“Hi it’s Leo, what does it say?”
This Thursday, February 1, the Secretary General of Rural Coordination calls on BFMTV for farmers to converge “in front of the National Assembly to meet the deputies”. The agricultural union launched this appeal as a convoy of tractors reached the largest agricultural produce market in the world on Wednesday in Rungis, south of the capital.
Teachers are called to strike this Thursday by most union organizations. Their motivation is reinforced by the comments of the new Minister of National Education on absenteeism among the public. The first primary school union expects 40% of strikers in nursery and elementary schools.
And then, Universal Music announced that it was removing its songs from TikTok. The world’s largest record company accuses the social network of not paying “the fair value of music”. Their negotiations failed and therefore, for the moment, Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift and The Weeknd can no longer be used on the platform.
