A great journalist and conscience of the French left, Jean Daniel founded Le Nouvel Observateur in 1964 together with Claude Perdriel.
"Monument of journalism, explorer in advance who illuminated the path of the left, Jean Daniel is dead. France is losing consciousness, one of those men who make history with the only force of their pen", wrote the French President Emmanuel Macron in a tweet. (HANDLE).
