DOSSIER «VOUS AVEZ DIT EUROPE?», Antoine-Frédéric Bernhard | C’est une figure intellectuelle majeure du XXe siècle, un Suisse de surcroît, dont on entend très peu parler. La paresse y est sans doute pour beaucoup, puisque toute l’œuvre de Denis de Rougemont est accessible gratuitement sur internet depuis 2020, grâce au travail de plusieurs chercheurs de l’Université de Genève. Cet écrivain foisonnant a consacré une grande partie de son œuvre à l’Europe qu’il voyait écrasée entre les deux superpuissances américaine et soviétique. Dans sa Lettre ouverte aux européens de 1970 – un plaidoyer pour l’identité culturelle européenne – l’écrivain genevois défend l’idée d’un fédéralisme intégral, appuyé sur un régionalisme opposé à toute forme de nationalisme moderne. Sa réflexion sur l’unité de l’Europe s’avère plus pertinente que jamais. Bref tour d’horizon.

The vast majority of the media portrayed the result of the 2022 legislative elections in France as a defeat for re-elected President Emmanuel Macron, deprived of an absolute majority in parliament. But it's on the interpretation of what this situation means for the quinquennium that analyses diverge. Here's a selection.

An ecologist elected in Lyon is promising «gender-neutral» bike paths. He explains this by arguing that women, in particular, need more safety than men. The umpteenth autogoal in the match between the «woke» team and the allegedly macho team.
