It’s a defeat that lingers in the minds of Reconquest!’s militants and leaders. With only 7.07% of the votes in the first round of the 2022 presidential election, Eric Zemmour will not have achieved his goal: to become the new head of state. A disappointment for Philippe de Villers.

Delay in the presidential election campaign

“From the moment of the invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, the campaign went from big replacement to big failure on supermarket and gas station shelves,” the former secretary of state told Culture. A blow to Éric Zemmour, who has campaigned extensively on the issue of immigration.

But the author of “La valse de l’adieu” assures him: “Since the presidential election we have seen that Eric Zemmour was right, before anyone else”. The founder of Puy du Fou says he is particularly marked by the discrepancy “between what is happening in our schools and on social networks about the veil and the discrepancy with what is happening in Iran”.

“It’s something that destroys us”

“In Iran, the veil is an instrument of subjugation of women for theological purposes, and in France, according to neofeminists, it is an argument for freedom. And that’s something that’s destroying us,” he said.

However, it’s out of the question to delve further into Eric Zemmour’s campaign. “The campaign is over. It’s now…

Angry tourists were filmed in China confronting armed guards in gas suits after an entire airport was shut down. Officers armed with guns and shields moved out to repel the crowd blocked by the closure of Xishuangbanna airport in Yunnan province. The blockade was introduced after 61 Covid infections were reported in the area as of Wednesday morning. “I spent 8,000 RMB for a 2-hour tour of Xishuangbanna Airport, I’m really speechless,” a user commented on Chinese social media platform Weibo after his flight was suspended. Authorities are scrambling to keep infections under control as political tensions mount ahead of the Party Congress, a gathering of party elites due to take place in mid-October. The period leading up to Congress, the most important event in China’s political calendar, is a particularly delicate moment. President Xi Jinping is expected to secure a third term at the summit. The President has made “Covid Zero” a cornerstone of his leadership, a policy that has seen entire cities shut down under strict lockdowns for months in a bid to completely eradicate infections. The fear is that the strict Covid restrictions could become more widespread. China has reported a total of 273 cases as of Wednesday morning. According to state media, the outbreaks have spread to 27 provinces. The recent spike in infections, which coincides with a national holiday, has raised concerns that tighter limits could be introduced before the party congress to avoid political embarrassment in Xi. Many areas across the country have taken steps to step up measures following recent Covid outbreaks, with residents barred from leaving Xinjiang on Wednesday, just weeks after the region began easing restrictions after a long lockout . The region, home to 22 million people, reported 38 new asymptomatic cases of Covid on Tuesday. At the airport of Ürümqi, the capital of the region, 97% of departing and 95% of arriving flights were canceled on Wednesday. All departing trains and buses have also been suspended until further notice, and it is believed hundreds of citizens who traveled on the National Day could be blocked by the new restrictions.

After initial investigations into the Nord Stream leaks, Sweden has confirmed the suspicion of sabotage. There is a dispute over the investigation: Russia wants to participate. So far, Sweden, Denmark and Germany have been investigating together.

According to the Swedish Public Ministry, the suspicion of serious sabotage of the Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines has been confirmed.

Prosecutor officials and the Swedish security service in Stockholm said it was possible to confirm that there had been blasts in Swedish waters that had caused considerable damage to pipelines.

Items seized at the crime scene

Seismological institutes in Scandinavia measured magnitudes of 2.3 and 2.1, which the organizations said “likely corresponds to an explosive charge weighing several hundred kilograms.” These are “very serious incidents”. Developments will continue to be closely monitored and everything will be done to ensure Sweden’s safety.

During the investigations at the crime scene, pieces were seized that are now being investigated, announced the public prosecutor. It remains to be seen whether there will be a further process. The barriers around the leaks have already been lifted.

Several governments believe in acts of sabotage

NATO and several European countries also take on the sabotage, including Germany. A government spokeswoman stressed in Berlin that all available information indicated “that it was a deliberate act of sabotage”.

“Spiegel” cited a report by the Federal Criminal Police (BKA) according to which investigators assume a state-controlled act of sabotage. “Particularly in view of the high complexity of the execution of the crime and the corresponding preparation, it seems likely that state actors will act”, quotes “Spiegel” from the BKA report.

Russia wants to participate in investigations

However, Sweden and Denmark are in charge of investigating the gas leaks. Russia is now demanding participation in the investigation. Including Russia should be a matter of course, said the spokesman for the President’s Office in Moscow, Dmitry Peskov. Russia is also interested in clarification. “So far, however, we have only heard disturbing statements at press conferences in Denmark and Sweden that any cooperation with Russia is ruled out.” The Russian government expects “some clarification” on this.

Germany is already involved in the joint investigation team, emphasized a spokeswoman for the Federal Interior Ministry in Berlin. She was not aware of any requests from Russia to get involved.

Operator releases gas

Pipeline operator Nord Stream 2 is releasing some of the gas that is still contained in the intact pipeline. A spokesperson for Nord Stream 2 AG confirmed that it was correct that the pressure was being reduced. This is a precautionary measure. So far, the pressure of 105 bar required for the operation has been maintained. According to the information, gas began to be discharged from the pipeline on Tuesday. This process will take about eight days.

The Danish energy authority said on Twitter on Wednesday that Nord Stream 2 had reported that Russian state-owned company Gazprom was currently reducing pressure on the undamaged B pipe.

In the process, the gas that is used in the greater St. Petersburg area is removed. Nord Stream 2 AG is a subsidiary of Gazprom.

In a statement this Wednesday (5), Senator Carlos Portinho (PLRJ) stressed that following the decision of the Minister of the Supreme Electoral Court (TSE) Paulo, the National Association of Newspapers (ANJ) expressed its support for the newspaper Gazeta do Povo habe de Tarso Sanseverino, who, according to Portinho, removed a post from the newspaper’s Twitter profile.

The senator explained that the Post reported that Nicaraguan dictator Daniel Ortega cut the signal of the CNN news channel in the country and mentioned former President Lula’s support for Ortega. For him, the censorship of the newspaper Gazeta do Povo is “unacceptable”. There is a need to protect democracy from “such acts of the TSE,” he said.

— The Internet is free territory. The Brazilian people do not need to be protected by the state; He must learn and have the discernment to distinguish what is fake news from what is true. Worse in this case where it’s true. What made the TSE censor the Gazeta do Povo newspaper, a traditional newspaper in our country, for publishing a political and journalistic event that took place in Nicaragua? he asked.

aside

Senate Minority Leader Jean Paul Prates (PTRN) dismissed Senator Portinho’s statements and denied there had been censorship.

“Everything is mixed up in this discussion. There is a decision by the TSE which is very clear that several posts are relaying messages, including original messages time and time again, and certain vehicles are exaggerating in building stairs just for the echo. And there was a perfectly plausible complaint from the coalition, which was welcomed by the Brazilian judiciary,” said Jean Paul.

early signs

Winter is slowly setting in across the country. The chances of seeing flakes increase even if the season is still young. Snow will gain ground over the next seven days. In fact, 11 out of 13 provinces and territories will experience snowfall. As a ridge brings warmth to western Canada, an atmospheric trough grips the east. This situation favors cooling temperatures and fixed precipitation.

Snow in Quebec

La Belle province is entitled to snowflakes this week. A few centimeters accumulate in some places, especially in mountainous terrain. However, areas farther south will receive melting snow. It’s expected to snow in Estrie north of Quebec and even in Bas-Saint-Laurent by Sunday.

The flakes are on the rise

Currently, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island are the only two provinces that have not seen snowflakes in a week. However, a trough should form in the west of the country, which would lead to a decline in mercury. Snow is expected in British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario and Saskatchewan. This solid precipitation is not necessarily early or abnormal. This fall, the atmospheric context favors cold descents and winter conditions tend to set in earlier.
