Bally Bagayoko explained that his group abstained during the vote on a wish presented by the opposition elected officials from the Socialist, Environmentalists, and Citizens group at the municipal council. The text focused on the protection of girls and women against excision and female genital mutilation, as well as the adoption of a comprehensive law against sexist and sexual violence (SSV). He said that his group supported the fight against mutilations and reminded that nearly 500 patients received follow-up each year in the municipality. He also praised the work of the Women's House, Delafontaine Hospital, and various associations, and asked the State to strengthen the resources allocated for prevention and medical follow-up. According to Bally Bagayoko, the abstention concerned the request to quickly adopt the law on SSV. He indicated that the bill had been significantly amended in committee at the National Assembly the week of the municipal council, and its content remained uncertain. His group had asked to remove references to this law from the wish in order to be able to vote in favor of the text on the fight against excision, but the opposition had refused, he wrote. He believed that this refusal had hindered the pursuit of an agreement and denounced a political instrumentalization of the issue. The group ultimately abstained in order not to block the wish, which was adopted, while not supporting all of its content, he noted. #Excision #DroitsDesFemmes #LutteContreLesViolences (translated)

Alexandre Jardin called for the dismissal of deputies who, according to him, were quietly proposing amendments aimed at increasing taxes. He stated that taxpayers were at their breaking point and that the country was already the most taxed in the world, citing François Hollande as one of the responsible parties he pointed out. He also argued that high-ranking officials elected to lead parties that favored tax increases lived off public spending and had a fundamentally taxing approach. According to him, citizens found themselves in an impossible situation because they had handed over the keys to power. He finally concluded that, without RefCitoyen, they would remain defenseless. #Taxes #Politique #France (translated)

As the chairman of the committee, the rebellious Eric Coquerel denounced the common votes of the central bloc and the RN-UDR alliance, particularly "on the issue of inheritances, legacies (...) one of the great scandals of inequalities." #Budget2027 #PolitiqueFrançaise #AssembléeNationale (translated)

Dividend King described a climate he deemed particularly negative in France. He wrote that the entrepreneurs he knew were considering leaving, although many, in his view, would not follow through. He also indicated that the tax advisors and wealth managers he spoke with received numerous requests for expatriation from their clients, a trend that had supposedly increased since the dissolution of the Assembly and would accelerate as the presidential election approached. He specified that these clients held fortunes in the range of 7, 8, or 9 figures. The author added that many university students he had recently discussed with wanted to start their professional lives abroad, even if not all would realize this project. In the stock market, he estimated that French investors were increasingly turning away from companies in the CAC 40 in favor of global or American markets, and that the recent performance of these markets justified their decisions. He finally said he had never observed, in his lifetime, such a negative sentiment at so many levels and expected the trend to continue. #entrepreneuriat #expatriation #france (translated)

Joan Larroumec presented the tensions between France and Germany as a result of increasing competition, particularly in the defense industry. He indicated that Berlin planned military spending of €108 billion in 2026, compared to €57 billion for Paris, and nearly €140 billion in 2027. According to him, Germany was seeking to use these expenditures as a lever for economic transformation, while its historical industrial model was weakened. Larroumec notably cited the decline in German exports to China, which he claimed fell from €106 billion in 2022 to €81 billion in 2025, as well as a reduction of 142,400 jobs in the German automotive industry since 2019. He also wrote that German defense start-ups had received $3.5 billion in investments in 2026, compared to $375 million in France, and that Berlin had concluded a framework agreement with Helsing and Stark that could reach €4.3 billion. He estimated that this strategy heightened rivalries between the two countries and jeopardized their joint programs. He reported that Paris and Berlin acknowledged on June 8 that the SCAF could not be successfully executed, and that the Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces announced Germany's abandonment of the MGCS tank program. He also mentioned competition in drones, artificial intelligence, and space, where, according to him, Germany was seeking to reduce France's position. Finally, Larroumec argued that France's financial difficulties limited its ability to invest in defense and risked weakening its industry. He stated that French and German interests were becoming increasingly misaligned and that this situation could lead to chaotic episodes in Europe. #France #Allemagne #Défense (translated)

Alexandre Jardin stated that amendments prevented the National Assembly from completing the examination of a bill aimed at abolishing low emission zones (ZFE) on Thursday, October 8, and therefore from proceeding to the final vote. He cited amendment no. 7, submitted by Lisa Belluco and co-signed by 35 other deputies, which proposed to remove the sole article of the text. Jardin believed that this obstruction contributed to the continued exclusion of poor people from major cities amid a social crisis. He also wrote that the French had not been able to vote on the abolition of the ZFE, a vote he said was awaited by "8 out of 10 French people." He reminded that democracy allows for both debate and voting and mentioned 40MA and the ZFE Beggars. He listed among the signatories of the amendment Clémentine Autain, Alexis Corbière, François Ruffin, Sandrine Rousseau, Lisa Belluco, Pouria Amirshahi, Christine Arrighi, Léa Balage El Mariky, Karim Ben Cheikh, Benoît Biteau, Arnaud Bonnet, Nicolas Bonnet, Cyrielle Chatelain, Hendrik Davi, Emmanuel Duplessy, Charles Fournier, Marie-Charlotte Garin, Damien Girard, Steevy Gustave, Catherine Hervieu, Jérémie Iordanoff, Julie Laernoes, Tristan Lahais, Benjamin Lucas-Lundy, Julie Ozenne, Sébastien Peytavie, Marie Pochon, Jean-Claude Raux, Sandra Regol, Jean-Louis Roumégas, Eva Sas, Sabrina Sebaihi, Danielle Simonnet, Sophie Taillé-Polian, Boris Tavernier, and Nicolas Thierry. #Démocratie #ZFE #Politique (translated)

Sardoche stated that David Lisnard would win against all his opponents in the second round of the presidential election of 2027. According to him, the mayor of Cannes was the only one to reassure French workers while defending radical positions on the economy, immigration, and culture, and would not divide the country. Sardoche also mentioned an increase of 12,000 members in Lisnard's party in one week, bringing the total to 50,000, with 200 days to go before the first round. He estimated that this momentum was unprecedented under the Fifth Republic and that the party would soon have the largest number of members. He added that Lisnard had established connections with thousands of elected officials across France, despite the contempt that, according to him, the Parisian political elite would show him. Sardoche finally predicted that Lisnard would become president and would be the only candidate capable of rallying the National Assembly around his project. #Présidentielles2027 #DavidLisnard #France (translated)

Nasss explained that the person concerned had abstained because the text was being rewritten in the National Assembly by the right and the far right, and therefore did not know its final version. According to Nasss, she had requested that the two subjects be separated and that the concerned mention be removed in order to vote only on female genital mutilation, but the opposition had refused. Nasss believed that a favorable vote would have led to approving a rewritten text whose content was uncertain, while a vote against could have made her appear in favor of female genital mutilation. #Politique #AssembléeNationale #Excision (translated)
