Freedom and independence of press (and other media) is in a deplorable state in france. Macron is actively contributing to this decline (supression of redevance TV, comes to my mind, along side other public statements he made), following the course set by previous governments (e.g: Sarkozy appointing himself the head of the national media group).
And criminalization of civil society is in general thriving in many European countries including France.
God damnit I hate our neofascist European governments. Macron is Mussolini’s little suppository.
Yep, and what’s sucks is that Macron is going to let extremist Le Pen steamroll her way into the presidency come next election time
I think I just threw up a little in my mouth at the thought of that :(
So when does France start beating that old guillotine drum again?
Her 2021 report used leaked classified documents to allege that Egyptian authorities used French intelligence to bomb and kill smugglers on the Egyptian-Libyan border between 2016 and 2018.
this wording is ambiguous. did she publish these documents for the first time, or did she simply use the leaked documents to make the allegations?
update: the organization she works for did indeed originate the publication of said leaked docs. link
Montjoie Saint-Denis!
Trying to understand this more, was the press curtailed here or did she break the law by leaking classified docs?
No comment on if the info should be classified
