【パリ時事】フランスのマクロン大統領は18日、国民向けのテレビ演説で、17日の大規模デモに乗じた放火や略奪に「皆が怒りと恥を感じている」と述べ、関与した暴徒を非難した。一方、当局の許可を得て平和的に抗議行動を展開した高校生、労働者の声に「耳を傾けねばならない」とし、政府の対応を約束した。

暴徒が放火、破壊、略奪 55万人デモで混乱―仏

AFP通信が伝えた内務省の最新集計によると、逮捕された暴徒は約2400人、負傷した警官は約1000人に上る。マクロン氏は「(デモに紛れ込んだ)極左の反体制分子と多くの犯罪者が暴力の限りを尽くした」と主張し、「国の転覆を画策した者は責任を問われる」と強調した。

デモには全国で推計55万人が参加。高校生は学習環境の改善を求め、労働者は生活費の高騰に悲鳴を上げた。マクロン氏は「懸念は十分理解している」と語り、政府が生徒、教員と協力して問題解決に取り組むと説明したほか、エネルギーの安定確保に向けた外交に努めると訴えた。

首都パリでは18日も暴徒と警官隊の緊張が続いた。左派政党の一部は、警備で失態を演じたとしてヌニェス内相の辞任を要求した。

U.S.-South Korea relations are strained when it comes to investment and security; mistrust is growing due to problems with major mail order companies

U.S.-South Korea relations are deteriorating in a wide range of areas, from investment to security. South Korea's ambassador to the US, Kang Kyung-wha, has publicly acknowledged problems with intelligence cooperation, and the Coupang customer information leak and delays in investments in the US have caused dissatisfaction with the Trump administration. The Lee Jae-myung administration is seeking to repair relations with a view to golf diplomacy as its pro-China image spreads among MAGA supporters.

Putin strengthens hard-line stance on Northern Territories, suspends negotiations due to sanctions against Russia, visits himself - 70th anniversary of the Japan-Soviet Joint Declaration

It has been 70 years since Japan and the Soviet Union signed the Japan-Soviet Joint Declaration, which stipulated that the Habomai Islands and Shikotan Island in the Northern Territories would be handed over after the conclusion of the peace treaty, but after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the Putin administration objected to sanctions against Russia and suspended peace treaty negotiations. Russia has made it clear that the territorial issue has been "settled," and President Putin has strengthened his hard-line stance by making his first visit to Etorofu Island. Furthermore, Russia's hard-line policy toward Japan also shows consideration for China, and Japan-Russia relations continue to be greatly influenced by the international situation.

Far-right Le Pen continues to lead the pack, six months until presidential election - France

There are only six months left until the French presidential election. Opinion polls show Marine Le Pen (58), former leader of the far-right opposition National Union, leading the party in terms of approval ratings. Former prime minister Philippe (55) and Attal (37) from the centrist ruling party intend to run, but no progress has been made in consolidating the candidates. Le Pen blames previous governments for the worsening finances and appeals to people to vote for her. Even though he was found guilty in the appeals court for the embezzlement of public funds, he maintained his right to vote and declared a halt to financial aid to Ukraine. Mélenchon (75), a radical left-wing candidate, is gaining support among young people, but polls show that Le Pen will win a majority of support in the run-off. In Europe, there has been a noticeable shift to the right in Italy, Germany, and Spain.
