The Cahuzac affair: an A-Z of Mediapart's exclusive investigations and analysis

How it all began, and how it all ended: Mediapart's first report revealing how French budget minister Jérôme Cahuzac, while leading a crackdown on tax fraud, had for many years held a secret bank account in Switzerland which was then transferred to Singapore, was published on December 4th 2012. After months of denials and lies before Parliament and the press, Cahuzac finally confessed to holding a foreign bank account on April 2nd, vindicating Mediapart's series of investigative reports, which are presented here.

Éducation et enseignement supérieur — Interview

Bernard Lahire : « Le système éducatif tout entier fonctionne à l’envers »

Le sociologue publie une critique virulente du système scolaire et pointe du doigt les « destructeurs » de l’enseignement supérieur et de la recherche. Un livre en forme d’alerte, sur notre capacité à produire la science nécessaire pour affronter les défis climatiques, économiques et démocratiques de demain.

Budget : les éditorialistes prennent la roue de Bayrou

Depuis l’annonce du vote de confiance, pas un jour ne passe sans que le premier ministre ne prenne la parole dans les médias. Une stratégie, usée jusqu’à la corde, destinée à installer son récit de la crise politique. Et ça marche, puisque les éditocrates semblent largement partager son catastrophisme sur l’état des finances publiques.

« Violences urbaines » : l’Intérieur veut (encore) écarter les journalistes

Dans un « guide pratique » diffusé au cœur de l’été, le ministère de l’intérieur résume ce qu’il attend des policiers en cas d’émeutes. Et témoigne une nouvelle fois de son mépris pour le travail de la presse, avant de rétropédaler.

L’insoumission s’arrête aux frontières de la Chine

La députée insoumise Sophia Chikirou s’est à nouveau distinguée par des prises de position prochinoises. La fascination pour le régime de Pékin se paie par l’oubli des peuples et une complaisance avec des puissances qui ne sont nullement une alternative à l’ordre inégalitaire du monde.
