Sunday, September 21, a large tribute ceremony will be held at the Glendale Farm Stadium Stadium, near Phoenix, where 63,000 people are expected to salute the memory of Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, assassinated on September 10 on a Utah campus. The coffin of the 31 -year -old conservative activist will be exhibited in the center of the field, brought like that of a soldier who fell in battle, in the presence of Donald Trump. A vigil organized by the White House at Kennedy Center had already brought together hundreds of supporters. Since the drama, prayers and rallies have multiplied through the United States in memory of the young influencer.
Beyond even his supporters, Kirk is presented as a “Martyr of freedom of expression”victim of a climate of political violence. His funeral in a sports enclosure recall those of Chris Kyle, a sniper who has become a national hero, and mark the exceptional recognition of the conservative camp towards a political activist. If the radical left denounces a man who “Autized hatred”unexpected voices – sports, coaches or public figures – condemn murder and call for unity. Within the Democratic camp, some insist on the need to reject any political violence.
On the French side, the first vice-president of the RN Louis Aliot will be present at the ceremony.
2 – Back to school of the Renaissance party in Arras
On September 20 and 21, the Renaissance presidential party will hold its political school year at Artois Expo, near Arras. On this occasion, his leader Gabriel Attal will give a speech presented as founder on the 21st, where he will defend the need for a “Institutional reset” Faced with a France “Under camisole”.
Objective: to break the constitutional and administrative taboos without calling into question the rule of law, and to project Renaissance towards the 2027 deadline. This return to school will also be an opportunity to launch new thematic conventions (international, public services, education, social fragility) and to open an internal debate on an “ethical GPA”. The party also plans to change the name to embody its renewal. Attal, at the head of the movement since December, has multiplied the trips in recent weeks: participation in the return of Medef and the CFDT, immersion alongside a mayor of Hérault, trip to Ukraine … in Arras, he intends to show his will to “Turn over the table”a radicality intended to replace Renaissance at the heart of the political landscape.
3 – Bruno Retailleau goes to Hervé Morin’s apple party in the Eure
On Saturday September 20, 2025, the traditional Fête de la Pomme d’Hervé Morin will be held at the Manoir de la Fortière, in Taisville-en-Lieuvin (Eure), with as guest of honor Bruno Retailleau, president of the Republicans. This meeting marks the political start of the president of the Normandy region and its party centrists-the new center.
After an atypical 2024 edition, Hervé Morin returns to the tradition of welcoming a major figure of the right: before Retailleau, Gérard Larcher, Valérie Pécresse or François-Xavier Bellamy had been invited. The program provides for an intervention by Hervé Morin from 10 a.m., followed by a unique round table at 11:30 a.m. dedicated to the tenth anniversary of the reunification of Normandy, with a dozen participants from the economic and academic worlds. Bruno Retailleau will pronounce the closing speech. Enough to feed the triple role of this meeting: to be a regional showcase, a place of political exchanges and a forum for national personalities of the right.
4 – First round of the partial legislative in the 2nd district of Paris
Sunday, September 21, will be held the first round of the partial legislative in the 2nd district of Paris, after the invalidation of the 2024 election. Declared ineligible, the outgoing deputy Jean Laussucq (Renaissance) cannot stand up. On the right, Michel Barnier, former Prime Minister and European Figure, is invested by the Republicans with the support of Rachida Dati, who renounced to present himself in exchange for the support of the LRs for the municipal elections in Paris. Renaissance, to avoid confusion, will not invest any candidate.
Faced with Michel Barnier, the Socialist Party aligns Frédérique Bredin, former Minister of François Mitterrand, also supported by environmentalists under the agreement of the new Popular Front. His recent remarks like LFI and RN with two “Great dangers” However, have reached relations with his allies, despite his attempts to appease.
The European deputy Thierry Mariani will wear the colors of the national rally. Long -standing in the constituency, he presents himself as the “Anti-Macron candidate” And could also embody the RN’s ambition for the 2026 municipal elections in Paris. Traditional stronghold of the right, this constituency had switched to macronists in 2017. Beyond the Barnier-Bredin-Mariani trio, other more singular applications complete the landscape: Hilaire Bouyé for reconquest, the entrepreneur Louis Debouzy and Alexandre Stachtchenko, figure of Bitcoin. The second round is scheduled for September 28.
5 – The good news of the day
Under the vaults of Windsor Castle, a sumptuous state dinner was offered in honor of Donald Trump. Placed in the center of the long table and surrounded by 160 guests in the business and technology world, the American president stressed the uniqueness of this invitation. But it is France which, discreetly, radiated throughout the evening: the menu, as required by the British royal tradition since the 19th century, was entirely written in French.
From the “Cresson Cotta Panna Cotta” to the “Cardinal icy bomb” dessert, hexagonal gastronomy has established itself as a universal reference. French wines, including a Grand Cru de Bourgogne and a Pol Roger Champagne, have occupied a place of honor among the selected bottles. Even Cognac Hennessy “Grande Champagne” 1912, chosen for its symbolic link with the mother’s mother, recalled how much the French know-how remains a marker of excellence in the highest ceremonies in the world.
