Cigarette in the beak and worried forehead on the front page of Releasedark gaze on those of the Parisian like Figaro. “ Jean Louis Trintignant, the great silence “, spear Freed, in reference to a western of which he was the star. End of the western. Trintignant? A ” great man of cinema and theater », greets Le Figaro.
Unanimous tribute from the press, in Paris as elsewhere, in France. Plus a tragic reminder, that of the disappearance of his daughter Marie, who died on 1er August 2003 under the blows of the furious Bertrand Cantat, singer of the French rock group Noir Désir. In a book published four years ago, Jean-Louis Trintignant said he was “dead” that day. No. The actor passed away yesterday. He was 91 years old.
No more Russian gas
“ No more one cubic meter of Russian gas arrives by gas pipeline on French territory “, point The Parisian. Officially, it was for technical reasons that the Russian company Gazprom made this cut. But the Europeans who suffer from it, France, therefore, but also Poland, Bulgaria and Finland and, to a lesser extent, Germany, Austria and Italy, see it rather as a “ retaliatory measure in connection with their support for Ukraine.
Admittedly, the Ministry of Ecological Transition “ wants to be reassuring “, notes this daily, but this interruption of delivery of Russian gas by gas pipeline ” will inevitably have repercussions “, he admits. Especially on prices. As pointed out The Parisian“ the rate jumped to almost 130 euros per megawatt hour (yesterday), against around 100 euros on Wednesday. It was around 30 euros a year ago “, indicates this newspaper.
Le Figaro redid the accounts. The price of gas on the European wholesale market has in fact jumped 60% this week “, he calculates, comparing the gas flow to “ a river which first dries up downstream, furthest from its source, where water is becoming scarcer, gas of Russian origin no longer reaches France, Gazprom’s customer the furthest ‘west “. According Le Figaro“ the drying up of the flow arriving in France can also be explained in part because gas is sold at a higher price in Germany than in France. French suppliers receiving Russian gas, such as Engie, therefore have every interest in selling it across the Rhine rather than repatriating it to France. !
Election Arms Vigil
Tomorrow, Sunday, second round of legislative elections. And always the same fear, that of a strong abstention. “ The Republic is you! », Launches the front page of Figaro, to encourage its readers to go to the polls. Last Republican media outburst with, in sight, a flagrant lack of interest in this election, however crucial. Because as this daily remarks, the majority coalition Together!, which brings together macronists and centrists, and Nupes, that is to say the left alliance, “ each bring together around 12.5% of registrants. This means that more than 70% of French people of voting age feel if not hostile, at least foreign to these political families. The fact that they have shared the public debate for eight weeks can only reinforce the desertion. What does a slightly classic voter do when he has to choose between the Mélenchon-Sandrine Rousseau line and that of Borne-Pap Ndiaye? ask this newspaper. He is tempted to prepare his holidays “.
The Parisian hardly write anything else. Taking stock of the electoral sequence of the presidential and legislative elections, this daily notes that questions ” essential “have been there” retracted “. The French have especially remembered punchlines, invectives and populist speechesvalued The Parisian. The country did not have the campaign it deserved. Therefore, should we be surprised that 70% of young people did not want to vote? “, he asks. Tomorrow is another day, who knows?
