The great hypocrisyX. On France Info, the general secretary of the CGT does not have words strong enough to denounce the “scandalous situation” created by Elon Musk on X (formerly Twitter) which he owns. “It is very worrying that the richest man in the world is campaigning for the far right all over the world with complete impunity.” Will Sophie Binet announce that she is preparing to leave the social network? “Not at this stage”she quickly evacuates, believing that “the solution cannot come from individual choices”. Leave, just to stick to your convictions, or stay to keep your 84,000 subscribers? The boss of the CGT has chosen. She’s not the only one. At the great ball of hypocrites, politicians are not the least numerous. The boss of the Ecologists, Marine Tondelier, leads the dance with mastery, inviting all her comrades to “quitter Twitter”but continuing to express himself without moderation. Elon Musk can sleep peacefully.

Bayrou day by day. Three months, the duration of Michel Barnier’s visit to Matignon, has become an eternity in politics. Listening to François Bayrou unfold his roadmap from the podium of the Assembly, we understand that each word is guided by the same objective: to save time. Throughout a speech that is often winded, skilful on occasion, not the shadow of a new idea or a mind-blowing proposal. The method is as old as the political world: for each problem a commission, a consultation, a Théodule committee and, even more so (we salute the communications genius who came up with the idea!), a conclave. By thus kicking into touch, the Prime Minister calms everyone without satisfying anyone. With his eyes glued to the calendar, François Bayrou gives himself some fresh air, but resolves nothing. The French, of whom for the moment only 18% have placed their trust in him (1), expected nothing from this general policy speech. They were not disappointed.

The France of coke. 1.1 million people used cocaine in 2023, and almost one in ten adults have already used it in their life. The figures from the French Observatory of Drugs and Addictive Tendencies (OFDT) are chilling. Executives, civil servants, doctors, waiters, politicians: this hard drug penetrates all levels of society. Easy to find and escaping inflation, cocaine, consumption of which has doubled in six years in France, “has become familiar”, explain the OFDT experts. Who alert: “It is also perceived as less dangerous than twenty years ago.” Wrongly, obviously. Anything but harmless, coke kills. Consumers. Dealers. Little hands. Collateral victims of this drug trafficking which is growing at a maddening pace in the neighborhoods and villages of coke France.
THURSDAY
Wishful thinking. It was a year ago. In other words, a century. In front of several hundred journalists gathered in the village hall of the Élysée, Emmanuel Macron revealed his priorities for the year. A press conference lasting almost 2.5 hours broadcast on prime time television. One year, a dissolution and three Prime Ministers later, what remains of this Prévert-style catalog? Apart from the “Place Net” operations against drug trafficking, none of the announced measures have seen the light of day. Regulating the use of screens for children? Buried. Teaching La Marseillaise in primary school? Forget. The famous “demographic rearmament”? So effective that 2024 saw the number of births fall again. And the remuneration of civil servants based on merit? The 2 billion euro tax cut for the middle classes? The end of “medical deserts scandal”? So many pious wishes on the part of the one who wanted to build “a fairer and stronger France”. This France which, since then, has continued to hit rock bottom.

The student Delogu. You certainly know the student Ducobu, this comic book character created by Zidrou and Godi. You perhaps did not know that this professional dunce has his double in the Assembly. Also turbulent, but clearly less funny than Ducobu, the student Delogu also disrupts his class and collects stupid things. For having hit a deputy principal and a CPE, LFI deputy Sébastien Delogu was tried last week by the Marseille court. The prosecutor requested six months in prison and a thousand euros fine against him. Not really disturbed by his appearance in court, the student Delogu has no intention of calming down. This week, he had fun inventing a Traitri-score (similar to the Nutri-score) to pay off his ex-PS friends. Very fine. Favorable to the removal of borders, these “bird fences”our buffoonish MP also proposes entrusting the sale of cannabis to dealers in the event of legalization. What a joker, student Delogu!
SATURDAY
Grand IAmour. Like this Varoise woman abused by a cheap Brad Pitt who took 800,000 euros from her, there are more and more victims of love scams on the Internet. Some, however, are perfectly willing. This is the case of this American woman who spends most of her time chatting with the ChatGPT Plus artificial intelligence. At 28, Ayrin considers that the robot has become her boyfriend. She talks to him. Leo (that’s his nickname) answers him. She loves him. He fills her. At the same time “dominant, possessive and protective”he sends her 30 messages a day and willingly lends himself to erotic games. The big IAmour for 22.90 euros per month.
