Three days after the announcement of the departure of the principal of a Parisian high school threatened with death after an altercation with a student to make her remove her veil, a rally is planned for Friday in front of the school campus. It is scheduled for 7:45 a.m., at the call of the Socialist Party, which invites students, parents and teachers. For its part, the main union of heads of establishments, SNPDEN-Unsa, will speak in the morning, for the first time since the start of the affair, during a press conference on the theme of “violations to secularism.” Management staff are “on the front line”, he recalls in the press invitation.
Four people died Thursday, swept away by the sea, on the northwest and northeast coasts of Spain, swept by violent winds and waves several meters high. “Two deaths after falling into the sea in Muros del Nalón and Cudillero,” said a statement from the Emergency Service of Asturias, a region in the northwest of the country, where waves reached up to seven meters high. A little later in the afternoon, it was on the Catalan coast that a 16-year-old Moroccan teenager fell into the water on the beach in Tarragona. A 32-year-old German who was passing by then jumped into the water to try to help him, the Civil Guard continued, but they both drowned.
The transition to summer time will take place this weekend, during the night from Saturday to Sunday. This Saturday evening, you will have to remember to set your watch forward an hour before going to bed. At 2 a.m. this Sunday, it will therefore be 3 a.m. Like every year, the French will therefore lose an hour of sleep, in order to be able to enjoy the sun longer during the day. The summer and winter time changes were implemented in 1976, after an oil crisis. It was agreed that the spring equinox, in March, would be the day of the transition to summer time, because of the return of sunny days. The autumnal equinox was also chosen for the changeover to winter time, since nights fall earlier.
