Actu Foot reported, citing L’Équipe, that Bamo Meïté, Faris Moumbagna, and Jean Onana were mistaken for members of a rival gang by three armed men in May 2024. According to the account relayed, the players were returning from the Commanderie and found themselves mistakenly in a dead end due to construction and a malfunctioning GPS. A chase ensued, and several shots were fired. The vehicles of Moumbagna and Onana were hit by bullets, some of which penetrated the bodywork.

The European budget has increased by 1.5% over the last two years; the national budgets of the Frugal countries have increased by an average of 14% over the same period. Romanian conservative MEP Siegfried Muresan, co-rapporteur of the European Parliament on the MFF, is irritated by the argument that the EU would recklessly increase its budget, considering national budgets: "The European budget has increased by 1.5% over the last two years; the national budgets of the Frugal countries have increased by an average of 14% over the same period." #BudgetEuropéen #CFP #Impasse (translated)

Matthieu Pigasse presented a negative assessment of ten years of Macronism. According to IMF figures published the day of his message, France was expected to register growth of 0.4% in 2026, among the lowest in the world, he wrote. He felt that Emmanuel Macron and his government had to answer for a policy that, in his view, had left the country fractured, public services weakened, poverty and inequality at historic levels, as well as a youth worried about their future. He also labeled the promise of “trickle-down” as a lie. Pigasse believed that the radical right and Marine Le Pen were proposing an economic policy similar to that of Macronism, but accompanied, in his view, by hatred. He called for another policy driven by a radical left in government and for massive investments in education, health, industry, and ecological transition. To finance these priorities, he proposed advocating at the European level for monetary creation dedicated to public investment and converting public debts held by the Eurosystem into perpetual debts at zero interest rate. He also advocated for increases in low wages, a strengthening of wage negotiations, and tying public aid to commitments on employment and remuneration. Finally, he called for greater contributions from large fortunes and capital income to fund common goods. According to him, growth should benefit workers and those neglected by the system, with the goal of better-shared wealth and rebuilt public services. #Macronisme #France #Croissance (translated)

Bally Bagayoko wished a speedy recovery to the principal and the teacher injured by shotgun fire at a college in Aubagne. He expressed his support for the students, staff, and families affected, as well as for the young minor involved and his family, and commended the intervention of those present and the emergency services. He believed that the age of the adolescent called for an inquiry, without prejudging the causes, into what factors of suffering, harassment, isolation, or violence could have contributed to the tragedy. He also mentioned the role of social media and the dissemination of violent images, calling for greater accountability from platforms, better regulation of such content, and enhanced education on media literacy. Bagayoko, however, emphasized that screens could not be the sole explanation. He advocated for better consideration of the mental health of young people, the fight against bullying, more resources for educational teams and the professionals involved, as well as preventing minors from accessing weapons. He warned against calls to immediately toughen the juvenile justice system and to challenge the principles of the 1945 ordinance. According to him, the response should take into account the age, maturity, and background of the young person, and should combine sanction, education, support, and prevention. He added that acknowledging potential suffering in the adolescent did not equate to excusing the actions or forgetting the victims. Bagayoko finally called for the protection of victims and the educational community while seeking to prevent further incidents. He believed that no child should be left alone in the face of their distress and called for schools and society to be spaces of protection. #Éducation #Prévention #Violence (translated)
