If many citizens do not care about the climate, it is not their fault: austerity pushes them to put this issue in the background. They must first worry about making ends meet," nuances Pascal, CSC delegate. #Climat #Bruxelles #Manifestation (translated)

The author of the message advocated for lowering the voting age to 16. He argued that at that age, a person could be emancipated, take on parental responsibilities, vote in labor court elections, and be incarcerated.

Impact reported that Olivier Truchot opposed the presence of elected officials at demonstrations and questioned why Bally Bagayoko, the mayor of Saint-Denis and not Paris, participated in a Parisian gathering. Truchot believed that elected officials should instead address problems, regardless of their political affiliation. After a speaker asked him if the elected officials who demonstrated against anti-Semitism were also wrong, Truchot responded that the situation was different. #Politique #Manifestation #République (translated)

Bally Bagayoko explained that his group abstained during the vote on a wish presented by the opposition elected officials from the Socialist, Environmentalists, and Citizens group at the municipal council. The text focused on the protection of girls and women against excision and female genital mutilation, as well as the adoption of a comprehensive law against sexist and sexual violence (SSV). He said that his group supported the fight against mutilations and reminded that nearly 500 patients received follow-up each year in the municipality. He also praised the work of the Women's House, Delafontaine Hospital, and various associations, and asked the State to strengthen the resources allocated for prevention and medical follow-up. According to Bally Bagayoko, the abstention concerned the request to quickly adopt the law on SSV. He indicated that the bill had been significantly amended in committee at the National Assembly the week of the municipal council, and its content remained uncertain. His group had asked to remove references to this law from the wish in order to be able to vote in favor of the text on the fight against excision, but the opposition had refused, he wrote. He believed that this refusal had hindered the pursuit of an agreement and denounced a political instrumentalization of the issue. The group ultimately abstained in order not to block the wish, which was adopted, while not supporting all of its content, he noted. #Excision #DroitsDesFemmes #LutteContreLesViolences (translated)

Bally Bagayoko认为,唐纳德·特朗普对法国的蔑视和对穆斯林的污名化使得艾马纽埃尔·马克龙的沉默在政治上变得问题重重。他强调,根据他的观点,法国是主权国家,其穆斯林公民完全是法国人,而其年轻人值得尊重,而不是来自华盛顿的意识形态漫画。他补充说,捍卫国家尊严和共和原则,包括面对盟友,并不意味着挑起外交危机。他呼吁法国总统明确而坚定地发表声明。 #France #Macron #DroitsHumains (translated)
