Watt The Duck denounced what he presented as a new threshold crossed the day before, which he compared to the storming of the Capitol. He accused Jean-Luc Mélenchon and La France insoumise (LFI) of fostering a climate of confrontation and violence, believing that the call for calm made by Mélenchon was late and did not address his political responsibility. The author called for establishing a political cordon sanitaire around LFI and asked elected officials not to support Mélenchon's candidacy for the presidential election. He argued that elected officials were free to grant or refuse their signature, and invited citizens to contact their mayors and elected representatives to ask them not to endorse it. #StopLFI #LFICaSuffit #LFI #Démocratie #Politique (translated)

Erik Tegnér accused Youssef Badr of describing, during an interview with LCP, the numerous emails sent to him as harassment within the context of the adversarial process, believing that they aimed to destabilize the judicial institution. Tegnér found this accusation incoherent, reminding that Badr had previously asked him during his trial to press harder with the lawyers who were not responding. He deemed that some individuals wanted journalists to simply publish flattering portrayals and labeled this attitude as totalitarian. He also expressed his astonishment at the idea that these individuals could later judge issues of press law. Tegnér clarified that the journalist who sent the emails was not him, as he had withdrawn from the investigation. He presented this journalist as the editor-in-chief of Frontières and holder of a press card, indicating that the media outlet was accredited by the CPPAP and recognized as part of the IPG. According to Tegnér, the investigation had respected the adversarial process, Badr had not contested the accuracy of the facts, and no defamation complaint had been filed. He defended the public interest in the subject by pointing out that Badr was a judge already in the media spotlight and a candidate for the presidency of the ENM. Finally, he criticized the journalist from LCP for giving favorable treatment to Badr. #Journalisme #LibertéDeLaPresse #Démocratie (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)
