The City of Lights rarely lives up to its name as well as by organizing its famous Nuit Blanche. On the occasion of the 23rd edition of the nocturnal artistic event, the Paris town hall has decided to honor the French overseas territories. On Saturday June 1, the capital will offer numerous artistic installations throughout the city, but also beyond its borders, notably in its suburbs, in Rouen (Seine-Maritime) and in Overseas Territories.
Funded to the tune of one million euros by the Paris Council, Paris 2024 and sponsorship, this free event open to all will highlight contemporary creations in emblematic Parisian places. It will also mark the longest White Night in history, since it will start where the sun rises earliest in France, in New Caledonia, and end where the sun sets latest on the ground. French, in Polynesia.
More than a hundred demonstrations in the capital
Butte Montmartre, Belleville, the Carreau du Temple… In the capital, the artistic compositions overseen by Claire Tancons, artistic director of the event, will take over several essential places through more than a hundred events. More than 150 will be held in the Greater Paris Metropolis.
Thirteen artistic projects will make up the official Parisian route. “The idea was to start it in the east of Paris, in Belleville Park, then arrive in the center with performances at the Hôtel de Ville, at the Carreau du Temple or even the historic library of Paris , to finish in the west of the capital near Square Galliera, via Montmartre,” explains Claire Tancons. A nod to the six time zones that will be crossed during this event which will extend across the planet. Here are some examples of the artistic creations to discover there.

“Everything has been thought of so that spectators can discover as many projects as possible, but you will have to be ready,” smiles Claire Tancons. The artistic director promises some nice surprises to discover between now and the big day.

Carmen Harra said, on the occasion of the Easter Holidays, what an important role fasting has in our lives.
“Fasting before the great feast is given to heal yourself, from a physical illness or a mental illness, because fasting teaches you to pray, to pay attention to the messages you receive. The Easter holidays are given to us to reevaluate our spiritual state”, said Carmen Harra.
In this context, the clairvoyant, who said who will be the new president of Romania, stated that the new Messiah was born in the year 2000, on Easter, and that he is meant to continue the Savior’s mission. She added that in 2033 it will reach Earth, at 33 years old.
“In 2033 we will enter the so-called world of enlightenment. We will enter a period of 2000 light years. In our life all the elements that existed can be produced again. Human existence goes from one cycle to another, death and rebirth. When we go with Jesus through his suffering, we feel inside, we rise, we become better. The paschal symbol is rebirth after death. We should reflect on these things at this time of our existence. It is said that we all have intuition, which is a portal to God”, mentioned Carmen Harra, who also predicted that Anamaria Prodan and Ronald Gavril will separate.
Predictions made by Gupta Swami
Carmen Harra is not the only one who spoke about the new Messiah. And the famous prophet Gupta Swami spoke about the coming of the Messiah.

Several heads of state around the world have approached Gupta Swami about what will happen in the future.
Gupta Swami predicted that the strongest political personality of the millennium will emerge from the Bucovina area, who will be the savior of mankind. Gupta Swami added that this will stop the decay of Romania and transform our country into one of the strongest states on the globe. The Indian prophet also said that under the leadership of the Bukovinian, Romania will have the greatest economic prosperity.
The Indian also explained how our country will succeed in becoming a world power. The leaders of the Romanian state will benefit from the experience gained by the Romanian military, who fought on foreign fronts. The prophet also explained that Romania will play a very important role in the fate of the world, culminating in the third and last world war.
Gupta Swami predicted that after the end of this war, Romania and India will become some of the most imported countries worldwide, but the most important poles of development will be countries like France, Russia, Greece or Japan.
Now Carmen Harra is also talking about the new Messiah, who will arrive on earth in 2033.

“Chile will open its doors to discuss the right to information”: Camila Vallejo
The Government spokesperson gave an interview to the Spanish news agency EFE and highlighted the holding of the 31st World Press Freedom Day Conference in the country. “It’s very good to get out of the bubble, look at international experiences and see how much we have advanced and how much we still need to do,” she said. Speaking about national politics, she expressed that “we came to the Government first to stabilize; second, to make the country grow again; and third, to transform.”
“EFE Agency”. Santiago. 4/2024. The spokesperson for the Chilean Government, Camila Vallejo, said in an interview with EFE that the celebration of the 31st World Press Freedom Day Conference to be held in Santiago will be “a key moment because Chile will open its doors to the world to discuss on freedom of the press, right to information and freedom of expression.”
“In this exercise of global outlook, we can also look at ourselves in a better way,” said the minister.
Under the motto “Press for the planet: journalism in the face of the environmental crisis”, Chile will host the most important international event on freedom of the press and the right to information between May 2 and 4, led by the United Nations. United Nations for Education, Science and Culture (UNESCO).
In the most recent press freedom classification prepared each year by Reporters Without Borders, the South American country dropped one place and reached 83rd place out of 180 countries, a decline that was repeated for the seventh consecutive year, since it was number 31 in 2017. .
The lack of pluralism and the concentration of the media in large economic groups are characteristics of the Chilean media ecosystem that keeps international organizations on alert.
“It is very good to get out of the bubble, look at international experiences and see how much we have advanced and how much we still need to do,” said the minister.
“The State must protect the work of communicators”
According to the Reporters Without Borders report, attacks on journalists have been increasing and it was precisely this violence that led the minister of the General Secretariat of Government (Segegob) to support a legislative initiative that includes the model of the proposed law of UNESCO for the protection of communications workers and adapts it to the Chilean reality.
“The State must protect the work of those who work in communications and these are not only journalists; (the bill) broadens the perspective of those who are a fundamental part of this right,” Vallejo said.
The initiative, which is currently in the Senate in its second parliamentary process, seeks to “strengthen prevention, monitoring and even the emergency priority of Justice in cases of communications workers who have been violated,” added the spokesperson.
“Threats and risks continue to exist”
Camila Vallejo, who declared herself enthusiastic about communications, a work that she has been developing for 12 years “from different trenches” – she said – as a leader of the student movement, as a parliamentarian later (2014-2018 and 2018-2022) and now from the Executive, He reminded the journalists and communicators who “fought against the dictatorship for democracy, truth and human rights.”
“Today that is a little further from our reality, but there continue to be threats, risks and different ways of violating the right to freedom of the press and information,” he added.
Vallejo mentioned that 30 years after the last Santiago Declaration on the Development of the Media and Democracy in Latin America and the Caribbean, of May 6, 1994, both the State, civil society and the media themselves communication “still have issues pending to be addressed” and was convinced that hosting World Press Freedom Day will contribute to “attracting” reflection on these issues to the heart of the country “both globally and locally.”
“Stabilize” and “make the country grow”
“We came to the Government first to stabilize; second, to make the country grow again; and third, to transform,” said Camila Vallejo in the interview with EFE.
For the first thing, Vallejo, who came to office in March 2022 and has survived three cabinet changes, explained that the Executive reduced inflation by more than 10 points, recovered almost 500,000 jobs and established the royalty mining, a tax on large-scale mining that he described as “very transformative advance” that delivers wealth to “neglected communities.”
“They were changes that were pending,” he noted, in addition to mentioning the increase in the minimum wage to 500,000 pesos (about $500) and the reduction of the working day to 40 hours, a law that he pushed during his time as a parliamentarian and that he considers one of the most “exciting” that he has announced from his position.
For the minister of the General Secretariat of Government (Segegob), “there has been substantial progress in the purposes,” although she acknowledged that being a minority in Parliament they face difficulties in dispatching the two main bets: the pension reforms and the tax reform. “We continue in that effort and we still have two years to achieve it,” said the former student leader.
A little over a year ago, the Chamber of Deputies rejected an ambitious tax reform that sought to raise 3.6% of the gross domestic product (GDP) in four years.
After facing a hard legislative blow, the Executive reconsidered the fiscal pact, lowered revenue expectations to 2.7% and divided the initiative into different projects that have been presented separately in the Chamber, where the increase in rates for the most rich is the main obstacle.
“Those who have more are not always available to make greater contributions to finance more security, social housing or increased pensions,” criticized Vallejo.
The election of Karol Cariola as president of the Chamber of Deputies
The Lower House elected a new board on Monday, led by her former benchmate, the communist parliamentarian Karol Cariola, and the Christian Democrats and the People’s Party, with a right-wing populist tendency, in the vice presidency.
After having to deal with a “very obstructionist” opposition, the spokesperson was “confident” that the new board of directors – “quite transversal”, she specified – will be able to “take charge of the priorities of the social agenda pushed by the Executive.” .
“Balancing is not a problem”
A geographer by training and a member of the Communist Party, the wing most anchored to the left of the Executive, Vallejo said that “striking balances” between the sectors of the traditional center-left, the most moderate of the government coalition, and those more aligned to the left, such as the Frente Amplio of President Gabriel Boric or the communists themselves, “has not been a problem,” but “it is part of good politics and the art of governing.”
“The grace of our Government is that it brought together political forces that at the time had differences,” and insisted that “uniting” has allowed them to “stabilize, normalize conflictive situations, grow the economy and make profound changes.”
Although the latest surveys place her among the authorities with the lowest citizen approval – a reflection of “the ups and downs of the contingency,” she said – and despite being one of the most exposed figures in the ministerial cabinet, she admitted feeling comfortable in the position. “even in difficult times.”
“In the face of conflictive situations, one thinks about how they did it or what happened to others when they were in the same chair that I am in now,” the spokesperson reflected.
In a retrospective of his 12 years of political career, he concludes: “When you are in the opposition you tend to see a part of reality (…) but from the Executive the view must necessarily be broader because you have to execute the change.”
