Did you miss the news this early morning? We’ve put together a recap to help you see things more clearly.
To close the examination at first reading of the 2023 State budget, the National Assembly examines Friday a new motion of censure of the Insoumis against the government in an atmosphere at loggerheads with the RN deputies after a serious incident in session Thursday.
The exclamation “Let him return to Africa” by RN Grégoire de Fournas in the middle of a speech by MP Carlos Martens Bilongo, provoked indignation and calls for a sanction. Grégoire de Fournas assures us that he was talking about a migrant boat, and not about his colleague. The very probable rejection of the motion, examined from 3:30 p.m., will be worth adoption at first reading of the entire finance bill.
“More” cooperation despite “different points of view”: German Chancellor Olaf Scholz spared Xi Jinping on Friday during a controversial visit to Beijing, in a context of Western defiance of the authoritarian regime Chinese. This trip of a few hours is the first of an EU and G7 leader in China since the start of the pandemic almost three years ago.
This visit, which comes just after the reappointment of President Xi as head of the Chinese Communist Party and the country, is seen with a critical eye in Germany, but also in France, Brussels and Washington. Received shortly after his arrival in Beijing, Olaf Scholz told Xi Jinping that he wanted to “further develop” economic cooperation with China.
Elon Musk wasted no time. “We will begin the difficult process of reducing our global workforce on Friday,” Twitter told its employees Thursday in an email seen by AFP, confirming the rumors that have been circulating since the Tesla boss bought the social network. A week ago. According to washington postthe new leader plans to thank about 50% of the approximately 7,500 employees.
The takeover was financed by $13 billion in debt. Twitter, which has only made a profit twice, could quickly be crushed by interest of a billion dollars to be paid each year, especially in times of crisis among advertisers and a sluggish market. Elon Musk is therefore seeking to drastically reduce the payroll. And to create new income, in particular by making the verification of accounts pay 8 dollars per month.
