He is a kind of financier who left Torre del Greco many years ago, moved first to London, then to Switzerland, and subsequently to Monte Carlo, and now resides in the Bahamas... In any case, he refers to implausible and obscure maneuvers of mine only after, I would like to make it clear, having vainly attempted to force me into agreements that are unacceptable to me. However, this is a separate issue on which unfortunately I cannot add anything else, because it will be the subject of a specific judicial inquiry that will clarify, also thanks to voice recordings, the purposes that inspired those who initiated all of this. #DanielaSantanchè #Senato #Diffamazione (translated)

Francesco wrote, referencing an article by Rita Cavallaro, that Captain Marino had traveled to Milan eight times in November 2011 — on the 7th, 10th, 14th, 17th, 18th, 19th, 29th, and 30th — to meet with prosecutor Laura Barbaini. According to reports, he had reached the Tribunal in his own vehicle after being summoned by Barbaini. Francesco indicated that the trips would have emerged from letters sent by Marino to the municipal police of Milan to request the cancellation of any fines received during the journey. The letters, he wrote, were among the documents in the “wardrobe of shame,” obtained at the Parma laboratory by the Prosecutor's Office of Pavia. He added that there were no notes or minutes regarding the reasons for the meetings or what Marino and Barbaini had discussed. In reconstructing the context, Francesco recalled that the first appeal trial for the Garlasco crime had started in Milan on November 8, 2011, and that Barbaini represented the prosecution as Deputy Attorney General. On November 22, during the closing arguments, she had requested 30 years in prison for Alberto Stasi, also contesting the aggravating circumstance of cruelty. Stasi had been acquitted on appeal in December 2011; subsequently, Francesco wrote, the Supreme Court had annulled the sentence and ordered a new trial in Milan in 2014, in which Barbaini maintained the same role and secured the conviction. #Garlasco #Giustizia #Sistema (translated)

David Lisnard believes that the SCAF and MGCS programs, launched in 2017 by Emmanuel Macron and Angela Merkel to develop the future combat aircraft and tank, are strategic and industrial dead ends. He criticized French leaders for prioritizing Franco-German cooperation without first verifying the convergence of military interests, technological mastery, and the distribution of industrial responsibilities. According to him, a high-level Franco-German seminar held on October 7 would have revealed a different method: starting from the needs of the armed forces and industrial interests, then allowing companies to build viable cooperations before giving them, if necessary, a political translation. Lisnard stated that during the negotiations on the MGCS, Germany was preparing for the succession of the Leopard 2, notably with the Leopard 3 project, and that the delay created a military vulnerability. He called for a break with a conception of European defense that, according to him, confuses cooperation with the dilution of sovereignties. He advocated for a distribution of roles in which the political power sets ambitions and means, the armed forces define their needs, and the industries develop solutions and partnerships. Lisnard also urged for the immediate preparation of the renewal of French ground combat capabilities, beyond the simple replacement of the Leclerc, notably by integrating armored vehicles, drones, robotics, artificial intelligence, and data management. He estimated that this required investments in industry, a recovery of public finances, and a more efficient use of military credits. Finally, he accused the current government of having caused France to lose valuable years and argued that the issue concerned its ability to prepare for future conflicts, ensure the security of the French people, and defend the nation. #Défense #Souveraineté #Coopération (translated)

Paul Vannier wrote that the National Rally voted against eight measures examined the day before in the finance committee, which, according to him, would have made the wealthiest contribute to the financing of public services. He cited the creation of a universal tax aimed at the very wealthy residing abroad, the elimination of the flat tax on dividends, two proposals to raise this tax, the tripling of the surcharge on very high incomes, an increase in the minimum tax rate on large fortunes, a measure against circumventing inheritance rights through the spreading of donations, and the deindexation of the highest tax brackets from inflation. Vannier added that the RN had voted with the Macronists. #JusticeFiscale #Richesse #ServicesPublics (translated)
