As I had already written to you, I am viscerally attached to the presumption of innocence. On the sidelines of the interview he granted us, the head of the Brussels PS, Ahmed Laaouej, reiterates his determination not to yield to the threat from the president of the MR, Georges-Louis Bouchez, who conditions the refinancing of the social housing sector on the departure of the socialist Lotfi Mostefa from the presidency of the Foyer Anderlechtois. #FoyerAnderlechtois #LogementSocial #PolitiqueBruxelloise (translated)

Valérie Pécresse, president of the LR party in the Île-de-France region, proposes to deprive students sanctioned by the disciplinary council of regional assistance, a measure considered legally fragile and likely to constitute a double penalty, given the presumption of innocence that is owed to them as long as they have not been convicted. #ÎledeFrance #ValériePécresse #AidesScolaires (translated)

The author was pleased with the announced reintegration of Bruno Attal into the police following a decision by the administrative court. He stated that Attal had been targeted by a political decision for criticizing Emmanuel Macron and undermining the presumption of innocence. He also noted that he had been reproached for saying that the police had better things to do than checking health passes on terraces while drugs were being sold 50 meters away. #Justice #Police #Liberté (translated)

Ugo Bernalicis denounced the summons of parents by a prefect to remind them of their alleged legal responsibility for acts that had not been judged. He argued that the administrative authority could neither replace the judiciary nor publicly comment on the responsibility of individuals before a judicial decision. While some might see this as a communication operation, he indicated that he perceived the trivialization of a repressive logic and a worrying extension of the role of prefects in justice. He reminded that the separation of powers and the presumption of innocence must be respected, even in the name of public order. #Justice #SéparationDesPouvoirs #DroitsDeLHomme (translated)

Seydi Ba asked the prefect on what basis he considered minors to be involved, whether he had consulted their criminal records and on what grounds. He also asked if they had been convicted and if, failing that, the presumption of innocence was still recognized for them. Ba stated that summoning parents to remind them of their obligations was the responsibility of the prosecutor and not the prefect, adding that the presence of the public prosecutor did not change this prerogative. He believed that the priority given to communication relegated the separation of powers to the background. #Justice #DroitsDesMineurs #SéparationDesPouvoirs (translated)

🚨 WHAT IMMENSE SHAME! A 71-year-old African American has just been released after spending 45 years in prison for a crime he did not commit 🤮 The man regained his freedom this week after a DNA test proved he had nothing to do with the murder… They ruined 45 years of his life 💔 #Justice #Innocence #Libération (translated)

"The investigation was well done. At some point, one must whistle the end of recess." A hypothesis deemed "completely extravagant" by the historian Michel Pierre, author of "L'Impossible innocence" (Tallandier, 2019), who had access to the "incriminating" case file of the Seznec affair. #GuillaumeSeznec #réhabilitation #Bretagne (translated)

🚨💣 BREAKING : ▪️#ManCity will attempt to demonstrate its innocence by asserting that certain sponsorship contracts were partly financed by the Abu Dhabi government, rather than by the Abu Dhabi United Group, the private company owned by Sheikh Mansour. According to this argument, these agreements would therefore not constitute a violation of the rules. ▪️ The "irrefutable evidence" put forth by #ManCity throughout the case with the Premier League consists of bank statements from the government and testimonies presented at the hearing. They show that money was transferred from government accounts to sponsors, who then used these funds to pay @ManCity. ▪️The independent commission determined that Sheikh Mansour was unaware of what it describes as a series of "fictitious" agreements. On appeal, #ManCity is expected to argue that it is implausible for Mansour to have been unaware that nearly £830 million of his own money was being used in this manner. The club is also likely to contest the use of the term "fictitious," arguing that it is not merely a word indicating something suspicious, but a legal term that has been improperly applied in this case. ▪️#ManCity's lawyers are also expected to challenge the time taken by the independent commission to render its verdict. They will argue that, in this type of case, decisions should normally be made within three months after the hearing ends, so that judges maintain an accurate memory of the examined elements. According to City, this delay would render the decision “legally unsafe.” The club will also emphasize that it presented 24 witnesses at the hearing, while the Premier League provided no witnesses confirming the existence of the alleged conspiracy.

Incredible statement from Gavin Bazunu. "My decision is based purely upon my personal belief that the killing of innocent people is wrong." Sometimes it's just that simple.

Sandrine Rousseau, la camarade capitalise Il est des spectacles de prestidigitation si réussis qu’on en oublie le prestidigitateur. Ainsi Sandrine Rousseau, qui fait disparaître la capitalisation d’un geste de la main gauche, pendant que la main droite, plus discrète, empoche déjà le complément de retraite que l’État réserve à ses agents. On connaît la formule : faites ce que je dis, pas ce que je fais. Le magicien Pigasse, récemment, s’est déclaré, entre eux pogos imaginaires, du tiers-état, avec la conviction d’un Garcimore qui vient de découvrir le peuple dans un prospectus. On abolit les privilèges le vendredi à Grenoble, on les reloue le samedi aux Caraïbes, et le dimanche on explique que la vie privée n’a rien à voir avec la morale publique. C’est commode. La morale, comme le soleil, éclaire toujours le voisin. Les politiciens ne sont pas le tiers-état. Ils en sont, au mieux, les commis voyageurs. Au pire, les ayants droit. Ils parlent au nom de ceux qui n’ont qu’une retraite. Ils en ont souvent deux, parfois trois, et l’art de les additionner sans jamais les avouer d’un même souffle. L’indemnité du député n’est pas un salaire de misère et la pension du fonctionnaire n’est pas un accident de parcours. La moyenne française, elle, n’a pas d’attaché parlementaire pour lui expliquer qu’elle a mal compris le barème. L’abrutie. Sandrine Rousseau, universitaire (!) puis députée, a donc « découvert » (!!!) en direct qu’elle cotisait déjà à ce petit étage capitalisé qu’on réserve aux fonctionnaires -ce régime qu’on nomme pudiquement additionnel, comme on dit « complément » pour ne pas dire « avantage ». Elle n’avait pas « pris » la complémentaire, a-t-elle précisé, avec l’innocence perfide de ceux qui confondent l’obligation et l’option, le prélèvement et le consentement. C’était touchant. On aurait presque voulu lui offrir un mode d’emploi de sa propre fiche de paie. Le scandale n’est pas qu’elle ait un statut, mais qu’elle en fasse un sermon. On peut fort bien défendre la répartition. On peut même la défendre avec talent. On défend plus difficilement l’idée que le capital soit une lèpre quand on en a déjà une petite dose dans le café, servie par l’employeur public, avec points, fonds et rendement. C’est comme prêcher l’eau et boire le vin de la cantine ministérielle : le miracle n’est pas dans le verre, il est dans l’aplomb. Le peuple, lui, n’a pas le loisir de cette gymnastique. Il a une pension. Une seule. Souvent courte. Parfois dérisoire. Il n’a pas le choix entre le régime de base, le régime additionnel, le régime parlementaire et le régime de l’indignation. Il a le régime de la caisse. Sec. On lui demande de travailler plus longtemps pour financer des gens qui, le soir, lui expliquent que le système est injuste -tout en s’assurant, prudemment, de s’en gaver encore et encore. L’hypocrisie n’est pas un défaut chez certains élus : c’est une compétence. Elle s’exerce à l’Assemblée, se perfectionne à la télévision, et se liquide à l’âge légal, avec majoration possible si l’on a la sagesse d’attendre. Le tiers-état, lui, attend toujours. Il attend que ceux qui parlent en son nom cessent de parler comme s’ils n’étaient pas déjà de l’autre côté du guichet. En 1789, on abolissait les privilèges. En 2026, on les recadre. On les écologise. On les féminise, même. On les moralise. On les nie. Puis, le lendemain, on les encaisse. C’est une nuit du 4 août permanente, mais sans l’inconvénient d’y perdre quoi que ce soit. Quant à Sandrine Rousseau, elle n’est pas plus coupable que les autres. Elle est seulement plus visible. C’est le destin des moralistes : on les juge à l’aune de leurs sermons, jamais de leurs silences. Et le silence, sur une retraite de fonctionnaire devenue retraite de députée, est un silence très parlant. On croirait entendre le froissement d’un bulletin de pension. Le peuple n’en demande pas tant. Juste qu’on cesse de lui vendre la vertu au prix de gros, quand on l’achète soi-même au tarif préférentiel. #politique #hypocrisie #retraite
