L’info du jour

Tractations après les résultats des législatives : Prime Minister Gabriel Attal handed in his resignation this morning to the President of the Republic, but the latter asked him to stay “for the time being in order to ensure the stability of the country”.

The New Popular Front, which came out on top last night, will present a candidate for the post of Prime Minister this week, as PS leader Olivier Faure said on France Info. The choice will be made by consensus or by vote. While Jean-Luc Mélenchon is “absolutely not disqualified” to occupy this position according to Mathilde Panot, negotiations continue within the left to propose a name quickly.

Bac results. The approximately 730,000 baccalaureate candidates will discover their results this Monday, July 8, 2024, expected at 2:30 p.m. for the Montpellier academy. These will be available online or on notice boards in the courtyard of their establishment. This 2024 session was marked by the postponement of the specialty tests in June, while candidates have already known their orientation for next year since May 30 via Parcoursup.

Bar attacked in Alès. Shortly after the election results were released, a group of eight individuals spread across two vehicles started a fight in the Marine bar in Alès. The establishment is notoriously known for hosting far-right political meetings. The political motive is therefore not to be ruled out.

Viktor Orban in Beijing. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban arrived this Monday July 8, 2024 in China to continue his "peace mission" for the&rsquo ;Ukraine, following a trip to Russia to discuss a potential peace agreement with Russian President Vladimir Putin. An approach that has upset the European Union.
