes a link between the regime of the national-populist president and the deadly violence" affecting the country.

Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic spoke yesterday after his first-round victory over American Aleksandar Kovacevic over violence in northern Kosovo. L'Equipe reports that the world No. 3 stopped after the match to write a message on the camera traditionally dedicated to the signing of players, where he wrote: "Kosovo is the heart of Serbia! Stop the violence." A phrase that the sports daily indicates that it "is not trivial", recalling that it comes not only at a time of increased violence, but also in a context where Serbia has been contesting, for 15 years, the self-proclaimed independence of Kosovo, whose population is mainly Albanian, but also has about 120,000 Serbs. For Le Parisien/Aujourd'hui en France, the statement of the player, whose father was born in Kosovo, "detonates all the more" that the ethical charter of Roland-Garros theoretically prohibits participants from publicly displaying political or religious opinions - which leads the newspaper to wonder if a "sanction" will be taken against Novak Djokovic, whose anti-vaccine positions against Covid-19 had also annoyed quite a bit.

We do not leave each other on that. Before I tell you tomorrow, I wanted to suggest you take a look at the Guardian, which returns to the mystery of the neon green water of the Grand Canal of Venice. According to local authorities, this is not a PR stunt by environmentalists, but fluorescein, a non-toxic substance generally used for testing wastewater systems. It was worth getting up early to find out, wasn't it? Everyone knows that the future belongs to those who get up early. However, should laurel wreaths be braided to those who get up before the rooster crows? Slate's question, which explains that linking waking up early to being more conscientious, brave and strong-willed than others is a bit binary and cartoonish. A 2014 study, for example, showed that "morning people are (simply) more ethical in the morning, while those in the evening are more ethical in the evening". In other words, everyone has their own rhythm. Those who wish can go back to bed.
