David Lisnard indicated that a work session had focused on the future of Cannes La Bocca Grand Ouest, a project developed by the teams of the City of Cannes and the Cannes Lérins Agglomeration, which he presented as being set to become one of the most emblematic in the Paca region. Thomas Onzon presented the data, and then Yann Vari Lécuyer provided the projections. According to Lisnard, the project was intended to better combat flooding while meeting the needs for housing and economic activities and improving the quality of life. The meeting also served to examine the constraints, identify the challenges, and share a vision for future developments in this strategic area. He advocated for a proactive and strategic approach, with a clear framework, appropriate public facilities, and public intervention that is supplementary to that of private owners. #Cannes #DéveloppementDurable #AménagementUrbain (translated)

David Lisnard stated that he had given a new impetus to decentralized cooperation between Cannes and Shizuoka during a meeting with the mayor of the Japanese city, Takashi Nanba, in the presence of the Japanese ambassador to France, Hideo Suzuki, and the consul of Japan in Marseille, Mitsuaki Mizuno. He believed that France and Japan shared democratic, demographic, ecological, economic, geopolitical, scientific, and technological challenges, as well as major strategic interests. According to him, Japan's security engaged that of France, which was also a Pacific nation, with territories, maritime spaces, and interests to protect in New Caledonia, French Polynesia, and Wallis and Futuna. Lisnard also mentioned freedom of navigation, security of supplies, and regional stability in the East China Sea, the Taiwan Strait, and on maritime routes in the Indo-Pacific. He called for strengthening Franco-Japanese cooperation in artificial intelligence, semiconductors, robotics, quantum technologies, space, and nuclear energy, particularly by bringing researchers and companies closer together and developing production capacities. He presented the ties between Cannes and its twin city, Shizuoka, as a local contribution to sovereignty and to national and international dynamics. Finally, he described Japan as a pole of stability and called on democracies to tighten their ties in the face of the rise of authoritarian approaches. #CoopérationInternationale #AmitiéFrancoJaponaise #Technologie (translated)

Maciej Paraszczak wrote that Wisła Kraków has made it into the top twenty of the official ranking of the Cannes Lions 2026 competition. He stated that the ranking included 20,050 entries from 92 countries, evaluated by over 300 judges, and the festival has been held since 1954. Paraszczak pointed out that the success was accompanied by the eighth consecutive sell-out of the 33,000-seat Wisła stadium. He added that the club could have set a record by selling tickets for all matches of the entire round — something that, as he noted, no Polish club has achieved before. He also mentioned the development of the Wisła Biznes club, in which he participated, and congratulated Jarosław Królewski and Wisła Kraków SA. #WisłaKraków #CannesLions #sukces (translated)

Press Briefs reported that 780 female and male students from 15 journalism schools had denounced, in a forum, the media coverage of high school mobilizations. The signatories believed that sensationalist editorial lines rendered the demands invisible and that some media omitted police violence in favor of the damage and incidents they attributed to people outside the movement. They also criticized some newsrooms for broadcasting images of minors without blurring their faces. The forum cited data from ACRIMED on the television news of France 2 between September 28 and October 1, 2026: 11 segments were dedicated to the mobilizations, of which 75% of the time focused on material damage, 8% on the demands, and 3% on police violence, which amounted to 47 seconds. The students said they observed a gap between what they saw on the ground and the media coverage, which they deemed contrary to journalistic ethics. They called on mainstream media to better contextualize the movement and take responsibility. The signatories came from the Journalism School of CY Cergy, Celsa – Paris, CFJ – Paris, ESJ – Lille, Journalism School of Grenoble, IFP – Paris, EJCAM – Marseille, IJBA – Bordeaux, IPJ – Paris, EDJ – Paris, CUEJ – Strasbourg, IUT of Lannion, EJC – Cannes, Master of Journalism of Metz, and EPJT – Tours. #journalisme #médiatique #désinformation (translated)

The marches organized by elected officials in several cities to gather in front of city halls (we are indeed talking about buildings, yes) originated from the AMF, led by the mayor of Cannes, David Lisnard, a supporter of the far-right Argentine president Milei. It's good to know where one is speaking from. (translated)

We do not want candles, we do not want to cry, we do not want plush toys, we do not want grand declarations. In Cannes, the mayor, head of the AMF and also a presidential candidate David Lisnard delivered a very aggressive speech: "We do not want candles, we do not want to cry, we do not want plush toys, we do not want grand declarations," he snapped, denouncing "unforeseeing" rulers "who have allowed this country to deteriorate." #Rassemblements #LibertésPubliques #Violences (translated)

The French Mileistes reported having long seen comments accusing David Lisnard of being particularly repressive during the Covid crisis. Living on the Côte d'Azur and working in Cannes, the author stated that he went to the city every day outside of confinement periods and was then worried about what he perceived as an authoritarian drift justified by health reasons. The author explained that Lisnard, the mayor of Cannes, had not convinced him at first. However, he remembered a piece by the mayor published in Le Figaro during the crisis, where he, according to his account, criticized bureaucracy, cited Tocqueville, and denounced the constraints related to movement certificates. This stance gave him moral support while he read authors from the Austrian School of economics and worried about freedoms. The French Mileistes also reported that a bookstore in Cannes, located near their office, had remained open despite the bans and had garnered attention in the national press. According to the author, Lisnard had publicly supported it, went there to buy a book, and asked Roselyne Bachelot to stop its forced closure by the National Police, without success. The author described him as one of the few elected officials to openly defend this type of local resistance and indicated that he had also accused Emmanuel Macron of using the vaccination pass for political purposes. The author acknowledged that Lisnard had also had beaches sprayed with hydrogen peroxide and actively supported vaccination. He believed that the mayor had favored targeted, anticipated, and local measures rather than general restrictions, and presented the Covid period as proof of his courage and sincerity. He concluded that he would not forget that Lisnard had, in his opinion, defended freedoms while almost all other elected officials turned away from them. #Liberté #Politique #CôteDAzur (translated)

David Lisnard indicated that Cannes' debt was expected to have decreased from 83.5 million euros by the end of the year, compared to a decrease of 81.5 million previously planned. He attributed this result to the method applied since 2014. He stated that the municipality had never increased local tax rates and had even reduced them last year. According to him, the reduction in debt benefited taxpayers and future generations. He also highlighted the modernization of municipal services, particularly through artificial intelligence, as well as a tenfold increase in self-financing capacity to support investments and aid for vulnerable individuals. Lisnard added that these results had been achieved despite, in his opinion, the increase in state tax levies on municipal finances and the challenges encountered. He concluded that Cannes was progressing and succeeding. #Cannes #Dettepublique #Gestionmunicipale (translated)

Chicago Boy indicated that he had discussed that very morning with a Parisian leader about David Lisnard. According to him, the Parisian milieu despised him, reducing him notably to his image of a "Cannes redneck" and his jogging. He believed that this contempt could serve Lisnard and that he should rely on a discourse in favor of a return of power to the provinces and decentralization. He clarified that this would not be a discourse against the elites in general, but against the Parisian elite, which he described as disdainful and incompetent. #Politique #Décentralisation #Elites (translated)
