Paul St-Pierre Plamondon recalled that four years ago, when the Parti Québécois had only three elected members at the swearing-in ceremony, he had told his friend Pascal Bérubé that one day the lily would bloom again. He indicated that 59 party members had now taken an oath to the Constitution of Quebec. He stated that the elected officials would serve all Quebecers, whether they voted for the Parti Québécois or for another party, and that they would focus on their interests, needs, and priorities rather than on the next election. He acknowledged that a government could make mistakes while promising to demonstrate authenticity and transparency. Plamondon said he wanted to gradually reduce the cost of living, regain control of public finances by addressing waste and bureaucracy, and freeze the salaries of elected officials and leaders of state-owned enterprises until a return to budgetary balance. He also promised to refocus the state on healthcare, education, the protection of the population, and culture, as well as to halve homelessness in Quebec. He presented these measures as a way to restore trust in the state and government before resuming the debate on Quebec's national future. He defended the idea that Quebec should adopt all its laws, negotiate on its behalf with its international partners, and manage its entire budget independently, and then concluded with a call for freedom and a free Quebec. #Québec #Politique #PartiQuébécois (translated)

I like to say that for every plus, there must be a minus, he insists. We can evolve the budget priorities. We cannot change the overall framework. The government is "not closed" to the idea of further supporting youth, declared Roland Lescure, Minister of the Economy, on Wednesday, October 14, on Franceinfo, but "we will need to balance." #mobilisation #jeunesse #budget (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)

Emmanuel Macron reminded that ten years ago, some believed it was impossible to produce electric batteries in Europe and thought the French automobile industry could not compete on a global scale. He stated that France now has four gigafactories, produces hundreds of thousands of electric vehicles, and manufactures the batteries for the R4 and R5 in the country. According to him, these advances support employment and the economy while contributing to climate goals. During the Paris Motor Show, he outlined three priorities: protecting the industry, accelerating electrification and reindustrialization, and strengthening European sovereignty. He presented the agreement made between the European Union and China as a step against unfair competition, particularly in hybrid vehicles, and indicated that more than 40% of vehicles sold in September were electric. He also emphasized the investments made as part of France 2030 and expressed his desire to continue efforts, especially in autonomous vehicles. Finally, Macron stated that France is moving forward with its German partners towards an agreement aimed at reconciling decarbonization, competitiveness, and protection of the industry. He defended the goal of producing vehicles and their components in Europe and called for continued decarbonization without deindustrialization. #Industrie #Électrique #Souveraineté (translated)

Maranello Paddock wrote that Lewis Hamilton had formed a team of engineers at Ferrari that included people outside the historical circle of the Scuderia. According to the post, sources close to the driver described a method different from the usual routine, which relied on his feedback to better identify the car's problems and the priorities to address. The seven-time world champion was also said to have been recruited to help evolve working methods, thanks to his experience in winning teams and his influence. His approach reportedly elicited mixed reactions within the team. The post estimated that the group formed around Hamilton constituted the strongest core of this approach, but the next step was to broaden the consensus. It claimed that Hamilton had leeway to analyze the functioning of the team that Fernando Alonso had not benefited from and that Sebastian Vettel had even less. Carlos Sainz had reportedly established a methodical dialogue with the engineers. According to the post, Hamilton could bring a different experience and contribute to change, a mission that would have been implicit from his arrival. Maranello Paddock also wrote that Charles Leclerc, who had spent his entire career at Ferrari, did not have the same external benchmarks and often had to compensate on track for unresolved issues. However, the post indicated that Leclerc had moved closer to his teammate's perspective, which he found interesting. It was estimated that this convergence could strengthen the drivers' demands if their different approaches led them to face the same difficulties. According to the post, Hamilton's recent statements reflected this evolution: he still wanted changes but had to convince the management to accept new technical practices, using arguments, evidence, and a broader consensus. Maranello Paddock added that he needed to prioritize internal dialogue and avoid putting pressure on Frédéric Vasseur. Discussions about the future of the director could have complicated the process, while support for Vasseur could, according to the post, help continue the changes already underway. Finally, Maranello Paddock called Hamilton's podium finish in Sepang an encouraging sign and estimated that his influence would depend on the ability to extend the method developed with his engineers to the entire team. The post referred to an article by Giuly Duchessa for more information. https://t.co/lzVgcJhYJp) #Ferrari #Hamilton #F1 (translated)

For the BND and for myself, there is no compromise when it comes to national security. None of my objectives, none of my priorities, are called into question by this matter.

"I am also aware of the difficult budgetary situation in the Member States, but I want to warn against massive cuts. This could seriously undermine the essential priorities that we have all agreed upon."

Madam @vpecresse, You announce that you want to send the residents of https://t.co/NgzQcjii4v.s and pierrefittois.e.s a bill of 100,000 €. The Paul-Éluard high school is under the authority of the Region. Its maintenance, security, and the conditions for receiving students are your responsibility, not that of the City. Will you send a bill to every municipality where the youth is mobilizing? I have spent several mornings engaging in dialogue with the young people, parents, teachers, and the forces present to avoid escalation. Supporting the demands of high school students does not mean encouraging vandalism or calling for violence. You announce in your tweet 45 million euros for renovation, which is good. But why did you reduce the funding of half of the public high schools in Île-de-France, last Wednesday? The funding for Paul-Éluard has decreased for the second consecutive year. In January, you increased the funding for private high schools by 4 million. The taxpayers of Île-de-France also have some bills to send you: – 1.487 million euros for Stanislas, between illegal gifts and external fees, an institution implicated for its excesses; – 900,000 € in gifts made to Stérin, the far-right activist; – 25 million euros to compensate for the insufficient funding of public high schools, fundable by recovering the 13 million annual payments made to private high schools without any legal obligation; – 143 million euros to restore the budget cut from vocational training; – and an invaluable bill for all the lives disrupted by malfunctioning transportation. 100,000 € claimed from Saint-Denis. Millions given to the private sector and your friends. There are your priorities. So rather than a bill, come and actually discuss with the young people, and give them what they are asking for: a safe and healthy work site, sufficient staff, and adequate funding. #Education #ÎleDeFrance #Responsabilité (translated)
