1:12 p.m. : Important day in the trial of the attacks of 13-November.

“Avoid a war in Europe”. France, Germany and Poland displayed last night their common objective concerning the Russian-Western crisis linked to Ukraine. Emmanuel Macron claims to see “concrete solutions” to resolve the situation.

07:50 : “What we learn the most is how jihadist propaganda works, the fuel for the commitment of these people.”

The provocative attitude of Salah Abdeslam calmed down during the debates. But for Arthur Dénouveaux, survivor of the Bataclan, his word “is misleading”. “So far he’s been talking to say nothinghe believes. It is another form of silence. He says nothing about the facts, nothing about the inner springs of his actions.” I summarize for you the stakes of his interrogations to come here.

07:50 : Even if this does not change the qualification of the facts for which he is prosecuted, understanding the psychological springs of the jihadist would contribute to the manifestation of the truth. According to a psychiatric report dated December 30, 2021, Salah Abdeslam is “a rather ordinary human who has engaged himself in totalitarian dehumanization”. But according to doctors Daniel Zagury and Bernard Ballivet, his “previous personality seems not to have been buried”.

07:50 : Became public enemy number 1 during his four-month run, until his arrest in Belgium on March 18, 2016, Salah Abdeslam remained, for public opinion, one of the faces of terror. His features are unremarkable, but his personality is intriguing. Why didn’t he blow himself up on the evening of November 13? His explanations are eagerly awaited on this point but will he speak?

07:50 : After several false starts due to the health crisis, the trial of the November 13 attacks entered the interrogation phase on the merits of the case several days ago. The most prominent and high-profile defendant, Salah Abdeslam, is due to begin questioning today and tomorrow. Will he enlighten the special assize court on its exact role? I paint his portrait in this article.
