The Embassy of France in Washington touted by the NSA

Wasbah and Blackfoot operations: in these two code names, hiding the wiretapping of American National Security Agency (NSA) that have targeted the Embassy of France in Washington and the French representative to the UN activities. The latter are among the 38 "target" monitored by the agency, said on Sunday the Guardian . The British newspaper relies on a document in September 2010 obtained from Edward Snowden, former IT consultant of the NSA . The agency and sniping at embassies and diplomatic missions in each country.
"In addition to traditional and sensitive countries in the Middle East ideological opponents, the target list includes EU missions and embassies of France, Italy and Greece, and a number of allies America, including Japan, Mexico, South Korea, India and Turkey, "wrote the Guardian . The document "describes an extraordinary range of espionage methods used against each of these targets, ranging from microphones hidden in electronic communication equipment to cables or connections to the collection of transmissions using special antennas," adds the British newspaper.

"Targets to attack"

The Guardian also confirms what was revealed Saturday the German weekly Der Spiegel : representations of the European Union have been tapped to Washington and the UN. A monitoring system was installed on a Cryptofax the EU embassy in Washington. The machine is used to send cables back to the Ministries of Foreign Affairs in European capitals, the documents relate to the NSA.

The agency would also interréssée communication systems of the Justus Lipsius building , which houses the European Council in Brussels, where EU governments have offices from which they can secure calls. According to confidential documents cited by the German magazine, Europeans are explicitly designated as "targets to attack." The operation would have aimed to learn more about the divisions between the member countries of the EU.

According to the German weekly, which continued Sunday in its publication of revelations, the United States also intercept some 500 million communications by telephone or Internet, each month in Germany and nearly 50 million in France. "It is reminiscent of the actions between enemies during the Cold War," responds the German Minister of Justice, Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger. In Germany, "the European country most watched" by the NSA on this subject is particularly sensitive because of the precedents of the Stasi in the former GDR and the Gestapo in Nazi Germany.

American plays of the EU: Netherlands tape fist on the table

The case concerns the European institutions, and now more directly our country. According to the Guardian , France would be one of 38 "targets" monitored by the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) and microphones were installed at the Embassy of France in Washington.

These new revelations, powered by former U.S. NSA consultant Edward Snowden , have reacted President Holland Monday morning. "We can not accept this type of behavior between partners and allies," said the head of state. "We ask it to stop immediately," he said on the sidelines of a visit to Lorient, also holding that "the elements are already gathered enough that we ask for explanations."

About the negotiation that must be open to the creation of an area of ​​transatlantic free trade between the United States and the EU, Hollande said that "we can not have negotiations or transactions" with the United States "once obtained (the) guarantees" a cessation of espionage of the European Union and France. This is "for France, but it is for the entire European Union, all partners of the United States," he said.

The right and the French left condemn U.S. practices. "If it is confirmed that the revelations (...) are real, it would be an unacceptable scandal," responded Monday morning Harlem Désir on France Info, saying the spying are "likely" to challenge the current negotiations with the United States. The first secretary of the PS believes that "the fight against terrorism can not explain everything" and added that he would "hear the leaders of the European Commission to respond more vigorously."

Sunday, the Minister of Justice, Christiane Taubira, estimated that U.S. practices, if confirmed, would be similar to a "hostile act unspeakable." Marielle de Sarnez, Vice President of the Modem and MEP calls for its "severe sanctions" if the charges were confirmed. "These espionage suspicions transatlantic against not only Europeans but also of the very institutions of the European Union, are extremely worrying," said the number two of the modem.
On his blog, the deputy Jean-Christophe Cambadélis, national secretary for Europe and International, writes on his side: "If the revelations on U.S. eavesdropping on European institutions found to be true, then it should at a minimum suspend negotiations of the Treaty of transatlantic free trade . "

"The widespread surveillance device (...) population" is "much worse"

Fleur Pellerin, Minister Delegate in charge of SMEs and the Digital Economy
Michel Barnier, a former minister and UMP alone Commissioner French, was slotted him a tweet on Sunday. "Clarity, truth and transparency is what we can and should expect from our friends and allies. American explanations are necessary and urgent. "

Monday morning, on BFM TV, he added: ". Should seek clear explanations, clear, free the United States" While many are calling for the suspension of negotiations on free trade agreements between the EU and the United States , Barnier shown much more caution. "It's time to put everything on the table," said the Commissioner, urging Europeans to "defend their interests as Americans know how to do."

In fact, the chorus of criticism, only Fleur Pellerin marks its difference, relativizing espionage institutions. "This is not really the first time it happens," said BFM TV on Monday the Minister in charge of SMEs and the Digital Economy, evoking the period of the war in Iraq. "Even if it is an act that is not necessarily friendly from a friendly power, this is not new," she added. For the Minister, "the widespread surveillance device (...) population" is "much worse", "particularly shocking."

Hermes LVMH sentenced to € 8 million

The Sanction Commission of the AMF has fined the company LVMH a penalty of € 8 million.

On the heels of this announcement, LVMH said he was appealing the penalty.

Villeneuve-sur-Lot, the left did not follow the anti-FN instructions

The Republican front has indeed broken the law of partial Villeneuve-sur-Lot . A study conducted by Le Monde and Ifop confirms the indifference of some voters left vis-à-vis the National Front . According to the statistical survey, conducted from the results collected in 149 of the 167 polling stations in the 3rd district of the Lot-et-Garonne, only 23% of voters Socialist Bernard Barral, eliminated in the first round, will be deferred the UMP candidate Jean-Louis Costes in the second round. About 15% of them would have voted for the FN candidate Etienne Bousquet-Cassagne. Finally, rather than choosing between UMP and FN, a majority of Socialist voters (62%) would have preferred to abstain or cast a blank vote.

It is here that estimates, trends, calculated by statistical model. But these results seem to reach those obtained by Joel Gombin , a doctoral student in political science who had become known by analyzing reports of votes between the PS and the FN in the legislative part in the 2nd district of Oise. Ifop and political scientist make a common observation: Villeneuve-sur-Lot, the left-wing voters were very sensitive to the call of the PS at the national level, which recommended them to vote in favor of the UMP Jean Louis Costes to block the FN.
Mobilizing voters of the 1st round

Both tests can mostly sit back and put certain political statements to the punch after the election. Those of a left unprepared, first, that, like the boss of PS members Bruno Le Roux, had held that "no voter left did not vote for the National Front in the second round." However, according to the estimate of the FIFG, 1560 voters Bernard Barral would carry over to the FN candidate. Contribution in voice however represent only 10% of the votes collected by the FN in the second round. What minimize this time the reactions of several leaders of the UMP, such as Jean-Pierre Raffarin , who explained the high level of NF with a "very substantial delay in the Socialist vote."

The strategy of the Republican front has obviously failed, but the report from the left to the FN seems he was not massive. In reality, the FN had mainly benefited the mobilization of voters in the first round. These "new voters" were many: according to the FIFG, a quarter of voters in the second round had not voted in the first. 9275 is voice, which would be distributed equitably among the UMP candidate and representative FN. Jean-Louis Costes , finally elected with 53.76% of the vote , would have made ​​the difference with his opponent with FN its local presence. In Fumel which he is mayor, and in the township where he is General Counsel, the UMP candidate "garnered 1,650 votes ahead of his rival," according to pollster Ifop Jérôme Fourquet, 65% the final difference between the two candidates.
More than the Republican front, whose effectiveness has waned over the years, the local implementation would be the key to win against FN. This confirms that the political scientist Joel Gombin on his blog: "By investing a candidate without fief, the PS was shot in the foot."

Egypt: the army's ultimatum to political leaders

The Chief of Staff of the Egyptian army gave 48 hours to politicians to resolve the crisis, "one last chance to take their responsibilities to the historical circumstances in which the country faces."

"If the people's demands are not met during this period," the army "will announce a roadmap and action to oversee their implementation."
This statement was greeted with cheers in Tahrir Square. "Morsi is not our President, Sissi with us," chanted the crowd.

The staff of the Brotherhood could be evacuated in time.
The Muslim Brotherhood announced on Monday that they planned to set up self-defense militias to protect institutions, on the model of "popular defense committees" formed during the revolution against Hosni Mubarak. "It is a very dangerous part of society uses violence as a means to change because it might encourage others to do the same," said a spokesman for the Brotherhood.
• Four ministers resign
Ministers of Tourism, Telecommunications, Relations with Parliament, and the Environment submitted their resignation on Monday. If the reason for their departure is not filtered, the official MENA news agency had reported earlier that four men were considering leaving the government in solidarity with the protesters.
• Protesters pose an ultimatum

The "Tamarod" movement (Rebellion in Arabic), the cause of the revolt against Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi, decided to wield the weapon of threat. In a statement posted on their website, the protesters asked the head of state to step down no later than Tuesday 17 hours "and allow state institutions to prepare for an early presidential election." In case of refusal, "Tuesday, 17 hours will be the beginning of a full-scale civil disobedience campaign."
