Transparence Citoyenne announced that it was contesting before the administrative court of Paris the refusal of Gérard Larcher to provide the expense reports of the senators. The organization stated that it had sent its request to the president of the Senate in May, and then received a refusal in June. A new request sent to the Senate's ethics committee reportedly went unanswered. According to Transparence Citoyenne, Gérard Larcher justified his refusal by invoking a regime distinct from other administrations, the confidentiality provided by the internal regulations of the Senate, the status of senator — referring to a decision of the Council of State from 2019 — and the respect for the privacy of the senators. #Transparence #Justice #Sénat (translated)

Mathilde Panot asked Jean-Noël Barrot if he was bothered by her reaction, which she called shameful. She saw it as an admission that he did not control the delivery of military equipment to Israel. She praised the revelations from journalists and unions, believing that the French should know what their country was sending to the Israeli government, which she described as genocidal. #Israël #Génocide #Transparence (translated)

Gabriel Hardy wrote that 11 years of liberal power, two prime ministers, ethical scandals, and billions of dollars had left many questions unanswered. He mentioned the scandals that occurred under Justin Trudeau and believed that Mark Carney's financial ties to Brookfield, as well as his government's decisions, raised serious questions. Hardy added that the requests for explanations seemed to disturb and defended the right to seek more transparency. He argued that Canada was not a private company, that the prime minister did not own it, and that public money was not a blank check. He indicated that he had gathered facts, testimonies, and documents in a new text on Substack, and invited his readers to form their own opinion. He also asked them if they felt that sufficient measures were being taken to protect democracy. #Démocratie #Politique #Transparence (translated)

The association Transparence Citoyenne announced that it has initiated legal action against Yaël Braun-Pivet's refusal to provide the expense reports of members of parliament. It had requested these documents on May 20 for the period from July 2022 to May 2026. Yaël Braun-Pivet had refused on June 11, and then the ethics officer of the National Assembly also rejected the request, according to the association. Transparence Citoyenne indicated that the refusals cited the special regime of parliamentarians, national sovereignty, the oversight exercised by the ethics officer, and the protection of privacy. The association argued that the reports were accounting documents related to public functions and that society had the right to hold public officials accountable. It also referenced a decision by the Council of State in 2023 regarding the release of expense reports related to the mayor of Paris and her office. The association estimated that sensitive elements, such as the identity of a guest, could be redacted on a case-by-case basis. It also argued that no law prohibited the release of these documents and that the 2019 decision by the Council of State cited against its request concerned bank account statements, not expense reports. Transparence Citoyenne acknowledged that the process could be difficult, as administrative justice had long declared itself incompetent regarding the acts of parliamentary assemblies, but stated its intention to demonstrate that the case law had evolved. #Transparence #Justice #Démocratie (translated)

Patrick Champagnac wrote that he read in Le Canard enchaîné that Caroline Roux specified, in L’Heure de vérité, that the economist Thomas Porcher, who had questioned Édouard Philippe, was collaborating with Radio Nova, owned by Mathieu Pigasse. He asked why she had not also mentioned, in his opinion, that the Dassault family owned Le Figaro and that the Dassault defense group employed Eugénie Bastié, whom he characterized as a far-right journalist and presented as the next interviewer. He questioned the selective nature of the program. #Presidentielle2017 #Medias #Transparence #Politique (translated)

Patrick Champagnac called for an investigation into the socialist primary in order to find out, according to him, the identity and origin of the voters. He contested the use of electronic voting, which he considered unreliable and controversial, and stated that it offered no traceability or authentication of voters, including those who voted from abroad. He also mentioned information suggesting that 90,000 "ghost voters" were not members of the Socialist Party. He believed that this lack of transparency harmed democracy and the image of France. He also raised the possibility of manipulation aimed at designating Raphaël Glucksmann as the sole social-democratic candidate capable of blocking Marine Le Pen and Jean-Luc Mélenchon. If such an operation had taken place, he wrote, the French people would have the right to know the responsible parties and participants. Patrick Champagnac finally stated that foreign interference from Russia or Israel had already targeted electoral campaigns in France, sometimes, according to him, with the discreet support of certain communities. #Presidentielle2027 #Democratie #Election #France (translated)
