Guillaume Herblot presented the extension of the vote in Brazil as an example of "the deep state," believing that France was experiencing a similar mechanism. He wrote that, on Sunday, after the counting began as scheduled at the closing of the polls at 5 PM, Lula's campaign had appealed to the STF to request a national extension. According to him, Judge Cristiano Zanin, Lula's former personal lawyer and appointed to the Supremo Tribunal Federal by him in 2023, had ordered two additional hours, forcing the TSE to halt the count. He mentioned polling stations that had closed and then reopened in confusion. Herblot also recalled that in 2022, Alexandre de Moraes, then head of the TSE, had rejected a similar request from the PT despite roadblocks. He felt that the rules were applied differently depending on the concerned camp and that judicial and administrative institutions had become political actors. For France, he cited the Constitutional Council, the Court of Cassation, the Council of State, administrative jurisdictions, and part of the public prosecutor's office. He accused them of limiting the scope of reforms voted by elected majorities through interpretations of the law, priority questions of constitutionality, and censorship decisions. He also stated that senior officials and magistrates continued to influence the limits of political debate despite changes in political personnel. Herblot concluded that in both countries, unelected institutions held what he believed to be a blocking and interpretative power that diminished the impact of changes resulting from elections. #ÉtatProfond #Démocratie #Justice (translated)

Sylvain Catherine judged a response to his tweet to be of poor quality, considering that it already addressed most of the points raised. He particularly disputed the comparison between the France-Germany and U.S.-Germany spreads: according to him, the U.S. borrows in dollars while Germany borrows in euros. The spread between these two countries would therefore also reflect a gap in anticipated inflation — about 0.5 points higher in the U.S. over the past three years — and the policies of two distinct central banks. He noted that the Federal Reserve's key rate was between 3.75% and 4%, compared to 2.5% for the ECB. In his view, comparing France to Germany would actually neutralize these differences. Catherine also rejected the accusation that his estimate of an additional 60 billion in interest would immediately apply the cost of the spread to the entirety of the debt. He clarified that he had written that this amount "would eventually" be reached, without assuming an immediate effect. Regarding the liquidity of the French and German bond markets, he stated that both were among the most liquid. He acknowledged that the Bund constituted better collateral but believed that this was precisely because it was less risky. According to him, a liquidity gap could not explain a spread of 1.6 points and stemmed from the difference in risk between the two countries. He added that the spread did not directly correspond to a probability of default, as it combined default risk with liquidity or "convenience" premium. However, these components would nonetheless reflect the underlying risk gap between the bonds. Finally, he estimated that French bonds could benefit from the same advantages as German ones if they were equally safe and criticized the idea that the spread arose from Germany's greater perceived safety rather than the risk attributed to France.

Médias Citoyens stated that the CGT of France Télévisions demanded the resignation of Laurent Delahousse and the entire weekend 20 Heures team after the broadcast of a report on the violence of October 17. According to the media outlet, the union criticized the lack of comments to contextualize the subject and the airing of an intervention by Jean-Luc Mélenchon, which it labeled as an "obvious misunderstanding" and a "gross and dishonest procedure." Médias Citoyens indicated that it had rewatched the sequence and deemed that Mélenchon was discussing the mobilization of young people and its scale, and not the violence. The media concluded that the choice to air his statements in this report could be debated, but was not sufficient to prove that they had been distorted. It accused the CGT of stepping outside its union role by demanding the resignation of journalists and intervening, in its view, in a political battle as the 2027 presidential election approaches. Médias Citoyens has asked the ethics committee of France Télévisions to investigate the matter, particularly the pressures exerted on the editorial staff and their consequences for editorial independence. #CGT #Mélanchon #LibertéÉditoriale (translated)
