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)

Marguerite Stern wrote that she often thought back to the scene in which Marie Mesmeur had been attacked and mocked, according to her, because she was a white woman. She expressed her support for her and said she had regularly experienced similar situations while working as a supervisor in the northern neighborhoods of Marseille. In hindsight, Stern felt that defending the individuals involved by portraying them as victims of racism and poverty could be a short-term survival strategy, but was harmful in the long term. She added that these individuals had no right to humiliate Mesmeur and had subjected others to worse. She urged her to reflect on the situation, while acknowledging that it could be difficult to question oneself on these issues, but that it was possible. #Soutien #Égalité #Racisme (translated)

I want to be extremely clear regarding the claim that I was seen hitting a vehicle: it is false, utterly false, and outrageous. This claim aims once again to discredit my presence on the ground, while my approach is precisely the opposite: to participate in the pacification, to avoid as much as possible any escalation, and to support the main demands of high school students. However, I was a direct witness to a particularly dangerous situation. A driver, clearly scared as young high school students had surrounded her vehicle and were hitting it, accelerated, creating a very serious risk of running over and seriously injuring students. In light of the seriousness of this situation, I shouted for the driver to slow down and for the young people to immediately move away from the vehicle. Aware of the danger, I then continued my run toward the police positioned in front of the vehicle to inform them of the seriousness of what I had just witnessed and the extremely dangerous behavior of the driver. We would later learn that she was a police officer. I also want to remind an essential element: the student mobilization was on the roadway, and a request had been made to the police authorities to temporarily stop traffic in front of the school. This request having been denied, the conditions were set for a situation of confrontation between vehicles and students to deteriorate and cause a serious accident. It is precisely to avoid this type of situation that I am present. I also call on law enforcement and their superiors to exercise the greatest restraint. We are facing young students, sometimes very young, who may, due to their age and inexperience, not fully realize the dangers they are exposing themselves to. This obviously does not mean that anything goes. It means that the response must be proportionate, controlled, and directed toward de-escalation, so that no young person is injured and no tragedy occurs. I will continue to call on the youth to act responsibly, particularly not to expose themselves in front of vehicles and to never put their lives in danger. But I will not allow lies and unfounded accusations to push me away from the support I deem necessary for the demands of high school students. Therefore, I call once again on the Minister of the Interior, the Minister of National Education, the Prime Minister, and the President of the Île-de-France Region to do their part in de-escalation. In such a tense situation, every word matters. We must avoid statements that could fuel confrontation and, on the contrary, create conditions for dialogue allowing the demands of high school students to be heard. The priority must remain the safety of young people, calming the situation, and respecting the right to mobilization. #Lycéens #Sécurité #Désescalade (translated)
