11:27 p.m. : After Bruno Le Maire and Samia Ghali this evening on France 2, will Eric Zemmour soon be debating with Marine Le Pen? According to information from franceinfo, the candidate of the National Rally accepted the principle of a debate with that of “Reconquest”. This exchange (a priori muscular) could take place in early February.
11:27 p.m. : The exchanges between Samia Ghali and Eric Zemmour focused on immigration, a subject very much discussed since the start of the presidential sequence.

11:20 p.m. : One example among others: yesterday, the former Secretary of State Georges Tron was definitively convicted of rape and sexual assault, after the rejection of his cassation appeal. For example, some high profile cases do not come to court, because the facts are prescribed. The Olivier Duhamel case, for example, has revived the debate on the statute of limitations for incest, because victims need time to talk about these intimate facts.

(…) So let’s fight them, but stop despising them. “
22h54 : The debate was to end, but Bruno Le Maire relaunches by criticizing the statements of Eric Zemmour on Pétain who would have defended the French Jews. “I am not a Pétainist, do not make me the defender of a regime which has hurt my family”, replies the candidate.

He gives him a “negotiation mandate”. The Council takes negotiating directives. The Commission then negotiates with the partner country on behalf of the EU, in close cooperation with the Council and the European Parliament.
The Commission submits the draft agreement to the Council for adoption. After discussion, the Council adopts a decision on signing the agreement on behalf of the EU. It transmits the signed agreement to Parliament for approval. When Parliament gives its consent, the Council adopts the decision.
