C’est maintenant ou jamais. Après l’échec de la fusée Zemmour en 2022, Vincent Bolloré se rêve toujours en faiseur de président. L’ogre des médias (Cnews, Europe 1, Le JDD), de l’édition (Hachette, Lagardère, Fayard) et de la com (Havas) a désormais ajouté son propre think tank à son empire : l’Institut de l’espérance. Un cercle de réflexion catholique, dont les idées pour influencer l’élection reine vont du recul de l’immigration à la fin du délit d’entrave à l’avortement, en passant par la préférence nationale pour les logements sociaux ou la baisse de la dépenses publique. Certes, les audiences de CNews…
Sánchez’s government called Feijóo’s comments “profoundly irresponsible” and said he had deliberately conflated two different policies. The beneficiaries of the legalization process that has just concluded cannot vote in Spanish regional or national elections because they are being granted resident permits, and voting rights are reserved for citizens. After being criticized for his inconsistency, Feijóo on Thursday appeared to reverse course. “We agree that a grandchild, where there is a very clear line of descent, should be entitled to Spanish citizenship,” he said during a speech in Santander, but added that he still believed the government had failed to be…
Published on 02/07/2026 – 18:23 GMT+2 Russia is increasingly using jet-powered drones in its mass attacks, counting on the fact that missiles used by Ukraine’s air defences to intercept them are in limited supply. According to Ukraine’s Air Force spokesperson Colonel Yurii Ihnat, Moscow is now deploying jet-powered drones “virtually around the clock” alongside other kamikaze UAVs. Reaching speeds of up to 500 km/h, they can outpace Ukraine’s own interceptor drones. “These drones are no longer within the reach of interceptor drones, whose speed is up to 300 km/h,” Colonel Ihnat said. “That means mobile fire groups and anti-drone interceptors…
Listen on Spotify Apple Music Deezer Le podcast Playbook Paris se délocalise au parc Jourdan des Rencontres économiques d’Aix-en-Provence, où se bousculent les politiques et la plupart des candidats à la présidentielle — à l’exception notable des responsables du RN et de LFI. Malgré les sondages (et les échanges qui se multiplient entre les lepénistes et le patronat), ils ne sont pas les bienvenus sur scène.

Representatives of EU institutions took the stage at a flagship conference in Brussels to push European governments to agree an ambitious long-term budget, including with new own resources. During the Annual EU Budget Conference, the Commission’s flagship event, European Commissioner for Budget Piotr Serafin took an opportunity to push back against so-called “frugal” countries. “We need to be mindful of the link between having a frugal budget and having a modern budget,” Serafin said at the event. He stressed that a too-small EU budget would not necessarily be cheaper for taxpayers, as money that won’t be spent on the EU…
Iran’s joint military command warned Thursday that vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz must use its approved routes or face a “forceful response,” ratcheting up further tensions over a waterway crucial to international trade. The strait, the narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf, has emerged as one of the top issues in negotiations to reach a permanent end to the Iran war. The statement from the Khatam al-Anbiya military command, reported by Iranian state-run television, comes after both US and Iranian diplomats met with mediators in Qatar on Wednesday. It was not immediately clear what sparked the threat from Iran.…
Almost 1.2 million undocumented migrants have sought legal status in Spain under a scheme that has defied a growing European crackdown on irregular immigration, according to final figures released on Thursday. The government of Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, a standard bearer of more open immigration policies, launched the vast plan in April while European neighbours toughen measures in response to pressure from ascendant far-right parties. A total of 1,174,978 applications were submitted between mid-April and 30 June when the window closed, with more than 600,000 already being processed, Secretary of State for Migration Pilar Cancela told a press conference…

European Commission officials privately acknowledge that air conditioning is essential during increasingly frequent heatwaves, as passive cooling measures such as shading and insulation will not always be sufficient. But as cooling demand rises, they also argue that relying solely on air conditioning would drive up electricity consumption, require additional power generation and leave households facing higher energy bills, particularly given today’s high electricity prices. “Air conditioning is definitely one of the tools and a very necessary tool. In some cases, insulation or other passive strategies are not sufficient,” one EU official said on condition of anonymity, after a brutal heatwave…
