Press Briefs reported that Ségolène Royal referred to Raphaël Glucksmann as an intern after his victory in the social-democratic primary. The media recalled that she stated to L’Obs at the end of September that he had attended a meeting of Nicolas Sarkozy and did not come from the left. According to Press Briefs, Glucksmann was surrounded by several figures from the outgoing majority, including Aurélien Rousseau, Marguerite Cazeneuve, Simon Bernard, and Sacha Houlié, and was presented by some as a "new Macron." The media also mentioned a campaign note revealed by Mediapart in May, which allegedly recommended targeting wealthy, educated, and older voters as a priority, rather than the 18-25 age group, the working classes, and residents of the suburbs. Press Briefs added that an anonymous executive from Place Publique confided to Mediapart in August that Glucksmann had requested to set the voting fee at 15 euros to restrict the electorate, fearing that too many people participating might lead to a loss. The primary reportedly gathered about 121,000 participants, nearly 14 times less than in 2017 and 22 times less than in 2011, according to the media's comparisons with the first rounds of previous socialist primaries. The media contrasted these figures with the LR primary of 2021, won by Valérie Pécresse with 60.95% of the votes among nearly 115,000 participants. She then obtained 4.78% in the 2022 presidential election. Glucksmann, on the other hand, received 66.17% of the votes in a vote counting approximately 121,000 participants, noted Press Briefs, which questioned the significance of this victory in view of the presidential election. #politique #France #primaires (translated)

Maranello Paddock reported Lewis Hamilton's statements after the Singapore Grand Prix. The Ferrari driver stated that he takes responsibility for a result below expectations and explained that he chose new medium tires to attempt a one-stop strategy, as overtaking is difficult on this circuit. According to him, these tires proved to be less effective than the soft ones. Hamilton indicated that he found his rhythm during the second stint, but was unable to regain enough positions. He mentioned missing the pit entry when the team called him in during the virtual safety car period, and then chose to stay on track. The tire degradation in the final laps allegedly cost him three places, leaving him in sixth. The driver described the race as a hard lesson, acknowledged making mistakes, and apologized to the team for the lost points. He expressed his desire to continue to invest and fight in the next race. #F1 #Ferrari #GrandPrix (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)

Instant Foot reported that Florent, an amateur goalkeeper from Armentières in R3, usually filmed his matches and published the footage on social media. One of his videos circulated widely: after hitting the crossbar, the ball rebounded several centimeters in front of the line, but the assistant referee signaled a goal. According to Florent's account relayed by Instant Foot, the central referee told him he believed him, while explaining that he had to follow his assistant's decision. Florent insisted on contesting this and received a yellow card. He also tried to show the footage to the referee but was unable to quickly find the sequence. Instant Foot added that the referee watched the video after the match and apologized. Despite a technical reserve, no change to the decision was possible. #Football #Arbitrage #Sport (translated)

Matthew Valet opposed the withdrawal of stun grenades, believing that the incident in Lens, where a young man lost a hand, did not justify disarming the police. He added that a police officer or gendarme could not be held responsible if someone picked up a grenade at the moment of its explosion. Referring to the events of the previous day at the Place de la Bastille, he claimed that the absence of grenades and LBD (flash-ball launchers) in the face of individuals determined to attack the police risked causing a "bloodbath." He questioned whether this would lead to more confrontations at close quarters and injuries. Valet stated that he felt Emmanuel Macron preferred to see a police officer hospitalized rather than a rioter imprisoned. He argued that disarming police officers exposed them to injury and reminded that they were parents wearing a uniform. He also criticized the Magistrates' Union, accusing it of complacency towards the far left. According to him, excusing violence contributed to its rooting in France. #sécurité #violence #police (translated)
