Le Chiffre estimated that French law deemed 16-year-olds sufficiently capable of discernment to emancipate, marry, enter into a contract or a will, be imprisoned, work, and drive a car, but not to vote. He asserted that, in his opinion, there was no argument for this exclusion other than contempt for young people. #Démocratie #Jeunesse #Voter (translated)

The author of the message advocated for lowering the voting age to 16.

Chicago Boy wrote that he dined the night before with a right-wing advisor to Lecornu, whom he described as profoundly disillusioned by the exercise of Macronist power. According to this interlocutor's assessment, the failure of Macronism was attributed to the political origins of its leaders, most of whom came from the left, particularly the Socialist Party, the Rocardian movement, or the CFDT, and were influenced by its values. Chicago Boy believed that this legacy led Macronist leaders to only half-heartedly pursue right-wing policies. He cited the replacement of the ISF with an IFI, which he deemed almost as counterproductive, the numerous exceptions to the pension reform that would have limited savings before it was suspended, as well as the promise to eliminate 100,000 public sector jobs, whereas their number had actually increased by 200,000. He concluded that one should never vote for the soft center. #Macronisme #PolitiqueFrançaise #GaucheDroite (translated)

Wolf recounted that Serge Juillard was returning home on January 7, 2009, when a snow-related traffic jam slowed him down in the Barbière area of Avignon. According to his account, young people were throwing snowballs containing stones at the cars. After a collision, Juillard allegedly went out to check the damage, then about ten youths insulted and violently attacked him. Wolf indicated that they notably pulled down his pants, struck him in the genital area, filled his mouth with snow, and hit him with a metal bar, the first blow reportedly hitting his head. He also reported that Juillard described being held by his arms and legs, saying they "crucified" him. The post indicated that in March 2013, Juillard was in a wheelchair and taking morphine for seizures and pain.
