Théo Laubry stated that the building in question was not just an urban facility, but a 150-year-old monument, classified as a heritage site in France, whose disappearance also erased an important place of Belgian resistance during World War II. According to him, the town hall of Limoges hosted the Belgian parliament in exile in May 1940, after the capitulation of Leopold III to Nazi Germany, making the city the political capital of free Belgium. He added that the parliamentarians voted there to suspend royal power, a decision that would lead to the king's abdication after the war. Théo Laubry also recalled that residents of Limoges contributed in 2015 several tens, if not hundreds of thousands of euros, to the renovation of the building, and called its disappearance disgusting. #Patrimoine #Histoire #Résistance (translated)

Roman Giertych criticized Karol Nawrocki for announcing that Maciej Berek is not a judge. He believed that such a position showed how Nawrocki and his surroundings understood presidential powers: as the right to ultimately approve individuals appointed to positions or taking an oath. Giertych assessed that the consolidation of such an interpretation could lead to an actual dictatorship or absolute monarchy. He argued that the president could then refuse to sign a law despite a veto override or appoint a prime minister chosen by the Sejm. He reminded that according to the Constitution, the president must sign the law within 7 days of the veto override, and Article 154 provides for the appointment of a prime minister elected by the Sejm and ministers at his request. He also pointed out that a two-thirds majority is needed for impeachment. As a hypothetical example, he cited a situation in which, after the victory of the Civic Coalition and its majority, Mateusz Morawiecki would become prime minister, and Nawrocki would later refuse to appoint Donald Tusk chosen by the Sejm. Giertych also claimed that according to such an interpretation, judges, officers, generals, and ambassadors could not be appointed or professorships, citizenship, or honors granted without the president's consent. He defined the dispute surrounding the Constitutional Tribunal as a conflict over whether after the 2027 elections the government will designate the Sejm or Nawrocki. He warned the president that the interpretation he was pushing would mean changing the Constitution without following proper procedures and could lead to a coup against the Constitutional Tribunal and create grounds for undermining the government. He added that who will govern after 2027 will be decided by Poles in the general elections in the fall of next year. According to Giertych, Nawrocki's stance could exacerbate social relations and even lead to violence, for which the president would bear responsibility. #Polska #Konstytucja #Demokracja (translated)

I don’t agree In France, all the protests that have succeeded have gone through violence. Just because the government wants to make us feel guilty doesn’t mean we should listen to them lol If the French of 1789 thought like them, we would still be under monarchy lol #France #Manif #Histoire (translated)

Depuis son bunker institutionnel élyséen, sans débat parlementaire préalable et au prétexte de l'urgence pétrolière, Emmanuel Macron décide seul l'envoi de soldats et de moyens militaires français pour défendre la monarchie saoudienne. Irresponsable. https://t.co/CWXxKWIrvq #Macron #InterventionMilitaire #Irresponsabilité #FR #SA
