Did you miss the news this early morning? We’ve put together a recap to help you see things more clearly.
On the front of urban violence, the trend towards calm is confirmed. For his first trip on Monday since the start of the crisis, Emmanuel Macron wanted to appear with the police. For this, he went in the middle of the evening with his Minister of the Interior Gérald Darmanin to the Bessières barracks in Paris, which hosts the staff of the night BAC and departmental intervention companies, to thank them for their “exceptional mobilization”. And this Tuesday, the Head of State intends to mark a political takeover by receiving the mayors of some 220 municipalities “victims of abuse”. With this consultation of local elected officials, the president “wishes to begin meticulous and longer-term work to understand in depth the reasons which led to these events”, indicated the Elysée.
The Medef takes out its calculator to estimate the consequences of urban violence. In an interview at Parisian published Monday evening, the boss of bosses, Geoffroy Roux de Bézieux, estimates at more than one billion euros the damage for companies caused by the riots, following the death of Nahel killed by the shooting of a police officer. This figure is “not counting the damage to tourism” which will be impacted because “the videos of the riots, which circulated around the world, degrade the image of France”. According to the president of Medef, more than 200 shops were completely looted, 300 bank branches destroyed and 250 tobacconists affected.
The verdict is approaching for the 718,723 baccalaureate candidates. They will indeed discover this Tuesday their results with three possible choices: admitted, remedial or failed. From 8 a.m. in certain academies (Aix-Marseille), but mainly from 10 a.m. (academies of Paris, Créteil, Versailles), and 10:30 a.m. (Amiens, Besançon, Corsica, Dijon or even Strasbourg), candidates for general, technological and professional will be able to consult their results online or on bulletin boards in the courtyard of their establishment. This 2023 edition has above all a particular flavor. It launched the new baccalaureate which, for the first time since the 2019 reform, came into full effect this year. And if the baccalaureate remains the key to starting higher education, many high school students already know their orientation for next year, because Parcoursup has been giving its answers to future students since June 1.
