Seydi Ba wrote that the deputy Éric Ciotti had personally asked the Minister of the Interior to investigate him due to the use of his freedom of expression, deemed "dangerous for the Republic." He believed that attacking the remarks of a lawyer, on the contrary, endangered the Republic. Seydi Ba recalled that, according to a statement from the International Union of Lawyers published on October 30, the freedom of expression of lawyers extends to matters of general interest, criticism of the functioning of justice, and questions regarding the actions of public authorities. He indicated that these principles are included in the Basic Principles of the United Nations regarding the role of the bar, adopted in Havana in 1990, and in the Council of Europe Convention for the protection of the profession of lawyer, signed by France on May 13, 2025. He added that his positions could be criticized, but that they did not, in his opinion, justify a political leader asking the executive to act against their author because they were disturbing. Finally, Seydi Ba thanked the International Union of Lawyers for its reminder and stated that he would continue to express himself, even if his remarks displeased Éric Ciotti. #LibertéDexpression #Justice #Démocratie (translated)

Dividend King wrote that the National Assembly had adopted two amendments to the 2027 finance bill. According to him, the first established a tax of €0.055 per gigabyte of internet data, which would target digital content providers but would ultimately be paid by consumers. He claimed that it could double or triple mobile and internet bills. He also indicated that socialist deputies had succeeded in restoring the Exit Tax at 15 years. He deemed this measure contradictory to statements asserting that France would be a tax haven for the ultra-rich and that they would not leave if taxes increased. Dividend King estimated that the government would likely pass its version of the budget through article 49.3 or by ordinances. He also criticized the deputies for their votes and their remuneration. According to him, out of the 577 seats in the National Assembly, 35 deputies were present during the vote on the internet tax: 11 voted in favor, 10 against, and 14 abstained. #Finances2027 #Fiscalité #AssembléeNationale (translated)

Springfield mocked the reactions to the Russian decision: according to him, the absence of a veto was presented as proof of the strength of Moroccan diplomacy and of Algeria's failure, while a veto was described as the expected outcome and a sign of Algerian isolation. He summarized this logic by saying that, in both cases, Morocco won and Algeria lost. He also wondered if Moroccans ever acknowledged a defeat, adding that they claimed to have been winning for 50 years. #Maroc #Algérie #Diplomatie (translated)

The account Les Mileistes Français claimed that an attempted coup d'état had taken place the day before in Poland. It accused the centrist Prime Minister of having tried, unsuccessfully, to take control of the Constitutional Council with the help of the police, while the president was traveling. The author also criticized the media, the left, and the centrists for not reacting. He argued that their defense of the rule of law aimed to preserve their influence over the institutions and felt that this was being daily violated in France, where judges, according to him, might not apply the laws and where institutional mechanisms would hinder certain laws. He finally advocated for power to return to the people, citing Switzerland as a model, and wrote that a people responsible for its choices would become mature. #Pologne #ÉtatDeDroit #PouvoirAuPeuple (translated)

Marc Vanguard mentioned a time when, according to him, one could wear a mask on Halloween, where it was not necessary to finance a riot tax of 400 million euros per year, and where it took ten days of riots to reach the human toll of just October 17, 2026. He also cited traders forced to barricade themselves on Saturdays, the protests capable of connecting Bastille to Nation, and the deployment of 22,000 police officers and gendarmes during an important PSG match. He recalled that it then seemed absurd to install metal detection gates at the entrance of high schools, concrete blocks around Christmas markets, or a wall of armored glass around the Eiffel Tower. He also wrote that people carrying pepper spray were considered paranoid. Vanguard believed that this period, where one could still question a possible intensification of violence, seemed to be over. According to him, violence had become a habit in France and people were more focused on adapting to it rather than fighting it. He urged not to get used to it or to resign oneself to a degradation of the country's situation. #France #Violence #Société (translated)

Guillaume Herblot compared the Polish political situation in 2026 to the Soviet interventions in Hungary in 1956 and Czechoslovakia in 1968. He recalled that, in his view, the Soviet intervention in Hungary had caused thousands of deaths and led to the exile of hundreds of thousands of people, while the invasion of Czechoslovakia had ended the Prague Spring and denied national sovereignty. For Poland, Herblot stated that the Constitutional Tribunal was paralyzed, that its president had been suspended, and that the police had been deployed around the building. He mentioned accusations of "coup d'état" and argued that Brussels was applying pressure through legal, budgetary, and institutional means, notably through rulings by the CJEU, the conditionality of European funds, and rule of law related procedures. He estimated that these mechanisms aimed to bend a national majority opposed to the absolute primacy of European law. Comparing European integration after 1989 to the Soviet bloc, he described the former as a more subtle and effective imposed order in the long term, which, according to him, "dilutes" the sovereignty of nations. He finally predicted that this pressure could extend to other countries if an election resulted in an outcome deemed incompatible with Brussels' orthodoxy. #Pologne #Histoire #Souveraineté (translated)

Jaf relayed a statement in which King Mohammed VI expressed satisfaction with the announced end of MINURSO after 35 years and mentioned the final days of the mission in the southern provinces. The text estimated that the non-renewal of the mission would put an end to the periodic examination of the file by the UN Security Council, as well as the reports of the Secretary-General and the briefings of his personal envoy. The statement also asserted that the UN political process was suspended and that similar steps would be taken in other UN bodies. It indicated that Morocco remained committed to the ceasefire and claimed that more than two-thirds of UN members supported autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty as a framework for resolving the dispute. Jaf welcomed the announcement and expressed support for the king and Moroccan Sahara. #Maroc #Sahara #Histoire (translated)
