Hello good morning!
If 1 1 is 2… France is once again a powder keg and the ‘banlieues’ its epicenter. The Élysée redirects its priorities here while the future of the Wagner group is uncertain and affects the Sahel from which Paris, before, already left. It may be the next powder keg. And points to Spain.
The police take over France for a new revolt in its suburbs. The country accumulates nights of violence after the death of a 17-year-old boy by the shot of an agent at a traffic control. There is outrage. There is violence. It is feared to revive a social crisis.
Nanterre, the ‘ground zero’. The epicenter of the protest bears the name of Picasso and is next to the great financial center of France, a symbol of French economic power, in the same suburb where the May 1968 revolt began. “Casual”, it reads.
Spain looks… at the Sahel. From France the river goes down in trouble. As in Russia after the Wagner coup and, as a rebound, in the Sahel, the southern European border. The already uncertain future of both in this area worries Spain because jihadism is advancing here.

The most European 23-J? The pre-campaign for the generals advances while in Europe, the road is strewn with turns to the right. Greece is the latest example of it. The popular Europeans see in Feijóo the spearhead that strengthens the change.
The prices are scary. The good news is from yesterday: prices are controlled and inflation moderates below 2% for the first time in two years. For the bad, Barcelona sets an example: it is the most expensive city to buy a home and historical limits are exceeded.
Ahmed Tommouhi spent 15 years face to face in prison convicted of rape. Eye recognition was key. And now the Supreme Court has annulled the conviction. This type of test is once again highly questioned. “I just wish it didn’t happen to anyone else,” he repeats.
Norbert Bilbeny, philosopher. “We live in a period of mental immaturity”. Read it here.
To travel is to change. Spending 19 months around the world is surely the dream of more than one and two and three of the readers of this newsletter. It is also said that it changes. Roc and Anna have done it. China and Mexico stand out. And here they tell it.
The movie premieres this Friday are, once again, the best excuse to get closer to the big screen. No matter how you look at it, good things abound and whether it’s self-destructive selfies or unicorns. Of course, Aisha stands out: “economy of means, maximum emotion”.
A nose with AI. Technology is advancing by giant steps and to prove it, the market release of a nose that promises to smell the danger of spoiled food… Kitchens may be about to change.
