Wooden cross, iron cross, this time, he is convinced of it, the American president… Joe Biden, yesterday, indeed said to himself “ convinced “that his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin had” made the decision to invade Ukraine!
Info or intox ? In any case, as underlined in chorus Le Figaro and The Parisianin Ukraine, “ the tension is at its height “. So ? So widening its focal plane, Le Figaro warns that this Russian threat brandished by America, plus the worsening of the situation in the Sahel, ” risk increasing the pressure again at Europe’s external borders “. Thus, according to this newspaper, up to 5 million Ukrainians could seek refuge in the EU, where they benefit from a visa waiver for short stays”.
Humanitarian mobilization in Poland
Potentially on the front line in the event of the outbreak of hostilities, Poland could see the arrival on its soil of no less than a million Ukrainian refugees. As still reminded Le Figarodespite some painful historical episodes », Poland shares « linguistic and cultural proximity with Ukraine and Belarus. Part of the western provinces of these two countries belonged to Poland until the beginning of the Second World War. The Polish State ardently defends sovereignty and democracy among its two eastern neighbors, in addition to welcoming their nationals “.
Another reminder, however, four years ago, during the migration crisis of Syrian origin, Poland had “ categorically refused to accept the quota of refugees established by the European Commission “. But with the potential massive influx of Ukrainian refugees, everything has changed. And Le Figaro points out the example of this Polish village where last week, local elected officials were asked to “ draw up within 48 hours lists of accommodation for refugees and the number of people that it would be possible to accommodate, as well as the resulting costs and the time required to adapt the buildings “.
Migration shock in perspective on Europe sieve
And so, the ghost of a new migration crisis frightening Europe would be back. This ” human, economic and political shock repeats itself as a “ endless day », sighs Le Figaro. ” In the wake of the Afghan crisis and migratory manipulations from Belarus, the chaos that threatens the Sahel and the drums of war resounding in the East put Europe at the mercy of a new mass exodus “, warns this newspaper. Which laments that “ Europe remains a sieve that only expels one out of five rejected asylum seekers. This failure is a sign of its inability to protect its citizens and assert its sovereignty. », still regrets Le Figaro.
The Palladium Bus at the terminus
Night trip to Pigalle to conclude. Ultimate outing even since, for the last time, you invite us to the Palladium Bus… which will soon close its doors, definitively. It was on a social network that the news was announced yesterday by its driver. And it is in a nostalgic tone, necessarily nostalgic, that the aptly named newspaper The Parisian revisits the glitzy past of this nightclub, true ” monument of Parisian nightlife, while wondering whether or not this definitive return to the Bus Palladium garage was caused by the health crisis.
In the past, however, as Serge Gainsbourg sang, rue Fontaine – where, not for very long, therefore, this club still perches – there was a crowd for the little guys from Liverpool.
The Beatles at the Bus Palladium?… Check it out. Mick Jagger, for sure he had a party there! The Rolling Stones singer y “ celebrated a birthday “, remember The Parisianthe Catalan painter Salvador Dali even organized a memorable bamboche there, a banquet “ in flat water with his surrealist friends (…) Johnny Hallyday ignited the scene. The Telephone group recorded their first 45 rpm here in 1977. “. They and many others, Julien Clerc, Alain Bashung, Étienne Daho, Noir Désir, Indochine spent there “ sleepless nights “.
