It’s tonight and the stakes are high for Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen. ” The big explanation ” title Le Parisien/Today in France“ the big showdown ” for Le Figaro. Appointment is given at 9 p.m. and it will be “ double or quits for the far-right candidate according to Opinionwhich speaks of talk about his life five years after the fiasco of 2017 » evoked by the newspaper The world.
What tactic for that? ” The National Rally candidate spent five years trying to make people forget this disastrous televised duel, by mocking her image, her party and some of her ideological markers. She will therefore try to display solemnity and credibility, in line with her press conferences and her defense of a project that she claims to be “realistic and applicable”. But, at the same time, the candidate intends to activate an anti-Macron front by returning social and democratic violence to the side of the adversary. “, can we read.
Because ” to feed anti-macronism, the figurehead of the RN wants to target the balance sheet of the outgoing “, is it explained in the columns of the echoes.
Purchasing power at the center of the debate
But there is another subject on which they are expected, a big absentee from the campaign. ” Ecology – this time we talk about it ? » asks in One Releasewhich reminds us that not only does the subject occupy a negligible place in the two programs but that in addition ” RN candidate links climate denial with attacks on the rule of law “. Faced with this observation, the newspaper is interested in environmental associations that want to establish a ” citizen counter-power and intend to weigh in the public debate before the legislative elections.
On this very subject, Release offers a ” debate bingo “, with the sentences which are likely to return this evening among which “ Madame Le Pen, you are climatosceptic ” or ” maybe your friends at McKinsey don’t like it “. What a yellow laugh so tonight by following the debate, a debate that is happening anyway “ is not won on the merits (…) It is above all a question of image : competence, authority, composure, consistency. Whoever manages to synthesize these elements will be in a good position “, analyzes Jean Garrigues, president of the Parliamentary History Committee, in Le Parisien/Today in France.
Not sure, however, that this will be enough to convince the French who do not yet know to whom they will give their vote. This is particularly the case in the working-class suburbs which mostly voted for Jean-Luc Mélenchon in the first round and which disagree with Emmanuel Macron, explains The worldwhile Le Figaro highlights the risk of a record abstention as I quote, ” to anti-lepenism was added an anti-macronism “.
Deliveroo sentenced to 375 000 euros fine for concealed work
This judgment is historical ” and Humanity devotes a double page to it. ” A victory for the world of work », according to Pascal Savoldelli, coordinator of the work entitled « Uberization, and after ? “.
After ? Well ” we can carry on as if nothing had happened. Sit on the terraces, watch the delivery men parade. Listen to the stories of VTC drivers exhausted by the pace imposed to barely earn a minimum wage and give them a tip to get rid of the guilt “, taunts a journalist from Release which reminds us that wherever they have been condemned, companies like these have simply readjusted their model. As a reminder, Deliveroo has appealed this conviction.
Russian offensive on the Donbass
A special envoy from World met men and women who stayed put, like in Yatskivka, without water or electricity. They are essentially elderly people without means. ” Can Ukraine resist ? “, interrogates Le Parisien/Today in Francebelow we can read this sentence from a researcher: the state of the Ukrainian forces is the big black box but their defenses urgently need to be reinforced “. ” The Russians will essentially be able to advance only in the main axes of the valleys and less on the flanks, while the Ukrainians have the capacity to hold a multitude of positions “, and ” who holds the highs holds the lows », Analyzes this other specialist in the columns of Release.
