The French Mileists contested information that they claim was relayed by Le Canard enchaîné and several accounts on X, alleging that accounts linked to David Lisnard's campaign had bet on Polymarket to artificially inflate his chances. They stated that the bets against Lisnard were, on the contrary, very concentrated on a single account named LLamaLoco, which reportedly wagered more than 420,000 dollars against him. The largest bet in favor of Lisnard was said to be 18,000 dollars, which, according to them, represents a ratio of 25 to 1 in amount and 2.5 to 1 in the number of shares bought. They added that LLamaLoco also wagered 200,000 dollars against Marine Le Pen and 28,000 dollars on a victory for Jean-Luc Mélenchon, and that Lisnard and Le Pen represented 70% of the current positions of the account on Polymarket. The account allegedly continued to bet against Lisnard and had been active for some time. The French Mileists stated that they do not draw any conspiracy-like conclusions from these elements but believe that, without these bets, Lisnard would be even higher. Finally, they indicated that Polymarket, on its site reserved for American citizens, estimated his chances of winning at 16%. #Politique #DavidLisnard #Polymarket (translated)

Alex_politics calculated that applying the rates proposed by Figaredo to personal income tax would reduce state revenue by nearly 100 billion euros a year, an amount that, as he wrote, was practically equivalent to all healthcare spending. He estimated that someone with a gross salary of 1,500 euros per month would save 376 euros a year in taxes, while a person earning 100,000 euros would save almost 19,000. He also argued that, in a mixed model of healthcare and pensions, a basic health insurance would cost about 100 euros per month and would require paying the first 1,600 euros annually before receiving coverage. He added that matching a public pension with a private plan would require contributions between 250 and 420 euros per month. According to his calculations, incomes of up to 50,000 euros would lose between 3,500 and 5,500 euros annually in purchasing power, and the state would stop collecting nearly 6% of GDP. Alex_politics concluded that, in his opinion, the main beneficiaries would be the rich. #IRPF #Sanidad #Economía (translated)
