Dans un communiqué transmis  par l##Elysée, Nicolas Sarkozy “a salué la mémoire d##un grand écrivain, un grand résistant, un grand homme politique, une grande plume et une grande âme”.Ecrivain particulièrement fécond, ministre des Affaires culturelles en 1973-74, Maurice Druon est mort vers 18H00 mardi dernier à son domicile parisien.


Les ministres de la Culture Christine Albanel, de l##Intérieur Michèle Alliot-Marie et de l##Education nationale Xavier Darcos, ont rendu hommage mercredi dernier à l##académicien Maurice Druon, “esprit fort” et “combattant de la liberté”, décédé la veille à l##âge de 90 ans.


Christine Albanel a déploré la perte d##une “figure majeure” de l##Histoire de France. “Grand patriote, Maurice Druon n##a jamais cessé … de servir la nation durant sa carrière de député, de ministre de la Culture et d##académicien”, écrit la ministre dans un communiqué.


“Grand défenseur de la langue française et de la francophonie”, Maurice Druon “était avant tout un amoureux des mots, qu##il mettait au service de sa passion pour l##histoire”, ajoute-t-elle.


“Ce deuil accablera tous ceux qui aiment la beauté et la droiture”, a estimé M. Darcos, lié “depuis de longues années” à l##ancien ministre de la Culture.


“Avec lui, la France ne perd pas seulement l##auteur emblématique des Rois maudits : elle pleure la disparition de l##une des figures les plus marquantes de sa vie intellectuelle”, a-t-il ajouté, dans un communiqué reçu mercredi dernier.


Michèle Alliot-Marie a salué une “personnalité hors du commun” et “un combattant de la liberté profondément attaché aux valeurs du gaullisme et à la grandeur de la France”, dans un autre communiqué.


Bernard Accoyer, président de l##Assemblée nationale a, de son côté, salué la mémoire d##un “immense homme de culture et inoubliable auteur du Chant des Partisans” qui s##est “attaché avec ardeur et élégance à faire rayonner et à défendre la culture et la langue française dans le monde”.


Frédéric Lefebvre, porte parole de l##UMP, a évoqué la disparition “d##un grand serviteur de l##exception culturelle française” qui a “consacré toute sa vie au service de la culture populaire”.


Ecrivain particulièrement fécond, ministre des Affaires culturelles en 1973-74, Maurice Druon est mort vers 18H00 mardi dernier à son domicile parisien.

Watani started as an Egyptian weekly Sunday newspaper published in Cairo. The word Watani is Arabic for “My Homeland”. The paper was founded in 1958 by the prominent Copt Antoun Sidhom (1915 – 1995), who strove for the establishment of a civil, democratic society in Egypt, where all Egyptians would enjoy full citizenship rights regardless of their religious denomination. To this day when Watani is published as a weekly paper and an online news site, the objective remains the same. Those in charge of Watani view this role as a patriotic all-Egyptian vocation. Special attention is given to shedding light on Coptic culture and tradition as authentically Egyptian, this being a topic largely disregarded or little-understood by Egypt’s media. Watani is deeply dedicated to offer its readers high quality, extensive, objective, credible and well-researched media coverage, with special focus on Coptic issues, culture, heritage, and contribution to Egyptian society.
