L’ennui avec les « parenthèses enchantées » est qu’elles finissent par se refermer. Jamais la question du handicap, largement occultée en France, ne s’était trouvée si puissamment exposée que durant les Jeux paralympiques de Paris 2024. Douze jours durant, le pays a vibré au spectacle formidable de ces athlètes pas comme les autres venus des cinq continents, rivalisant de force, d’habileté, de sens stratégique et de courage. Dans une société où le handicap reste trop souvent synonyme de « déficience », il a été pour une fois associé à une réjouissance collective nationale et à des performances hors norme. Alexis Hanquinquant, double médaillé d’or paralympique de triathlon et porte-drapeau de la délégation française, n’a pas été le seul à saluer « une prise de cons...

Les Jeux olympiques et paralympiques (JOP) de 2024 ont été un succès à tout point de vue, y compris dans leur dimension sociale. Loin des accusations de « nettoyage social », l’action coordonnée entre l’Etat déconcentré, les collectivités locales et les associations a permis de mettre à l’abri de nombreux sans-domicile. Un travail considérable d’anticipation a été réalisé pour les personnes venant se doucher, se restaurer ou bénéficier d’un accompagnement social dans les centres d’accueil de jour. Avec de la volonté et des moyens, nous pouvons relever collectivement des défis immenses dès lors que l’on anticipe et que l’on agit avec humanité. Cette parenthèse enchantée de l’action publique ne doit pas masquer une réalité beaucoup plus préoccupante pour le...

Actor James McAvoy has an eerie talent for portraying strange, yet captivating characters.His role in M Night Shyamalan's 2016 film Split garnered rave reviews from fans upon its release so watching his new thriller Speak No Evil for the first time at ComicCon with an audience was the obvious choice.

Le procès des viols de Mazan jette une lumière nouvelle sur la notion de soumission chimique dans les affaires de crimes sexuels. Dominique Pelicot est accusé d’avoir administré à sa conjointe des anxiolytiques, prescrits par son médecin généraliste, afin de la violer et de la faire violer par d’autres hommes – dont 51 sont mis en cause pour ce procès.

Elle entre dans la catégorie des Drug Facilitated Crimes (DFC), les crimes facilités par le recours à des substances psychoactives, définie en médecine légale au niveau international.
