We do not start from the position: 'Look, we want to scare you - humanity faces so many dangers.' We start from the assumption that these are, if you are a decision-maker at the global or national level today, potential threats that you may face, and this is the extent to which you can actually change something by taking action. Professor of infectious disease epidemiology at University College London and committee member Ibrahim Abubakar emphasized that their aim is not to frighten the public. #jedrskavojna #umetnainteligenca #globalnegrožnje (translated)

We do not start from the idea of saying: "Look, we want to scare you – here are the threats that hang over humanity." We start from the premise that if you can decide in the present – whether at a global multilateral level or at a national level – these are the potential threats you could face, and if you act, you can indeed make a difference," said Ibrahim Abubakar, a member of the commission and professor of infectious disease epidemiology at University College London. #amenințăriglobale #inteligențăartificială #războinuclear (translated)

Clémence Guetté called into question the usefulness of Sébastien Lecornu and claimed that he had presented two misleading measures. She disputed the announcement of an increase in the national education budget, estimating that when accounting for inflation, the budget for middle and high schools would actually decrease by 560 million euros. She added that this would lead to the elimination of 1,600 teaching positions and criticized Lecornu for not proposing anything regarding teachers' salaries, the condition of school facilities, or Parcoursup. Regarding fuel, she reported that Lecornu planned to tap into French strategic reserves to lower prices. According to her, the decrease would be 12 to 18 cents for only three months and would depend on distributors, who would not be required to pass on the reduction in their costs. Guetté accused Lecornu of wanting to avoid having Total and major oil companies contribute, in order to preserve dividends for their shareholders. She finally warned that the budget would, in her view, be unprecedentedly violent for the middle classes and the most vulnerable individuals, while the wealthiest would be spared. She concluded that her camp would censure the government. #ÉducationNationale #Carburants #Politique (translated)
