Alma Dufour judged that the responsibility for the degradation, which she deemed unacceptable, lay entirely with Emmanuel Macron. She accused him of having despised peaceful social movements, of not having respected the result of the 2024 elections, and of having, according to her, plunged France into recession and significantly increased poverty. She also mentioned a liter of gasoline at 2.4 euros and claimed that there were more deaths in emergencies than homicides. Dufour accused the president of having had children who feared they had no future blinded, due to the elimination of thousands of university places and the lack of teachers. She estimated that the consequences of his policy were "1,000 times more violent" than the events of Saturday and asked where the outrage was in the face of the suicides of children from the child welfare system, the caregivers who self-immolated due to a lack of resources, and the female judges who hanged themselves in their offices. She concluded that Macron's government had destroyed the country and that the events of the previous day were a symptom of this. #Macron #France #Injustice (translated)

David Lisnard indicated that Cannes' debt was expected to have decreased from 83.5 million euros by the end of the year, compared to a decrease of 81.5 million previously planned. He attributed this result to the method applied since 2014. He stated that the municipality had never increased local tax rates and had even reduced them last year. According to him, the reduction in debt benefited taxpayers and future generations. He also highlighted the modernization of municipal services, particularly through artificial intelligence, as well as a tenfold increase in self-financing capacity to support investments and aid for vulnerable individuals. Lisnard added that these results had been achieved despite, in his opinion, the increase in state tax levies on municipal finances and the challenges encountered. He concluded that Cannes was progressing and succeeding. #Cannes #Dettepublique #Gestionmunicipale (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)
