The last visit of the Kings of Spain to Ceuta and Melilla in November 2007, after 74 years of absence, unleashed a crisis in Spanish-Moroccan diplomacy and provoked a wave of protests and tensions on both sides of the Strait. (translated)

"Carlos Cuesta: 'Pedro Sánchez needed a big bomb to cover up Ceuta, the 15 corruption cases surrounding him, cover up the trial of Begoña Gómez... his script is to set fire to the streets.'" (translated)
This primary is a moment of decisive choice. The one who will represent us must embody a break from ten years of Macronism that has caused so much suffering for the French. We will not succeed by surrounding ourselves with those who have led it. There are two (translated)
Generation⋅s has also chosen Jean-Luc Mélenchon for the upcoming presidential elections! A clear, coherent, and courageous political decision by Generation⋅s. By choosing to start negotiations with La France Insoumise to support Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s candidacy, Generation⋅s has opted not to confine itself to a socialist primary and to face the political reality of the moment. This decision comes in a context where the far right continues to progress and strengthen its political and institutional foothold. In the face of this risk, the division of the left cannot become fatality. It must not also lead to a dilution of the convictions of those who advocate for a profound transformation of our social, ecological, and democratic model. This is also why this decision by Generation⋅s can be considered coherent: it prioritizes the unification of the left willing to break from liberal policies around a clearly identified project, rather than the multiplication of candidacies and competing approaches. In this configuration, Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s candidacy appears, for those who defend this political line, as the only one today able to widely unify the left of rupture and offer an alternative to both liberalism and the far right. The danger would be to allow the divisions of the left to further open space for the far right, even as some convergences can be observed between certain right-wing forces and the far right. In light of this situation, building a solid, independent, and popular left alternative is more necessary than ever. So let us commend the decision of Generation⋅s. It marks a choice of political coherence: uniting the left forces that want to break from liberal policies, defend social and ecological gains, and construct a true alternative against the far right. The question is no longer about how to organize yet another primary. It is about how to build, right now, the popular unity capable of carrying a transformative left. (translated)
Violence is never legitimate, especially when it is directed against the School of the Republic and those who serve it. We must restore calm and dialogue. Calm is not silence. To move forward together and make the School what it should be: the place (translated)

I am informed that these police vehicles are on their way to Ceuta. It is likely that in the next few hours the eviction of Playa del Trampolín will be carried out. The question is: what will this eviction trigger? Will they be sent back or will it cause a stampede throughout the city? We will see… (translated)
We talk and joke every day about the decline of our Western societies, about immigration, about the betrayal of our elites, about Islam and everything that leads us to the bottom of the abyss, but we must always keep in mind that behind all this, there are human, intimate dramas that do not leave those who have faced them when they turn off their phones. There are people who, while we manage to be satisfied with a precarious situation, suffer and must go to sleep every night with the memories of a lost loved one. Happy memories tinged with suffering, which make it impossible to find sleep. Let us not forget them. (translated)
Fabrice Arfi informs us that, to confirm that the messages retrieved from Meta were indeed those of Bardella, Mediapart did not need to waste time investigating his life... Jordy had offered them everything in his autobiography 📖 But what a treat tonight 😏🍿 (translated)
These are not just simple screenshots but the metadata of Jordan Bardella's Facebook account… Complicated. Very complicated. How can one believe, in 2026, that a French media outlet is having fun producing fakes or harboring them? Jordan Bardella will lose all the lawsuits he intends to file - and that’s probably why he will stall by not making any direct quotes. Having political opinions, preferences, is one thing; but defending him and claiming that Mediapart produces fakes to save him from his own troubles, and supporting his dubious explanations, is impossible. Those who are having fun defending him today and agreeing with him will have to justify themselves when the justice system dismisses him and confirms the authenticities. (translated)

In Paris, a policewoman was chased and thrown to the ground. In Nantes and Roubaix, high schools were set on fire. In Marseille, a fire truck was looted and then burned. Police officers, firefighters: those who protect us are being attacked. How much longer will this government let it happen? (translated)
For those who followed via the stream, I had a herniated disc in my neck, I experienced the worst pain of my life for 2 weeks literally screaming in pain day and night (and I broke some things, really I’m not a lightweight). My only relief was when we significantly increased my doses of corticosteroids and morphine over the last 10 days. I just had surgery, everything went well, I am extremely relieved, I got a taste of what chronic nerve pain feels like and it’s not funny at all. So there you have it, if I was less present in the stream, in FRPL, and especially absent from traveling to LAN with HEROIC, it was for this reason. Unfortunately, I will miss the next Stake Pulse and the Draculan, but if all goes well I will be at IEM Beijing with the team. Obviously, I continue to work remotely, it’s prep, it consumes 2D but you have to listen to your body. Thanks to HEROIC for being so understanding during this time ❤️ (translated)
