Did you miss the news this morning? We have put together a summary to help you see things more clearly.
Shortly after 11 p.m., Parliament put an end to 18 months of twists and turns on the immigration bill on Tuesday. After the Senate, the National Assembly voted on the text with 349 votes for and 186 votes against, out of 573 voters, LR and RN adding their votes to that of the majority including Renaissance, Horizons and Modem. But this adoption sounds like a Pyrrhic victory for Emmanuel Macron. His camp indeed emerges from this deeply divided sequence: 59 deputies from the presidential majority did not vote for the text. The slump also affects the government: the Minister of Health Aurélien Rousseau presented his resignation to the Prime Minister, without it being known at the moment whether it was accepted.
The blow is particularly hard for Donald Trump. 11 months before the US presidential election in November 2024, the Colorado Supreme Court declared the former president ineligible in this state on Tuesday, in the name of his participation in an “insurrection” during the assault on the Capitol on January 6 2021, and ordered his removal from the local electoral rolls of the Republican primary. However, this decision was immediately suspended to give Donald Trump time to appeal. Denouncing an “undemocratic” decision, the former leader also indicated that he was going to file an appeal before the Supreme Court of the United States, which should be called upon to decide this thorny issue. Above all, Colorado is not the only state where Donald Trump’s candidacy is threatened: similar appeals have been filed in around twenty states. Several, notably Michigan and Minnesota, have rejected them.
VTC drivers will be able to better cope with rising costs, fueled by inflation. The reservation platforms announced on Tuesday that they had reached agreements for an increase in remuneration to a minimum of nine euros per trip and thirty euros per hour. According to Yves Weisselberger, president of the French Federation of Passenger Transport by Reservation (FFTPR), this agreement “proves the solidity of French sectoral social dialogue in the platform sector”. The minimum income per race will thus have increased in a little over a year from six to nine euros. “It’s not nothing,” greeted the president of one of the main driver organizations, the French VTC Association (AVF), Karim Daoud.
