Tear Off reported that Mohammed Ben Sulayem would propose at the next FIA General Assembly to remove the age limit of 75 years imposed on candidates on presidential ballots. According to the account, the FIA justified this measure by the desire not to exclude qualified candidates whose experience could be useful to the federation. Tear Off also recalled that in 2023, Ben Sulayem, then 64 years old, had established a 70-year age limit which, according to the account, aimed to prevent David Richards from running against him. This limit was subsequently raised after Ben Sulayem's reelection. Tear Off emphasized that the proposal came six months after the removal of the rule limiting the duration of presidential terms and suggested that these changes indicated Ben Sulayem wanted to remain president indefinitely.

⚡️🇫🇷FLASH - The National Union of Journalists (SNJ), the first organization of the profession, strongly condemns the remarks made by Marine #LePen during a press briefing organized on Tuesday, September 29. The leader of the National Rally (RN) was reacting to revelations from Mediapart regarding #antisemitic remarks attributed to the president of the RN, Jordan #Bardella. The presidential candidate notably stated: "Now, it is Mediapart, I believe, that will need to put on its Kevlar suit, because there will obviously be a response to the way they behave." Kevlar is the material used to make bulletproof vests. The threat is therefore precise, public, and acknowledged. As a deputy and former party leader, Marine Le Pen perfectly knows that her remarks will be widely disseminated. These intimidations are of extreme seriousness. The #SNJ gives its full support to the editorial staff of #Mediapart, whose investigations contribute to illuminating public debate, and will stand alongside its teams if they wish to take legal action.
