I could hang this on a wall, and stare at it for hours, just mentally climb into the peacefulness. Better wrap myself in a warm old quilt first, so I can stay warm.

The silence of the forest in winter …

20241106 Gabriel Attal faces it

Bonjour à toutes et à tous! It's not an exaggeration to say that politics has fallen into chaos. While the left engaged in blame games and the right wing rejoiced over their new transatlantic partner as Trump waltzed back to the White House (this editor almost wanted to skip the update today entirely amid this), Gabriel Attal calmly and methodically welcomed his guests to the organization he established to... combat bullying.

So Let's Face It

As I mentioned yesterday, Attal is launching his anti-bullying foundation “Faire Face”. The event, which took place at the Philanthro-Lab in Paris, brought together tech giants like Meta, alongside Education Minister Anne Genetet. “Faire Face”, which translates to “Face It”, aims to tackle the pervasive issue of school bullying, which affects an estimated two students per classroom in France.

Attal, the former Prime Minister and Minister of Education, co-founded “Faire Face” with Béatrice Le Blay, whose son tragically took his own life due to bullying, and Elian Potier, a former victim himself. They’re determined to use their platform to offer legal and psychological support to families affected by bullying. The foundation also plans to lobby for systemic change, a key concern for Attal, who believes that the current response to bullying is insufficient.

The launch coincided with the National Day Against School Bullying, marked annually on November 7th in France. Attal’s team has been careful to position “Faire Face” as a collaborative force, emphasizing that the foundation will not compete with existing anti-bullying organisations, but rather seeks to consolidate and amplify their work.

More on the party...

But Attal’s busy week doesn’t end there! He’s also making headlines for his political ambitions. We know that he's probably going to inherent the presidential party Renaissance. Regarding this new page, some in his entourage have jokingly remarked that Attal is "off to a good start!”, while others are pointing to his ability to “guarantee the political unity of his political family”. His deft handling of the transition within the EPR group, where he reportedly reached an “arrangement” with Élisabeth Borne (who was also eyeing the leadership role), suggests that he might just pull this off...or so we hope.

And... Future grilling

But let’s not forget, Attal’s political manoeuvring comes at a particularly fraught time for the French government. The public deficit is set to balloon to 6.1% of GDP this year, significantly exceeding initial projections. And who’s being blamed for this budgetary mess? Bruno Le Maire, the former Minister of Economy and Finance, who held the reins at Bercy for a whopping seven years He’s been accused of playing fast and loose with the numbers, particularly by those on the right.

But Le Maire has defended his record, pointing to the massive support packages deployed during the pandemic and subsequent crises, as well as disappointing tax revenues. He'll have a chance to reiterate his defence during a Senate hearing on Thursday, as part of a fact-finding mission investigating the public finance debacle. Attal himself, along with former Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne, will also be grilled by senators in the coming days.

Speaking of grilling, remember that Attal is scheduled to be questioned by the National Assembly on November 12th regarding potential abuse of power during his time as caretaking Prime Minister. Future hearings regarding the topic, if any, could also see the reappearance of his ex, Stephane Sejourne, then Minister of Europe and Foreign Affairs. Get ready for a reunion, and buckle your seatbelt.

JETZT MAG DER SCHNEE KOMMEN

Jetzt mag der Schnee kommen

jetzt mag die Nacht

weiß werden wie vergessenes Licht

Ich will die Luft abtasten

und den Ton der Ferne erlauschen

der deine Nähe verbirgt ...

(Joseph Zoderer; aus: Die Erfindung der Sehnsucht)

Accade in terra.

O in cielo. 

O nel prefissato tempo.

La cosa non è più la stessa, allora.

In terra con Bruno Blais.

La neve è scesa.

La bruma anche.

Bruno sa dare un'onirico sapore, alla bruma.

E ai nevati alberi, il lirico canto dei sogni.

In cielo con Belu Gheorghe.

Quei pini sono già stratificate montagne.

Lo sono nel prospettico andamento e progressione.

Ma la luce, ah quella luce!

Vivificanti lame, fiamme d'infinito, scendono.

Nel prefissato tempo con Ruslan Bezruchuk.

Due giorni all'anno allo Yosemite, spiega Ruslan.

Sì, la cascata diviene fuoco.

E Ruslan è pronto.

Pronto a far intima poesia di generale incantamento.

Ecco, saper attendere.

Di più, saper vedere.

Gli occhi di Bruno Belu Ruslan son lì per trasfigurare.

Cogliere l'attimo che anche nell'apparentemente immoto fulgidamente arde.
