The Figaro letter of January 13, 2023

The executive facing the prospect of a big social mobilization against pensions, the release of Harry Potter in France 25 years ago and a debate on the war in Ukraine and its consequences on the world.


Dear readers,

The pension reform was presented earlier this week to France.

Since then, the standoff between government and unions has been preparing.

Next Thursday will mark the first stage, with a mobilization announced and followed in many sectors.

But it is not so much the demonstrations that the executive fears, as the strikes that could block the whole country.

The last missive of the week offers you a high-level debate in which Emmanuel Todd and Pascal Bruckner give you their opinions on the war in Ukraine.

Your letter is leaving for the long weekend: you won't receive it on Monday, but it will be back on Tuesday, so you don't miss it too much.

Have a great day and an equally great weekend!
