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.

According to him, it was not surprising if some preferred to flatter their audience. #LoL #gaming #communauté (translated)

Rodolfo, known as the Devil's Advocate, claimed that Flávio Bolsonaro's campaign had requested the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) to take measures against searches on Google and trends on social media. According to his writings, the request asked Google, X, and Meta to block that content within a six-hour period. Rodolfo maintained that the initiative aimed to thwart the digital strategy of the so-called "Army of Lula," which he attributed with 6.58 million subscribers. He also stated that the request acknowledged that searches on Google had increased by more than 1,000% and that the press had reported on its impact. The author linked the case to the disclosure of banking and tax information of Lula, his children, and Janja, and called on his followers to spread his publications and join the mobilization. #LibertadDeExpresión #DerechosDigitales #MovilizaciónSocial (translated)

Pepijn van Houwelingen wrote that a father had freed his son from a group home in Spain, where the boy was allegedly tortured by child protection services. He mentioned that the Salvation Army had reported the father and that the father had been convicted by a judge. He also wrote that the Salvation Army had informed him the week before that members of parliament were not welcome at discussions with parents, not even at the request of those parents; he called that suspicious. Van Houwelingen stated that the minister and the inspection were doing nothing and that the minister trusted the involved institutions. According to him, the inspection could not supervise placements abroad. He criticized the House of Representatives, which he referred to as the "Sleeping Chamber," because it had repeatedly rejected motions against placing children abroad and for oversight by the inspection and members of parliament. He wrote that the Chamber would vote on Tuesday on a motion that aimed to give parents the right to prohibit the placement of their children abroad against their will. In that context, he asked Lisa Westerveld, Marijke Synhaeve, and Ruud Verkuijlen for their opinion. https://t.co/W6kCiYwnPn👇 #jeugdbescherming #kindermishandeling #ouderrechten (translated)

KC ZE1SH wrote that a tweet of this kind illustrated what he described in "Zack Unleashed": posts that, in his opinion, sought to incite hatred towards a person already disliked by part of their community, based on often unfounded prejudices. He specified that the excerpt referred to very late hours for managing a recruitment process and that not everyone was necessarily awake at that time. While acknowledging that many aspects of a person could be criticized, he reproached the author of the tweet for drawing conclusions without knowing what that person was doing or not. According to him, this type of posting contributed to harassment, while the target could be going through a very difficult time. KC ZE1SH added that he did not claim to give orders to anyone, but that he wanted to talk about his experience and feelings. He said that tweets of this kind had contributed to his own constant harassment and had often affected him. He presented his post as a warning and hoped that it would change the mindset of at least two people. #Harcèlement #Prévention #Bienveillance (translated)
