AlertesInfos reported that LFI had unveiled Jean-Luc Mélenchon's program for the 2027 presidential election. According to the account, it included up to three days of self-declared sick leave without medical consultation, seven days of leave after the death of a friend, a minimum wage increased to 1,700 euros net per month — 220 euros more — and a retirement age of 60, with a full pension after 40 years of contributions. It also proposed gradually reducing the working time to 32 hours per week and establishing a nine-month mandatory ecological service, paid at the minimum wage, for those under 25. The program also included, according to AlertesInfos, full reimbursement of medical expenses by social security, coverage of psychotherapy for those under 26, a 10% increase in housing assistance (APL), a minimum income for young people, and student meals at one euro. It also included the revaluation of civil servants' salaries, capping inheritances at 12 million euros, freezing the prices of certain essential products, and setting a limit of one to twenty between the lowest and highest salaries in the same company. Public aid to businesses would be conditional on social and ecological commitments. Regarding taxation, LFI proposed, according to the account, to restore the wealth tax (ISF), establish the Zucman tax, and divide income tax into 14 brackets to increase the contributions of the wealthiest. The program called for a gradual exit from nuclear energy and a 100% renewable energy electricity production by 2060, the prohibition of flights between 11 PM and 6 AM, as well as the suspension of low emission zones. AlertesInfos also indicated that the proposals included moving to a Sixth Republic that would give more power to citizens, abolishing the 49.3 article, which allows the government to pass legislation without a vote, and strengthening the fight against discrimination, particularly within the police. The program also planned to recognize the massacre of Algerians on October 17, 1961, as a state crime, to renegotiate European treaties, and to refuse the application of certain rules deemed incompatible with it, as well as to gradually withdraw from NATO's integrated military command. Finally, it supported the creation of a Palestinian state alongside Israel. #LFI #Mélenchon #Présidentielle2027 (translated)

Bally Bagayoko welcomed the adoption by the National Assembly of a bill aimed at making the aides for students with disabilities (AESH) permanent employees. He congratulated deputies Nadège Abomangoli and Murielle Lepvraud and noted that the bill proposed the creation of a body of civil servants, the permanent employment without competition of AESH already in position, a year of training, and better recognition of working hours. Bagayoko believed that these measures were important for the professional conditions of AESH and school inclusion, particularly in Saint-Denis and Pierrefitte. He attributed this progress to years of mobilization by AESH, families, unions, and the educational community, as well as to the efforts of parents to obtain suitable support for their children. He finally indicated that the bill was to be examined by the Senate and urged continued mobilization. #AESH #SaintDenis #Pierrefitte #QuartiersPopulaires #ÉcoleInclusive #Handicap #ÉgalitéDesDroits #Éducation #AESH #ÉcoleInclusive #ÉgalitéDesDroits (translated)

Guillaume Herblot presented the extension of the vote in Brazil as an example of "the deep state," believing that France was experiencing a similar mechanism. He wrote that, on Sunday, after the counting began as scheduled at the closing of the polls at 5 PM, Lula's campaign had appealed to the STF to request a national extension. According to him, Judge Cristiano Zanin, Lula's former personal lawyer and appointed to the Supremo Tribunal Federal by him in 2023, had ordered two additional hours, forcing the TSE to halt the count. He mentioned polling stations that had closed and then reopened in confusion. Herblot also recalled that in 2022, Alexandre de Moraes, then head of the TSE, had rejected a similar request from the PT despite roadblocks. He felt that the rules were applied differently depending on the concerned camp and that judicial and administrative institutions had become political actors. For France, he cited the Constitutional Council, the Court of Cassation, the Council of State, administrative jurisdictions, and part of the public prosecutor's office. He accused them of limiting the scope of reforms voted by elected majorities through interpretations of the law, priority questions of constitutionality, and censorship decisions. He also stated that senior officials and magistrates continued to influence the limits of political debate despite changes in political personnel. Herblot concluded that in both countries, unelected institutions held what he believed to be a blocking and interpretative power that diminished the impact of changes resulting from elections. #ÉtatProfond #Démocratie #Justice (translated)

Dividend King wrote that France is now borrowing at 5% for ten years and that the gap with Germany continues to widen at an alarming rate. According to him, if this trend continues, an austerity plan could be implemented before 2030, with significant cuts to pensions, public sector staffing, and social aid, as well as an increase in taxes for everyone. He blamed the elected officials for refusing sound budget management for 50 years and stated that all French people would pay the price. #France #Économie #Austérité (translated)
