The fate of Prigojine in suspense, the battle around Casino agitates the Tout-Paris of business and Arnaud Lagardère explains why he appointed Geoffroy Lejeune to the JDD.

Dear readers,

After the chills, it's time for lessons. Wagner's troops halted their route to Moscow on Saturday; one now wonders what path their leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin, will make. Still untraceable, he broadcast a message on Telegram to defend himself from any coup attempt. But it seems unlikely that his maneuvers will remain without consequences.

In the business world, there is interest in another battle, far from the Dnieper: that of the takeover of Casino. The debt-riddled group whets the appetites of big names in finance and distribution. We will tell you all this in detail.

You can then read in our columns an interview with the Minister of the Armed Forces, Sébastien Lecornu, who tells us about the war of tomorrow, then an interview with Arnaud Lagardère, who explains why he appointed Geoffroy Lejeune to the JDD.

Happy reading, and have a good day!
