Obliged passage of each tenant of Matignon: François Bayrou will give his speech of general policy before the National Assembly this Tuesday, January 14. Before the deputies, the Prime Minister will draw up his roadmap for his mandate and present his strategic orientations.
The republican tradition dictates that a vote of trust follows this speech. But it is unlikely that François Bayrou uses it, as the National Assembly is divided. A censorship motion will however most likely be deposited by France rebellious after its speech. Unless surprised, this motion of censorship should not obtain the vote of more than 50 % of the deputies, necessary to bring down the Bayrou government.
2 – South Korea: Deputy trial against the fallen president Yoon Suk -Yeol
The cloth burns in the country of the calm morning. The trial in the dismissal of the fallen South Korean President Yoon Suk-Yeol will begin this Tuesday, January 14. He should spread out until next June. On December 14, 2024, the National Assembly had pronounced the dismissal of the president.
The manager is prosecuted for trying to impose martial law in the country. Refusing his dismissal, the president was to be arrested at the beginning of January, but this arrest was prevented by his security service. A second arrest warrant was issued on January 7. In addition, Yoon Suk-Yeol is targeted by a complaint for rebellion, a crime liable to the death penalty.
3 – Press conference of the Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergei Lavrov
This Tuesday, January 14 at 9:30 am, Russian Minister for Foreign Affairs Sergei Lavrov will answer questions from journalists in Moscow. This will be an opportunity for the head of Russian diplomacy to present his annual assessment there. At the beginning of December 2024, during a meeting of the OSCE, the Minister had reproached Westerners for not taking the “Warnings” by Vladimir Putin.
This conference is eagerly awaited, especially with regard to timing. One week before the nomination of Donald Trump at the White House, the elected president of the United States has already operated many levers in order to force Russian and Ukrainian leaders to sign a peace agreement.

5 – The good news of the day
For the past few weeks, the city of Chartres (Eure-et-Loir) has experienced an innovative system to prevent stroke. Available in around twenty pharmacies around Chartres, this free and simple test detects heart rate disorders thanks to an initiative of the Lions Club Chartres Doyen. If an anomaly is detected by the test, the patient receives a letter intended for his doctor who must confirm the diagnosis and if necessary order the start of a treatment. Detecting these disorders early enough, especially in the elderly, would prevent serious complications or even deaths.
