Scotland Yards seeks new leader, mayor of Brussels against freedoms convoy

In Brussels (Belgium), as in Paris, freedom convoys are not welcome. “With us, the mayor of Brussels does not want to relive the scenario of paralysis as it did many years ago”, said a journalist on the set of La Une. It was September 2000, the city center of Brussels was paralyzed, roads and refineries were blocked. At the time, truckers demanded a less expensive professional diesel. “The message is very clear, they can come and demonstrate, but not with their vehicles and not with the trucks”says Philippe Close, the mayor of Brussels.

In Great Britain, Scotland Yards is looking for a new boss. The first woman to head the Metropolitan Police leaves her post in the midst of an investigation into 10 Downing Street during confinement. She has just lost the confidence of the mayor of London after the release of a report on cases of racism and sexism within the police. “The mayor left me no choice but to step down. I say this with great sadness and deep regret”she testified.

Swiss energy companies are betting on photovoltaics in Europe. A solar park installed in Toulouse by a Swiss company which operates it produces electricity for 4,000 households. The Swiss no longer want these large structures in their country. To bring back the energy companies, the government could imagine new subsidies.
