On the front page of the press on Tuesday, the decision of the President of the Spanish government, Pedro Sanchez, to organize early legislative elections on July 23.
The country presents this decision as “the consequence” of the “socialist rout” in the local elections on Sunday. A decision justified by Pedro Sanchez by his desire to “give the floor to the Spaniards”, so that they clearly indicate the direction they want for the country. The principle of early legislative is also validated by the boss of the right, who believes that the PP has taken a “first step”, but that “sanchism” is not yet completely “defeated”.
The holding of these early legislative elections therefore seems to satisfy almost everyone, and El Pais wants to believe that “all is not lost for the left”. The newspaper recognizes that “the political cycle seems unfavorable” to the PSOE, but that if the socialists “resist” and that Sumar, the new formation of Yolanda Diaz, the popular communist Minister of Labor, manages to “gather all the forces” left, then “anything can happen”. According to The world, Pedro Sanchez would seek more to “stop the internal rebellion” within the left than to pull the rug out from under the feet of the right – a strategy deemed “risky” or even “suicidal” by some of his PSOE comrades, who would already accuse him of dragging them down with him. The warning of the socialist “barons” is also mentioned on the front page of the newspaper ABCwhich assures that the PSOE executives do not believe in a “remontada” on July 23.
Also in the headlines were the clashes yesterday in northern Kosovo between Serb demonstrators and members of the Kosovo police as well as intervention force from NATO, there is KFOR. This violence, which left about thirty wounded within KFOR, and more than 50 Serbian wounded, according to Belgrade, made the front page of Flash. The Serbian daily maintains that the KFOR soldiers dispersed the crowd “by force”, and that the Kosovo police “fired” on the Serb demonstrators. The latter are demanding the withdrawal from northern Kosovo, where the Serbs are the majority, of the Albanian mayors who have just taken up their duties there. The newspaper quotes the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, which denies questioning KFOR and claims to have only Kosovar law enforcement and Albanian “false mayors” in its sights. Beyond what is happening in Kosovo, Aleksandar Vucic, in power since 2012, is currently being targeted in Serbia by an “unprecedented” protest movement since the fall of dictator Slobodan Milosevic in 2000. Release, this challenge has been further “reinforced” in recent weeks by two mass killings that left 18 dead at the beginning of the month. The newspaper says that “tens of thousands of people demonstrate every week. at the call of a protest movement that establishes a link between the regime of the national-populist president and the deadly violence” which affects the country.
Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic spoke yesterday after his victory in the first round of Roland-Garros against the American Aleksandar Kovacevic, on the violence in northern Kosovo. The Team reports that world No. 3 stopped after the match to write a message on the camera traditionally dedicated to player signatures, where he wrote “Kosovo is the heart of Serbia ! Stop the violence”. A sentence which the sports daily indicates that it “is not insignificant”, recalling that it intervenes not only in a moment of increased violence, but also in a context where Serbia is contesting , for 15 years, the self-proclaimed independence of Kosovo, whose population is mainly Albanian, but also has about 120,000 Serbs. Le Parisien/Today in Francethe declaration of the player, whose father was born in Kosovo, “staggers all the more” as the ethical charter of Roland-Garros theoretically prohibits participants from publicly displaying political or religious opinions – which leads the newspaper to ask if a “sanction” will be taken against Novak Djokovic, whose anti-vaccine positions against Covid-19 had also been quite annoyed.
We don’t leave each other on this. Before saying see you tomorrow, I wanted to suggest that you throw an eyelash at Guardian, which returns to the mystery of the neon green water of the Grand canal in Venice. According to local authorities, this is not a publicity stunt by environmentalists, but fluorescein, a non-toxic substance generally used for testing sewage systems. It was worth getting up early to find out, wasn’t it? Everyone knows that the future belongs to those who get up early. However, should we weave laurel wreaths to those who get up before the rooster crows? Question de Slate, which explains that linking waking up early to being more conscientious, braver and more willful than others, is a bit binary and caricatural. A 2014 study, for example, showed that “morning people are (simply) more ethical in the morning, while evening people are more ethical in the evening”. In other words, everyone has their own pace. Those who wish can therefore go back to bed.
