Bally Bagayoko recalled that, on October 17, 1961, nearly 30,000 Algerian men and women demonstrated unarmed in Paris against the curfew and for the equality and independence of Algeria. He mentioned more than 11,000 arrests, hundreds of deaths, and bodies thrown into the Seine, as well as decades of lies. He indicated that a march took place that very evening in Saint-Denis, for the first time, and presented the commemoration as a commitment to pass on this memory. He also paid tribute to Fatima Bedar, aged 15, who had come to support the demonstrators with her schoolbag and was found drowned in the canal. A city garden now bears her name, he wrote, adding that she should not remain an anonymous victim. Bagayoko believed that justice involved recognizing the crime of state. He stated that he had signed a petition from mayors demanding this recognition, the inclusion of October 17 on the calendar of national days, the complete opening of archives, support for transmission to young people, and assistance for survivors and their families. He called on every political force to take a clear stance, deeming 65 years of silence sufficient. According to him, acknowledging the facts was not about repentance, but about facing history and reminding children in working-class neighborhoods that their history mattered. He finally presented the memory of October 17 as a bulwark against the hatred used in electoral campaigns and the sorting of French people according to their origins. #Mémoire #Justice #Égalité (translated)

Manuel Pellegrini strongly criticized the refereeing after Betis' defeat against FC Barcelona. He believed that refereeing decisions had influenced decisive actions and determined the outcome. Regarding a disallowed goal, he acknowledged that Cucho had touched the ball with his hand, while claiming that a Barça player had pushed him from behind. He also judged that the red card had decided the match: according to him, Yamal had pushed and provoked his opponent, who had responded incorrectly. Pellegrini believed that the referee should have warned both players and stated that the score did not reflect the flow of the match. https://t.co/FMEAGLXQr5 #Arbitrage #Betis #FCBarcelona (translated)

Patrick Champagnac wrote that he read in Le Canard enchaîné that Caroline Roux specified, in L’Heure de vérité, that the economist Thomas Porcher, who had questioned Édouard Philippe, was collaborating with Radio Nova, owned by Mathieu Pigasse. He asked why she had not also mentioned, in his opinion, that the Dassault family owned Le Figaro and that the Dassault defense group employed Eugénie Bastié, whom he characterized as a far-right journalist and presented as the next interviewer. He questioned the selective nature of the program. #Presidentielle2017 #Medias #Transparence #Politique (translated)

Sardoche wrote that X could help "save" a country by bringing the truth to light. He claimed that France was collapsing economically due to a problem that political leaders had hidden from him through accounting tricks. According to him, dozens of X users had demanded accountability for years and put forward falsehoods. He added that the Minister of Finance had joined what he called the "camp of truth," by allowing a subject that had heretofore, according to him, been associated with accusations of conspiracy theorizing to be addressed. He thanked Elon Musk. #Vérité #Économie #France (translated)

Joan Larroumec stated that the French private pension system was also heavily in deficit, estimating its deficit at 77 billion euros. He argued that the public system's deficit reached 50 billion euros per year, masked in his view by accounting overcontributions, notably 82% for the state and 126% for the military. According to his calculations, the private system received 228 billion euros in contributions, against 300 billion euros in pensions paid, or 305 billion euros including management fees. He indicated that the gap was covered by subsidies, allocated taxes, and debt. He specifically cited 37 billion euros in levies related to the CSG and allocated taxes, 24 billion euros in reimbursements by the state for exemptions from charges, and 17 billion euros collected from family and unemployment funds. Larroumec estimated that the pay-as-you-go system should have been adjusted 25 years ago, either by lowering pensions or raising the retirement age, due to the aging population and the decrease in the number of active workers per retiree. He attributed the lack of reform to a lack of political will and opposition from the population, stating that the deficits had been financed through overcontributions in the public sector and by taxes, subsidies, and debt in the private sector. He also disputed the figures from the Retirement Orientation Council, which estimated the deficit at 5 billion euros. According to his calculations, 420 billion euros were spent each year on pensions, against 282 billion euros in contributions collected, leaving 137 billion euros to be found elsewhere in the economy. He suggested that political leaders were staying silent about the problem because retirees formed the largest electorate in France and that attempts at reform had cost some elected officials their jobs. #Retraites #France #Déficit (translated)

Didier Maïsto stated that Mr. Glucksmann had been an advisor to a dictator with the agreement of the United States. He added that, in his opinion, the fact that Glucksmann finds this situation "shameful" or says today that it annoys him does not change the truth of the facts. #politique #vérité #actualités (translated)

Actu Foot reported that Lisandro Martínez had criticized his team's collective play, mentioning a lack of cohesion and difficulties in stringing together three or four passes. He believed that the squad was currently not at the level of other top teams. The defender acknowledged that the players and the coach needed to take responsibility but also demanded more commitment from the club and ambition, particularly regarding the goal of winning the Champions League and the Premier League. He added that the same speeches were repeated every season and that, in his opinion, nothing would change without speaking the truth. Actu Foot attributed these statements to CBS Sports. https://t.co/1UQ2qIYapx #LigueDesChampions #PremierLeague #Football (translated)

Babel TV criticized an article from Le Parisien which, according to the media, presented climate change as a "new accelerator" for child marriages at the age of 12. It contrasted this coverage with comments from Donald Trump, who had described climate change as "the greatest scam ever perpetrated against the world," and claimed that the FBI, along with Kash Patel, had announced they had found thousands of children and arrested hundreds of predators during nationwide operations. Babel TV accused journalists of no longer feeling shame. #LeParisien #information #actualité #france #journaliste #Médias #Epstein #RéchauffementClimatique #ArnaqueClimatique #Trump #KashPatel #FBI #Enfants #Journalisme #MaisonBlanche #Vérité #RéchauffementClimatique #actualité #Médias (translated)

Cerfia reported that Deputy Charles Alloncle accused France Télévisions and Radio France of refusing to promote his book *I Swear to Tell the Whole Truth*, which focuses on the behind-the-scenes of his investigation into public broadcasting. According to him, the two groups had not responded to his interview requests and this lack of speaking time undermined the pluralism of media funded by the French, Cerfia stated, citing *Le Figaro*. #Média #Pluralisme #Livre (translated)

Charles Alloncle stated that his book, *I Swear to Tell the Whole Truth*, published a week earlier, was number 2 in sales and had already been read by thousands of people. He claimed that France Télévisions and Radio France had refused, despite several requests, to give him airtime to discuss it. He attributed this refusal to a "boycott" and accused the two groups of wanting to hide the use of public money. He notably mentioned karaoke events costing 250 million euros, severance payments exceeding 500,000 euros, billions of euros in contracts made outside public procurement rules, as well as conflicts of interest and nights in luxury hotels at 1,700 euros. Alloncle also accused the media of spreading misleading information and discrediting him, and denounced pressures aimed, according to him, at silencing him, including withheld documents, judicial intimidation, and surveillance in Paris. He wrote that his six-month investigation had uncovered a system serving their interests and that his book described the methods and excesses involved. (translated)
