Who killed French industry?

At a time when reindustrialization seems to be the subject of consensus and when industrial sovereignty is at the heart of national concerns, how to explain that France has become “a country that no longer knows how to manufacture what it consumes”? In fifty years, France has indeed emptied almost half of its factories and a third of its industrial jobs. Contrary to popular belief, this deindustrialization was not inevitable. It results from political choices, employer strategies and societal transformations. The testimonies of those who have orchestrated, suffered or analyzed this unindustrial revolution make it possible to understand this major mutation of the French economy.

The watchers of October 7

They were 23 young women, from 18 to 20 years old, carrying out their compulsory military service in a very special unit responsible for video surveillance of the Gaza Strip. In Israel, these young girls are nicknamed the eyes of the state. Before October 7, they saw everything, including everything. They alerted, but no one listened to them. They were as much the Cassandres of the Hamas assault, as the first victims. Today, the watchworders of the border with Gaza and the parents of those who were killed have given themselves a mission. Together, they claim justice and truth and shed light on the flaws of security that Israeli society believed guaranteed.
