Comment A:
Voici une semaine que le site a ete lance. L’actualite de l’UE a ete assez legere. Mais les semaines qui viennent avec un renforcement des protestations contre le cout de l’energie, la presidence Francaise et ses Couacs a venir nous promettent quelques beaux articles dans la presse. Aujourd’hui, voici le Logo de la Presidence Francaise.
This website started to be published one week ago. If the week has been quiet for the EU, the next weeks will be much more interesting. Protests against the cost of Energy are rising, the French presidency of the EU and its probable controversies will bring us more interesting articles. To celebrate the first week, I give you the French logo for its presidency.
