The ₿unker 🪖 published a satirical portrait of Hugo, a 34-year-old man born in Clermont-Ferrand and living in Paris, whom they described as torn between his social ambitions, consumption habits, and political convictions. The author presented him as a buyer of biodynamic wine and a voter for Jean-Luc Mélenchon, while criticizing his use of cocaine and his desire to work for LVMH thanks to a family connection. In the story, Hugo had bought a 38 m² apartment on credit from Crédit Agricole over 25 years in 2021, at a price of 10,000 euros per square meter on Avenue Parmentier. On October 17 at 11:40 PM, riots were taking place in his street: the Monoprix was looted and his car was damaged, according to the author. He added that the property management had subsequently demanded 4,800 euros for repairs and that a real estate agent estimated that a quick sale would require a price of 8,200 euros per square meter. The text also asserted that the local property tax rate had increased by 52% under Anne Hidalgo in 2023. The story concluded with Hugo losing his job after a Hermes agent completed in twelve minutes a task he had planned for the end of the quarter. The ₿unker 🪖 contrasted his fate with that of his cousin Théo, who moved to Mexico, and then urged its readers to "vote with their feet." #Paris #Société #Immobilier (translated)

The author noted that Pedro Passos Coelho would give an interview to Maria João Avillez on SIC Notícias, between 9 PM and 10 PM, and argued that his governance should be reassessed in light of the financial conditions he encountered. According to the author, Portugal had already requested external assistance when Passos Coelho arrived at the Government in 2011, and the adjustment program of 78 billion euros had been negotiated before he took office. He maintained that during the legislature, exports rose from about one-third of GDP to nearly 40% in 2015, including tourism, and that the tourism sector gained strategic momentum. Regarding privatizations, he acknowledged that some operations were questionable and warranted scrutiny but argued that they allowed the collection of billions of euros, the amortization of public debt, and reduce financing needs and interest burdens. He also considered that cuts in the public sector were painful but questioned what the alternatives would have been when the State could no longer finance itself normally. The author further highlighted that Portugal completed the financial assistance program in 2014 and returned to market financing without a precautionary program, recovering, in his view, decision-making leeway. He stated that Passos Coelho was the most relevant politician of the century in Portugal for having made unpopular decisions and contributed to an economic change whose effects surpassed his Government. #Portugal #Política #Economia (translated)

Guillaume Herblot estimated that Elwan had experienced a rapid media rise, with videos that garnered millions of views and an invitation from Pujadas. He described his intervention on Wednesday evening on LCI, facing Louise Elzeu, as a failure and criticized him for adopting a condescending tone, particularly when mentioning his interlocutor's neighborhood of origin and skin color. Herblot also reminded that Elwan was 16 years old and criticized the promotion of his career as a spokesperson before he had, in his opinion, responded to a contradiction. He mentioned his support for Mélenchon, a moment facing Vincent Lapierre, and the young man's media appearances, before concluding that "the shell was made of cardboard." #Elwan #Politique #Médias (translated)
