Eric Lombard, an article in finesse …
Maurice Trap, La Maxe (Moselle)
The investigation dedicated to Eric Lombard allows us to discover our Minister of Finance, a man like France still has. A man who for the public comes out of nowhere, rubs shoulders with the extraordinary and, I hope, will make us enjoy his skills. A lace article that is offered to us by Laureline Dupont and Emilie Lanez. A description with finesse and discovery as I like them, and I am probably not the only one. Thank you to the Dentellières for giving us this article, and long life to the one who has, for the moment, the burden of restoring a little air to France!

… But to be completed?
Frédéric Bergero, Bordeaux (Gironde)
Your article on the rich socialist of Bercy forgets to talk about his social policy when he was at the head of the Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations, and in particular the abolition of advantages whose staff have benefited for eighty years. In a future article maybe? (Eric Lombard, the secrets of an itineraryL’Express of February 6.)
Thomson yesterday, Mistral tomorrow?
Bertrand Caladois, Limas (Rhône)
Will we be able to make a place in artificial intelligence? In 1985, Laurent Fabius had launched an ambitious computer plan for all that could have made our country pioneer in this area. The classes were equipped with Thomson French equipment, but our national company was exceeded by PCs and Macs; end of the French exception. Will he happen to the same thing to our “nugget” Mistral who seems the only one to be able to distinguish himself in the AI world? It is unfortunately very possible if Europeans do not understand the interest. (Behind the Deepseek earthquake, the flight of China in the chipsL’Express of February 13.)
The strange relationship of the French to the company
Hervé Moulinier, Locmaria Plouzané (Finistère)
First of all, I want to thank Julia de Funès for her chronicles about the business world, of exceptional acuity. However, I would like to react to its relevant article dedicated to cultural biases of the “French Society” with regard to its relationship to money and the company. It seems to me to present two dead angles. The first is that the captains of industry who complain today of an excess of regulation and samples – for real that it is – were not heard between 2017 and 2023, when they have Benfects from significant reductions that have resulted in the increase in their profits. Coming to complain now is unbearable for our fellow citizens who feel that the relationship between the richest and the poorest deteriorates. The second is, in my opinion, the glorification of triumphant America of the Elon Musk and others seems to be very relativized. When the power of some oligarchs takes precedence over political power, is it really an example to follow? The French have a lot of faults, including that of being an experienced old people … (Money, success, big bosses: this very French bitternessby Julia de Funès, L’Express of February 13.)
Beware of avian flu!
René Hurstel, Rossfeld (Bas-Rhin)
The Spanish flu provoked in 1918 and 1919 more dead than the First World War. Today, the so -called H5N1 virus from chicken is very virulent. In early January, he caused a first death in the United States in early January in a man contaminated by a wild bird. We believe that contamination is not possible between humans, but more increases the number of people contaminated by animals, the greater the probability that the scourge affects very numerous seized people. The risk therefore exists to see the mutier virus and become transmissible between humans. (The world is preparing for a pandemicL’Express of January 16.)
