The councilor and the deals. We criticize, we criticize, but what if we were instead looking for rational explanations for the discovery of 70 kg of cannabis at the home of the mayor of Avallon (Yonne)? Let’s sweep away the hypotheses. 1. Those close to Jamilah Habsaoui (various left) simply wanted to find a concrete response to the drop in funding from local authorities. By opening deal points, city councilors would have new sources of income. Pragmatic. 2. The family of the mayor of Avallon wanted to anticipate a possible decriminalization of cannabis, as in Germany. She’s not the only one. In Bègles (Gironde), the ecological municipality intends to become “the first experimental territory for the cultivation, sale and supervised consumption of recreational cannabis”. Visionary. 3. Her brothers wanted to give a helping hand to their sister, mayor but also pharmacy technician, to store the cannabis necessary for the manufacture of medicines for therapeutic use. Practical.

A bone in the rabbit. By asking Gabriel Attal last Saturday if the reservation platforms had indeed been consulted before the implementation of the famous “rabbit” tax, the journalists from the regional press did not think they would raise a hare. Oddly enough, they are not jumping for joy at the idea of taking 5th from patients who do not honor an appointment made via their application. The first to fall foul of the Prime Minister, the Doctolib platform categorically refuses to ask patients to provide their bank details. The government therefore stumbles upon a bone. Confusing speed with haste, it might find itself unable to implement this dissuasive sanction intended to free up millions of appointments with the general practitioner.

Who wants to make billions? The “sausage fair” denounced by Emmanuel Macron is far from over. Accused by the President of dramatizing the situation regarding public finances, Bruno Le Maire does not calm things down, quite the contrary. After announcing 10 billion in savings in mid-February, the Minister of the Economy is doubling down. In order to reduce the public deficit to 4.1% of gross domestic product, the government will have to make 20 billion additional savings in 2025. Reform of unemployment insurance, taxes on annuities, reduction in public aid to businesses, tax loopholes , number of civil servants: all ideas are good to take in the game of “Who wants to win billions?” “. To find out who will have to get their hands on the wallet, you will have to wait until the end of the fair.

Slow transition. Two months before the European elections, the figure is striking. According to a survey carried out in ten countries by the CSA Institute for Engie, 43% of inhabitants of the Old Continent do not believe that the objective of carbon neutrality will be met by 2050. And if Europeans consider 89% that we must go further in terms of energy transition, they say they are especially concerned regarding the cost of this transformation and its impact on their purchasing power. Another lesson from this survey: regarding environmental issues, Europeans expect nothing from their future elected officials. Only 24% (22% in France) consider the energy transition as a priority argument in choosing the list for which they will vote on June 9. It must be said that on the subject, the European candidates are being particularly discreet for the moment.
Friday
The boss. “She is the strongest…” Omnipresent in the media, Rachida Dati arouses as much fear as admiration in the ranks of the government. Directly linked to Emmanuel Macron, close to his wife Brigitte, the surprise guest of the reshuffle does not refrain from anything, not even challenging Gabriel Attal. “I’m going to turn your dog into a kebab!” » With her little slip (in a humorous tone, she assures) to the tenant of Matignon who wanted to cut his budget by 200 million, Rachida Dati further strengthened her image as a free electron. “Nothing will stop him”, headlines Paris Match. The weekly devotes its front page to the Minister of Culture, evoking “an art of transgression which makes her the favorite for the conquest of the capital”. Here once more, his strategy and his nerve impress even his detractors. “She understood everything. His idea of organizing dog aperitifs and concierge meetings is just brilliant, says a minister’s colleague. She’s the boss! »
SATURDAY
Men of the 2020s. Having just settled into his new property in Var where he intends to enjoy a peaceful retirement following a final 63-date tour, Michel Sardou still attracts the wrath of feminist activists. Latest scandal to date: the 77-year-old singer will receive the decoration of Grand Officer of the National Order of Merit from Emmanuel Macron in June. “After praising Depardieu, he now wants to honor Sardou. For his career or his hatred of feminism? », asks the feminist collective Les Rosies while the environmentalist MP Sandrine Rousseau chokes up. “The patriarchy will fall, it is already faltering, but they will all decorate each other first! » Sardou guilty, Macron complicit: bad times for the men of the 2020s.
