The French football team will face Tunisia, Denmark and a third opponent not yet defined:
Enough to enchant Bixente Lizarazu. The former 1998 world champion tells the newspaper The Team that this is a draw among the least difficult, if we compare with the other favourites. Do not fall on Germany, Senegal or the Netherlands, the big pieces of hat n ° 2, it is already easier “says Bixente Lizarazu again.
For the former left-back of the Blues, ” if we do the job well and we finish first in this group, we should fall on Mexico or Poland in the round of 16, he predicts in L’Équipe. It’s still fun “.
In the war in Ukraine, the worst may be yet to come. This is the shipwreck warning from the French Minister of the Armed Forces:
Still no progress in the ongoing talks to try to establish a ceasefire in Ukraine. And France has a doubt…
In an interview with the newspaper The ParisianFlorence Parly points out that Russia is “ reorganizing and regenerating its military apparatus. We are seeing changes in force, but not yet a clear withdrawal. Vladimir Putin puts forward a so-called willingness to negotiate probably to better relaunch military actions in Ukraine (…) We can’t rule out the worst is yet to come. “, said to this daily the Minister of the Armed Forces.
And when The Parisian asks him if there are French soldiers on Ukrainian soil, the minister replies that France has ” no military deployment in Ukraine “.
No ceasefire in sight for the moment, therefore. Something to deeply concern any self-respecting editorialist, given the possible economic consequences of this war in Ukraine:
Witness that of Figarowho expects the Russian military offensive in Ukraine to trigger a “ domino effect “. Emphasizing that Russia and Ukraine represent a third of the planet’s wheat exports, this newspaper recalls that the surge in wheat prices in 2011 marked ” the beginning of the Arab revolutions. More than ten years later (…) most countries in the southern Mediterranean and sub-Saharan Africa are even more dependent on wheat imported from the shores of the Black Sea. Up to, for example, 70% of the needs for Egypt and 57% for Senegal “.
So ? So Le Figaro sound the alarm. ” The risk of new food riots unfortunately cannot be ruled outwarns this daily. With devastating repercussions that would go beyond the continental framework of these poor, politically fragile states whose grain reserves rarely go beyond the month of June. They would throw millions of people on the roads of exile, in the first place towards the European Union “, he warns” in One “.
Last weekend before the first round of the presidential election in France. The opportunity for these twelve candidates to throw their ultimate strength into the electoral campaign in order to convince the undecided. Which are as numerous as ever! :
Eight days from such a vote, it is indeed unprecedented in France! According to an Ipsos survey for The Parisian32% of voters “ do not yet know which candidate to devote themselves to “. This newspaper deduces that the curves of voting intentions can ” to evolve “and that in any case, “ they leave the poster for the second round uncertain “.
This survey indicates, in fact, that three voters out of ten, who are sure to vote, are still hesitanthighlighted The Parisian. This is especially true for the voters of Valérie Pécresse, Yannick Jadot or Jean-Luc Mélenchon. For them, the “crystallization” — this moment when the choice becomes definitive —, will take place next week, or even on the day of the vote. Never seen ! “, is surprised this newspaper.
