Zelensky in Paris, La Zarra in turmoil, Riner in gold

“Obviously”, Eurovision animated this weekend. And not always for the right reasons. But the song contest is not the only event to have animated this Saturday and this Sunday of May. We summarize the weekend for you.

1. Volodymyr Zelensky expected in Paris at the end of the day

After The Vatican and Rome, Saturday, Berlin, this Sunday, the Ukrainian president is due to arrive in Paris in the evening. This is the second visit by the Ukrainian head of state to the capital since the start of the Russian offensive in his country in February 2022. Emmanuel Macron had already received him on February 8 at the Elysée. We invite you to relive our live of the day dedicated to the war in Ukraine.

2. La Zarra’s chanson de geste

One of the best front pages of the last years of 20 minutes was crossed out with the title “just a finger”. And we like to refer to this one. We must believe that La Zarra too. At Eurovision, the singer raised her middle finger. She swears it was “in no way a middle finger”. Your turn to judge.

3. Black series in Valencia

A series of murders that questions. Unaccustomed to making headlines, the city of Valence (Drôme) has experienced a resurgence of violence since the beginning of the week, still rarely observed. Three men were shot and killed there in the space of four days. Settling of scores ? Grand robbery? The authorities have in any case decided to reinforce the presence of police personnel on the ground. 20 minutes make the point.

4. A rain of stars is about to fall on the Croisette

We’re getting a little ahead. The 76th edition of the Cannes Film Festival opens this Tuesday. Like every year, selfie and autograph enthusiasts will have their hands full on the steps. 20 minutes helps them in their quest for stars and glitter.
