Iranian attack on Israel, assessment of Michel Barnier’s general policy speech… The morning news of Wednesday October 2

The themes:

Iran, sponsor of Hezbollah attacked Israel this Tuesday evening by sending around 180 missiles, after a week of Israeli bombings targeting targets attributed to Hezbollah and the elimination of numerous leaders of the Lebanese Shiite militia, starting with its leader Hassan Nasrallah. How to analyze this response, its magnitude? Is this Iranian attack itself the prelude to a direct offensive by Israel towards Iran?

THE general policy speech of the Prime Minister lasted one hour and 20 minutes this Tuesday. General commitments: straightening out public finances, controlling immigration, promoting an “ecology of solutions”, but few concrete announcementseven on the tax effort to cover France’s “colossal debt”. On social issues, what improvements in the pension reform? What about unemployment insurance reform?
