A citizen collective, "Lacrymo de sang," raises alerts about the possible effects of tear gas on gynecological health, particularly disruptions to the menstrual cycle, and calls for a thorough scientific study to establish a causal link. #Santé #Gynécologie #GazLacrymogènes (translated)

The author presented Lula's victory as proof that no political outcome was inevitable. He wrote that almost all commentators had predicted Bolsonaro's victory, but that a strong civic mobilization in favor of democracy had disproved them. He compared this situation to that of Serbia with Vučić. The message ended with an unfinished wish. https://t.co/W3djM8fxM8 #Lula #Démocratie #Mobilisation #BR #RS (translated)

The author of the message stated that if he came to power, his movement would establish a 6th Republic through a constituent assembly and would propose a Citizens' Initiative Referendum as well as a revocation referendum. He added that citizens could vote to end the term of an elected official who did not respect his program. https://t.co/e9r3WLKjkz #6eRépublique #RIC #Référendum #FR (translated)

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)

Bally Bagayoko presented Lula's victory in Brazil as a sign of hope and wrote that a mobilization in favor of democracy and social justice could allow France to follow a different path in 2027. He defended a candidacy for Jean-Luc Mélenchon and called to block what he described as a racist, authoritarian, and fascist drift. He urged voters to check their registration on the lists, to persuade their loved ones, and to assist those who are absent on election day in establishing a proxy. He also emphasized the importance of mobilizing young people in working-class neighborhoods, rural areas, and overseas territories. Bagayoko finally called for detained individuals who retain the right to vote to be able to exercise it, believing that this would recognize their place in society and contribute to their reintegration. He presented the fight against racism, hatred, and inequalities, as well as the defense of democracy and solidarity, as key issues for the country's future. #Démocratie #Solidarité #JusticeSociale (translated)

The author believed that no political situation was inevitable and that the mobilization of citizens committed to democracy could overturn the most compromised scenarios. He cited Lula's comeback and his victory against the far right, which commentators had, in his view, already deemed victorious. #démocratie #mobilisation #politique #BR (translated)

Bally Bagayoko presented Lula's victory in Brazil as a sign that popular mobilization could defend dignity, rights, democracy, and the future. He described it as a victory of hope, social justice, and resistance to the rise of the far right. He called on France to open a new political perspective in 2027, in the face of inequalities, racism, and the normalization of far-right ideas. He advocated for a social, democratic, and ecological break and called to carry this ambition with Jean-Luc Mélenchon, for an anti-fascist and anti-racist France, placing people and solidarity before profits and privileges, in his view. Bagayoko added that change became possible when peoples united and mobilized. #Lula #Démocratie #JusticeSociale (translated)

The author described the situation as surreal and stated that the Prime Minister had asked operators the day before to be ready to cut access to social networks. He condemned this approach, believing that the government could not allow the situation to worsen while applying censorship that would affect the majority of citizens. https://t.co/ad5XsWSLJ3 #Liberté #Censure #Politique #FR (translated)

The author explained the situation by stating that the government, in his opinion, had not listened to anyone for ten years. He wrote that the petitions of the Yellow Vests had been locked away in a metal cabinet, that the citizens' conventions had been forgotten, that the unions had been scorned, and that the verdict of the ballots had been ignored. https://t.co/NDh5R0g9oi #GiletsJaunes #Démocratie #Politique #FR #BE (translated)

Régis de Castelnau accused Emmanuel Macron of having been installed at the Élysée by a "coup d'état" and cited Jacques Attali, François Hollande, the Socialist Party, magistrates, and plutocrats among those he held responsible. He stated that they should be held accountable. He also reproached the president for exploiting the tragedy in Trappes by presenting a planned act of terrorism against individuals based on their skin color or religion as unprecedented, which he argued amounted to denying the attacks, racist or religious murders, and terrorist acts that have occurred in France since 1980. In his message, de Castelnau accused Macron of wanting to directly frame freedom of expression and assembly without having the competence to do so. He recalled that, in his view, Article 11 of the Declaration of the Rights of Man guarantees this freedom and that protests require a prior declaration, not a request for authorization. He also mentioned a bill presented 50 years ago by the Minister of the Interior under Georges Pompidou, which the Constitutional Council had rejected because it established a regime of prior authorization. De Castelnau asserted that prefects could prohibit a demonstration likely to disturb public order, under the judge's control, but not solely on the grounds of the order desired by Macron. He indicated that the Council of State had reminded that the presidential declaration could not, on its own, affect the exercise of the freedoms to protest and assemble. https://t.co/WS1f4tPP8u #LibertéDExpression #Manifestation #PolitiqueFrance (translated)
