A little tour and then goes away. Not even three months after his arrival in October 2021, Jérôme Bellay, current director general of writing, will leave the Journal du Sunday (JDD). On January 24, it will be replaced by Jérôme Beglé, current deputy director of the writing of the point. This appointment promises to revive speculations on Vincent Bolloré on Lagardère, owner of the title, and on its three-month political velléities of the presidential election.
