Tomorrow, May 9, the Russians will in turn celebrate the fall of the Nazi regime 77 years ago, with the traditional military parade in Moscow. A show of force by Vladimir Putin that will be widely observed.

– Splits within the PS: many voices are indignant against the agreement reached by the party leadership. The outgoing socialist deputy of the 20th arrondissement of Paris, Lamia El Aaraje says she is the victim of injustice, not being named NUPES candidate in her constituency.
