🚨 REMINDER RIOTS WILL NOW BE INCLUDED IN THE BILL OF POLICYHOLDERS. Starting in 2027, a new contribution of 0.8% will apply to property insurance contracts to help finance compensation for communities in the event of a riot. Additionally, there will be: 💸 €200 million in surtax on auto insurance 💸 An increase in the "attack tax" from €6.50 to €8.50 per year 💸 Several additional levies aimed primarily at fires and compensation for victims of terrorism. According to the DG of Macif quoted by Le Monde, taxation already represents the equivalent of about two months of premium on health, auto, and home insurance contracts.

Here is where the so-called "revolution" promised by Jean-Luc Mélenchon leads: this morning, we are once again witnessing fires at places of study throughout France, and violence against educational staff and law enforcement. I propose that the bill for the damages, which will amount to millions of euros, be shared among the families of the arsonists and the party that incites them to chaos: La France insoumise. This seditious party, which leads some young people into a terrible dead end, must be reminded of its responsibilities. (translated)

In an extremely interesting post, @paul_amar2 recalls article L. 212-1 of the internal security code. This text allows for the dissolution, by decree in the Council of Ministers, of an association or grouping whose actions jeopardize the republican form of government, provoke violence, or incite hatred. Case law has confirmed that a political party is not exempt from this. For the journalist, La France insoumise fits well within this framework. Personally, I wonder, why such leniency from the executive? Can LFI be of service? Chaos would benefit the Insoumis less than those who fear the verdict of the ballots. (translated)

🚨🚨 THE CALL OF THE BALLON D'OR 🌕 IN 2018 LEFT LUKA MODRIC 🇭🇷 SPEECHLESS AND IN TEARS (the day he learned in private that his life was about to change…). 🥹 Pascal Ferré, the person in charge of the trophy at the time, TELLS 👇 : 🗣️ “I had the chance to visit the 4-5 major favorites before the Ballon d'Or 🌕 to tell them how it would go if they won: Antoine GRIEZMANN 🇫🇷 took this visit as a sign of a likely victory, which is understandable… As soon as the results were known, I called Luka MODRIC 🇭🇷 WHO DID NOT ANSWER. He called me back 5-6 minutes later, and I said, "Welcome to the big family of Ballon d'Or." SILENCE. NOBODY ON THE LINE: I thought the line had cut off… 😳 I HEARD TEARS 🥹 then he composed himself asking if it was really true… a few days later when I went to see him for the interview, he said, "I need to confide in you": 👉 The day you called me when I didn’t answer, I WASN’T BUSY I SAW THE CALL AND I KNEW WHAT YOU WERE GOING TO TELL ME: I WAS OVERCOME WITH EMOTIONS AND UNABLE TO ANSWER… 🥹🥹🥹” (translated)

I wanted to remain sober at first and not speak, but I have thought a lot about Malek since the announcement of his passing, and I told myself that it was a good thing to pay tribute to him. I met him on a TeamSpeak we called "TS Netteux" back in the day, over 10 years ago now. It was a TS where almost the entire French subtop scene of the early CS:GO was present. I still don't know how I ended up there since I was just a guy who played on FACEIT and had never played as a team. I found myself with pros and semi-pros from the scene, and I was so happy to be with those guys and to be able to play with them. My only obsession was for one of them to give me a chance to play with them as a team. There were several young players in the same situation on the TS, we had no concept of team play, we only thought about individual skill and making highlights to impress the subtop players. I remember one day when Malek had us join a server, with other guys like me who were hanging around on the TS. We were on Dust2, and he was telling us to imagine a line that divides the map in two, the bombsite A and the bombsite B, and that the goal as terrorists was to go to the bombsite where there were the least CTs. He also made comments about our approach to the game: "You only think about shooting and getting kills, but in a round, the time you spend shooting an enemy is 2 seconds. You put all your attention on those 2 seconds, but what are you doing for the next 1 minute and 40 seconds, and what can you do to help your team win the round?" He was teaching us the basics of team play, and we listened to him attentively. I had the opportunity to run into him at LANs from time to time and chat a bit with him. We weren't particularly close, but the exchanges were always fascinating and very direct with him. I think he wanted to be validated by his peers, like all of us, the players and more broadly, the actors of the CS scene in France. And it's true that having a track record helps a lot to obtain that validation, but I think it's important to value his work, and more broadly the work of passionate people in the scene, whether they have a track record or have done great things in the competitive scene or not. Rest in peace, Malek. (translated)

It's shameful and unbearable! Who does this LFI deputy in Lille think he is? Aurélien Le Coq, your tricolor scarf is neither a totem of immunity nor a privilege! You are obstructing a police operation against thugs. Remember that you have no authority over these police officers, NONE AT ALL! Your mandate imposes a duty of exemplary conduct, not the right to obstruct law enforcement! (translated)

"Pourquoi on fait ça? Ce n'est pas de la gaieté de cœur, je rappelle que l'enjeu c'est de restaurer les comptes de ce pays, dont les déficits, dérapent, dont la dette s'envole.
