The letter from Figaro of May 20, 2022

The threat of a food crisis in the face of rising wheat prices, this France of the villages which votes for Le Pen and these employees of Chernobyl who did not allow themselves to be told by the Russian occupiers.


Dear readers,

When two of the largest wheat exporters in the world go to war, it inevitably has a significant impact on the price of one of the cereals that matter most in the world.

The ton of wheat went from 253 euros in January to 438 euros this week, to give you an idea.

If you add to that a capricious weather, with too high temperatures, you have the perfect recipe for an uncontrolled rise in prices.

Which is not reassuring when you know that our beloved wheat is so for a good reason: it is the basis of the diet of billions of human beings.

We are conducting the investigation this Friday, through this France of villages which, in 2022, turned to Marine Le Pen.

And we tell you what happened in Chernobyl when the Russian army put down its suitcases there.

Have a very good day, dear subscribers, and a very good weekend too!
