Dear readers,
Clashes under the windows of the White House , a curfew decreed in several cities of the country ... Unheard of since 1968 with the death of Martin Luther King. While Donald Trump claims law and order, several police officers, kneeling on the ground, paid tribute to George Floyd, a black man killed during a police arrest in Minneapolis. However, anger does not drop, even crossing borders. In France, demonstrations also took place, demanding "justice for Adama Traore", who died in 2016 during his arrest by the gendarmes. While the family is contesting several expert opinions, should we draw a parallel with the George Floyd case in the United States?We are debating it. As part of America plunges back into its old demons, another looks to the stars. SpaceX has managed to send two astronauts into space. A first for a private company whose objective is: Mars.
A wind of freedom blew this week over France. The bars, cafes and restaurants, including the terraces, have reopened and are benefiting from customer feedback. A breath of fresh air for restaurateurs who fear a difficult restart of their activities in the face of sanitary standards. So are we going to a price hike after months of lost sales? As politics resumes its rights, could the health and economic crisis benefit the sovereignists of the left as of the right? In his analysis, Eric Zemmour evokes the thorny and problematic question of national identity, obstacle for the gathering of those that the former minister Jean-Pierre Chevènement called "the republicans of the two banks". Before leaving and as the summer holidays approach, meet Philippe Gloaguen, founder and president of the Guide du Routard created in 1973, which has since become an indispensable traveling companion for holidaymakers.
Good end of weekend.
Adrien BAGET, journalist at Figaro Live.
