Monday: The mirage of inclusion
After the nursing homes and crèches of shame, the scandal of the care of the disabled. Educational deficiencies, understaffing, staff without the slightest training, negligence and violence… The testimonies broadcast on Sunday by Restricted zone on M6 send shivers down your spine. Coincidence of the calendar (or not), the delegate minister responsible for the disabled, Fadila Khattabi, at the same time triggers a “plan to combat violence and neglect within medical-social establishments”decreeing the “zero tolerance for abuse”. However, the situation is nothing new. As with nursing homes, families and professionals have been warning for years. And less than a year ago, France, self-proclaimed champion of inclusion, was even singled out by the Council of Europe for “lack of support for disability”. The institution had been approached by four associations five years earlier. What a waste of time!
Tuesday: Attal alone on stage
As comfortable perched on a haystack among farmers as going door to door in upscale neighborhoods, our Prime Minister has a sense of spectacle. Next Wednesday, Gabriel Attal will try his hand at a one-man show. No more parade of ministers in the hubbub of the Hemicycle, the weekly session of questions to the government in the Assembly will change format. Alone facing the deputies, the Prime Minister will hold the spittoon for 45 minutes. This development, which will be tested for five weeks, was requested by the President of the Assembly Yaël Braun-Pivet, then validated by the group leaders. Cult of personality or desire, for the head of government, to defend his policies more effectively? The measure, inspired by the English example of the House of Commons, is causing debate. “Very vertical vision” for the Modem, “Attal Show” in the eyes of ecologists: before the first performance, some spectators already have an opinion.
Wednesday: The new wine list
Tasting a delicate white from the Côteaux de Saint-Malo or a fruity red from the Pointe du Raz appellation will soon be possible if we are to believe the study published by researchers from the Research Institute for Agriculture and the environment. According to them, Brittany, but also Sweden, Poland and Canada have everything to become major wine-growing regions due to global warming. Conversely, certain Mediterranean terroirs might be erased from the world wine map by the end of the century. Already affected by rising temperatures and water stress, the vineyards of Provence will not be able to play the irrigation card for very long. Beyond the observation, the study outlines possible solutions. More resistant grape varieties, planting methods and density: it is still possible to act, but time is running out to save our Bandol, Côtes de Provence and Bellet.
Thursday: hide these homeless people…
The exodus linked to the Olympic Games does not only concern Parisians who plan to flee an unlivable capital or rent their apartment at a high price this summer. It also targets those who survive as best they can in the streets, the corridors of the metro or the camps that line the ring road. The mayor (various right) of Orléans thus accuses the State of organizing for several months the exfiltration of those whose presence might spoil the magic of the Games. “He’s getting rid of his poor and his migrants.”, plague Serge Grouard. In Orléans, but also Strasbourg, Bordeaux, Toulouse and seven other cities in France, “regional airlocks” have actually been put in place since last May, officially to relieve Île-de-France with saturated accommodation capacities. Evacuations “without any connection with the Olympic Games”Housing Minister Guillaume Kasbarian weakly defends himself, confirming that “3,800 people” were discreetly asked to go see if poverty is less painful in the provinces.
Friday: return of faith
Is the Catholic Church raising its head following years of disaffection and scandals? This Saturday, 12,160 adults and adolescents will be baptized during the Easter vigil. This is a third more than last year. An increase that even reaches 200% in the Jura! For the Conference of Bishops of France, this development reflects a “basic trend”, the number of baptized adults having more than doubled in ten years. This surge, which does not compensate for the fall in child baptisms, halved in a quarter of a century, gives the Church a real reason to hope. It’s up to her to meet the expectations of these neophytes in search of meaning and spirituality.
Saturday: my teenager smells like goat
The teenager is not a human like the others. If the father that I am sometimes notices this, German researchers wanted to find out more by focusing on the odors given off by our strange bipeds in sneakers and hooded sweatshirts. The result of this scientific study does not disappoint. After analyzing pieces of cotton placed under the armpits (yes, yes…) of 18 volunteers, Teutonic academics delivered their conclusions: our teenagers smell “strong cheese, musty and goat’s cheese”. By opening their nostrils a little wider, the researchers also detected fragrances “musk, sandalwood, sweat and urine”. Yum… The frequency of showering for our older children has nothing to do with it. This sweet teenage scent is simply linked to puberty. We knew regarding this thankless period. We learn that it is also fragrant.
