Did you miss the news this morning? We’ve put together a summary to help you see things more clearly.
By taking off on Wednesday aboard a private jet towards Canberra, the Australian capital, Julian Assange has definitively put his very long legal standoff with the United States behind him. Shortly before, the founder of WikiLeaks was declared “free” by the American justice system, following a guilty plea procedure. “You will be able to walk out of this courtroom a free man,” Judge Ramona V. Manglona said after a quick hearing in the U.S. federal court in Saipan, in the Northern Mariana Islands. The whistleblower then left the court without making a statement.
The first round of legislative elections on Sunday is fast approaching. To try to convince in this final stretch, Gabriel Attal, Jordan Bardella and Manuel Bompard argued about dual nationality, the defense of purchasing power or pensions Tuesday evening on TF1. Everyone was able to make their promises, while asking others for the cost of theirs. This Wednesday, they will have the opportunity to see on the ground whether their arguments hit the mark. On the left, the day will also be devoted to maintaining unity while the case of Jean-Luc Mélenchon continues to make waves, including in his own party. François Ruffin thus estimated on Tuesday that the leader of La France insoumise was an “obstacle to the victory of the Popular Front”.
Tuesday evening was not the best for the Blues. Held in check by Poland (1-1), the French team will enter the round of 16 of Euro 2024 as second in its group D, behind the surprising Austria. The return as starter of Kylian Mbappé, scorer from the penalty spot in the 56th minute, did not really reassure the potential of these Blues, unable to score in the game for the third match in a row, despite 19 shots including 7 on target . While waiting to do better next time, the French will know their opponent this Wednesday next Monday, between Romania, Belgium, Slovakia and Ukraine.
