How long can the new French PM last? Is Brazil right to switch off X? How did AfD win in Germany?
Edité par France 24 - 2024
It has also been a week which saw some of the biggest protests against the Netanyahu government in Israel, and a national strike after the killing of six hostages held by Hamas in Gaza. The prime minister is accused of having blood on his hands, and a lack of humanity in blocking truce deals that may have prevented the deaths. He denied the claims, but he did offer an apology.
And this has been the week that tweeting or Xing fell silent in Brazil. The social media platform X is now officially an Ex social media platform in Brazil after a disinformation row rose up between a Supreme Court judge and the site’s owner, billionaire and self-proclaimed free speech absolutist Elon Musk. Has Brazil done the right thing?
- Note
It has been a week which saw France finally appoint a new prime minister. A mountain hiking, smooth-talking septuagenarian – Michel Barnier. Monsieur Brexit, former EU point man negotiating Britain’s divorce. He has served in the cabinet of many French Presidents in decades gone by. Now, he is back as the oldest PM in the French fifth Republic replacing the youngest one! But why Barnier? And why did he want the job? Is it because he is the master of eggshell diplomacy?
