Rachel Garrat-Valcarcel estimated that gathering 10,000 people in Clermont six months before the first round was at least as remarkable as bringing together 25,000 in Saint-Denis, if not more. She added that we would need to see what the others would look like as April approaches, but that the campaign could be one of the largest electoral machines in recent decades. #Élections2024 #ClermontFerrand #Politique (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)

It is finished in its initial form. But a turnaround and a catch-up operation a few hours later. Just before midnight, a statement from General Fabien Mandon provides some clarifications. This time, it is no longer a German departure from the project that is mentioned, but a "shift" in the program, with service commencement "delayed towards the end of the 2040s." According to the Chief of Staff, the MGCS "is continued and retains a major interest refocused on the development of enhanced connectivity, collaborative combat, automation, and robotization." So, is the MGCS dead? "It is finished in its initial form," states Paul Maurice, Secretary General of the Franco-German Relations Study Committee at Ifri (French Institute of International Relations). #MGCS #Défense #FrancoAllemand (translated)

Ola Kallqvist wrote that for decades it had been said that integration would happen over time, as children and grandchildren gradually became part of society and the problems disappeared. He argued that Danish figures now challenged that notion and asked what would happen in Western Europe if time did not solve the problems. #integration #Västeuropa #samhälle (translated)
Frenchie wrote that OpenAI had published 722 proofs of open mathematical problems, obtained on average after three hours of computation each. According to him, some figures suggested that these results represented 80% of what humanity had discovered in mathematics over the past three years, including on problems sometimes studied for decades. He estimated that the profession of mathematician would not disappear, but that the work would shift toward verification of proofs and their understanding. He also described the world of mathematics as being in shock and divided: Fields medalists were denouncing the rush of laboratories to open problems, while others were advising OpenAI. Frenchie concluded that history might remember 2024-2026 as the beginning of modern mathematics. #Mathématiques #OpenAI #Innovation (translated)
Johan Romin wrote that Swedish journalists had long struggled to understand the situation in Gaza. He claimed that Hamas was driving the recurring wars and many casualties, describing the movement's goal as the annihilation of Israel and the expulsion or killing of the country's Jews. According to Romin, Hamas representatives had said this in interviews, and the movement's actions did not contradict their stated goals. Romin wrote that Hamas had been building tunnels for decades with funding from the Western world, while TV crews did not understand what the work was about. He recounted that he had filmed in Hamas tunnels without then understanding their purpose. In 2015, he claimed to have filmed an ongoing tunnel construction at a street corner in northern Gaza and was arrested and interrogated by Hamas. He also wrote that Hamas had worked to foster a new generation of terrorists and suicide bombers. As an example, he mentioned a studio at the al-Aqsa television channel, where, according to him, there was a Quran on the table and a picture of Goofy alongside a child about to sacrifice himself for the al-Aqsa mosque. #Gaza #Hamas #Israel (translated)
