Did you miss the news this early morning? We’ve put together a recap to help you see things more clearly.
Blockages are rising at refineries. The uncertainty over the fuel supply as the school holidays approach is however not lifted this Thursday morning, despite the breathlessness of the mobilization in the oil sites of TotalEnergies where the strikers have started to return to work. The movement was thus suspended Wednesday evening on the Flanders site in Mardyck, near Dunkirk, and that of La Mède in the Bouches-du-Rhône. The end of the strike had also been voted earlier in the day at the Donges refinery in Loire-Atlantique. On the other hand, it was extended to Gonfreville in Seine-Maritime (refinery and depot) and to the Feyzin depot in the Rhône. At 1 p.m. on Wednesday, one in five service stations (20.3%) were experiencing supply difficulties on at least one fuel (compared to 24.8% on Tuesday), with situations still tense in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté (33 .1%), Ile-de-France (30.5%) and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes (29.4%).
Stuck in legal cases, Jean-Christophe Lagarde finds that his word no longer carries. The president of the UDI therefore announced to members of his party on Wednesday that he was leaving office and that his successor would be elected on December 10. This decision is “painful for me, but necessary for all of us” because “I am not in a position to effectively preside over our political movement”, explains the former deputy who calls into question a “judicial surge (…) carefully prepared” against him. He is notably suspected of having granted a fictitious job as a parliamentary assistant to his mother-in-law. In addition, one of his former collaborators was indicted in early September in the investigation into the magazine’s false accusations. Point having targeted, during the campaign, the deputies LFI Raquel Garrido and Alexis Corbière.
The title holders will have been only the shadow of themselves. Diminished by the absence of too many players, Lyon was no match for the opening of the Women’s Champions League and was routed 5-1 by Arsenal on Wednesday at home. For this first match in the Group C record, OL were indeed deprived of five players who had started the C1 final last spring against Barcelona. Ada Hegerberg, but also Griedge M’Bock, Sara Däbritz, Delphine Cascarino, Dzenifer Maroszan, Catarina Macario, Amel Majri, Vanessa Gilles and Ellie Carpenter, in particular, were absent and should not return soon, said coach Sonia Bompastor. An evening to forget, but to bounce back better.
