Text description provided by the architects. In these times of sustainable development and fostering heritage, the city of Montigny-lès-Metz decided to rehabilitate and extend the pool It was a complex combining around of a common lobby apartment keeper and upstairs restaurant school This building was installed bracket along the public domain in the North East and South. Is bordering the square Pierre de Coubertin and opened to South West on a large tile occupied by a sports pool 50x20 meters, a diving pool of 12,5x12,5 meters and a pond playful 10x12,5 meter itself light overlooking a large space leafy green. The pool of Montigny-lès-Metz was designed by the architect Jean Bigard in 1969. SectionThe sheltered courtyard, is itself centered on the complex, and gives to it a strong signal to identify at a glance the main entrance: a portico sheltered from the forecourt to the entrance of the school allows both to provide a sheltered waiting area, but also to create buffer with locker rooms, a patio here used to filter views from the parking lot. The project offers an outdoor 10x20 meters’ pool in stainless steel taking place in a part of the grip of the former 50-meter pool. still the imprint device with a set of benches treated rough

cross-border trains between France and Luxembourg.  The majority of the work will take place in and around the city of Metz (Moselle) as well as on lines that travel up to the Luxembourg border French state rail operator SNCF announced repair works to rail bridges and tracks around the city as well as further construction of a major maintenance site for the operator at Montigny-lès-Metz The maintenance site should be operational in the first quarter of 2026 with construction continuing throughout 2025 there will be works focusing on the extension of the ‘Centralised Network Control’ in Thionville to stations in Zoufftgen and Apach (on the Luxembourg border) Much of the work will be carried out at night particularly the maintenance work to rail infrastructure minimising impact on travellers and commuters.  will take place between 21:30 and 05:30 in July and August including from the Luxembourg rail operator A full list of when the work is set to be carried out can be found in this PDF from the regional transport authority The exact services set to be disrupted have not yet been announced, however people frequently travelling in the affected area should check journey schedules close to the time of travel, via the official SNCFConnect website.  The SNCF is carrying out a series of major projects in 2025 which will impact passengers across France Read more: Train

on Monday according to local emergency services and news reports in the Lorraine region An autopsy later confirmed that the victim was violently murdered in his home It is currently believed that the murder took place a few days before the body was discovered After not hearing any news from the man in several days a friend alerted emergency services out of concern The Metz public prosecutor's office has since opened a judicial investigation into the murder As the victim's apartment showed no signs of forced entry authorities believe that the victim must have known the killer there is an “urgent need” to make progress on cross-border cooperation projects to improve the mobility of cross-border workers The Grand Est Region and the Luxembourg ministry of mobility detailed the major deadlines for projects relating to cross-border mobility While more and more French people are crossing the border to work and the growing number of projects should make it possible to make up some of the lost ground by 2030-2035 “tens of thousands of motorists are paying the price today for the botched A32 project.” And on the railways “the network has hardly changed for 40 or 50 years.” A large number of elected representatives were in Montigny-les-Metz on Wednesday for the opening of the “Maison du Projet,” and some of them took a critical look at the policies pursued in the past the situation is clear: faced with an ever-increasing flow of cross-border workers with 120,000 French workers crossing the border every day and a 21% increase in passengers on Metz-Luxembourg trains the slower development of infrastructure is causing the service to operate at just-in-time The number of seats at peak times is still 9,000 The number of passengers on the Nancy-Metz-Luxembourg line has risen considerably in five years under the Franco-Luxembourg memorandums of understanding with funding split 50/50 between the two countries there is a real urgency to move forward on concrete projects Cooperation between our two countries is essential to improve the movement of French cross-border commuters One in four jobs in Luxembourg is held by a French cross-border commuter,” said mobility minister (DP) who had travelled to France to visit the maintenance centre at Montigny-les-Metz A landmark project for the Metz metropolitan area it is also one of the key elements in the public authorities’ ambitions to improve cross-border mobility It will be used to provide maintenance for the region’s trains and should be operational by the end of 2026-beginning of 2027 the project has been delayed “due to the historic nature of the site,” explains the president of the Grand Est regional council Other projects are progressing a little more quickly will open in the spring and be inaugurated in June Uckange and Hagondange stations have already been lengthened to accommodate longer trains (which are not yet in service) Other projects are not yet included in the timetable but are being studied such as the creation of a freight lock at the border the widening of the A31 between Thionville and Luxembourg the creation of a high service level bus between Esch and Audun-le-Tiche the creation of a fast tram between the capital and Esch the creation of a P+R at Dudelange and the removal of level crossings on the railway lines Here is a detailed timetable of projects to improve cross-border mobility Because not all cross-border commuters come from metropolitan Metz or Thionville the strategy of the two countries also aims to take into account other lines and offer new possibilities for mobility towards Luxembourg The Longwy-Luxembourg link has been strengthened since December with two additional return trips every day Two return trips previously limited to Rodange have now been extended to Luxembourg City This increase means that there are now 17 return trips per week on this route The route of the RGTR 551 bus line between Thionville and Foetz via Audun and Belval has been optimised the region will be deploying a dozen “fluorescent bicycles” at a number of stations (Hettange This new service is in line with the future metropolitan regional express service (Serm which should not be seen as a mode of transport in its own right but as a multimodal service for the whole region “We are still waiting for financing solutions The Serm trajectory has been adopted for the Metz-Luxembourg link,” confirmed Franck Leroy “Serm’s ambitions and a governance model still need to be defined.” France’s transport minister is expected to provide some answers in the spring the public enquiry into the A31 bis project is due to be launched the [French] transport minister approved the development plan for route F4 and confirmed the decision to award a concession for the motorway from the Richemont triangle to the Luxembourg border we also held consultations to harmonise the town planning documents of the seven municipalities whose local town planning plans did not include any roads will be to obtain a declaration of public interest at the end of 2026 after which the concessionaire will be chosen and will then award contracts to public works companies The motorway will complement everything that is being done on the railway which alone is not enough to allow the daily transit of all the cross-border commuters and also all the international transit,” explained the prefect of Moselle Mobility minister Yuriko Backes (DP) spoke with the president of the Grand Est Region Franck Leroy (centre) and the prefect of Moselle discussions are under way on the introduction of cross-border express road lines and high service level transport (HSLT) routes in the north of Lorraine We are actively convinced that lines dedicated to carpooling and express coaches give more than convincing results Examples from all over the world show this,” added Leroy “This is a strategic project for the future of mobility in our cross-border region The widening of the A3 between the Croix de Gasperich and the French border is really intended to give priority to public transport and car sharing,” said Backes Between the Croix de Gasperich and the Berchem area the final work on installing the signalling gantries is scheduled for the end of this year “We will be able to open the first strategic section very soon We will give more details soon,” she added Work on widening and rehabilitating the Livange viaduct is scheduled for completion before this year’s summer holidays Work on the construction of the retention basin at Bettembourg and the cycle and pedestrian bridge will start in September and May respectively Work on widening the A3 at the Livange interchange is scheduled to start in September this year the Grand Est Region plans to increase capacity to 13,500 seats from the current 9,000 it will have to increase the number of trainsets the first Normandy trains acquired by the region should be able to run with a total capacity of 1,000 seats per train These trains will be able to run in triple formation which should make it possible to achieve the target set by the region and to offer 50% more seats by the end of this first phase the construction of the new maintenance centre at Montigny-les-Metz needs to be completed and connected to the network That’s a €105m project co-financed by the two countries Work will also continue on extending the platforms Work on the Montigny-les-Metz maintenance centre should be completed by the end of 2026 It will also be necessary to refurbish the existing trains “This is more than just ordinary maintenance it’s a real refurbishment and modernisation The aim is to restore this rolling stock to its full operating potential for the next 15-20 years,” said Leroy Renovation and maintenance work has already begun but we are bringing forward the entry into service to mid-2027,” Backes was delighted to announce This development will also involve modernising and adapting Bettembourg station (scheduled for 2029) which will be the subject of a funding bill tabled in the course of 2025 a new track plan to resolve the difficulties caused by trains crossing and a new bus station with more capacity for buses and protection against bad weather The new Bettembourg station will eventually become the second most important rail interchange in Luxembourg and will also incorporate accessibility for cyclists,” said Luxembourg’s mobility minister which took over management of the A31 on 1 January plans to introduce an eco-tax for heavy goods vehicles over 3.5 tonnes the aim is to undertake a major modernisation plan Our aim is to move from a dual two-lane carriageway to a dual three-lane carriageway This will involve taxing transit traffic so that we can have an infrastructure with greater capacity and greater safety without increasing the burden on the taxpayer,” said the president of the region The region plans to introduce a charge for heavy goods vehicles to finance new projects on the routes it now manages train capacity at peak times should have increased to 22,500 seats Is this too long a timescale for cross-border commuters which would inevitably extend the duration of the works We have technical constraints in terms of safety and signalling The objective for 2030 is to have a train between Thionville and Luxembourg every 7 or 7.5 minutes bearing in mind that TGVs and freight trains will pass between these TER trains,” Leroy explained in detail The year 2030 should also mark the end of the titanic work to make the A3 2x3 lanes on the Luxembourg side between the Croix de Gasperich and the border 2030 should also mark thestart of work on the A31 bis for at least five years The region and the Luxembourg ministry are working on the creation of multimodal interchange hubs as part of the metropolitan regional express service Projects are currently being analysed at Hettange-Grande where the existing car park will be extended The south car park could be redeveloped as a multimodal hub a project to develop parking capacity is also underway 100 parking spaces could be created to complement a multimodal interchange on rue de Boussange the new Director of the Pompidou Center-Metz (which was inaugurated in May 2010) responds to Callu on the level of achieved results Le Bon has headed up an unprecedented experiment–one Picon would perhaps have approved of–that follows in the wake of what French President Georges Pompidou attempted and succeeded in imposing for Paris in 1977 The new Metz Museum is said to be the inspired sequel to the interdisciplinary Center that arose on the Beaubourg plain in Paris the atmosphere of the two projects is not the same and history required that it be begun anew in partnership with various local and regional authorities The Metz version is also served by an architectural design that is transparent and user-friendly; inside and outside are brought into relation with each other is necessarily altered by this architectural presence which is open to a visiting public that is itself in the process of construction and that goes far beyond the limit of regular visitors to cultural

lighting as well as tracks into which spotlights can be plugged and flexibility are factors that serve to facilitate the visitor’s encounter with the works themselves Playing on the relationship between inside and outside the spaces are arranged around a hexagonal tower that reaches the height of 77 meters–an allusion to the year the Pompidou Center opened in Paris (1977) This tower houses elevators that allow panoramic views as well as the main staircase The facades of the Forum are fitted with transparent retractable panels 6 meters in height that permit good ventilation and allow one

political system is increasingly hard to sell to societies Stranded in a no-man’s-land between a federal state and a confederation today’s EU features neither sound democracy the postwar European project was caught in an ambiguity that still plagues it today saw the project with their planners’ eyes as a “top-down” political enterprise A new Europe had to be constructed with the ultimate goal of making it a federation Monnet’s European Coal and Steel Community plan was just a practical start toward a supranational entity instead felt that a European entity (and identity) would only gradually emerge in a “bottom-up” fashion from the liberalization of economic relations between nation states and only after a long confederation phase.  Small wonder that more and more Europeans are growing weary of the project – which does not mean that they are necessarily anti-European.  Fiscal competition in a federalist system helps rationalize public spending such a European project would increasingly look like a big France and strip it of federalist advantages One virtue of a genuine federalist system with a limited central government and decentralized states or regional governments (a la Switzerland) is that it enables institutional diversity sorts out better institutional solutions.  such a system helps mitigate the central government’s “majority tyranny,” hence has strong democratic credentials such as deficit bans or “golden rules,” can play such a role as well Fiscal competition through a federalist system is a proven instrument for rationalizing public spending.  vested interests can lobby politicians and bureaucrats to extract rents (subsidies protections) that generate substantial benefits for these small have no power to counter the trend – especially as each rent cost is almost painlessly spread over millions of individual taxpayers The incentives of the two groups are different.  “political markets” in such a monopoly context usually lead to dysfunctional management of public money and regulation Brussels’ increasing centralization of spending decisions and its centralization and harmonization of regulation is a case in point mimic market competition at the political level In a genuine federal system with states in competition citizens have an exit option and can thus vote with their feet they can compare the costs (taxes) and benefits of the services provided by producers Competition among states helps reveal citizens’ preferences and local governments’ best practices to reduce public spending and minimize present and future taxation.  the smaller size of jurisdictions not only makes it easier for citizen-taxpayers to use their exit option; their “voice” option (their vote) is more effective which increases accountability and democracy And the more numerous decentralized governments – the more fragmented the system is – the better for competition as this reduces citizens’ potential exit costs increases exit opportunities for them and makes it more costly for politicians from various regions to collude to reduce competitive pressure on themselves there is one critical condition for a system of decentralized states to work its wonders on public spending: fiscally autonomous regional states that the subsidiarity principle should apply: most issues should be dealt with at the lowest possible governance level and only when this cannot be the case should the central government be involved (issues such as national security This also entails that the fiscal autonomy of decentralized entities should exist with the freedom to tax and spend – a crucial element when trying to assess the prospects of federalism in Europe.  The EU Commission has been expanding its unaccountable power In so-called federal countries such as Argentina or “decentralized” countries without genuine local autonomy or subsidiarity the federalist logic is distorted by systems of fiscal equalization between regional governments and/or redistribution through grants from the central government This undermines the virtuous mechanism of genuine federalism as well as weaker checks on governance and public spending as local politicians are encouraged to spend as much as possible with taxpayer money The subtle link between taxes paid and public services received at the local level can be severed some feel they pay too much; others that they don’t get enough a “shield effect” is gradually taking place: local politicians blame the central authorities for things that go wrong Responsibility and accountability are weakened Tensions and mistrust are created between local populations and the remote authority Recent votes in Europe tend to show people are wary of these outcomes.  the competition – supposedly bringing fiscal discipline and institutional diversity – between decentralized governance entities is broken So is the sound division of power between the top (central government) and the bottom (decentralized states) While the federalist mechanism is supposed to limit the powers of both levels of governance It sets the conditions for its growth: the EU Commission has been expanding its unaccountable power while the democratic semblance of the EU Parliament is joining in the push for more centralization and harmonization.  The EU’s system is increasingly hard to sell to populations Another problem is that federalism implies the idea of a nation at the federal level as sovereignty is transferred to it (unlike in confederation projects) Even though there is an undeniable feeling of Europeanness in our part of the world it is still hard to see any “European nation” today Despite European flags and Erasmus programs each European nation essentially teaches its national history celebrates its national holidays and commemorations the European narrative is added as if it were an appendix.  in reaction to the imperial designs of Napoleon I in the 1800s and 1810s; then to the French-Prussian War masterly provoked in 1870 by Otto von Bismarck (chancellor of the German Empire from 1871 to 1890); and to the lopsided Treaty of Versailles of 1919 The threat from a common enemy was instrumentalized to reinforce the nationalist sentiment of the German people The Swiss federation also evolved from a confederation based on treaties of mutual protection against common external threats (The Swiss example also reminds us that a common language or religion is not a precondition for a nation.) no serious common external threat is pushing toward unification (which is The fear stems from Europe’s past of frequent and bloody wars – the reason why federalists are pushing for a federal Europe without a shared sense of belonging to a European nation (however artificial that may be) it seems hard for Europe’s nation-states to relinquish sovereignty even attempts at the partial delegation of sovereignty to the supranational entity can be perceived as illegitimate and undemocratic when solutions are imposed on populations against the results of referenda (like the Maastricht or Lisbon treaties in France’s case).  The feeling of Europeanness has been further weakened by the EU’s collectivist has created tensions among Europeans because the very design of such mechanisms provides skewed incentives to living off other people’s money This breeds acrimony and mistrust rather than “solidarity” and is hardly a way to nurture a shared national sentiment No wonder former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher (1979-1990) an “anti-federalist Europhile,” could once say “I want my money back” or that Chancellor Angela Merkel’s Germany has resisted all attempts at socialization of debts and risks since the euro crisis The creation of the EU Parliament could have given a sense of more accountability but many see it as weak in comparison to the EU Commission.  The single currency project itself was another path toward forced federalization Politicized from the beginning (the French did not want a superpowerful deutsch mark after the German reunification) the euro was built on a compromise with the very theory that was supposed to underly it Economist Robert Mundell’s “optimal currency region” (OCR) theory lists conditions for a successful currency that have not been met: factor mobility was hindered by linguistic barriers; market flexibility in some countries (e.g., Greece) was quite problematic; and a central transfer system to mitigate asymmetric regional exogenous shocks was nonexistent.  The instrument of forced federalism frequently turns poisonous Leaders came to a compromise on the transfer system: that fiscal discipline should do the job. However, the Germans and the French were the first ones to flout this compromise The Greek and then European tragedies that followed were practically inevitable given the single currency users’ lack of respect for its essential rules the instrument of forced federalism turned poisonous federalists want to remedy the problem of the transfers with a common budget.) One is a return to a more modest-scope project do not want a France-like Europe that would stifle their economic dynamism But the pressure to go in that direction would be intense in Brussels and Paris.  The trend in the last EU elections indicates such ideas may receive some popular support This could not mean the end of everything for the integration project some nations within the continent but outside the EU trade freely and peacefully through the European Free Trade Association the process purposefully made harder by the EU (to discourage future desertions).  Finally, despite the recent shift in the Parliament with euroskeptics’ success, a continuation of business-as-usual seems most probable in the short term. The potential for fiscal crises, however, in Italy for example, should not be underestimated, especially with the recent slowdown in regional and global growth.

Elias B., Karim L. et Henni B. sont arrêtés. Ils ont été mis en examen et écroués jeudi les auditions ont révélé que le quatuor préparait un braquage et non un attentat Le périple meurtrier du tireur minute par minute Les résultats des perquisitions des gendarmes à son domicile font aujourd'hui l'objet d'un nouvel examen à l'aune de l'attentat Une « procédure incidente » a été transmise à la section antiterroriste du parquet de Paris un homme enkysté dans la délinquance mais aussi suivi pour radicalisation des policiers des services de renseignement étaient présents en observateurs lors de la perquisition La DGSI l'avait en effet surveillé pendant « dix-huit mois » selon une source proche du dossier d'autant plus qu'aucun signe de basculement dans le terrorisme n'avait été détecté aucun serment d'allégeance à l'organisation terroriste n'est trouvé en perquisition Même si l'organisation terroriste a revendiqué l'attentat jeudi soir après la mort de Chekatt.

L'essayiste de 72 ans a condamné une « action littéralement contraire à tout ce qu'(il a) toujours soutenu ». « Je ne saurais trop la condamner », a-t-il précisé. Crime story raconte chaque semaine les grandes affaires criminelles. « Moi, je suis absolument non-violent », a affirmé l'écrivain, qui a été condamné en 2015 pour provocation à la haine ou à la violence contre les musulmans. « Au centre de ma réflexion, il y a ce concept de l'innocence, c'est-à-dire de la non-nuisance, de la non-violence », a-t-il répété auprès de l'AFP. Celui qui appartient au SIEL (Souveraineté, identité et libertés), parti d'abord souverainiste puis de plus en plus proche des milieux identitaires, renvoie l'usage de la violence aux « autres ». « Ce qui m'inquiète le plus dans ce que j'appelle le grand remplacement, c'est précisément à quel point il est favorable à la violence et à tous les degrés de violence que ce soit dans la vie quotidienne la plus simple, soit, évidemment, dans les attentats terroristes », a-t-il aussi commenté. Interrogé sur les motivations du principal suspect de l'attaque - qui a affirmé dans un manifeste de 74 pages intitulé « Le grand remplacement » avoir été inspiré par ses voyages en Europe et notamment en France -, Renaud Camus soutient que le jeune Australien a pu être inspiré « par des gestes tels qu'ils ont été perpétrés sur le sol national depuis quatre ou cinq ans ». « Ce qui ressemble le plus à son crime, ce sont les attentats terroristes qui ont été commis en France », commente-t-il. « Je ne vois pourquoi il serait plus inspiré par moi que par des actions qui ressemblent directement à celle qu'il a commise », s'est défendu l'écrivain.
