Beloved Priest Abbe Pierre Accused Of Sexual Assault

File photo - Emmaus founder Abbe Pierre receives the 'Grande Croix' of the Legion d'Honneur from French president Jacques Chirac during a ceremony held at the Elysee palace on June 3, 2005. Legendary French priest and a life-long advocate of the homeless was accused of committing acts that would amount to “sexual assault or sexual harassment,” the international foundation he established said in a statement Wednesday. Abbe Pierre, who died in 2007, was one of France’s most beloved public figures. The founder of the international Emmaus Community for the poor, Abbe Pierre had served as France’s conscience since the 1950s, when he persuaded Parliament to pass a law, still on the books, forbidding landlords to evict tenants during winter.

(240520) -- NANNING, May 20, 2024 (Xinhua) -- Wu Xinren (R), He Yuqing and their son pose for a photo at their shop in Wuying Village on the border between south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and southwest China's Guizhou Province, June 4, 2018. In 2007, Wu Xinren, a 28-year-old Miao ethnic youth, ended his ten-year working life in a city and returned, with his 22-year-old wife He Yuqing, to his hometown Wuying Village, a Miao ethnic-minority hamlet that nestles snugly in the towering mountains stretching across the border between south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and Guizhou Province. Since then, Wu and his wife have attempted to start there a business ranging from farming, transportation to running grocery and home-stay as well as selling local specialties. Their cultural life also flourished as their business gained them a better living condition. Over the years, they have witnessed the development of the village towards rural revitalization.

Sarkozy Slammed For Call To Compromise With Russia

Sarkozy Slammed For Call To Compromise With Russia

File photo dated June 7, 2007 shows Russian President Vladimir Putin talks on the phone as French President Nicolas Sarkozy waves on their way to a meeting during the first day of talks with other leaders of G8 industrialized nations summit at Heiligendamm, Germany. France's former president Nicolas Sarkozy has stirred outrage in Kyiv and Paris by suggesting Russia's invasion of Ukraine could be ended with new referendums in occupied territories. "The Ukrainians... will want to reconquer what has been unjustly taken from them. But if they can't manage it completely, the choice will be between a frozen conflict... or taking the high road out with referendums strictly overseen by the international community," Sarkozy told conservative newspaper Le Figaro on Wednesday. Speaking particularly about the Crimean peninsula, which Russia claimed to have annexed in 2014, the former French leader said that "any return to the way things were before is an illusion".
