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 Tegnér clarified that the journalist who sent the emails was not him, as he had withdrawn from the investigation.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)

David Rangl shared part of the speech by writer Radka Denemarková at the opening of the Frankfurt Book Fair, where Czech Republic was the guest of honor, and urged people to read. In her speech, Denemarková stated that, in her opinion, one cannot separate politics from literature at a time when Europe is heading towards authoritarianism, the power ambitions of individuals can plunge a state into chaos, and two former collaborators of the communist State Security are part of the Czech government. According to her, democracy has been limited by society to business and economic pragmatism. She also mentioned the threat that continental China poses to free Taiwan, the defense of Ukrainian freedom at the cost of many human lives, and the normalization of new fascisms, totalitarianisms, and genocides. #literatura #politika #Frankfurtskýknižníveletrh (translated)

Democracy Didi criticized that the Federal Republic is not drawing the right conclusions from its recent history with two totalitarian regimes. He pointed to what he sees as contradictory restrictions on freedom of opinion and assembly, such as police visits due to a wrongly circulated post or bans on gatherings due to the risk of a cold. He also contrasted the rejection of the Gestapo and Stasi with the existence of a domestic intelligence service and criticized restrictions on same-sex expressions of affection in public. He cited the conflict between property rights and social housing needs, as well as the potential closeness of prosecutors to a Minister of the Interior as further examples. Given German history, he wrote, this makes no sense to him. #Meinungsfreiheit #Grundrechte #Totalitarismus (translated)

Lulism has discovered that the Christian voter doesn't swallow fake news and is now trying to divide Catholics and evangelicals. Dino and the PT machine play dirty with the faith of others. The decent Brazilian reacts because they know that the left only respects religion when it can be instrumentalized. Religious freedom is not a detail: it is a brake on the cultural totalitarianism that the PT has promoted for decades. #LiberdadeReligiosa #Eleições2024 #Fakenews (translated)

Vastalääke on juuri sitä mitä Elina tekee, eli puhuu totta julkisesti ja omalla naamalla. Hissuttelu vie totalitarismiin, rohkeus vie vapauteen. Niin yksinkertaista on tämä peli.
