Le 18 septembre 2026, Emmanuel Macron a réuni à l'Élysée les candidats à la présidentielle et les chefs de partis pour les informer d'une intensification des attaques hybrides russes, notamment par drones et cyber, et annoncé un plan de protection des infrastructures critiques. Les déclarations du président, relayées par Le Monde et de nombreuses sources crédibles, s'appuient sur des incidents récents comme l'attaque de drone à Leipzig en août 2026, attribuée par l'Allemagne à la Russie, sans que des preuves publiques détaillées supplémentaires aient été divulguées.

La présidente de la Commission européenne Ursula von der Leyen a suggéré le 16 septembre 2026, lors de son discours sur l’état de l’Union, que le Canada devienne le premier « membre associé » de l’UE, un statut qui n’existe pas dans les traités actuels. Donald Trump a réagi en qualifiant l’idée de « ridicule » et en menaçant l’UE de tarifs sévères ou d’une rupture partielle des échanges commerciaux si elle est perçue comme un acte hostile.

PS deputy for Eure Philippe Brun has been provisionally suspended from the party and excluded from the social-democratic primary for the 2027 presidential election, following a late report by a former parliamentary assistant accusing him of harassment, physical violence and employing a family member. These allegations, brought to the attention of the PS leadership on the evening of 15 September, have not been the subject of a confirmed criminal complaint to date, while the elected official denies the facts and accuses his party of political instrumentalisation.

L'enquête de franceinfo affirme que le Rassemblement national a été informé dès janvier 2024 de graves irrégularités présumées commises par le député RN de l'Aisne José Beaurain, notamment des demandes de reversement de primes en espèces et des contournements d'emplois familiaux. Plusieurs témoignages concordants et recoupés par d'autres médias établissent l'existence d'alertes remontées jusqu'à la direction du groupe parlementaire RN, mais le parti a réinvesti l'élu pour les législatives de 2024 et les municipales de 2026. Les accusations reposent sur des témoignages d'anciens assistants et font l'objet d'une enquête du déontologue de l'Assemblée, tandis que le député nie fermement et annonce des plaintes en diffamation.

The AfD won an unprecedented victory in the Saxony-Anhalt regional elections on September 6, 2026, with around 43.8% of the vote, far ahead of the CDU. The French Rassemblement National did not celebrate this result, citing “red lines” crossed by the German party since their 2024 split, particularly on the history of the Second World War. The evidence confirms both the historic score and the distance displayed by the RN, while leaving open the questions of government formation and strategic interests.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky did indeed raise, in an interview with Axios on September 7, 2026, the possibility of “de-escalation” this winter in the war in Ukraine, stating that Russia had signaled to Donald Trump’s envoys its willingness to begin negotiations. These remarks, widely picked up by the international press including franceinfo, faithfully match the content of the interview, but remain conditioned by Kyiv’s skepticism toward Russian military actions and by the absence of detailed confirmation on the Russian side.

The franceinfo article of September 8, 2026 states that with 43.8% of the vote, the AfD won a historic victory in Saxony-Anhalt on September 6, a signal of a change in European society and a source of inspiration for other far-right movements, while the French RN keeps its distance. The official provisional results confirm the score and the unprecedented nature of the success, but the AfD does not have an absolute majority and the formation of a government remains open; the quotation on “change” is an analysis by a researcher, not a raw fact.

The president of the CNC, Gaëtan Bruel, did indeed announce on September 7, 2026 on France Inter the creation of a global structure named IRIS to support movie theaters, particularly in crisis zones. A fundraising of approximately 30 million euros is to finance this scheme, with a contribution from the French State of 10 to 15%, as part of the Lumière Summit in Saint-Paul-de-Vence. The information is confirmed by Radio France reports, with no denial or major contradiction at this stage, even if the operational details remain to be clarified.

The provisional results of 6 September 2026 confirm a historic victory for the AfD in Saxony-Anhalt with 43.8% of the vote and 39 seats out of 83, without reaching the absolute majority of 42. Ulrich Siegmund, lead candidate, called on forces ready for a “political turning point” to cooperate, while ruling out a minority government and threatening new elections, which broadly corresponds to the live headlines from Le Monde and the analyses from franceinfo or Courrier international.

The franceinfo article of September 4, 2026 compiles reader testimonies who, after an exceptionally hot summer, are considering or undertaking moves, installing air conditioning or greening their homes. The weather facts put forward are confirmed by Météo-France and multiple press sources: summer 2026 was indeed the hottest ever measured in France. The individual behaviors described fit into a broader trend observed by surveys and reports, even if the exact scale of the decisions remains difficult to quantify at the national level.

Louis Aliot’s remarks suggesting cutting off the ‘tap’ of aid to Ukraine have reignited criticism of the National Rally and highlighted a difference in tone with his ally Éric Ciotti. The latter, at the UDR back-to-politics event on 5 September 2026, reaffirmed more explicit support for Ukrainian sovereignty and the necessary means, without repeating the RN vice-president’s formula. Established facts show a real friction over wording and the degree of commitment, against the backdrop of the 2027 presidential campaign and recurring accusations of RN ambiguity toward Russia, without for now breaking the alliance.
