President of Rassemblement National parliamentary group Marine Le Pen looks on as she arrives to take part in a rally in her support after she was convicted of a fake jobs scheme at the EU parliament JULIEN DE ROSA / AFP A French court on Wednesday handed down an eight-month suspended sentence to a 76-year-old man over a death threat against the judge who convicted far-right leader Marine Le Pen Last week Le Pen was given a partly suspended jail term a fine of €100,000 and an immediate ban on taking part in elections for five years after being convicted for a scheme under which the EU parliament paid assistants who were actually working for her party The bombshell ruling could crush the 56-year-old's dream of winning the French presidency in 2027 a pensioner from the town of La Garenne-Colombes outside Paris posted a message on X with a photo of a guillotine accompanied by the words: "What this bitch deserves." On Wednesday he was found guilty of contempt and incitement to murder who was born in French-ruled Algeria in 1948 and who arrived in France at the age of 14 tried to convince the court that his message did not constitute a form of threat The supporter of the far-right said the photo of the guillotine was for him "a symbol of justice and I wanted to say that some magistrates perhaps deserve to be judged." During the investigation attributed the message to "anger" and maintained that one can "say anything" on social networks "In France, there are people who have had their heads cut off," said the prosecutor, in apparent reference to teacher Samuel Paty who was beheaded by an Islamist militant outside Paris in 2020 after showing his class cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed but it is a temptation for violent people or those with mental health problems." The defense lawyer countered that "we are not dealing with an account with thousands of followers" adding that the "impact of his comments is almost zero."

All rights reserved Very little happens in Dominique Fabre’s books and what does happen is rather unexciting yet one keeps on reading because his depiction of ordinary human beings caught up in the routines and minor mishaps of daily life so genuinely reflects the lives that most of us lead Guys Like Me by Dominique Fabre Des nuages et des tours by Dominique Fabre Open any of his novels and it can be heard soliciting one’s attention but rarely revealing innermost thoughts entirely This latter quality especially creates the touching quality of his writing as well as its low-key suspense Very little happens in his books and what happens is rather unexciting I cannot help but think of Henri Calet (1904-1956) with whose novels about working-class Paris Fabre’s own novels set in the French capital have affinities whenever feelings start brimming over in Fabre’s novel Les Types comme moi (2007) now engagingly rendered into French by Howard Curtis he inserts the phrase “Do you mind if I pull down the curtain?” Guys Like Me tells the story of three middle-aged friends This suburb is neither one of the impoverished unemployment-ravaged districts found in other outskirts of the metropolis; nor is it similar to the ritzy residential suburbs also located west of Paris but further to the south from La Garenne-Colombes Fabre describes an area with no particular reputation whatsoever now-rundown apartment buildings where the three men had been brought up are going to be razed Since their childhood in La Garenne-Colombes and the narrator is slowly but surely (more slowly than surely) getting involved with Marie a woman whom he has met by chance on an online dating website increasing seriousness when she is diagnosed with breast cancer Questions about attachment and responsibility take shape and the man and the woman cannot avoid responding to them they start coming face to face with each other but again has an office job that mostly suits him who is now in his twenties and to whom he is attached because his career is stagnating in France will eventually emigrate to Switzerland to work in a laboratory in Zürich The “brain drain” and other socioeconomic issues currently debated in France are woven into the plot after flings and short-lived relationships somehow relieved to be a bachelor and dissatisfied at being deprived of companionship “I don’t trust my emotions,” he admits at one point all mixed up.” If he secretly yearns for something He has long quietly aspired to buy a motor scooter by presenting him with an amusing and poignant little gift which also comprises the narrator’s relationship to his own father (whom as it does in several other novels by Fabre Hesitation and haplessness define the “guys like me” with whom the narrator identifies They are moderate losers and average has-beens and ordinary daydreamers all at once the title of the novel also provides a recurrent phrase When the narrator meets Marie for the first time in a café on the rue de la Chaussée d’Antin he characteristically uses the phrase to generalize upon his own predicament: These disparate stylistic elements thus form a complex literary mix yet the diction remains close to the spoken language both in so-called objective reality and in the narrator’s mind both as the scene unfolds (in a “present” recounted in the past tense) and as the narrator looks back on the same scene from another “present” that corresponds to his telling of the story The abrupt shifts in time might have been confusing but they are not: I remember very well how much I wanted that I looked at myself in the mirror at the end of the room wondering if it was still possible for a woman to want to wake up in bed with a guy like me the following morning I had to remember not to let myself go when I was with her I saw she’d taken the time to touch up her lipstick Fabre often jolts time frames or perspectives like this suppressing transitions not only to liven up what is but also to mirror non-continuous flows of thought and feeling less for the social milieus that the American author dissected than for his characters grappling to get a hold on their lives While Marie is undergoing chemotherapy and wants to spend time reading between sessions the narrator lends her his collection of Fitzgerald novels: “She’d made a face at first because he was American and these days too many things in life were American Another engaging weave in this intricate novel concerns Jean Jean is out of work and vaguely looking for some kind of employment it is the narrator who encourages him to land a job which he manages to do when Marco intervenes as well His colleagues find him difficult to get along with and he isn’t really interested in working He has lived in Germany and knows the language When the narrator gives him a German translation to do as a means of supplementing his welfare checks but when he finishes the job he neglects to send in the invoice Jean is mostly a harmless burden for the two other men They put up with him; such are childhood ties Yet even as Fabre gives nuance to their personalities and especially to the narrator’s disclosing hidden weaknesses and not yet completely diminished inner resources he draws out unsuspected depth in Jean as well He has a somehow intriguing attachment to and dependency on his mother who has relocated to Marseille and is in the initial stages of Alzheimer’s for the time being (though he will eventually move to Marseille) His collection of photographs from his teenage days provokes slightly disturbing memories in Marco and the narrator (Another quotation by Henri Calet comes to mind: “The past crumbles once you stick your hand in it.”) At a dinner together who despite his laziness is actually quite loquacious Here is the narrator’s report on the couple: they were lucky and even found a little house on the hill at Puteaux at the beginning of the ‘80s and in spite of his efforts she ended up becoming tired of him she’d left him two years after the election of François Mitterrand The narrator then reflects: “He’d been telling me the life story of a guy like me but one where every episode took place between attacks of what he called his fatigue.” In fact nearly everyone in the novel suffers from some kind of “fatigue.” Yet this fatigue notwithstanding spot glimmers of reassuring outcomes at the end The reader might first think that Fabre is going to fill out Jean’s story in Photos volées (2014) The narrator of that novel is also called Jean with women different from those who were the minor characters of Guys Like Me and various “Hélènes,” one of whom is the narrator’s ex-wife and another his lawyer some of the same Parisian quarters and outlying suburbs are conjured up The Jean of Photos volées—literally “Stolen Photos”—works in an office in the Chaussée d’Antin area the firm is trying to get rid of him before the legal retirement age (60) employers must sign a “contract of unlimited duration” with their employees a tenure status that prevents them from being fired or laid off except in a few precisely defined situations Yet management sometimes contrives methods of getting elderly employees to leave on their own so that they can be replaced by young newcomers with starting salaries When the employee can no longer stand what his work environment has become he agrees to a financial settlement and resigns Such pressure is put on Jean when he is ordered to give up his office space and to update old files in the “archives.” He ends up consulting a lawyer he watches her search for his file in a big “closet behind her with probably lots of other guys like me inside men and women worn down by all the means used by life to defeat us.” There are those “guys like me” again French author Dominique Fabre — he has an artfully rambling style Photography was a minor theme in Guys Like Me Jean was an independent photographer for twenty years and during this time he did not always pay his contributions to the Social Security retirement plan He would need to work several more years in the office to catch up and acquire a suitable pension modest surprises nonetheless await him in this similarly touching tale of subdued yearning Fabre is definitely a “pedestrian of Paris,” as Léon-Paul Fargue (1876-1947) phrased it The title means “Clouds and High-Rises.” This sensitively penned personal essay mostly explores the thirteenth arrondissement much of which started becoming the Parisian “Chinatown” during the 1980s (when I was myself living there) chance meetings take place against a backdrop of everydayness And I also experienced such an encounter while reading this gently absorbing book to which I am also grateful for bringing me up to date on neighborhoods that I have not strolled through for years and sometimes decades How delighted I was when I arrived at page 88 and ran into an old friend the detective-novel writer Alain Demouzon (b It not only pays rightful tribute to Alain’s knowledge of all sorts of details—which then appear in his own mystery novels distinguished for their sensitivity and verisimilitude—but also points to the same “fragile feeling of eternity” that Fabre’s narrators most secretly I met Alain (Demouzon) below the Melville Public Multimedia Library He had debarked in the arrondissement in 1971 before the massive arrival of Cambodian and Vietnamese refugees who took over the high rises where native Frenchmen didn’t want to live He spoke to me of the Kobushi magnolia at the corner of the rue Nationale and then about the other trees in the neighborhood various prunus trees with complicated names—he can name them all He spoke to me of the municipal gardener who worked there before the one I knew His visions of the quarter could surely include a black Bentley parked in front of a bronze-colored brick apartment building Sometimes all this gives you a fragile feeling of eternity while real

Home | Sci-tech Germany’s Bayer has warned that its 2019 earnings target has become harder to reach becoming the latest agricultural supplies company to be affected by flooded US farms and trade disputes The drugs and pesticides maker said it was still aiming to lift 2019 adjusted core earnings to about 12.2 billion euros ($13.6 billion) excluding the effect of currency swings and the planned sale of assets such as its animal health unit this outlook is becoming increasingly ambitious in view of the challenging environment for the Crop Science business,” the company which last year acquired Monsanto for $63 billion the world’s largest seeds and pesticides producer jumped by almost 60% to 4.8 billion euros in the second quarter thanks to the addition of Monsanto in June 2018 But a like-for-like comparison of the combined business showed a 9.9% sales decline “Flooding and heavy rains in the midwestern United States and drought in large parts of Europe and in Canada had a negative effect On-going trade disputes also weighed on business,” it said Meanwhile the number of US plaintiffs blaming Bayer’s glyphosate-based weed killers for their cancer continued to rise by 5,000 to 18,400 as a litigation wave that has crushed the group’s market value showed no sign of letting up Its shares were down 3.4% at a one-month low at 0810 GMT for a market value of about 53 billion euros as Bayer continued to trade below the price it paid for the takeover Bernstein Research analyst Gunther Zechmann said investors would likely grow dubious of the maintained guidance Analysts at Liberum said the market continued to overestimate the pay out that Bayer will eventually settle for to buy itself out of the litigation wave “Bayer needs better news from the courts in the next 12 months Adjusted EBITDA for the group rose by about a quarter to 2.9 billion euros in the April to June period bolstered by new prescriptions of its pharma bestsellers stroke prevention drug Xarelto and eye treatment Eylea That was broadly in line with market expectations Bayer has seen its market value slashed by more than 30 billion euros since August last year found that Monsanto should have warned of the alleged cancer risks which says regulators and extensive research have found glyphosate to be safe is banking on US appeals courts to reverse or tone down the initial court rulings that have so far awarded tens of millions of dollars to each plaintiff have previously flagged issues from flooding in the US Midwest and the US-Chinese trade dispute Those factors also forced fertiliser giant Nutrien to cut its full-year profit forecast on Monday due to post its quarterly reports on August 1
