« Ce qui tue les automobilistes, c’est l’assistanat » : Louis Sarkozy veut supprimer « les feux rouges, les lignes blanches et les panneaux de signalisation »

Sur RMC ce mercredi, le candidat à la mairie de Menton dit vouloir une « immense simplification de nos routes » alors qu’une étude de la Fondation Vinci autoroutes révèle que 95 % des usagers de la route disent craindre le comportement à risque des autres.

#Macron decided to prepare the French state for parliamentary elections on 16th and 23rd November. (The procedure was to call the presidents of the two chambers and to order prefets to trigger preparations.)

Beware that it is preparations: ammunitions, sort of.

Et si on vous donnait 150 euros par mois pour bien manger ? On vous explique comment fonctionne la Sécurité so

Une proposition de loi visant à expérimenter ce dispositif partout en France, déposée par les députés écologistes, est débattue à l'Assemblée nationale, jeudi. Le principe ? En échange d'une cotisation, chacun bénéficierait de 150 euros par mois à dépenser dans des points de vente alimentaires conventionnés.

I guess President Min Aung Hlaing can disappear off to France as he also has immunity in France (allegedly).

A Manifesto? - Part 1: New Ways of Being

This is my house. I made these things.

Running for the presidential primaries of the conservative party in 2021, Michel Barnier advocated the idea of freeing the country from the constraints of human rights, i.e. of ‘no longer being subject to the rulings of the Court of Justice of the European Union or the European Court of Human Rights’.

The French newspaper of record ran the headline: ‘Michel Barnier, the man who “ticks all the boxes”’ in an article for subscribers (not me): https://www.lemonde.fr/politique/article/2021/10/23/election-presidentielle-2022-michel-barnier-l-ex-m-brexit-a-la-conquete-de-lr_6099639_823448.html @france

Election présidentielle 2022 : Michel Barnier, celui qui « coche toutes les cases » mais reste peu connu en France

Renommé à Bruxelles, le candidat à l’investiture à droite veut croire que sa longue expérience dans les arcanes du pouvoir, en France et en Europe, constitue un atout maître.

I agree that the pol scene is crazy. I am still participating though.

Here is my understanding of How France politics work:

The crumbling of the French Empire enabled the bourgeoisie to switch from parliamentary (compromise) to presidential (monarch). Since then, parties are racing stables: organized to have one man take all. Generally, the entire political class, is polarised and polluted by the presidential election.

This is why "coalition spirit" (Jean Garrigues' word) sorely lacks among the electoral forces. Here is a prominent coach: https://eldritch.cafe/@breton/112774020329546625

Sophie Binet hier soir : « Que chacune et chacun laisse de côté ses intérêts partisans et personnels, exhorte la dirigeante syndicale. Ça joue dans tous les sens au sein de la gauche, à droite, au centre, mais les électeurs n’iront pas dans le détail. Ils vont tous se faire balayer par l’extrême droite s’il n’y a pas là un nouveau gouvernement qui sort sur une politique de rupture à la politique économique et sociale d’Emmanuel Macron. » https://www.mediapart.fr/journal/politique/110724/sophie-binet-cgt-s-adresse-au-nfp-que-chacun-laisse-de-cote-ses-interets-partisans-et-personnels @[email protected] @[email protected] #rupture #gouvernementDeRupture #Mediapart #CGT #victoire #NFP #législature #législatives #législatives2024 #résultats #gouvernement #syndicat #SophieBinet #Binet #FRPol #polFr #politique #politiqueFrançaise

France's Macron has reminded the people of New Caledonia that a peaceful path to independence is not possible. He has also reminded the archipelago that, in fact, it's perfectly democratic for the French parliament composed mostly of Europeans to govern over a far-away colony.

The ruling class leaves the people of New Caledonia with but one recourse to achieve a world free of them.

Macron imposes “republican order” to quash New Caledonia unrest

Amid a massive police-military operation, Macron made it clear in Nouméa that full independence for the French colony is off the agenda.

World Socialist Web Site

In addition to France bringing down state violence in New Caledonia, there are also settler militias firing at people. Apparently the latter "... have had access to weapons since a 2011 decision to make it easier for people to own guns, specifically designed for European residents .... "

In true settler-colonial fashion, White Europeans move into a far away place, claim it as their own, and make everyone who lived their before second-class citizens in a place they cannot leave.

New Caledonia: Kanak revolt confronts French state and settler militias - Freedom News

The revolt started a week ago in the south Pacific territory, after a series of disputed independence referenda.

Freedom News

Instead of listening to the people of New Caledonia (Kanak), the French Government has unilaterally decided to maintain its colonial project in the South Pacific through force.

Somehow, this maintains democracy and returning sovereignty to the people does not.

Why are protests against France raging in New Caledonia?

Recent demonstrations against local election reforms by France have turned violent and prompted a lockdown.
