200 million euros of discrepancy (which will depend on consultations with stakeholders and parliamentary discussions, editor's note), for us it's a lot. If the "promise" reflects an "awareness" from the executive, it is still too vague, commented Arnaud Rousseau. #Agriculture #PAC #FNSEA (translated)

Pierre Poilievre stated that Mark Carney should have known it would be difficult to negotiate with Donald Trump before promising, during the election campaign, to reach a good deal with the United States. He accused Carney of breaking that promise, claiming that American tariffs had more than doubled and affected more businesses since he took office. According to Poilievre, Carney was elected by promising to manage Trump, but the situation had worsened. He added that Canadians could not live on rhetoric or pay their rent with what he called political theater, and called for results. #Trump #Canada #Accords (translated)

Cerfia stated that France had nearly 100,000 articles of law and 268,000 regulatory texts in force, totaling more than 51 million words. Citing figures from the government's general secretariat, the account indicated that the number of articles of law had increased by more than 65% in 20 years and that of regulatory texts by more than 50%. According to Cerfia, 33,815 texts were published in the Official Journal in 2025 and 62 laws were enacted, compared to 39 the previous year. French law would thus have gained more than a million words in a year. The account added that no year in the past two decades had seen a decline, let alone stagnation, in the number of regulations in force, and that the rule requiring the elimination or simplification of two regulations for each new regulatory standard remained largely unenforced. Cerfia estimated that this accumulation complicated administrative procedures and particularly impacted businesses, farmers, and local authorities. The account cited articles and the book by Christophe Eoche-Duval, *L’inflation normative*, published by Plon in 2024. #Droit #Normes #InflationNormative (translated)

According to him, the choice was not to let this budget go through. #Budget2023 #Inégalités #Politique (translated)
