The legislative elections in France, first round tomorrow, and the Macronist candidates and those of the Nupes (the left alliance) announced neck and neck in most constituencies. First round ? Certainly, but for the front page of the newspaper The Parisianthese legislative elections will rather be a “ third round “, after the two rounds of the last presidential election, and this presumed third round will be ” decisive “, insists this daily.
Because ” nothing is played! “, spear The Parisian“ in an election, nothing ever goes as planned. Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s gamble, with the creation of his alliance on the left, has reshuffled the cards “. In this daily, a minister weight “Admits it:” We are lucid, the Nupes can score. We are outgoing, we have a record, it is necessarily more difficult than if we were in the opposition “, he admits in The Parisian. Which newspaper places the Macronie “ against the dynamics of the left » (and by « score “, this minister hears that Nupes can score goals, like in football, when a team opens the scoring).
The Nupes who would prepare to ” score »? What a pity for this conservative daily that is Le Figaro. Which, pensive, wonders. Politics ? ” What is it for ? “, lamenting” this democratic acedia that we find as much in the voters as in the elected officials: my vote is impotent, as are those designated by the suffrages. Since the public good is only an illusion, the private sphere carries with it all the dimensions of existence. », being reminded that acedia corresponds to boredom, disgust, discouragement.
Reason why Le Figaro yearns for a major overhaul to come », that of politics. which requires ” a cultural and moral rearmament, candidates up to the task, but also responsible citizens, whose first duty is to go to the polling station on Sunday », therefore enjoins Le Figaro.
Democratic asthenia
Invitation which of course echoes the prospects of a high abstention predicted by several polls carried out before this first round of legislative elections. What proportion of registered voters will shun the ballot box tomorrow and next Sunday? The press close to the right is not the only one to fear a participation rate once again falling on the occasion of an election that is nevertheless crucial.
Like this newspaper close to the French right that is Le Figarothe daily Release, close to him on the left, also underlines this morning the ” need to reinvigorate democracy” and “to breathe new life into our political life “. Alas, consider Freed“ from this point of view, the presidential election was a missed opportunity, the legislative ones too, since we can speak without caricaturing too much of a non-campaign “, therefore deplores Release.
Zizou, the rumor in crampons
” Zidane at PSG, the impossible dream? “, launches this morning The Team (with a question mark). Not easy, in fact, to see clearly since yesterday, points out the sports daily, ” some Spanish media mentioned in the morning that an agreement was close between the former coach of Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain “.
Immediately, what a hurvari it was! In France, several media have claimed that the arrival of Zinédine Zidane as PSG coach is almost confirmed.
This was the case for radio Europe 1; which evoked at midday a ” agreement in principle (…) for Zinédine Zidane to be the next coach “. This was also the case for this other radio station, RMC, according to which the two parties ” are close to an agreement “.
So ? So the uncertainty remains, which constrains The Team to write that it would be unwise to drastically dismiss the Zidane track “. Suspense… there again.
