DIn three weeks, 48 million French people are called to the polls to designate the two finalists for the presidential election. This funny campaign continues: monopolized by the Ukrainian crisis, the president-candidate Macron chose not to invest the ground in spite of the concern of his troops; Valérie Pécresse, positive for Covid, seeks to revive; Marine Le Pen and Jean-Luc Mélenchon continue to rise in the polls; in difficulty, Éric Zemmour returned to his favorite themes – immigration – and spoke of a policy of “remigration”. On the front of the ideas, we note that the totems which we believed indéboulonnables begin very slowly to be discussed, like the retirement at 65 years.

War in Ukraine
Did Vladimir Putin miss his bet? He promised a lightning war, a quick victory: his campaign in Ukraine is bogged down. Surprised by the resistance of the Ukrainian army, Russia is no longer progressing. “Are we in a situation of operational pause, regeneration, replenishment, even defensive installations, or in a phase of operational failure? can we read in the evaluation file of the current conflict drawn up by the French general staff. The international community, for its part, continues to alternate between dialogue, sanctions and reflections while France questions its ability to hold a high-intensity conflict.

France 2 decided to adapt again The Island of 30 coffins, the novel by Maurice Leblanc. Fabrice Dupreuilh questions the relevance of this recent adaptation.

Special Elysee
Once upon a time there was the Hôtel d’Évreux, built in 1722 on market garden land, a games room during the Revolution, coveted by the Empire, a place of republican scandals and political intrigue… This theater of our national destiny. This palace which embodies so much the “republican monarchy” and towards which all eyes turn, those of the French as well as foreign journalists, when the hour is serious, disdaining the ministries and the Hôtel de Matignon. In a special issue, Romain Gubert and his contributors take you on a tour of this palace, the object of all fantasies and, especially in this period, of all desires.
