When we saw, for example, the Spiritual Council of Donald Trump, praying for the angels, that definitely cannot happen in France.

That's Laicity. Licity forbids politician to play too much

The pandemic is back.

And while the midterm outlook is looking increasingly optimistic, while it is now clear that we will eventually have a vaccine that will be safe and effective.

There's many months to go until that saves us.

So it is as important now as it was in March and April,
