“Hi it’s Sarah, what does it say?”

This Friday, June 21, the decline began in Mayenne, where the Oudon reached a historic level this Thursday. The water rose suddenly, sometimes up to the waist. The town of Craon was particularly affected, with 115 homes flooded and another 300 homes without power this Friday morning. Other floods are expected this Friday, particularly in Indre.

Street artist Obey moderately appreciates the presence of one of his works in the background of two campaign videos by Jordan Bardella. This image, from a tricolor fresco with a Marianne in the center and the French motto “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity”, was created after the attacks of November 2015. “It’s a gesture of support and compassion”explains the artist, who hopes that “When people see the ridiculous contradiction of someone who advocates hatred and division and who tries to associate himself with this image, they will say to themselves that he cannot be taken seriously.”

The Blues will play their second Euro match against the Netherlands this Friday evening. But with or without Kylian Mbappé? The mystery remains. The striker trained this Thursday with a blue, white and red mask which he will not be allowed to wear in any case: distinctive signs are prohibited on the pitch.
