First highly symbolic amendments voted on the draft revised Constitution: Parliament on Wednesday in committee deleted the word “race” from Article 1 and also introduced the ban on “sex discrimination” and the preservation of the environment and biodiversity.
These three amendments, voted almost unanimously each time, define the founding principles of the Republic and “shape the contours of a progressive Constitution”, said the spokesman Richard Ferrand
Ces trois modifications, votées à chaque fois à la quasi-unanimité dans l'article 1 qui définit les principes fondateurs de la République, "dessinent les contours d'une Constitution progressiste", s'est réjoui le rapporteur général Richard Ferrand (LREM).

United States of America? I don't know anymore.
The problem is we can't do much except disown Trump. Your politicians need to show how the US has lost credibility and virtually all moral authority.
Trump is only a part of the problem. The other is the GOP.
Trump is a calamity but the reason why he has managed to take over the presidency, in addition to the probable involvement of the Russians, is above all due to the GOP remaining on achievements that are completely outdated and does not want to see to what extent they are totally out of step with today's world.
It is true that they have achieved good things in the past, they have found effective solutions, but they are no longer working nowadays...
It's a like vaccinating against this year's flu with the vaccine developed for the 1985 flu!
I am amazed to see Republicans still think they can dictate their will to the world.
The Norwegian professor Johan Galtung, who had, among other things, anticipated the fall of the former USSR and the attacks of September 11, placed the total loss of US influence around 2025 because of Bush's incompetence. Initially, he was expecting +/- 2040. Last year, he lowered the deadline around 2020 due to the walking disaster Trump !
Unfortunately, it is. Europe is considering more sustained cooperation with China, among others.
Trump's latest threats are very negatively taken here, to say the least !
