ARTICLE LONG FORMAT, Clément Guntern | En se lançant dans la voie bilatérale au début des années 2000, la Suisse pensait avoir trouvé une forme de cohabitation avec son voisin européen qui serait profitable et adaptée aux particularités suisses. Or, dès sa conception, cette voie était en réalité une impasse politique. Elle le reste aujourd’hui et s’explique par une série de mythes bien ancrés dans notre pays. Pour sortir de ce cul-de-sac, c’est au peuple suisse qu’il revient d’avoir enfin un projet européen. Un acte demandant courage et modestie et qui renforcerait notre identité nationale.
The year 2020, in addition to having seen a pandemic of immeasurable impact, has marked the return, or rather the rebirth, of a notion that was once thought to be obsolete, unsuitable and even dangerous: that of sovereignty. In the space of a few months, the issue has once again become central. But an anachronistic vocabulary tends to overshadow what is really at stake: not the withdrawal of nations into themselves, but the pursuit of balanced regulation of globalization.
The country that has been called the first of democracies, the one whose merits and vigor have been praised for so long, now seems to be out of breath. The chaotic «debate» between Joe Biden and Donald Trump bears witness to this.

It is up to American society as a whole to deal with the evil that is eating away at it: rampant polarization.
«The Shoah inscribed a decisive crisis at the heart of the 20th century, marking it irrevocably. Cinema was the art of the 20th century», writes Jean-Michel Frodon. So it's easy to see why the seventh art form is an essential part of today's reflection on the Holocaust. Each film on the subject brings with it controversy and debate, but it also casts a new light on the unfathomable mystery of the Shoah, the annihilation of man by man. So what is the strong link between cinema and the Shoah? And how do films illustrate or condition a singular relationship to the event in question?
At a time when Africa is still experiencing record levels of poverty, a different future could be emerging. Often torn between confidence and pessimism, the international community must realize the limits of its action and redirect it towards other priorities.
Le puritanisme n'en finit pas de s'étendre.
A continent that cannot be summed up
Le polémiste condamné pour antisémitisme, désormais poursuivi pour racisme, est-il vraiment le penseur type d’ultra-droite? N’y a-t-il pas aussi un peu de gauche dans son brouet? Des enjeux pour la définition des extrêmes, à l’heure d’un progressisme aux accents parfois totalitaires.
