Some news from France

By Vladan Lausevic | Vlad's politics | 18 Jun 2023


In French history, June 18th marked a momentous day when General de Gaulle delivered a speech in 1940, calling on the French to resist defeatism and continue the fight. The speech emphasized the importance of preserving the flame of the French resistance.

Western France recently experienced a 5.8 magnitude earthquake, the strongest in the country since the early 2000s. Despite some minor injuries and building damage, the situation was handled well overall.

Stade Toulousain emerged victorious in the Top 14 final, defeating Stade Rochelais in a closely contested match. Romain Ntamack's defining try secured the win and the 22nd Bouclier de Brennus for Toulouse. Rugby fans now eagerly await the upcoming international test matches and the 2023 Rugby World Cup.

Marlène Schiappa, the French Minister of Renaissance, faced questioning regarding the Fonds Marianne, a fund she established to combat separatism in France. Criticism was directed towards the committee overseeing the fund, leading to the resignation of Christian Gravel. Schiappa distanced herself from the decision-making processes during the senatorial inquiry.

Sandrine Rousseau, a prominent figure in the French Ecologist movement, faced accusations from a party militant regarding her candidacy. The militant claimed Rousseau used fraudulent means to establish residency in a Paris district. While residency is not legally required to be a candidate, the situation may progress into a court case.
