08:06 : Among the expected measures: the revaluation of 4% of retirement pensions and social minima, the unfreezing of the index point for civil servants, the creation of a new inflation check in place of the food check initially promised, the continuation of the tariff shield on energy, the extension of the discount of 18 cents per liter of fuel, but also the abolition of the TV license fee.

08:05 : While the government does not have an absolute majority at the Palais-Bourbon, the deputies must examine, from July 18, the long-awaited text of support for purchasing power, and the amending finance bill.
07:32 : After a rather successful campaign sprint, will Nupes hold the five-year marathon? The representatives of the “rebellious”, socialists, communists and ecologists display their unity in a disrupted parliamentary landscape. But the joint of these various forces in the Assembly is by no means obvious, analyzes our journalist Thibaud Le Meneec in an article.

08:03 : Hello @Caregiver. Think again: the Health portfolio is still occupied by Brigitte Bourguignon. Defeated in the legislative elections like her colleague from the Ecological Transition, Amélie de Montchalin, and the Secretary of State for the Sea, Justine Benin, she will however have to leave her post during the next reshuffle, expected at the end of the week. This will also be the time for the executive to assign the Housing portfolio and that of the Overseas Territories, officially abandoned this weekend by Yaël Braun-Pivet, who is seeking the presidency of the Assembly.
08:02 : Hello. Is this the first time that we no longer have a Minister of Health in France?
06:59 : “Breaking the Deadlock” for The Parisian, “save the quinquennium” for Opinion… The issue of the political week that is opening is making the front page of many daily newspapers this morning.
06:27 : A very political week begins. Elisabeth Borne must meet with the parliamentary groups to try to define the contours of a majority, while the National Assembly will begin its work. In particular, parliamentarians will have to elect the President of the Assembly tomorrow, and formalize the composition of the groups the next day.. On Thursday, the newly elected will join the various permanent committees of the Assembly, including the famous Finance Committee, which will be particularly observed. The world summarizes the major events to come.
06:05 : We start without further delay with the first point on the news of the day:
• Volodymyr Zelensky must speak by videoconference in the middle of the morning before the leaders of the G7 meeting in Germany. The Ukrainian president should take the opportunity to demand more weapons for his country and a further strengthening of Western sanctions against Moscow.
• The fourteen defendants of the trial of the attacks of November 13 present before the special assize court of Paris have a last opportunity to express themselves today. The professional judges will then begin their deliberations and should deliver their verdict on Wednesday evening.
• The week promises to be busy for Elisabeth Borne, who must probe whether a “government agreement” is possible with some opposition members. The Prime Minister must discuss this with the parliamentary groups from today.
• The truck drivers’ unions are calling for the blocking of all industrial zones in France this morning to demand negotiations on wage increases.
