Wow, nothing in Le Devoir. Their international section is quite bad but still surprising.

[ionelv]

For international news in French, maybe Le Monde would be a more comprehensive news source? https://www.lemonde.fr/international/article/2025/08/05/ion-iliescu-ancien-president-de-la-roumanie-et-homme-de-la-transition-democratique-est-mort-a-95-ans_6626861_3210.html?search-type=classic&ise_click_rank=1

Yeah, I check there & I get le Diplo. I'm just surprised they didn't at least syndicate something from AFP. Maybe tomorrow?

Well, Le Diplo is a monthly, right? So, they will take their sweet time to cover this bit of backwoods news. I am sure most weeklies and monthlies that are worth their salt will eventually cover it. I mean, the guy ran a former Eastern Bloc country for only 24 years (with a small gap) before shepherding its entrance into the EU and NATO.

Yes; I'll keep an eye out for September. It's early enough in August they have time to put together something good, though it's a bit of a crapshoot these days.
