It is hardly bearable what the creators of the film Naza have seen and heard. Looking at those two people in #buitenhof, I realize that their lives are also not secure. What heroes.

The author criticized Dubyna's post, accusing him of misrepresenting the division of powers, the competences of the Council of Ministers, the rulings of the Constitutional Tribunal, and the concept of a coup d'état. He wrote that the appointed team analyzing the systemic effects of the court and tribunal rulings did not seize judicial power and had no authority to overturn judgments, change decision-making panels, or issue orders to judges. The author stated that Dubyna referred to Article 190 of the Constitution while omitting the difference between the finality of Constitutional Tribunal rulings and the analysis of their legal effects. He also accused him of failing to take into account the rulings of the European Court of Human Rights in the case of Xero Flor v. Poland and the Court of Justice of the European Union in case C-448/23, which — as he wrote — concerned fundamental irregularities in the functioning of the Polish Constitutional Tribunal. The author considered the designation of the appointment of the government analytical team as a coup d'état to be a manifestation of a misunderstanding of the principles of state functioning. He also criticized the comparison of the situation to a totalitarian system, stating that it was historically unfounded and offensive to those repressed by the communist state. He added that the use of capital letters and exclamation marks did not lend any legal or intellectual value to the statements. #prawo #konstytucja #Polska (translated)
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 Tegnér clarified that the journalist who sent the emails was not him, as he had withdrawn from the investigation.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)

The French Mileistes reported having long seen comments accusing David Lisnard of being particularly repressive during the Covid crisis. Living on the Côte d'Azur and working in Cannes, the author stated that he went to the city every day outside of confinement periods and was then worried about what he perceived as an authoritarian drift justified by health reasons. The author explained that Lisnard, the mayor of Cannes, had not convinced him at first. However, he remembered a piece by the mayor published in Le Figaro during the crisis, where he, according to his account, criticized bureaucracy, cited Tocqueville, and denounced the constraints related to movement certificates. This stance gave him moral support while he read authors from the Austrian School of economics and worried about freedoms. The French Mileistes also reported that a bookstore in Cannes, located near their office, had remained open despite the bans and had garnered attention in the national press. According to the author, Lisnard had publicly supported it, went there to buy a book, and asked Roselyne Bachelot to stop its forced closure by the National Police, without success. The author described him as one of the few elected officials to openly defend this type of local resistance and indicated that he had also accused Emmanuel Macron of using the vaccination pass for political purposes. The author acknowledged that Lisnard had also had beaches sprayed with hydrogen peroxide and actively supported vaccination. He believed that the mayor had favored targeted, anticipated, and local measures rather than general restrictions, and presented the Covid period as proof of his courage and sincerity. He concluded that he would not forget that Lisnard had, in his opinion, defended freedoms while almost all other elected officials turned away from them. #Liberté #Politique #CôteDAzur (translated)

Rachele had asked the organizers of Zcore whether the people involved in the groups where Zeudi and the Zeudiners were insulted had been removed or would be. She said she had asked for clarification several times, even privately, without receiving a clear answer, and criticized the absence of a public stance. According to Rachele, clarifying the matter would have been a sign of respect toward those who supported the event and the charity despite the insults. She also stated that, after some research, it seemed to her that the project had distanced itself from Zeudi and her fandom, while still involving them when participation was needed. She demanded consistency and respect for those participating in the project. Rachele finally noted that in the acknowledgments published by the organizers, the Zeudiners were not mentioned, which she claimed constituted almost all the people present and had trusted the project and supported the charity. #rispetto #coerenza #trasparenza (translated)
