Nothing has been done to prevent this. The Sowetan does not hide his anger after the devastating fire of a building in Johannesburg in which more than 70 people were killed. The building had not been inspected for four years, an illustration of a system where slum merchants thrive. Business Day also evokes corruption in South Africa and dilapidated buildings disconnected from the electricity grid.
In France, L’Opinion welcomes the political coup of Emmanuel Macron’s return to school. The president invited for more than 12 hours the representatives of the parties to discuss institutions, international policy and social initiative. Le Figaro relay the impressions of the participants. Frank discussions according to some but also a lot of smoke.
The German daily The daily mirror wonders: will Joe Biden be a candidate for re-election in 2024? The Americans consider it too old. The 80-year-old Democrat has his party’s support at the moment. But if he had to throw in the towel, he will have to find a replacement urgently. According to the daily, the verdict will be known, at the latest, in the summer of 2024.
