  • By JUAN BRANCO
    CREPUSCULE By JUAN BRANCO 1 Foreword, by DENIS ROBERT1 It was early November 2018 when the French President completed his remembrance tour with a visit to Pont-à-Mousson, on the Moselle river. He was to close a conference, using English loanwords to “make up” the future world as he saw it: Choose France Grand Est. I have a friend there who is a doctor. I suspect he might have voted for Emmanuel Macron in both rounds of the presidential election. Let’s be perfectly honest, I did the same in the second round, without any qualms whatsoever. This friend of mine, who I suspect always votes for the right wing, sent me a long e-mail message a few days later with ten or so instructive photographs attached. It was as though a lethal gas had wiped out an entire town. Not a single inhabitant of Pont-à-Mousson was in the streets. Place Duroc was completely shut off to the population. The same was true for Prémontrés abbey where the five hundred conference attendees, elected officials and leaders, hand-picked, searched and wearing ties, were penned in. That afternoon, it was as if the town was anaesthetized. The people had been sidelined. There was not a soul around, no free citizen in a radius of approximately 500 meters around Emmanuel Macron. Nothing but metal barriers, rural police forces and anti-riot police waiting in dozens of coaches parked along the river banks. Television that evening, and newspapers the day after, noted the success of the presidential visit, but failed to report the sidelining of the unwelcome common people.

  • The Official Journal of France's United Jewish Appeal
    In a special 50 year anniversary edition of a "New Community," the official journal of France's United Jewish Appeal (Appel Unifié Juif de France -AUJF), Ariel Goldmann interviews Patrick Kron on behalf of the Circle of Abravanel, a select committee reserved for French Jewish business elites. (David de Rothschild is profiled separately in the edition) Kron is introduced as the son of Polish Jews, a brilliant captain of industry, whose clash with Arnaud Montebourg over Alstom's pillaging by GE, is the stuff of history. As Ariel relates: "listening to Kron tell the story of this armed struggle is a feast, but first, tell us how a minyan nearly collapsed the price of Alstom stock?" "It was Shavuot, I was on my way to meeting some important investors Place Vendôme, and I made the mistake of wishing a happy holiday to two yarmulke-clad youth in passing. Before I knew it, they dragged me to a near-by building to constitute a minyan, and 45 minutes later I found my investors and coworkers a bit perplexed… None of which was in vain. "I know you" said the Grand rabbi of France, Haim Korsia, the day I received my Legion of Honor, "thanks to you, a minyan came together". Speaking of a minyan, France's Shoa Foundation is where Kron and Goldmann make one up together permanently. Kron is the Foundation's Treasurer. David de Rothschild is its president. Government Ministers sit on the Foundation's board: Minister of Education, Minister of the Interior, Minister of Social Affairs and Heath, Minister of Culture, alongside representatives from the French Court of Appeals and the Court of Audit.
