Matthieu Valet 6m

Matthieu Valet wrote that lawyer Seydi Ba had accused two motorcyclist police officers of theft in Limoges on October 17 and questioned the evidence on which this accusation was based. He deemed these comments serious and believed that a lawyer should measure their impact and show rigor. Valet called on the Limoges prosecutor's office and the national police to examine the statements and the actions to be taken in response. He also accused the far left of lying and said that the two police officers, like those risking their lives to protect the public, deserved respect. #Justice #Police #Accusations (translated)

Le Musonge 3d

The Musonge questioned the transition of a former president, who had previously led the army and embodied the state, to armed struggle against the institutions. He asked whether this decision stemmed from violated convictions, an injustice, or a difficulty in accepting that power was held by others. The author also questioned the responsibility of this former leader in the system he had helped to construct, as well as the consequences of violence for civilians. He asked whether an injustice could justify a war and invited his readers to debate what should underlie their judgment: convictions or a refusal to lose power. #RDC #LeMusonge #PolitiqueCongolaise #PaixEnRDC #ProtectionDesCivils #ResponsabilitéPolitique #UDPS #PPRD #UNC #MLC #EnsemblePourLaRépublique #ECiDé #LGD #Leadership #Justice #DébatCitoyen #RDC #PolitiqueCongolaise #PaixEnRDC (translated)

Oh no. And poor Enrique Tarrio had assured us all he had an ETA exemption, in spite of his fraud and terrorism and gun crime convictions. Whatever injustice might have caused these travel difficulties?

David Lisnard 7d

David Lisnard wrote that Corentin and Romain observed, in their own words, that he appeared everywhere on their social media. He added that Corentin mentioned a "filter bubble effect" that could reinforce some in their convictions. Lisnard put forward two explanations: Corentin and Romain, employees of Franceinfo, could be close to his ideas because of this algorithmic effect, or their exposure to his content could reflect the actual progress of his approach, online as well as on the ground. He thanked Corentin and Laurent for their interest in his candidacy and for their publication. #ilsepassequelquechose #réseauxsociaux #bullesdefiltres #candidature (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.
