International. Vladimir Putin will hold a press conference on Thursday to take stock of the year. He will speak live with compatriots, the Kremlin explained. This is a first since the start of the war in Ukraine, at the end of February 2022, and while he is a candidate for re-election to the Russian presidency. Election to be held in three months, in March 2024. At the end of 2022, the annual press conference and the “Direct Line” program, two formats traditionally used by Vladimir Putin, had not taken place, while the Russian army was coming to suffer significant setbacks on the Ukrainian front, notably its withdrawal from Kherson in early November.
Economy. INSEE delivers its economic forecasts for the first two quarters of 2024, so France ends 2023 in gloom: we will thus be able to see where the Institute of Statistics ranks, between the government which based its budget on a growth hypothesis by 1.4% in 2024, and economists, who rather anticipate 0.8%.
Justice. The Paris judicial court rules on the fate of French actress Isabelle Adjani, tried in October in her absence for tax fraud and money laundering, and against whom the national financial prosecutor’s office requested an 18-month prison sentence with suspended probation and 250,000 euros fine in particular.
