The Figaro Letter of August 31, 2020

2020-08-31T05:01:14.971Z


In The Letter this morning: five years after the Charlie Hebdo massacre, the first trial opens; Emmanuel Macron travels again to Lebanon; and a dive into the intimacy of Georges Brassens.


It was January 7, 2015. The Kouachi brothers entered the premises of Charlie Hebdo, at 10 rue Nicolas-Appert, in the 11th arrondissement of Paris. On their way, 12 people died, including five designers: Cabu, Charb, Wolinski, Honoré and Tignous. At the time, the country chanted in unison “never again”. Five years later, the report is bitter: France has learned to live with the Islamist threat, no one can cite the list of attacks committed on our soil to the cry of "Allah Akbar" as they have multiplied, and politicians continue to roll up the red carpet for Islamists of all stripes. On Wednesday, the Paris Assize Court is to judge the Charlie Hebdo and Hyper Kosher attacks . Exceptionally, this trial will be filmed.

Have a good Monday, continue writing to abonnes@lefigaro.fr, your letters are (often) delicious!
