The government faces calls to continue blocking high schools
Despite announcements on Parcoursup or the suspension of classes at the end of the week in high schools to organize a “time of internal democracy”, the government of Sébastien Lecornu has so far failed to calm the anger of the students. The day after a massive mobilization in the streets, the attitude of the mobilized young people will therefore be closely scrutinized this Wednesday. The High School Union and the Student Union have already called for the blockades to continue, and for new processions on Thursday, for an “Act IV”.

With one last goal, Messi bids farewell to the Albiceleste
Argentina will have to make do with, or rather without: Lionel Messi is now a former international. The eight-time Ballon d'Or played his last minutes with the Albiceleste on Tuesday in an atmosphere of fever mixing gratitude and already palpable nostalgia, for a farewell to a genius. The tears flowed of course, and to try to dry them, the iconic number 10 offered his audience a goal and assists. With 208 caps, and now 126 goals with the Argentina team, Messi played the entire match at the age of 39 in front of more than 80,000 privileged people at the Monumental in Buenos Aires, in a festive friendly match against Benin, beaten 3-0. An evening punctuated by an avalanche of “Gracias”.
