Més Blaugrana relayed Fabrizio Romano's comments, who indicated that Erling Haaland was fully focused on Manchester City and ready to fight alongside the club, with which he was under contract for many more years. Romano described the message of support sent by the striker to the fans after several difficult weeks. The journalist added that he would not be surprised to see Haaland play one day in La Liga. According to him, FC Barcelona and Real Madrid had been interested in the striker since his time at Borussia Dortmund and might continue to try to recruit him. Romano clarified that this hypothesis was separate from the proceedings involving Manchester City and did not reflect the player's current intentions. https://t.co/p7r4v4XO1K #Haaland #ManchesterCity #Liga (translated)

Michał Janczura wrote that Agnieszka Z., sentenced to five years in prison for causing an accident in which three people died, has twice obtained a postponement of her sentence. First, she was to complete her internship, and later the postponement was granted due to her health condition. During this time, she completed her internship and was entered on the list of doctors. Janczura pointed out that although Agnieszka Z.'s health condition was supposed to justify the postponement of her prison sentence, she was able to work as a dentist. He also wrote that the medical chamber learned about the judgment and the postponements from material broadcasted by TVN24, as the court did not inform them about the case. According to the author, in September the chamber resumed the procedure to grant Agnieszka Z. the right to practice the profession, to check if there were any ethical or health obstacles from the beginning for her to work as a physician. Janczura added that the court did not want to share the psychiatric opinion even with the medical self-government. https://t.co/X5GtBTpWIa #prawo #sprawiedliwość #zdrowie (translated)

Alexandre Jardin stated that the vote on the repeal of ZFEs in the National Assembly was blocked by procedural maneuvers that he attributed to the obstruction of LFI, ecologists, and Renaissance, with the deliberate cooperation of the government. According to him, the repeal would have been adopted since it was opposed by "8 out of 10 French people." He considered that this episode constituted a serious crisis of the democratic system and accused the French and European "green-authoritarian" bureaucracy of having the final word. Jardin explained that this situation led him to create RefCitoyen and called for the establishment of direct democracy. He added that democrats would take action at the end of the following week. #Démocratie #République #ZFE (translated)
