Senegal/legislative: the presidential camp claims a victory contested by the opposition
The presidential coalition claimed victory in the parliamentary elections held Sunday in Senegal, a success contested by the opposition, which speaks of a “prefabricated majority.” “We won 30 departments” out of the 46 in Senegal and constituencies abroad. “This undoubtedly gives us a majority in the National Assembly,” the head of the presidential coalition, Aminata Touré, told the press Sunday evening.
“We gave a majority in the National Assembly to our coalition president,” Macky Sall, added Ms. Touré, without giving the number of deputies obtained by her side or specifying whether it was a relative or absolute majority. She admitted the defeat of her coalition in Dakar. An official of the coalition led by the main opponent Ousmane Sonko, Barthélémy Dias, spoke of “a vulgar lie” and of a “prefabricated majority” on the private radio RFM. “Cohabitation is inevitable. You lost this election at the national level. We will not accept it. This forfeit will not pass,” added Mr. Dias, who is also mayor of Dakar, without giving figures.

A new heatwave episode begins Monday in the south of France
35 to 39 degrees during the day, and sweltering nights: a new heatwave is expected to hit the south of France on Monday before rising north on Tuesday and Wednesday. Ardèche (07), Drôme (26), Gard (30), Pyrénées-Orientales (66) and Vaucluse (84): five departments have been placed under orange alert in southern France. They are expected to experience a “new heatwave whose intensity and duration will be less than those of the previous episode,” Meteo-France said Sunday in a bulletin. The ten other departments in the south-eastern quarter of France have been placed on yellow alert.

Purchasing power: the amending budget in the Senate with the tax on “superprofits”
The majority of the right-wing Senate will begin its first reading of the draft amending budget, the second part of measures to support purchasing power, on Monday, which will see the issue of taxing the “superprofits” of large groups again. Continuation of the energy tariff shield and the fuel discount to 30 cents per liter in September-October then 10 in November-December, increase the index point for civil servants... The amending finance bill for 2022 opens up 44 billion euros in credits, including 9.7 billion euros to finance the 100% renationalization of EDF. If the debates in the Senate are expected to be less electric than in the National Assembly, they will have to be conducted at full speed, as they are only scheduled to last two days, including the night.

Champions' Trophy: Messi and Neymar are regaling
Already very keen, Lionel Messi and Neymar gave Christophe Galtier his first title as Paris Saint-Germain coach, scoring three of the four goals to defeat Nantes (4-0) on Sunday in Tel Aviv during the Champions' Trophy. Like on their best days. A diabolical hook from “Leo” (22nd), a direct free kick (45e+3) and a penalty kick (82th) from “Ney”, the PSG stars ensured the show. And Kylian Mbappé, the third jewel, suspended, was not even there!
In sync, the world and European champion Sergio Ramos scored the third goal from a talonnade (57th). Defeated last year by Lille (1-0), right here in Tel Aviv, PSG did not miss its start of the season, after having already won its four preparation matches, including three in Japan. The French champion this time seemed ready to start Ligue 1 in Clermont on Saturday (21:00).
