Anger rumbles, buzzes, backfires. This July 26, 2023, two hundred motorcycles rev their engines as they go up the departmental road which cuts through La Haye-Malherbe (Eure), a Norman village of 1,400 inhabitants. Thus begins the white march for Enzo, 15 years old, killed by a stab wound four days earlier. The noise of the engines, a tribute to the teenager keen on cross-country asphalt, makes an elected official present among the thousand people shudder.

From a rural France, white and popular, ignored by the elites, for which the Bolloré group media have become the sounding board.. “Killed for a look”, broadcast o...

Elon Musk has a giant charity. His money stays close to home.

Among the donations made by the Musk Foundation, $55 million was intended to help a major SpaceX customer meet a charitable commitment. Millions of people went to Cameron County, Texas, after the rocket exploded. And there were donations to two schools closely tied to his companies: one walled inside a SpaceX complex, the other located next to a new housing development for Musk's employees.“What’s really striking about Musk is the disjuncture between his outsized public persona and his very, very minimal philanthropic presence,” said Benjamin Soskis, who studies philanthropy at the Urban Institute. While other billionaires aim for broad impact on society, Mr. Soskis said Mr. Musk's foundation lacks "direction or real purpose, outside of his business ventures."Mr. Musk did not respond to...

Reviews | If there’s one thing Trump is right about, it’s the Republicans

For the thousandth time, the Republican Party has refused a way out that would allow it to free itself from Donald Trump. As long as he's there, it never will be.During this year's presidential primary campaign, the party had the chance to nominate Nikki Haley, a conservative former two-term governor of South Carolina. Unlike Mr. Trump’s, his public career has not been characterized by a life of moral misery. And many polls show she would be a more formidable candidate against President Biden than Mr. Trump. Never mind. Mr. Trump decimated Ms. Haley, most recently on Super Tuesday. She suspended her campaign the next day. But she never had any luck.The Republican Party has become more radical, unhinged and sectarian every year since Mr. Trump took control. In 2016, Republicans were...

However, if the possibility of medical help to shorten an untenable life opens to everyone, without exception, dizzying questions and calls for complex answers, it has spectacularly brought together 90% of favorable opinions among the French. Emmanuel Macron, unlike his predecessor, had the courage to open the debate on an almost unanimously desired change in legislation.

One is the isolation of a vertical group of figures or flowers at the center of some paintings, whether landscapes like "Sunflower" or one of his most famous figurative works, "The Kiss ". Collotypes of the two are displayed side by side in the second gallery of the exhibition.Some of Klimt's paintings only exist today as collotype reproductions. Several originals were destroyed during World War II; others have been reworked. ...
