Wolf recounted that Serge Juillard was returning home on January 7, 2009, when a snow-related traffic jam slowed him down in the Barbière area of Avignon. According to his account, young people were throwing snowballs containing stones at the cars. After a collision, Juillard allegedly went out to check the damage, then about ten youths insulted and violently attacked him. Wolf indicated that they notably pulled down his pants, struck him in the genital area, filled his mouth with snow, and hit him with a metal bar, the first blow reportedly hitting his head. He also reported that Juillard described being held by his arms and legs, saying they "crucified" him. The post indicated that in March 2013, Juillard was in a wheelchair and taking morphine for seizures and pain. Wolf wrote that about ten suspects had been arrested, but only three had been brought before the juvenile court. Two minors, aged 14 and 16 at the time of the incident, were reportedly sentenced to six months in prison, three of which were firm. Assisted by Me Gontard, the victim lamented, according to the post, that the older suspects had not been tried. Wolf concluded by asking his readers if they were already familiar with this case. #Justice #Violence #France (translated)

David Lisnard believes that the SCAF and MGCS programs, launched in 2017 by Emmanuel Macron and Angela Merkel to develop the future combat aircraft and tank, are strategic and industrial dead ends. He criticized French leaders for prioritizing Franco-German cooperation without first verifying the convergence of military interests, technological mastery, and the distribution of industrial responsibilities. According to him, a high-level Franco-German seminar held on October 7 would have revealed a different method: starting from the needs of the armed forces and industrial interests, then allowing companies to build viable cooperations before giving them, if necessary, a political translation. Lisnard stated that during the negotiations on the MGCS, Germany was preparing for the succession of the Leopard 2, notably with the Leopard 3 project, and that the delay created a military vulnerability. He called for a break with a conception of European defense that, according to him, confuses cooperation with the dilution of sovereignties. He advocated for a distribution of roles in which the political power sets ambitions and means, the armed forces define their needs, and the industries develop solutions and partnerships. Lisnard also urged for the immediate preparation of the renewal of French ground combat capabilities, beyond the simple replacement of the Leclerc, notably by integrating armored vehicles, drones, robotics, artificial intelligence, and data management. He estimated that this required investments in industry, a recovery of public finances, and a more efficient use of military credits. Finally, he accused the current government of having caused France to lose valuable years and argued that the issue concerned its ability to prepare for future conflicts, ensure the security of the French people, and defend the nation. #Défense #Souveraineté #Coopération (translated)
