The results of the Republicans’ debate and the reparations announced by the Church … Those informed of the morning of November 9

Around Renaud Dély and Marc Fauvelle to comment on the news of Tuesday, November 8, 2021: Sophie de Ravinel, journalist in the political service of Figaro and Sylvain Courage, editor-in-chief of The Obs.

The themes :

– Who won the Republicans’ first debate? Competition of numbers, willingness to be serious, savings, reduce the debt, etc … Few differences between the five candidates, finally. The atmosphere is rather close to concord between candidates who often say that they agree with each other. Spikes are rare as are personal attacks. Everyone stayed in their hallway.

– When the Church sells family jewels, are the repairs announced up to the mark. Is it un historic gesture? After the conclusions of the commission chaired by Jean-Marc Sauvé, the Catholic Church had recognized its collective responsibility with the victims of pedocriminality within it.
A staggering toll estimated at 330,000 victims since 1950. The 120 prelates gathered in Lourdes also agreed on the terms of “individualized victim” compensation. An independent national recognition and reparation body whose role will be to examine the claims of victims of sexual violence will be set up. And the Church says it is ready to sell part of its property to compensate the victims.
