In the European elections, the announced triumph of the far right!
The Rassemblement National, led by Jordan Bardella and supported by Marine Le Pen, is predicted to have a bright future in the upcoming European elections due to weakened competition and unclear opposition strategies. The far right's success seems inevitable to the point where political opponents are more concerned with damage control than preventing their triumph.
Macron and the National Rally, a French Ambiguity!
Emmanuel Macron sparked controversy by stating that the National Rally (RN) led by Marine Le Pen and Conquêtes by Eric Zemmour are not part of the 'republican arc', despite previous actions suggesting acceptance of RN. Macron's unexpected criticism of the far-right aims to alarm over their normalization, which has allowed them to gain significant parliamentary presence and aspire to win the presidency in 2027. The Macron administration is also targeting media groups like Vincent Bolloré's, accused of promoting far-right ideology and lacking journalistic ethics. This move comes ahead of the European elections, as part of a strategy to weaken the media influence of the far-right, which is also accused of exacerbating social unrest, such as the growing anger among French farmers. Macron's reminder of the far-right's non-inclusion in the republican arc is an attempt to alert the public to the political and ideological threat they pose to the republic's institutions.
Macron face à la pression ukrainienne!
Emmanuel Macron orchestrated two major political events to emphasize the gravity of the Ukraine situation: a meeting with former presidents François Hollande and Nicolas Sarkozy, and a discussion with party leaders. Macron aims to build consensus on his vision of the Russia-Ukraine war, facing opposition from leaders who disagree with his approach. The article highlights the internal French divide on Russia, with Macron's strategy targeting the ideological ties of the far-right and far-left with Russia. By proposing a parliamentary debate on Ukraine, Macron seeks to expose his opponents' sympathies towards Russia, aiming to regain international visibility for France and challenge his political adversaries.
Morocco, is the warming underway?
The article discusses the potential warming of diplomatic relations between France and Morocco, focusing on the role of French Foreign Minister Stéphane Séjourné, who has a controversial history with Morocco. It highlights the complexities and challenges in improving these relations, particularly regarding France's stance on Morocco's sovereignty over the Sahara. The article critiques French President Emmanuel Macron's indecisiveness and suggests that a clear policy shift is needed to normalize relations and enhance the strategic partnership between the two countries.
When Washington Targets Algiers!
The relationship between Algeria and the United States is characterized by tension and mistrust, exacerbated by Algeria's support for Russia in the Ukraine conflict and its alleged violations of religious freedoms. The US has placed Algeria on a watchlist for these violations, leading to increased scrutiny and pressure. Algeria's alliances with Russia, Iran, and paramilitary groups like Wagner and Polisario further strain its international relations, painting it as a 'rogue state.' This US pressure could force Algeria to reconsider its political and diplomatic choices, especially as it faces isolation and internal political challenges.
Elisabeth Borne, the end of the reprieve?
Elisabeth Borne's tenure as France's Prime Minister is under scrutiny following the failure of the immigration law in the National Assembly. President Emmanuel Macron, aiming to rejuvenate his second term, is considering a change in leadership. Borne's technocratic style and frequent use of Article 49.3 have limited her effectiveness, leading to speculation about her replacement by Gérald Darmanin. Macron has tasked Borne with negotiating a compromise on the immigration law through a joint parliamentary committee, a last-ditch effort to salvage her position. Success could extend her tenure, but failure would likely result in her departure.
Saudi Arabia Convenes the Arab, Muslim, and African Worlds!
Saudi Arabia is set to host three significant summits involving the Arab League, African Union, and Organization of Islamic Cooperation to address the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. The summits aim to halt the war in Gaza, propose political and military solutions post-ceasefire, and send a global message advocating for peace. The article highlights the strategic importance of these meetings in the context of international diplomacy and the severe humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Various scenarios for Gaza's future governance, including the involvement of the Palestinian Authority and United Nations forces, are being considered.
Is Macron's proposal for an international coalition against Hamas feasible?
During his visit to the Middle East, French President Emmanuel Macron proposed an international coalition against Hamas, similar to the coalition against Daesh and Al Qaeda. The idea, announced alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has divided opinions, with some seeing it as consistent with France's support for Israel against terrorism, while others doubt its feasibility due to political instability. The coalition's success against Daesh was due to a broad international consensus, which may not be replicable against Hamas, especially given the reluctance of Arab countries to be seen siding with Israel against Hamas. The Elysee has downplayed the proposal, suggesting it was more about replicating the success against Daesh rather than committing French military participation. Observers note that while the proposal may struggle to materialize, it could have political and symbolic impacts, potentially legitimizing Israel's war against Hamas and excluding the organization from future political negotiations in the Middle East.
Facing the escalation between Israel and Hamas, the specter of a regional war to fear
The article discusses the escalating conflict between Israel and Hamas, highlighting the potential for a regional war. It critiques the ineffectiveness of international diplomatic efforts, including those by the Arab League, European Union, and the United States. The article also notes the reluctance of Egypt and Saudi Arabia to support Israel's actions, with Egypt refusing to accept Palestinian refugees and Saudi Arabia suspending normalization talks with Israel. The overall sentiment is critical of the military actions and the international community's response.
Macron's Isolation on Morocco
French political figures Éric Ciotti and Jean-Luc Mélenchon's visits to Morocco highlight the French political parties' support for Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara, contrasting with Emmanuel Macron's ambiguous diplomatic stance. While the majority of French parties, including Les Républicains, the far-right, and the left, support Morocco, the French Communist Party remains sympathetic to the Polisario separatist movement. Macron's strategy appears to have alienated Morocco without gaining Algeria's support, as evidenced by strained relations and difficulties in arranging a visit by Algerian President Abdelmajid Tebboune to Paris.
Foreign Labor Yes, Immigrants No... A French Deadlock!
France faces a paradoxical situation where its economy needs foreign labor, yet political discourse often frames immigrants as a threat. The government's new immigration law, proposed by Gérald Darmanin, aims to regularize undocumented workers in key sectors, revealing the essential role of foreign labor in the French economy. This stance contradicts the prevailing anti-immigrant sentiment fueled by far-right figures like Marine Le Pen and Eric Zemmour. The proposed law is expected to spark heated debates in parliament, with opposition from the Rassemblement National, Les Républicains, and the Alliance of the Left, highlighting the complex and contentious nature of immigration policy in France.
The return of all dangers for Emmanuel Macron!
The upcoming political and social season in France is expected to be highly turbulent for President Emmanuel Macron. Rising prices and stagnant wages are straining the public's purchasing power, despite government measures to mitigate inflation. Macron's dramatic tone about the end of abundance and the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia add to the uncertainty. The political landscape is further complicated by the potential for street protests and the strategic interests of political figures like Jean-Luc Mélenchon and Marine Le Pen. Macron's allies, such as François Bayrou and Édouard Philippe, may also distance themselves as they prepare for a post-Macron era. The second term of Macron is anticipated to be fraught with challenges, requiring exceptional crisis management skills.
The Polisario and the Irish Farce!
The Irish embassy in Morocco debunked claims by the Polisario Front and their Algerian supporters that Brahim Ghali, the Polisario leader, was officially received by the Irish government. Ghali's visit was private, organized by a small pro-Polisario group. The Irish government reaffirmed its support for the UN-led process to resolve the Western Sahara conflict, countering Algerian propaganda. This incident highlights the diminishing international support for the Polisario and the effectiveness of Moroccan diplomacy.
In Algeria, instead of elections, war?
The article discusses the political crisis in Algeria under President Abdelmajid Tebboune, highlighting the government's inability to organize presidential elections and the potential for civil unrest. It suggests that the Algerian regime might provoke a conflict with Morocco to distract from its failures and maintain power. The article also mentions Zoubida Assoul, a credible candidate supported by the Hirak movement, and the broader implications for the Maghreb region.
Tension on the Paris-Rabat Axis at Its Peak!
The diplomatic relationship between France and Morocco is at a critical point, with significant disagreements and public disputes. Recent tensions include a miscommunication about a state visit by President Emmanuel Macron and a controversial video message from Macron to the Moroccan people following a devastating earthquake. The core issue is France's reluctance to officially recognize Morocco's sovereignty over Western Sahara, a stance that Morocco finds unacceptable. The article highlights the deepening crisis and the challenges in normalizing relations between the two countries.
The Polisario, towards the terrorist list!
The article discusses the potential designation of the Polisario as a terrorist organization, highlighting Morocco's diplomatic successes and Algeria's continued support for the separatist group. It criticizes the Algerian regime for its stance and compares it to rogue states like Iran and North Korea. The article also mentions the peaceful efforts of the MAK and Rachad movements, which have been labeled as terrorist organizations by Algeria.
King Mohammed VI in Algiers?
King Mohammed VI is expected to participate in the Arab League Summit in Algiers, potentially marking a significant step towards improving Morocco-Algeria relations. The visit could lead to the reopening of borders and the resumption of diplomatic dialogue. The article highlights the King's consistent efforts for reconciliation and the potential benefits of his presence at the summit, including addressing the Polisario issue and reducing Algeria's international isolation.
Macron, the hour of truths!
Emmanuel Macron, despite losing an absolute majority, remains confident and assertive, challenging the opposition to form a coalition or alliance. The opposition, incredulous at his confidence, promises a fierce parliamentary battle. Macron's strategy hinges on appealing to Republicans, parts of the left, and the threat of dissolution. The fate of Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne is uncertain, with calls for her replacement. Macron's success depends on shifting from a dominant presidency to one of constant compromise, as France enters a period of political turbulence and uncertainty.
Macron distances himself from hostile circles towards Morocco
Emmanuel Macron addresses the strained relations between France and Morocco, distancing himself from political and media attacks on Morocco. He emphasizes the importance of advancing relations with Morocco and clarifies that the French government did not instigate the European Parliament's campaign against Morocco. Macron's statements aim to open a new chapter in Franco-Moroccan relations, potentially leading to a high-level political dialogue and a state visit to Morocco.
Alger in the Russo-Iranian Trap Unknowingly!
The Algerian regime faces scrutiny over its strategic alliances with Russia and Iran, raising concerns among Western nations about its role in regional destabilization. The US considers sanctions, while France appears indifferent. The regime must choose between aligning with the West or continuing its support for Moscow and Tehran, risking further international isolation.
Paris, ultimate showdown between Morocco and Algeria
The article discusses the intense diplomatic struggle between Morocco and Algeria over French recognition of Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara. Since Emmanuel Macron's presidency, France has leaned towards Algeria, breaking a tradition of friendly relations with Morocco. Macron's initial focus on historical reconciliation with Algeria has evolved into a strategic political stance, avoiding open recognition of Moroccan sovereignty. This balancing act is challenged by recent international recognitions of Morocco's claims, pressuring France to clarify its position. The outcome of this diplomatic showdown will significantly impact North African regional stability.
Macron Forced to Hold a Referendum on Immigration!
Emmanuel Macron is considering a referendum on immigration, a significant concession to the opposition, particularly the right and far-right. Macron had previously reserved referendums for less divisive issues, but immigration has become a pressing topic. The government, led by Élisabeth Borne, failed to present a new immigration law due to lack of majority support, with right-wing parties demanding the removal of articles they believe would lead to mass regularization. Left-wing parties, however, support the government's economic realism but criticize the excessive firmness as demagogic and populist. The referendum could potentially break the political deadlock but also risks further polarizing the country. Immigration is a dominant issue in French politics, heavily influencing the strategies of parties like Marine Le Pen's Rassemblement National and Eric Zemmour's Reconquête.
What if Marine Le Pen reached the Elysée?
Recent polls in France show the potential normalization of Marine Le Pen's far-right party, National Rally, making her accession to power a conceivable event. The party's shift from being demonized to acceptable is attributed to Marine Le Pen's strategic distancing from the more extreme Eric Zemmour and her adept handling of her parliamentary group. The French government's focus on immigration, aligning with National Rally's agenda, has inadvertently lent credibility to the party. Media restructuring in France has also contributed to a more favorable portrayal of the far-right. However, Marine Le Pen's assured victory in the next presidential election remains uncertain, as becoming acceptable does not guarantee majority support, with right-wing figures like former Prime Minister Edouard Philippe potentially in contention.
Mohammed VI maintains the hand of reconciliation with Algeria
Mohammed VI consistently extends a hand of reconciliation towards Algeria, emphasizing the importance of peaceful and cooperative relations between the two historically and geographically linked nations. Despite provocations from the Algerian regime, Morocco remains committed to normalizing relations. The article criticizes the Algerian military's resistance to reconciliation, highlighting Morocco's diplomatic successes and the international community's recognition of its efforts for regional stability.
Tebboune and France, the mysteries of a cancellation!
The article explores the sudden cancellation of Algerian President Abdelmajid Tebboune's state visit to France, highlighting the unpredictable and strained nature of Franco-Algerian relations. It discusses the diplomatic efforts by French President Emmanuel Macron to improve ties, including high-profile visits and engagements. The cancellation is attributed to various speculated reasons, including internal Algerian political tensions and disagreements over regional crises, particularly the Western Sahara issue. The article criticizes the Algerian regime's handling of diplomatic relations and suggests that Macron may need to reassess his approach to the Maghreb region.
Macron, the loner of the Elysée?
Emmanuel Macron's pension reform has led to significant social unrest and political tension in France. Despite the Constitutional Council's validation, the reform has been met with widespread opposition, leading to a potential political impasse. Macron's reliance on Article 49.3 has exacerbated the situation, isolating him politically. The article highlights the strained relationship between Macron and his Prime Minister, Elisabeth Borne, and questions the future of Macron's governance amidst ongoing social and political challenges.
Macron under maximum pressure!
Emmanuel Macron is experiencing one of the most crucial political phases of his second term, facing intense union and political pressure. He chose to use Article 49.3 of the French Constitution to pass the pension reform without a parliamentary vote, a decision that has escalated tensions. The current French climate is highly explosive, with weeks of street protests and a determined parliamentary opposition. Macron's presidency is now challenged by the potential of a censure motion, which, if successful, would invalidate the pension reform passed by 49.3. Macron has threatened to dissolve the National Assembly and call for early legislative elections if the government falls, a risk that may deter some parliamentarians from supporting the censure. Regardless of the outcome, Macron's governance is likely to face reduced public support and potential internal weakening, affecting his reform agenda and international standing.
Macron Agitates the Maghreb!
Despite a longstanding bilateral crisis, Morocco and Algeria lack ambassadors in Paris, raising questions about the future of relations between France and the Maghreb capitals. French President Emmanuel Macron's diplomatic approach, particularly towards Algeria, has been criticized, and his administration's handling of the situation is seen as potentially destabilizing. The article suggests that Macron's focus on historical reconciliation with Algeria may have led to a political myopia, neglecting realistic approaches that could ensure a strong strategic partnership with both Maghreb capitals. The instability of the Algerian regime and Morocco's clear demands for France to recognize its sovereignty over Western Sahara are highlighted as key issues. Macron is urged to make decisions that support regional stability and the economic interests of both sides of the Mediterranean.
Sequence 'Bureau des légendes' between Paris and Algiers
The diplomatic relations between France and Algeria have deteriorated following the controversial arrival of Franco-Algerian journalist Amira Bouraoui in France via Tunisia. The Algerian government reacted strongly, recalling its ambassador and accusing France of violating its sovereignty. France, maintaining a minimalistic diplomatic stance, claims it merely assisted a French national in distress. The crisis has also affected Tunisia, leading to the dismissal of its foreign minister. Despite the tensions, the upcoming visit of Algerian President Abdelmajid Tebboune to France remains scheduled, highlighting the fragile nature of the Franco-Algerian alliance.
Spanish Lessons from Morocco!
Morocco and Spain have reinforced their political and diplomatic ties, with Spain recognizing Moroccan sovereignty over the Western Sahara, a move that has disappointed Algeria and the Polisario Front. The strengthened relationship between Morocco and Spain is seen as a strategic partnership that could influence the European Union's stance on the issue. The article also hints at a potential shift in France's position, as Morocco seeks similar recognition from its historical ally.
Honeymoon between Rabat and Madrid, cold crisis with Paris
Morocco and Spain are experiencing a diplomatic 'honeymoon' with a high-level meeting in Rabat, while simultaneously, Morocco's relationship with France is strained, marked by political divergences. Morocco questions why France does not follow Spain's lead in recognizing Moroccan sovereignty over the southern provinces. The Moroccan-French relationship is further complicated by the potential French arms sales to Algeria, which could be used against Morocco or shared with the Polisario Front. Despite these tensions, French spokesperson Anne-Claire Legendre insists that France seeks a strong partnership with Morocco. Meanwhile, Spain is committed to strengthening its partnership with Morocco, as evidenced by a large delegation led by Spanish government officials, including Nadia Calviño and Teresa Rivera, aiming to bolster economic and political ties.
Algeria, Hatred as a Mode of Governance!
The Algerian regime has shown a face of hatred towards Morocco, exemplified by denying the Moroccan U-23 football team's participation in the African Nations Championship (CHAN) by not granting overflight authorization. Despite interventions by CAF and FIFA leaders with President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, the Moroccan team was unable to fly to Constantine. The Algerian media, following directives from President Tebboune's office, did not cover Morocco's achievements positively. This institutionalized hatred is morally condemnable and inexcusable. The Algerian boycott of Morocco's achievements and CHAN participation does not diminish Morocco's international recognition. The Algerian regime's actions are seen as a communication failure and a violation of international diplomacy, leading to shame among many Algerians and revealing the regime's intent to escalate regional hatred.
Return to Normalcy of the Paris/Rabat Axis?
The visa crisis between Morocco and France has ended, marking a significant step in restoring their partnership. French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna's visit to Morocco highlighted France's supportive stance on Morocco's autonomy proposal for Western Sahara, though recent international recognitions have made France's position seem outdated. Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita emphasized the need for France to adapt its approach to the evolving regional dynamics and reassured that Morocco's diversification of partnerships would not undermine its relationship with France. The visit aimed to prepare for President Emmanuel Macron's upcoming state visit to Morocco, underscoring the deep, multifaceted ties between the two nations.
Kaïs Saïed and the Algerian Curse!
Tunisians massively boycotted the legislative elections called by President Kaïs Saïed, highlighting widespread discontent with his authoritarian rule. Initially welcomed for breaking political norms, Saïed's despotic tendencies and failure to gain military or public support have led to political isolation and economic dependency on Algeria. International partners, including France and the U.S., criticize his dictatorial turn, exacerbating Tunisia's political and economic crises. The situation's sustainability is in question, with significant implications for the country's stability.
The Economy in the Service of the Prosperity of the Sahara
The article discusses King Mohammed VI's speech on the economic and political development of the southern provinces of Morocco, emphasizing the transformative impact of investments and initiatives in the Sahara region. Highlighting the Morocco/Nigeria gas pipeline project, the speech underscores Morocco's commitment to regional prosperity and contrasts it with Algeria's destabilizing actions. The narrative aims to convince the international community of the benefits of Moroccan sovereignty over the Sahara, showcasing the country's achievements and its vision for a prosperous future interconnected with its African neighbors.
King Mohammed VI in Algiers?
King Mohammed VI is expected to attend the Arab League Summit in Algiers, potentially marking a significant step in improving Morocco-Algeria relations. The visit could lead to reopening borders and resuming diplomatic dialogue, despite existing tensions over issues like the Polisario. The summit is seen as an opportunity for reconciliation, with the international community largely supporting Morocco's autonomy plan for the region.
Polisario, at the twilight of separatism!
The article discusses the potential decline of the Polisario Front's separatist movement in the Western Sahara conflict, influenced by changing international perceptions and regional power dynamics. The Moroccan autonomy plan is gaining traction, and the UN Security Council, with changing stances from the US, Spain, Germany, and Arab unanimity, is discussing the Sahara issue. The French diplomatic position, Algerian involvement, and Iranian support for the Polisario Front are identified as key uncertainties. The article suggests that the separatism of the Polisario Front, which is experiencing internal disputes, is at a crossroads, with the only viable solution being integration into the UN process and acceptance of Morocco's autonomy plan.
Macron's Visit to Algeria Scrutinized in Rabat
French President Emmanuel Macron's visit to Algeria is closely monitored in Rabat, with a focus on several sensitive issues including Algerian gas supplies, memory fractures, the Malian imbroglio, the crisis between Madrid and Algeria, and the Moroccan Sahara issue. Macron faced setbacks before his visit, with the Grand Rabbi of France of Algerian origin, Haîm Korsia, withdrawing from the trip and the mysterious omission of Chems Eddine Hafiz from the official French list. Morocco's King Mohammed VI has called for clarity from allies on the sovereignty over the Sahara, targeting France without naming it. The Moroccan and Algerian governments are aware that France's position could either resolve or delay the regional dispute. Macron's visit is seen as a delicate diplomatic exercise, with potential discussions on easing visa restrictions for Maghreb citizens and deepening partnerships in the region.
Sahara: Mohammed VI urges certain allies to leave the grey zone!
The article discusses a powerful speech by King Mohammed VI of Morocco, urging allies to clarify their stance on Morocco's sovereignty over Western Sahara. The King emphasizes that Morocco's alliances are contingent on support for its territorial claims. The message is particularly directed at countries like France, which have shown ambiguity. The speech marks a significant diplomatic shift, demanding unequivocal support from allies and signaling a potential end to diplomatic hesitations. The article highlights the implications for international relations, especially with France, ahead of President Emmanuel Macron's visit to Algeria.
Mohammed VI Extends the Hand of Brotherhood to Algeria
King Mohammed VI of Morocco has reiterated his country's longstanding policy of good neighborliness and desire for reconciliation with Algeria on the 23rd anniversary of his accession to the throne. Despite the ongoing political and economic challenges in the region, the King has emphasized Morocco's friendship and support for the Algerian people, warning against forces that seek to sow discord. The article suggests that the Algerian government's policy of hostility towards Morocco is losing traction among its citizens, who are increasingly skeptical of the regime's justifications for maintaining closed borders and labeling Morocco as an eternal enemy. The article also touches on the broader regional and international context, noting the Algerian government's strained relations with other countries and the potential implications for the upcoming Arab League summit.
The Migration Crisis, a Common Burden!
The article discusses the escalating migration crisis, highlighting the challenges faced by Morocco as a transit country and the need for collective responsibility among European and North African nations. It emphasizes the dual approach of security and humanitarian policies adopted by Morocco and calls for greater economic and logistical support from the European Union to manage the migration flows effectively. The text also touches on the role of organized crime and the potential political manipulation of migration issues.
Visas, a French double-edged sword!
The article discusses the controversial reduction of visas granted by France to Maghreb countries, highlighting the frustration and disappointment it has caused among those affected. It criticizes the policy as a politically motivated decision influenced by right-wing pressures during an electoral period. The text calls for a reassessment of the strategy, emphasizing the importance of maintaining strong human and cultural ties between France and the Maghreb. It suggests that the new French government, under the leadership of Catherine Colonna, should prioritize restoring normal relations and moving away from a purely security-focused approach.
Sudden Tension Between Algiers and Tunis!
The once cordial relationship between Algeria and Tunisia has rapidly deteriorated into a tense and critical exchange. Algerian President Abdelmajid Tebboune's previous praise and economic promises to Tunisian President Kaïs Saïed have given way to public denunciations and diplomatic friction. The shift is attributed to Tunisia's ambiguous stance on the Moroccan Sahara issue and its growing ties with the UAE. The tension highlights underlying political fractures and the complex dynamics of regional alliances.
Macron faces the challenge of the legislative elections!
Following the presidential election results, opposition parties frame the upcoming legislative elections as a crucial third round. Jean-Luc Mélenchon of France Insoumise aims to leverage this opportunity to challenge Emmanuel Macron by forming a leftist alliance. Meanwhile, Marine Le Pen's far-right party seeks to prevent Macron from gaining unchecked power. Macron, aware of these dynamics, has formed a new alliance, 'Renaissance,' to secure a parliamentary majority. The legislative elections promise unprecedented suspense, with traditional political norms being tested and various political forces vying for influence.
Curses of Algerian Gas
The article discusses the geopolitical implications of Algeria's decision to close the Maghreb-Europe gas pipeline, which has led to a diplomatic crisis with Spain. The Algerian regime's actions, driven by animosity towards Morocco, have backfired, isolating Algeria and damaging its credibility. In contrast, Moroccan diplomacy, under King Mohammed VI, has successfully navigated the situation, strengthening ties with Spain and securing gas supplies. The article criticizes the Algerian regime's irrational and aggressive behavior, predicting further isolation and internal unrest as a result of its policies.
Macron, Inevitable Second Term!
Emmanuel Macron is portrayed as the inevitable winner of the French presidential election after a debate where he demonstrated a strong command of issues and dominated over Marine Le Pen, who is criticized for her lack of competence. Despite Macron's apparent lead, the latest polls suggest a tighter race than expected, with votes against Macron and the far-right converging to a potentially close finish.

Macron menacé par le casting gouvernemental
L'article analyse la situation politique en France sous la présidence d'Emmanuel Macron, soulignant sa chance initiale due à une opposition faible et un contexte international favorable. Cependant, l'article se concentre sur les récentes difficultés rencontrées par Macron, notamment les scandales sexuels impliquant deux membres de son gouvernement, Gérald Darmanin et Nicolas Hulot. Darmanin est accusé d'avoir échangé des faveurs sexuelles contre des services, tandis que Hulot est confronté à des accusations de viol prescrites. Ces affaires ont entaché la réputation du gouvernement Macron et posent des questions sur la capacité de ces ministres à continuer à servir dans leurs fonctions. L'article questionne également la réaction de Macron face à ces crises et s'il sacrifiera Darmanin et Hulot pour maintenir l'intégrité de son gouvernement.
State visit to Tunisia against a backdrop of social tensions for Macron: what are the stakes?
French President Emmanuel Macron arrived in Tunisia on January 31 for a two-day state visit amidst social unrest in the country, seven years after the Arab Spring. The visit includes a meeting with his Tunisian counterpart and a speech to Tunisian deputies on February 1. Journalist Mustapha Tossa highlighted the visit's importance compared to previous ones in the Maghreb, noting Macron's intention to value Tunisia's democratic experience during a period of social contestation. Riadh Sidaoui, director of CARAPS, emphasized the need for European support for Tunisia's emerging democracy, pinpointing the economy as the current main issue. He suggested that France could help Tunisia establish a welfare state to address the grievances expressed by protesters.
The Great European Confusion Over Morocco
The article discusses the tension between the European Union and Morocco following an opinion by Advocate General Melchior Wathelet of the Court of Justice of the European Union, which deemed the EU-Morocco fisheries agreement invalid because it includes the Sahara region. The article argues that Morocco, confident in its historical and political legitimacy, has not reacted to what it considers the personal opinions of Wathelet. It emphasizes the importance of the strategic partnership between the EU and Morocco, particularly in combating terrorism, organized crime, drug trafficking, and illegal immigration. The article calls for a definitive European stance to prevent undermining this partnership and suggests that the EU's interests align with maintaining stability in the Mediterranean and Sahel regions.
