Dividend King wrote that the National Assembly had adopted two amendments to the 2027 finance bill. According to him, the first established a tax of €0.055 per gigabyte of internet data, which would target digital content providers but would ultimately be paid by consumers. He claimed that it could double or triple mobile and internet bills. He also indicated that socialist deputies had succeeded in restoring the Exit Tax at 15 years. He deemed this measure contradictory to statements asserting that France would be a tax haven for the ultra-rich and that they would not leave if taxes increased. Dividend King estimated that the government would likely pass its version of the budget through article 49.3 or by ordinances. He also criticized the deputies for their votes and their remuneration. According to him, out of the 577 seats in the National Assembly, 35 deputies were present during the vote on the internet tax: 11 voted in favor, 10 against, and 14 abstained. #Finances2027 #Fiscalité #AssembléeNationale (translated)

Frenchie estimated that the 21st century could go down in history as one of great French humiliation, attributing part of this situation to the country's political choices. He contrasted the industrial ambition of fifty years ago, when, according to him, nuclear projects were being launched and scientists, engineers, and workers were building for future generations, with current proposals. He specifically mentioned the legacy of Pasteur, the Curies, and the Lumière brothers. He criticized the adoption in the Assembly the day before of an amendment aimed at taxing data circulating on the Internet, claiming that eleven votes were enough to pass it. According to him, such a measure risked hindering the opportunities that the Internet offers to young people, researchers, and those without fortune or networks. He also contested the idea that the tax would be borne solely by content providers, estimating that the cost could be passed on to their services. Addressing the deputies who voted for the amendment, Frenchie reproached them for seeking new tax revenues rather than questioning public spending that he deemed misused. He believed they were betraying their responsibility to past and future generations and warned against the risk of one generation squandering what ten others had built. He concluded that he did not want children to leave France to build their future and then return as tourists. #France #Souveraineté #Innovation (translated)

Jon De Lorraine stated that the National Assembly had adopted a socialist amendment creating a tax on Internet data. According to him, this would amount to €0.055 per gigabyte transmitted to French internet users, or €55 per terabyte, and would be paid by digital content providers, notably Google, Meta, Amazon, and Netflix. He indicated that the socialists hoped to raise €10 billion per year from it. Although companies are officially liable for the tax, Jon De Lorraine estimated that they could pass the cost on to consumer subscriptions and decried a new tax. #France #Fiscalité #Internet (translated)

Gio CR7 wrote that the media counted 450 goals for Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid, while the club officially attributed him 451. He added that Opta, which he presented as a global reference for football data, applied its own criteria. According to him, MARCA took 16 years to remove a goal from Ronaldo and revert to a total of 450, while Real Madrid continued to credit him with 451. #CristianoRonaldo #RealMadrid #Football (translated)

David Lisnard indicated that a work session had focused on the future of Cannes La Bocca Grand Ouest, a project developed by the teams of the City of Cannes and the Cannes Lérins Agglomeration, which he presented as being set to become one of the most emblematic in the Paca region. Thomas Onzon presented the data, and then Yann Vari Lécuyer provided the projections. According to Lisnard, the project was intended to better combat flooding while meeting the needs for housing and economic activities and improving the quality of life. The meeting also served to examine the constraints, identify the challenges, and share a vision for future developments in this strategic area. He advocated for a proactive and strategic approach, with a clear framework, appropriate public facilities, and public intervention that is supplementary to that of private owners. #Cannes #DéveloppementDurable #AménagementUrbain (translated)

Weakened associations: regional figures and a national barometer to understand the difficulties, inform local decisions, and support health, prevention, and solidarity actions. Regional Associations – Key Figures and Indicators 2026 » (19th annual edition) Research & Solidarity, with the support of the Ministry of Sports, Youth, and Associative Life, and in cooperation with The Associative Movement Audio Capsules on Health Practices Analysis of Health Practices and link to the source The document presents a state of play intended "for stakeholders, local decision-makers, and all those interested in associative life." It gathers, for each region, recent administrative data on the creation of associations and associative employment, as well as estimates of the number of active associations and volunteers. The tables allow for situating the region in relation to national benchmarks, particularly for employment in health and social sectors. The collection also presents national results from the opinion barometer of association leaders, conducted in spring 2026. In a context of fragility in the associative sector, this collection provides benchmarks to objectify the difficulties and inform dialogue with funders and local decision-makers. In spring 2026, 45% of heads of employing associations find their situation difficult or very difficult, compared to 35% in 2025; 12% are considering reducing their activities after the summer, compared to 8% a year earlier. Beyond the survival of structures, these signals question their capacity to maintain their actions and support, particularly in social, medico-social, and health areas. Regional data allows for situating the weight of the sector in each territory; however, the results on difficulties remain national and describe the situation in spring 2026, not an updated assessment in the fall. #pratiquesensante #VieAssociative #Bénévolat #EmploiAssociatif #EngagementBénévole #ESS #ActionSociale #DonnéesRégionales (translated)

Clément Molin estimated that the war in Ukraine had caused nearly one million deaths among Ukrainian and Russian military personnel. He emphasized that the available counts were partial and that both sides were attempting to hide their losses. According to the figures he presented as verified, the Ukrainian toll amounted to 106,000 dead, 105,000 missing — the majority of whom were likely dead — and 12,000 prisoners of war, totaling approximately 224,000 losses. For Russia, he reported 282,000 dead and at least 70,000 additional deaths by the end of 2025, amounting to about 352,000 losses, while noting that losses for 2026 were almost absent from the counts. Molin cited the work of M0nstas, based on data from Mediazona and Ualosses, indicating that official Ukrainian figures were comparable to Russian losses when considering the changing ratio of killed to wounded. He concluded that Russian losses might actually be between 500,000 and 600,000 dead. For Ukraine, he estimated the toll to be between 300,000 and 400,000 dead, considering this estimate more difficult to reach. He reported that Ualosses faced challenges in obtaining precise data for major cities, Transcarpathia, and the occupied south and east. He added to the death toll the volunteers and foreign mercenaries, Ukrainians from occupied territories conscripted into the Russian army and killed in combat, as well as 2,000 North Koreans killed in Kursk. He also reminded that, in his view, the number of wounded was at least twice that of the dead, and that tens of thousands of people had been amputated on both sides. In this regard, he cited the official Ukrainian figure of 1.5 million military losses. Molin estimated that the total death toll therefore exceeded one million and called for the consideration of psychological trauma, desertions, and demobilized soldiers. He described the war as a "bloodbath" and wrote that each year seemed more deadly than the last. #Ukraine #Guerre #Conflit (translated)
