The themes

Four days after the verdict of the legislative elections, the impossible coalition. There is a blockage at the New Popular Front, which is still promising to propose a Prime Minister and a government by Friday. There is a blockage on the right, which still does not want to hear about La France Insoumise. And there is a blockage among the Macronists and the central bloc, who are tearing each other apart over the scope of this grand coalition. All this after Emmanuel Macron’s letter to the French, which adds fuel to the fire.

Joe Biden, stop or encore? The American president is giving a new press conference on Thursday evening, July 11, to try to dispel doubts about his state of health, while calls to step down are increasing, from George Clooney to elected officials from his camp. Is there still time for Democrats as Trump widens poll lead? Who can replace him at short notice?
