The EU has added 1,646 individuals and companies to its list in a comprehensive sanctions package against Russia to increase pressure on the defense sector, especially manufacturers of rockets and drones, while the US diesel deal with Russia questions the effectiveness of these sanctions. #EU #Sanktionen #Russland (translated)

I don't want Europe to buy oil from Russia. Just a year ago, Trump lashed out at Europe: "I don't want Europe to buy oil from Russia." And today: Trump expresses himself "happy" about his diesel deal with the Kremlin, which could flow 6 billion euros into Moscow's war chest. It's time for a new president in Ukraine. Trump then blamed Zelensky for the high prices at the US gas station and bluntly declared: "It's time for a new president in Ukraine." Then on Sunday afternoon came the surprise: Trump announced on his platform Truth Social that Russia and Ukraine had agreed to an immediate "energy weapons ceasefire." #Trump #Russland #DieselDeal (translated)

Joan Larroumec believed that Jean-Luc Mélenchon's success with young people revealed their lack of future prospects. According to him, the current system favored older generations in accessing the best jobs and housing, while young people paid high retirement contributions without being able to hope for a comparable pension. He also stated that the level of taxation made it difficult to become wealthy through work and that inheritance inequalities perpetuated social status gaps. Larroumec said that the threat of artificial intelligence was a major concern neglected by politicians. He cited the United States, where, in his view, the employment of 22-25 year-olds in jobs exposed to AI was already about 19% below its trajectory. He predicted that companies would hire less and prioritize protecting their existing employees, often older, and questioned the future of highly educated young people without jobs. He added that young people were waiting for politicians to offer a vision of a desirable and fair life in France for the coming decades, as well as clear rules of the game. According to him, the old path of studying, finding a good job, buying an apartment, and advancing based on merit no longer existed, and no one on the political scene was living up to those expectations. #jeunesse #inégalités #avenir (translated)
