“Hi, it’s Leo, what does it say?”

This Friday, September 6, what is the use of a Prime Minister? Question asked in this episode as we learned on Thursday of the appointment of Michel Barnier to replace Gabriel Attal. Aged 73, the oldest head of government in the history of the Fifth Republic succeeds the youngest. He already knows he is under threat and will have to find allies in a fragmented National Assembly.

Gisèle Pélicot spoke for the first time before the Vaucluse criminal court. This 71-year-old woman was raped by dozens of men recruited on the internet by her husband, who was accused of drugging her so that she would not notice anything. Her “world collapsed” when police officers showed her the images.

And then the ZEvent returns this weekend with the goal once again of collecting millions of euros in donations for associations. This year, the streaming marathon on Twitch has chosen to “fight against precariousness and poverty” by helping Popular Relief, Cop1-Student Solidarity, Chapter 2, Heart Offices and Peasant Solidarity.
