FRENCHRAPUS wrote that after his "historic defeat" against the Democrats, Donald Trump would remain president, but would have more difficulty getting his bills passed and funding his MAGA initiatives, particularly the construction of the wall. He added that the Democrats could block certain judicial and high official nominations, increase investigations into Trump's entourage, and initiate impeachment proceedings against him. #Trump #Démocrates #Politique (translated)

Cerfia explained that a Democratic control of the Senate and the House of Representatives could block Donald Trump's proposals and prevent the funding of certain measures, which would make negotiations and concessions on the budget necessary. The media also mentioned the increase in parliamentary investigations thanks to votes for summonses and subpoenas, as well as the possible rejection of Trump's nominations for federal judge positions, in his administration, or as ambassadors. Finally, it mentioned a possible launch of impeachment procedures, while estimating that they would have little chance of success. #Élections2024 #Politique #ÉtatsUnis (translated)

News - Barça reported that in June 2026, Pep Guardiola believed that the Champions League could "destroy projects" and hoped that this would not happen in his case. He added that a failure in this competition should not call into question the work accomplished. Guardiola presented the league as the competition that ensured consistency and continuity. According to him, in the Champions League, teams had to reach the final stages in good form and without injuries, while officiating had a considerable impact there. He emphasized the importance of daily work and the team's progression, adding that not reaching the final or winning the trophy was not enough to qualify the season as bad. In his eyes, the league should serve as a basis to evaluate the season. #LigueDesChampions #Football #Guardiola (translated)

The ₿unker 🪖 published a satirical portrait of Hugo, a 34-year-old man born in Clermont-Ferrand and living in Paris, whom they described as torn between his social ambitions, consumption habits, and political convictions. The author presented him as a buyer of biodynamic wine and a voter for Jean-Luc Mélenchon, while criticizing his use of cocaine and his desire to work for LVMH thanks to a family connection. In the story, Hugo had bought a 38 m² apartment on credit from Crédit Agricole over 25 years in 2021, at a price of 10,000 euros per square meter on Avenue Parmentier. On October 17 at 11:40 PM, riots were taking place in his street: the Monoprix was looted and his car was damaged, according to the author. He added that the property management had subsequently demanded 4,800 euros for repairs and that a real estate agent estimated that a quick sale would require a price of 8,200 euros per square meter. The text also asserted that the local property tax rate had increased by 52% under Anne Hidalgo in 2023. The story concluded with Hugo losing his job after a Hermes agent completed in twelve minutes a task he had planned for the end of the quarter. The ₿unker 🪖 contrasted his fate with that of his cousin Théo, who moved to Mexico, and then urged its readers to "vote with their feet." #Paris #Société #Immobilier (translated)

The parliamentary group PASTEF – The Patriots announced that after two days of work in the Finance and Budget Control Commission, it had decided not to adopt the draft rectifying budget law (PLFR) 2026 as it stands. It specified that its position did not challenge the necessity of revising the budget in light of new economic constraints, but stemmed from disagreements over budgetary arbitrations, financing modalities, and guarantees provided to Parliament. The group also regretted that the concerns of the parliamentary majority and the requests of the Commission had not received, in its opinion, the expected institutional attention. The group expressed its willingness to engage with the executive, provided that cuts in health, education, vocational training, water supply, infrastructure, industry, and other structuring projects of the National Transformation Agenda are reexamined, and that adjustments focus primarily on non-essential expenditures. It also requested that any reduction in energy subsidies be accompanied by a reduction in the taxation of petroleum products and the costs of electricity supply and production, without increasing prices for households and businesses. Regarding the 120 billion FCFA of the Autonomous Contingent Emergency Response Project (CERP), it demanded the transmission of the agreements concluded with the World Bank, as well as clarifications on the source, allocation, and budget allocation of the resources and their effects on investment projects for which credits are postponed. PASTEF – The Patriots also called for expediting the program to rationalize the parapublic sector, which, according to the group, includes the elimination of 19 entities and at least 55 billion FCFA in net budget savings over three years. It requested a reduction in non-priority operational expenditures and strengthened control of special funds. Finally, the group requested justifications regarding the sincerity of the projected deficits for 2026 and 2027, in light of the ongoing adjustments, rebasing, and actual execution of expenditures, particularly public investments financed by external resources. It demanded the communication of audit reports from the General Inspectorate of Finances (IGF) on non-financial debt and Forvis Mazars, as well as clarifications on the financial commitments of the State and the sustainability of the debt. The group estimated that decisions with lasting effects on public finances should be accompanied by complete information and submitted to the oversight of the national representation. It stated its openness to dialogue with the Government before the plenary session, in order to reach an agreement, and affirmed its desire to defend a transparent, sincere, and sustainable budget, without sacrificing the purchasing power of Senegalese citizens or the necessary investments for the country's development. #pastef #senegal #PLFR2026 #budget #transparence (translated)

Finneko examined the economic proposals of David Lisnard, who predicted, according to him, 80 billion euros in savings as early as the first year, 200 billion in cruise mode, and up to 300 billion in the long term. He described the program as a liberal strategy aimed at reducing public spending and levies on labor and companies, while promoting investment and employment. Of the 200 billion announced, Lisnard intended to allocate 120 billion to increase net wages through a reduction in contributions, 40 billion to reduce production taxes, and 40 billion to improve public finances. Finneko pointed out that the savings would not translate into a corresponding reduction in the deficit: according to his calculation, the direct budgetary improvement would be 40 billion. Starting from the public deficit of 152 billion euros recorded in 2025, there would remain, before any other changes, a financing need of more than 110 billion. Finneko deemed that the elimination of the C3S and the reduction of production taxes could support certain companies, without guaranteeing that the saved amounts would be devoted to investment or employment. He also noted that the 120 billion intended to increase net wages required further clarification on the distribution between employee and employer contributions, as well as on the financing of social spending. He also questioned the savings achievable through the reorganization of the 1,153 national public bodies, estimating that the elimination of structures would not necessarily eliminate the expenses related to their missions. Regarding pensions, he indicated that Lisnard wished to introduce a mandatory and collective capitalization tier and mobilize the delinking of pensions exceeding 2,000 euros per month. Finneko requested clarifications on the funding of the transition and the payment of current pensions. Finally, he estimated that the adjustment of 80 billion from the first year should be evaluated in light of its possible effects on activity, particularly demand. While he considered several directions worthy of interest, he expressed skepticism about the budgetary credibility of the amounts and the timeline. He awaited details of the savings, measure by measure and year by year, a simulation of their economic effects, and a projection of the funding for the transition to capitalization. #Economie #FinancesPubliques #Salaires (translated)
