Around Renaud Dély and Marie Bernardeau, to decipher the news of Wednesday November 3, Eve Roger, deputy editor of the Parisian / Today in France, and Bruno Dive, newspaper columnist South West.

The themes :

– At the Congress of Republicans, can Michel Barnier create a surprise? One month from the deadline, December 4, Michel Barnier claims pole position, 702 signatures including 460 mayors. Rumor has it that he is well placed for the vote on December 4… Faced with Xavier Bertrand and Valérie Pécresse, can he really create a surprise?

– Trial of the Elysee polls: are the judges going too far? Summoned on Tuesday as a witness at the so-called Elysee polls trial, the former head of state went to the bar of the tribunal, the 32nd chamber of the Paris Criminal Court, without answering the tribunal’s questions on behalf of his presidential immunity. Several of his former advisers (Claude Guéant, Patrick Buisson, Emmanuelle Mignon, etc …) are prosecuted for concealment, favoritism and embezzlement of public funds by negligence for massive orders of surveys without respect for the rules of competition and sometimes unrelated to the political action of the executive (pregnancy of Rachida Dati, marriage with Carla Bruni…). He assured that he could not explain the organization of the cabinet of the President of the Republic by virtue of his constitutional obligations. Nicolas sarkozy “do not refuse to testify” but ensures that he does not have the right. Should we therefore review the criminal statute of the Head of State?
