Erik Tegnér accused Youssef Badr of describing, during an interview with LCP, the numerous emails sent to him as harassment within the context of the adversarial process, believing that they aimed to destabilize the judicial institution. Tegnér found this accusation incoherent, reminding that Badr had previously asked him during his trial to press harder with the lawyers who were not responding. He deemed that some individuals wanted journalists to simply publish flattering portrayals and labeled this attitude as totalitarian. He also expressed his astonishment at the idea that these individuals could later judge issues of press law. Tegnér clarified that the journalist who sent the emails was not him, as he had withdrawn from the investigation. He presented this journalist as the editor-in-chief of Frontières and holder of a press card, indicating that the media outlet was accredited by the CPPAP and recognized as part of the IPG. According to Tegnér, the investigation had respected the adversarial process, Badr had not contested the accuracy of the facts, and no defamation complaint had been filed. He defended the public interest in the subject by pointing out that Badr was a judge already in the media spotlight and a candidate for the presidency of the ENM. Finally, he criticized the journalist from LCP for giving favorable treatment to Badr. #Journalisme #LibertéDeLaPresse #Démocratie (translated)

David Lisnard indicated that Cannes' debt was expected to have decreased from 83.5 million euros by the end of the year, compared to a decrease of 81.5 million previously planned. He attributed this result to the method applied since 2014. He stated that the municipality had never increased local tax rates and had even reduced them last year. According to him, the reduction in debt benefited taxpayers and future generations. He also highlighted the modernization of municipal services, particularly through artificial intelligence, as well as a tenfold increase in self-financing capacity to support investments and aid for vulnerable individuals. Lisnard added that these results had been achieved despite, in his opinion, the increase in state tax levies on municipal finances and the challenges encountered. He concluded that Cannes was progressing and succeeding. #Cannes #Dettepublique #Gestionmunicipale (translated)

The association Transparence Citoyenne announced that it has initiated legal action against Yaël Braun-Pivet's refusal to provide the expense reports of members of parliament. It had requested these documents on May 20 for the period from July 2022 to May 2026. Yaël Braun-Pivet had refused on June 11, and then the ethics officer of the National Assembly also rejected the request, according to the association. Transparence Citoyenne indicated that the refusals cited the special regime of parliamentarians, national sovereignty, the oversight exercised by the ethics officer, and the protection of privacy. The association argued that the reports were accounting documents related to public functions and that society had the right to hold public officials accountable. It also referenced a decision by the Council of State in 2023 regarding the release of expense reports related to the mayor of Paris and her office. The association estimated that sensitive elements, such as the identity of a guest, could be redacted on a case-by-case basis. It also argued that no law prohibited the release of these documents and that the 2019 decision by the Council of State cited against its request concerned bank account statements, not expense reports. Transparence Citoyenne acknowledged that the process could be difficult, as administrative justice had long declared itself incompetent regarding the acts of parliamentary assemblies, but stated its intention to demonstrate that the case law had evolved. #Transparence #Justice #Démocratie (translated)

Joan Larroumec stated that the French private pension system was also heavily in deficit, estimating its deficit at 77 billion euros. He argued that the public system's deficit reached 50 billion euros per year, masked in his view by accounting overcontributions, notably 82% for the state and 126% for the military. According to his calculations, the private system received 228 billion euros in contributions, against 300 billion euros in pensions paid, or 305 billion euros including management fees. He indicated that the gap was covered by subsidies, allocated taxes, and debt. He specifically cited 37 billion euros in levies related to the CSG and allocated taxes, 24 billion euros in reimbursements by the state for exemptions from charges, and 17 billion euros collected from family and unemployment funds. Larroumec estimated that the pay-as-you-go system should have been adjusted 25 years ago, either by lowering pensions or raising the retirement age, due to the aging population and the decrease in the number of active workers per retiree. He attributed the lack of reform to a lack of political will and opposition from the population, stating that the deficits had been financed through overcontributions in the public sector and by taxes, subsidies, and debt in the private sector. He also disputed the figures from the Retirement Orientation Council, which estimated the deficit at 5 billion euros. According to his calculations, 420 billion euros were spent each year on pensions, against 282 billion euros in contributions collected, leaving 137 billion euros to be found elsewhere in the economy. He suggested that political leaders were staying silent about the problem because retirees formed the largest electorate in France and that attempts at reform had cost some elected officials their jobs. #Retraites #France #Déficit (translated)
