French democracy is very sick. Petitions that reached more than 500,000 signatures were not followed by debates in the National Assembly. This was the case for the petitions against the Duplomb law and the "permit to kill" law. The result of the 2024 legislative elections has not been respected. They say to respect democracy. We do, but not them! With us, the people will regain their power. We will implement the citizen initiative referendum and the recall referendum. (translated)
After their last C1 win and the arrival of Mbappe that was taking shape, he was convinced that Barça was FINISHED to the point where he considered his Super League by getting cozy with Laporta with his speech at the time “we need a competitive Barça” strangely Negreira did not exist at that moment 😂 In his head, there was absolutely NO scenario where his team would collapse after Mbappe's arrival and in the other direction Barça would become strong again Result? A 3rd blank season on the horizon. This has the consequence not only of putting obstacles in the way of his SAD project that he wanted to implement for a long time but even worse…his risk of resignation that has been looming since last season Last resort then? Negreira but the clock is ticking old man…Laporta will make you resign for the 2nd time. (translated)

🏆 Two new victories! I discover by reading the budget that the government is going to: 1️⃣ Cut development aid by 2 billion euros. 2️⃣ Eliminate 400 positions at France Travail and reduce its funding. Since I started these battles against the waste of France Travail and public development aid alongside you, we have forced the government to cut these expenses. That's a lot of money we'll stop stealing from the French. This is just the beginning. We will go much further by eliminating them. But if we achieve such results in opposition, imagine what we could do in power! (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)
🔴 We know more about the tensions between Esteban Ocon and Haas since last season, according to @wearetherace! 🔍 Haas has gradually blamed the Frenchman for not taking enough responsibility for his difficulties, becoming defensive when the results were not forthcoming. Despite a collective effort at the beginning of 2026 to better align Ocon and his side of the garage, tensions reportedly resurfaced with the team's struggles. Haas finds him too combative internally, questioning the specifications of the cars and the performance gaps with Bearman, while exploring what are deemed futile adjustment avenues. For his part, Ocon would simply feel he is being frank and demanding to help the team progress, as requested upon his arrival. Haas would therefore be turning against him what it initially expected from him. Upon returning from the summer break, Komatsu would have informed him that he had little chance of being retained. Given his results at that moment, Haas felt it could no longer justify his multi-million dollar salary. However, money would have played a secondary role in the choice of his replacement: if Haas were to prioritize only finances and marketing, Hirakawa would be the obvious choice, according to the British media 💰 #F1 (translated)
Cristiano Ronaldo is right in this story with Jorge Jesus. You’re there, you want to take your international retirement after the World Cup, going out like that. And the federation comes to talk to you, the new coach too. They support you, say they want to build with you. They specify that you are important, for the Portuguese people, for sales, for THE GAME. And you believe it. You have meetings, Jorge Jesus explains to you that you won't be a starter in every match, that sometimes you won’t play. And you accept it. In one of the very first matches, he doesn't keep his word. You don’t come in. And in the next conference, they tell you that the game plans have changed, without having talked to you beforehand. And worse, after promising you that you would play. I find it strange. Cristiano Ronaldo said it himself, no matter if he plays or not. But it has to be clear. You tell him he will come in, only to not come in at all... I hope all this is just false stories, mixed up from everywhere to once again speak poorly of the Seleção, unfortunately, Portuguese journalists love to criticize our national team, and that has been going on for a long, long time. Cristiano Ronaldo has always been the golden goose for their marketing, no matter the influence it directly has on the team’s results, and that’s so sad. I hope we end up European champions and especially world champions with Jorge Jesus. Even if it means leaving Cristiano Ronaldo out. But the way it’s going, I don't believe it at all. Management starts by telling the truths. I hope this isn’t the end of Cristiano Ronaldo’s international career, or at least that it doesn’t end directly like this. At least one farewell match, not like this rushed, in trouble and solitude. That would be shameful. (translated)
