(FRANCEINFO)
Like every evening, the 11 p.m. news news takes a look at the news broadcast by European television channels. It’s Eurozapping on Wednesday March 20.
The Irish Prime Minister announced his resignation on Wednesday March 20. Leo Varadkar, symbol of modernization in this conservative country, has decided to throw in the towel. “The reasons for resigning are both personal and political”, did he declare. He is expected to be replaced by a member of his center-right coalition.
Conditional release for footballer Dani Alves
In Germany, 25,000 Bosch employees demonstrated across the country. They contest the elimination of 7,000 jobs, half of which are in Germany. The company justifies these measures by the conversion to electric in the automotive sector and an unfavorable economic situation. In 2023, Bosch made more than 4.5 billion euros in profits.
In Spain, a wind of freedom for Dani Alves. The Brazilian footballer has been incarcerated in Spain since January 2023 for rape. The court sentenced him to four and a half years in prison. Today, she grants him conditional release with a bail of one million euros. A shock for feminist associations.
