Did you miss the news this early morning? We’ve put together a recap to help you see things more clearly.
Emmanuel Macron will find out this Thursday if his intervention on Wednesday helped to calm things down or, on the contrary, to stir up anger about the pension reform. For the ninth time since January, the unions are indeed calling for a day of strikes and demonstrations, convinced that the “contempt” and “denial” of the Head of State, expected at the start of the afternoon in Brussels to a European Council, will strengthen the determination of opponents. This day is especially the first organized at the national level after the adoption of the law via the constitutional weapon of 49.3, on March 15. In transport, the SNCF has warned that traffic will be “severely disrupted” and on the side of the RATP, almost all the lines of the Paris metro will be “very disrupted”.
The suspense remains around the fate that justice will reserve for Donald Trump in the coming days. As New York and America hang on a possible indictment of the former president in the Stormy Daniels case, the grand jury set to rule on possible charges did not meet on Wednesday, according to US media . The timing of an announcement, between this Thursday or next week, remains unclear. We don’t know if this is a technical hitch or a sign that the prosecutor’s case is not solid. But, regardless, Donald Trump remains surrounded by business, with investigations into classified documents and the 2020 presidential election.
The specter of a nuclear catastrophe once again hangs over Ukraine. In the south-east of the country, the nuclear safety of the Zaporozhye power plant is in a “precarious state”, indeed warned on Wednesday the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Rafael Magnified. According to the organization, the “last emergency power line” of the largest power plant in Europe, damaged since March 1, remains “disconnected and under repair”. However, it allows it as a last resort to ensure nuclear safety, in particular by cooling its reactors.
