French Milei supporters published a translation of a tweet from Javier Milei, in which the Argentine president accused socialism of claiming causes such as disability, retirees, or public universities to justify, in his opinion, uncontrolled and untransparent spending and bureaucratic structures. Milei claimed that audit requests were often presented as an attack against the concerned individuals, and that opening accounts revealed intermediaries, advocacy organizations, and taxpayer-funded privileges. He argued that this mechanism had been observed in Argentina and other countries, to the detriment of people who truly needed help and Argentine taxpayers. He demanded the publication of all accounts and contracts as well as accountability from each responsible party. #Liberté #Transparence #Responsabilité (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)

Dr. Jérôme Barriere estimated that the strong progress of David Lisnard in a voting intention poll was a major fact, despite the limitations of this type of survey. He suggested that this rise could be explained by his speech in favor of reduced spending, by a growing activist base that he described as respectful, by his energy, and by his positioning on the right, which he presented as a hope to block the RN. He also emphasized that Lisnard was not accountable for the past record, which he considered an asset with the French people. Barriere wondered how far this progress would go and whether David Lisnard would be invited more to television shows and included in polls, believing that pollsters had deliberately excluded him until now. #Politique #Sondage #Élections (translated)
