Philippe Murer claimed that Germany had left the Franco-German tank project after withdrawing from the SCAF aircraft program. According to him, France had thus lost 10 years of development for the successor to the Leclerc tank. He also argued that France risked losing control of Nexter, the manufacturer of tanks and the Caesar gun. KNDS was 50% owned by the French state, he wrote, but a new plan accepted by the Élysée aimed to reduce the French share to 40%. Murer accused the Macronists of betrayal and described the Franco-German defense cooperation as a disaster for France. He called for France to regain full ownership of Nexter and demanded the dissolution of the KNDS joint venture. #France #Défense #IndustrieMilitaire (translated)

After several days of reflection, GeoTales announced its return and stated that it wanted to refocus its account on science, which it presented as the origin of its identity and audience. It said it has more than 53,000 subscribers and aims for 100,000 "in a few months." It cited volcanology, seismology, natural disaster monitoring, and scientific discoveries among the topics it wished to address, as well as technological developments, notably artificial intelligence and its possible consequences. It said it wanted to explain these topics rigorously and without sensationalism, while making knowledge accessible to the largest number of people. GeoTales also stated that it deeply loves France. It mentioned its multiple origins, of which it is proud, and explained that France is the country where it grew up, built its life, and founded its family. It added that it intends to defend the country when it believes it is necessary to react, without making its account a political space. It thanked its ever-present subscribers and summarized its approach by stating that science was its compass and that France remained its home. #Science #GeoTales #France (translated)

Auguste Bardamu claimed that Karl Marx never paid Helene Demuth a regular salary, who had worked for over forty years for his family in exchange for lodging and food. He wrote that she took care of the laundry, meals, and children. According to Bardamu, Marx had gotten Demuth pregnant in 1851 and refused to acknowledge their son, Frederick. The author argued that Friedrich Engels publicly endorsed the paternity of the child at Marx's request, and then Frederick was placed in a poor foster family in London. He also claimed that Marx never gave her money and prohibited her from entering through the main door during visits to her mother. Bardamu added that Engels only revealed the true identity of the father on his deathbed. He concluded that Marx wrote "Capital" while Demuth worked in his home without payment. #Marx #Exploitation #LutteDesClasses (translated)

Matthieu Pigasse denounced alarmist rhetoric regarding a possible financial crisis in France. He argued that the rise in interest rates was primarily a global phenomenon, exacerbated in Europe by the restrictive policy of the ECB, and that an increase in the French spread did not reflect the country's solvency or an imminent collapse. According to him, this rhetoric fueled fear in order to impose austerity and silence dissenting voices. He claimed that it portrayed cuts in public spending, education, health, pensions, and social protection as inevitable, whereas political choices could, in his view, pave the way for an alternative policy. #Économie #Politique #CriseFinancière (translated)
