“Hi, it’s Léo, what’s up?”

Former singer Koxie, known for her 2007 hit “Garçon,” joins Sarah Knafo’s list for the municipal elections in Paris. As head of the list in the 14th arrondissement, she claims her approach is “apolitical,” but her support for the Reconquête candidate still places her in the far-right camp and recalls some of her past media positions.

Following the death of far-right activist Quentin Deranque, the National Rally calls for a “common front” against La France insoumise. This marks a symbolic overturning of the traditional “Republican front” against the RN. Several close associates of LFI deputy Raphaël Arnault are among those in custody. One of them, Jacques-Éli Favrot, admits to striking blows but denies responsibility for the death. The investigation must now establish the precise facts.

Finally, a new sport enters the Winter Olympics: ski mountaineering! This dynamic discipline involves climbing with “skins,” carrying skis, and technical descents, promising an intense and unique format. Some purists lament a departure from the original, wilder and more mountainous spirit. But for the audience, the show is expected to deliver.
