Bally Bagayoko explained that his group abstained during the vote on a wish presented by the opposition elected officials from the Socialist, Environmentalists, and Citizens group at the municipal council. The text focused on the protection of girls and women against excision and female genital mutilation, as well as the adoption of a comprehensive law against sexist and sexual violence (SSV). He said that his group supported the fight against mutilations and reminded that nearly 500 patients received follow-up each year in the municipality. He also praised the work of the Women's House, Delafontaine Hospital, and various associations, and asked the State to strengthen the resources allocated for prevention and medical follow-up. According to Bally Bagayoko, the abstention concerned the request to quickly adopt the law on SSV. He indicated that the bill had been significantly amended in committee at the National Assembly the week of the municipal council, and its content remained uncertain. His group had asked to remove references to this law from the wish in order to be able to vote in favor of the text on the fight against excision, but the opposition had refused, he wrote. He believed that this refusal had hindered the pursuit of an agreement and denounced a political instrumentalization of the issue. The group ultimately abstained in order not to block the wish, which was adopted, while not supporting all of its content, he noted. #Excision #DroitsDesFemmes #LutteContreLesViolences (translated)

Yvonne Kussmann reported on the murder of 24-year-old CDU young politician Christoph R. in January 2025, stating that Mamadou Alpha B. cut his throat and then burned his body. The crime was committed nine days before the expiration of his residence permit. In the trial, Mamadou Alpha B. was deemed unaccountable due to paranoid schizophrenia, and his placement in a forensic psychiatric institution was ordered. Kussmann questioned the verdict. In her opinion, the man's behavior could also be explained by the rites and beliefs of the strictly Islamic Fulla ethnic group to which he belongs. She wrote that the illness had never been diagnosed before the crime. Kussmann noted that the Cottbus Administrative Court had already dismissed Mamadou Alpha B.'s lawsuit against the rejection of his asylum application in July 2021. According to her, the reasoning of the judgment reveals that he provided different dates of birth in his asylum application in Italy and lied during a hearing at the BAMF. Kussmann stated that this had no impact on his stay in Germany. She wrote that the perpetrator should not have been in Germany anymore and mentioned that she had revised her research text on the case. Furthermore, Kussmann requested support for her portal Aktuell Informiert. She wrote that expenses currently exceeded revenues. Donations were intended to facilitate research, court visits, on-site appointments, technical expenses, and the expansion of the portal. https://t.co/0RvVD8whhG #Politik #Asyl #Rechtssystem (translated)

Jon De Lorraine stated that the debate between Louise and Elwan was followed because it revealed, beyond a televised confrontation, a crisis of representation. He presented Louise as a young woman who embraced her ideas and, in his view, met the expectations of millions of French people disappointed by a political class he accused of calculating to preserve its allowances and interests. In contrast, he described Elwan as representative of a self-assured and moralizing television left. He praised her oratorical ease while asserting that she drew inspiration from the style of Jean-Luc Mélenchon. According to him, the left and far-left were thus seeking to extend their ideas to younger and more affluent classes but found themselves struggling as soon as the debate went beyond slogans. De Lorraine interpreted the resonance of the sequence as a sign that some French people were looking for new faces and a break from the traditional political class. He mentioned an economic, security, and migration crisis, but above all, a crisis of representation, and concluded that a part of the country desired a less formatted discourse as well as a right that assumed its ideas more fully. #PolitiqueFrançaise #Changement #EngagementCitoyen (translated)

Actu Foot reported, citing Mario Cortegana, that a former member of the Real Madrid staff believed that the problem posed by the duo of Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius would not be resolved until one of them left the club.

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)

OpenAI confirmed on Friday that the three researchers who were laid off last week were not dismissed due to their concerns about the risk management of artificial intelligence within the company, but because of an internal investigation that revealed a breach of trust. #OpenAI #IntelligenceArtificielle #RechercheSécurité (translated)

Frederik Schindler reported exclusively at WELT that the newly elected Left Party MP in Berlin, Martha Kleedörfer, opposed the anti-Semitism declaration from the Left Party, SPD, and Greens in an internal chat group of the Berlin Left Party. She criticized that the party had submitted to the declaration and accused the text from the three state leaders of enabling five more years of repression. In her view, the demand for a one-state solution is legitimate and not a reason to exclude her from the faction. https://t.co/Wndkie4G9W #BerlinerLinkspartei #Antisemitismus #Politik (translated)
