L'hommage de la Nation au policier Xavier Jugelé


LE FIGARO: Le chef de l'État a rendu un hommage national au policier assassiné jeudi soir sur les Champs-Élysées. Il a appelé son sucesseur à donner «les ressources budgétaires nécessaires pour recruter les personnels indispensables à la protection de nos concitoyens».

À 11 heures ce mardi matin, la République avait rendez-vous dans la cour d'honneur du 19 août de la Préfecture de police de Paris, au coeur de l'île de la Cité, à quelques pas du palais de justice, pour rendre hommage à Xavier Jugelé, le policier tué jeudi sur les Champs-Élysées. Le lieu est symbolique: son nom rend hommage au soulèvement de la préfecture, aux gardiens de la paix qui ont combattu pour la libération de Paris lors de la Seconde Guerre mondiale pendant laquelle 177 policiers avaient trouvé la mort. Symbolique aussi car c'est dans cette même cour qu'avait eu lieu l'hommage des trois policiers - Clarissa Jean-Philippe, Franck Brinsolaro et Ahmed Merabet - tombés le 7 janvier 2015 sous les balles des frères Coulibaly, ceux-là même qui avaient perpétré le carnage à Charlie Hebdo. » | Par Anne Jouan | mardi 23 avril 2017

France Presidential Election: President Hollande Reacts to 1st Round, Calls to Support Macron


François Hollande laisse une France en mauvais état


LE FIGARO: Le chef de l'État n'est pas parvenu à enrayer la progression de la dette ou à baisser significativement le chômage. Quant au «ras-le-bol fiscal» des Français, il n'a pas disparu.

C'était il y a un peu plus de cinq ans. François Hollande, candidat à la présidence de la République, faisait campagne pour une France «apaisée». Il estimait que Nicolas Sarkozy l'avait fracturée et laissée dans un désordre économique et social rarement atteint. Aujourd'hui, le chef de l'État considère que son contrat est rempli. «Je laisse ce pays dans un bien meilleur état que celui que j'ai trouvé il y a maintenant cinq ans. Nous avons plus d'embauches, le chômage baisse, nous avons des investissements, une croissance qui repart», s'est-il félicité ce jeudi matin, lors d'un déplacement à Biars-sur-Cère, dans le Lot. » | Par Marie Visot | vendredi 21 avril 2017

Frankreich: Scharfschütze eröffnet Feuer während Rede von Präsident Hollande – Zwei Verletzte


Bei einer Rede des französischen Präsidenten, François Hollande, ist es heute zum Schockmoment gekommen. Ein Scharfschütze eröffnete plötzlich das Feuer und gab einen Schuss ab. Zwei Menschen im VIP-Bereich wurden von der Kugel getroffen und leicht verletzt. Hollande reagierte äußerlich gefasst. Er unterbrach seine Rede, schaute sich um, wartete kurz und sagte dann: „Ich hoffe, das nichts Schlimmes passiert ist.“ Danach setzte er seine Rede fort.

Der französische Präsident weihte heute in Villognon eine neue Bahn-Schnellstrecke ein. Der Scharfschütze war zum Schutz der Veranstaltung eingesetzt worden. Die Staatsanwaltschaft hat wegen der „falschen Waffenhandhabung“ eine Untersuchung eingeleitet.
