Impact reported, via Le Monde, that the government had ended five energy renovation aid programs, some of which were intended for low-income households. According to Impact, these programs supported families in energy poverty, homeowners, and municipalities in the renovation of housing, schools, and public buildings. Impact indicated that the Slime program had assisted 120,000 households since 2013 and allowed them to save an average of €329 per year on their bills. The Actee program had benefited 7,800 municipalities and supported the renovation of nearly 14,000 public buildings, including more than 4,500 schools. The Bail Rénov’ program had involved 69,000 rental housing units in three years. Impact also reported that, according to the Réseau Cler, more than 600 jobs were at risk in the Slime and Tims programs alone. The government justified these cuts by the desire to redirect funding towards electrification, particularly heat pumps and electric vehicles, Impact wrote. The report relayed criticisms from Agnès Pannier-Runacher, former minister and Renaissance deputy, who believed that these cuts affected French citizens already hard hit by the energy crisis. Impact added that the decision also sparked criticism within the presidential majority. #RénovationÉnergétique #PrécaritéÉnergétique #Gouvernement (translated)

Guillaume Herblot compared the Polish political situation in 2026 to the Soviet interventions in Hungary in 1956 and Czechoslovakia in 1968. He recalled that, in his view, the Soviet intervention in Hungary had caused thousands of deaths and led to the exile of hundreds of thousands of people, while the invasion of Czechoslovakia had ended the Prague Spring and denied national sovereignty. For Poland, Herblot stated that the Constitutional Tribunal was paralyzed, that its president had been suspended, and that the police had been deployed around the building. He mentioned accusations of "coup d'état" and argued that Brussels was applying pressure through legal, budgetary, and institutional means, notably through rulings by the CJEU, the conditionality of European funds, and rule of law related procedures. He estimated that these mechanisms aimed to bend a national majority opposed to the absolute primacy of European law. Comparing European integration after 1989 to the Soviet bloc, he described the former as a more subtle and effective imposed order in the long term, which, according to him, "dilutes" the sovereignty of nations. He finally predicted that this pressure could extend to other countries if an election resulted in an outcome deemed incompatible with Brussels' orthodoxy. #Pologne #Histoire #Souveraineté (translated)
