Did you miss the news this early morning? We’ve put together a recap to help you see things more clearly.
A twist at the Bourbon Palace. The government suffered a first major setback on its pension reform on Tuesday evening. The National Assembly has indeed rejected article 2 establishing an index of seniors. The deputies opposed this part of the text by 256 votes against 203, and 8 abstentions. Above all, 38 LR deputies voted against when Elisabeth Borne had just unveiled new concessions to the Republicans on long careers. The snub is therefore obvious for the executive and promises another three days of suspense and tension in the hemicycle, where the debates will stop on Friday, with or without a global vote, for a transfer of the text to the Senate.
Good news for Kingsley Coman: the French striker from Bayern Munich entered the 2022/23 Champions League scorers’ rankings on Tuesday evening. Problem: he did it on the lawn of the Parc des Princes against PSG (0-1) in the round of 16 first leg. Kylian Mbappé, who came on in the 57th minute after recovering faster than expected from a left thigh injury, could also have healed his statistics but his equalizer in the 82nd was invalidated after verification by the VAR. Paris will therefore have to win on March 8 to qualify. While waiting for this victory, our journalist Julien Laloye explains to you why last night’s setback directly calls into question the work of Luis Campos.
By the very admission of the Prime Minister of the archipelago, Gabrielle is the “most significant meteorological event to have occurred in New Zealand during this century”. And this event is particularly tragic. Four people died as a result of the passage of this cyclone, which hit the country earlier this week, authorities announced on Wednesday. Even if the worst is over, the authorities have warned that all danger has not yet been ruled out, with in particular the risk of landslides. A national state of emergency has also been declared for a week.
