Generation⋅s has also chosen Jean-Luc Mélenchon for the upcoming presidential elections! A clear, coherent, and courageous political decision by Generation⋅s. By choosing to start negotiations with La France Insoumise to support Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s candidacy, Generation⋅s has opted not to confine itself to a socialist primary and to face the political reality of the moment. This decision comes in a context where the far right continues to progress and strengthen its political and institutional foothold. In the face of this risk, the division of the left cannot become fatality. It must not also lead to a dilution of the convictions of those who advocate for a profound transformation of our social, ecological, and democratic model. This is also why this decision by Generation⋅s can be considered coherent: it prioritizes the unification of the left willing to break from liberal policies around a clearly identified project, rather than the multiplication of candidacies and competing approaches. In this configuration, Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s candidacy appears, for those who defend this political line, as the only one today able to widely unify the left of rupture and offer an alternative to both liberalism and the far right. The danger would be to allow the divisions of the left to further open space for the far right, even as some convergences can be observed between certain right-wing forces and the far right. In light of this situation, building a solid, independent, and popular left alternative is more necessary than ever. So let us commend the decision of Generation⋅s. It marks a choice of political coherence: uniting the left forces that want to break from liberal policies, defend social and ecological gains, and construct a true alternative against the far right. The question is no longer about how to organize yet another primary. It is about how to build, right now, the popular unity capable of carrying a transformative left. (translated)

"According to United Nations figures, a child is abused every 30 minutes in Congo. It has been nearly twenty months since I left Panzi Hospital. Today, with the closure of the airports in Goma and Bukavu (two cities under the administration of the AFC/M23 rebellion, Ed.), one has to go through the Rwandan capital, Kigali, to access them, which is not an alternative for me," explains Denis Mukwege, Nobel Peace Prize winner 2018.

These are not just simple screenshots but the metadata of Jordan Bardella's Facebook account… Complicated. Very complicated. How can one believe, in 2026, that a French media outlet is having fun producing fakes or harboring them? Jordan Bardella will lose all the lawsuits he intends to file - and that’s probably why he will stall by not making any direct quotes. Having political opinions, preferences, is one thing; but defending him and claiming that Mediapart produces fakes to save him from his own troubles, and supporting his dubious explanations, is impossible. Those who are having fun defending him today and agreeing with him will have to justify themselves when the justice system dismisses him and confirms the authenticities. (translated)

🔴 Here is the scene filmed by the video surveillance cameras of a bakery in Petit-Quevilly, in the suburbs of Rouen. The scene took place around 9 a.m. this Thursday morning, while the manager was in the back room and his employee was preparing sandwiches. Several hooded and masked youths burst into the store to steal... displays of lollipops and candies before fleeing. The bakery is located near the Élisa-Lemonnier high school, particularly affected by the riots of recent days. This Thursday morning, its principal was notably attacked in the neck with a metal bar and sprayed with gas. The brand new facade was also vandalized. Frustrated, the baker decided to publish the images on social media, accompanied by these words: 🗣️ “We, artisans, have been suffering for months from rising prices of our raw materials, ever-increasing taxes, and mind-boggling taxes. We do everything we can to get by and avoid impacting the purchasing power of our customers. And today, this gang of degenerates dared to enter OUR place. The goal? To steal!” Contacted by @Valeurs, he indicated that he intends to file a complaint. (translated)
