Unsurprisingly, the legislative elections and their express campaign become the most publicized event of the decade, even more than the presidential elections of 2017 and 2022.

Nothing is automatic, a measure is not canceled as soon as there is a change of government, the new Prime Minister will have to have it canceled. To get an idea of ​​what can happen, you have to examine the programs.

Five people died in Kenya, on the sidelines of demonstrations repressed by the police. This Tuesday, demonstrators entered the Parliament grounds in Nairobi and a human rights NGO in Kenya said it saw the police firing live ammunition into the crowd. The “Occupy Parliament” movement is protesting against a new tax policy intended to help reduce the country’s debt. Kenyan President William Ruto has vowed to crack down on “violence and lawlessness”.

While the Paris 2024 Games begin in a month to the day, the Les Shifters association points out the false promises of the organizing committee on the carbon footprint of the event. The Games must emit half as many greenhouse gases as those in London in 2012, without taking into account the international travel of visitors. To reduce the carbon footprint, the Shifters propose installing fan zones all over the world.
