Jean-Pierre LIHAU accused an unnamed person of treason and acting as an enemy agent amid the aggression against the nation. He stated that after 18 years in power, this person would seek to repeat their "exploits" of 1997 with Rwandan allies. LIHAU claimed that the Rwandans overthrew J.D. Mobutu in 1997 and placed one of their own at the head of the Congolese army. He also accused them of having assassinated LD Kabila in 2001 and having massacred millions of Congolese. He described the country that Félix Tshisekedi had inherited as infiltrated and destructured, with the M23, over 150 active armed groups, and a socio-economic situation that he termed catastrophic. LIHAU added that the Congolese were no longer fooled and would know how to take their responsibilities without giving in to intimidation. He asserted that the Republic was one and indivisible, that it would rise again, and that justice would catch up with its enemies. #RépubliqueDémocratiqueDuCongo #Justice #Politique (translated)
Franck Zeiger stated that the European Union was waging a war against Russia by refusing to buy its gas and oil, while purchasing weapons from the United States intended for Ukraine. He argued that the United States, on the other hand, was buying Russian oil to keep its economy and arms factories running, before selling arms to Europe, which was thus depriving itself of this energy. He estimated that the European Union was financing a conflict that enriched Americans and Russians while Ukrainians were being exterminated. He also predicted that reconstruction contracts would go to the United States and Russia, and not to Europeans whom he labeled as the defeated. #Ukraine #Europe #Guerre (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)

Impact reported that Jordan Bardella had expressed his support for law enforcement and proposed suspending family allowances for the families of repeat minor offenders.

According to Impact, Bardella had opposed the government's ban on stun grenades — one of which allegedly caused a high school student's hand to be torn off — and had called for police to remain armed.
