Possibility of requisitions in industry in the face of the war in Ukraine, secularism in education… Those informed on the morning of Wednesday March 27, 2024

The themes :

The principal of a high school in the 20th arrondissement of Paris left his position after being threatened with death for asking a student to remove her veil at the end of February. The Minister of Education Nicole Belloubet went to the Ravel high school at the beginning of March to support the principal, and deplored the “unacceptable attacks”. The student filed a complaint on March 1 for “violence not resulting in incapacity for work”. The Paris prosecutor’s office specifies that “the principal had reminded three students of their obligation to remove their veils within the school grounds” and one refused, the one provoked the altercation. A 26-year-old young man was arrested and must be tried on April 23 for having threatened to kill the principal on the internet. How can we better protect teaching staff? How to better control platforms?

Sébastien Lecornu, Minister of the Armed Forces, announced on Tuesday that it was not impossible that the State imposes requisitions or to require manufacturers to give priority to military needs over civilian needs, to accelerate military production in order to support Ukraine. Why such a tone? What is France’s strategy in this “war economy“? These requisitions, authorized by the Military Programming Law adopted in the fall, can range from “personnel, stocks or production tools” to dedicate them to the production of military equipment, according to the Minister of the Armed Forces, considering that it was “the hardest tool in our legal arsenal”.
