Nicolas Sarkozy is beginning his five-year prison term today. Read @diane2v.bsky.social's look into the former French president's ties to Libya, and the plane crash that helped bring Sarkozy down, in @newlinesmag.bsky.social

The RN increasingly attracts voters from across the socioeconomic spectrum, including white-collar voters. But they're especially strong among working-class voters — and unfortunately, some on the French Left continue to live in a state of denial about this. www.ipsos.com/fr-fr/fractu... (p. 122)

Devastating poll that should serve as a wake-up call for the parties of the French left as they continue to argue amongst themselves. 22 % of respondents say they sympathize with the RN, compared to 8% for Socialists, 8% for La France Insoumise, 5% for Greens. www.lemonde.fr/politique/ar...

Frustrated that a single mention of Martine Vassal in an English-language article requires so much explanation. Yes, she's the head of the département (what is that?). Yes, she's also the head of the metropolitan government (what is that?). Yes, she's also running for mayor of Marseille.

Notre débat public illustre jusqu’à la caricature la crise du régime de vérité qui traverse nos démocraties : nous vivons une bascule anthropologique amorcée il y a vingt ans aux Etats-Unis.

The rapidly-evolving 🇫🇷 situation: Left parties (minus LFI) say they want to govern and call on Macron to name a left PM. Macron's own coalition is now rudderless. RN only calling for snap elections. If you landed here from another planet, you might say the president could just name a left-wing PM? 🤷

Macron's old inner circle now publicly turning against him. Former PM Gabriel Attal says he "no longer understands" Macron's decisions. Another former PM Edouard Philippe just called for early presidential elections. RIP Macronism, save yourself if you can!

Maybe I'll be proven wrong, but I don't really see how there's any way forward other than snap elections? Macron has made it repeatedly clear that he does not want to name a left-of-center PM and the idea of Macronists and left-wing parties governing together seems far-fetched at this point.

I am begging you to stop writing “Marseilles” in English. There is no S at the end. It is ugly and wrong.

An outstanding interview. Patrick Iber of Dissent Magazine has interviewed the legendary Polish political scientist Adam Przeworski about de-democratisation in the USA, and what lessons he’s gleaned from Chile, Peru & beyond.

Iber’s questions are stellar. Przeworski’s answers, chillingly candid.
