Did you miss the news this early morning? We’ve put together a recap to help you see things more clearly.
This is the big change of the day on the front line of the fight against the spread of Covid-19. This Monday, the vaccination pass replaces the health pass and is now compulsory for people over 16 wishing to go to a restaurant or take the train. It is therefore no longer possible to be satisfied with a negative test, except to access health establishments and services. It is now necessary to justify a vaccination status against Covid-19 in order to have access to leisure activities, restaurants and bars (except collective catering), fairs or interregional public transport (planes, trains, coaches).
The enthusiasm seems real for the popular Primary. The citizens’ initiative, aimed at deciding between left-wing presidential candidates, claimed a total of 467,000 registrants on Sunday evening. This number is above all much higher than those of the primaries of the ecologists in September (122,000), the Republicans in early December (nearly 140,000) or the militant sponsorships of Jean-Luc Mélenchon (260,000). However, for the moment it is only symbolic: Jean-Luc Mélenchon, Yannick Jadot and Anne Hidalgo indeed refuse to submit to this process. Voters will now vote from January 27 to 30 to designate, among seven personalities on the left, the one who will be supported by the primary.
He had reigned over the fashion of the 1980s. French designer Thierry Mugler died Sunday at the age of 73 of “natural death”, announced his press officer. Born in Strasbourg in 1948, he arrived in Paris at the age of 20 and then created his own label “Café de Paris” in 1973, before founding the company “Thierry Mugler” a year later. Its structured and sophisticated silhouettes quickly imposed themselves. The “Mugler woman”, with accentuated shoulders, plunging necklines and corseted waists, has toured the world. Thierry Mugler retired from fashion in 2002 to devote himself to many other artistic projects. But, even far from the catwalks, her aura is still great: icons of today’s pop culture like Lady Gaga, Beyoncé, Cardi B or Kim Kardashian still wear her archive outfits.
