His son Jean is happy as balls, because Henri d’Orléans died right after Jean’s elder brother François, who was mentally handicapped and who still had fought him over the succession rights

So now Jean is the uncontested orleanist pretender to the nonexistent throne. Congrats to him.

The solution to all financial shortfalls is "Take it from the very wealthy"; they take it all from the people who do the real work anyway.

It baffles and frightens me that people still follow the narrative that, even though the world is wealthier than ever, it's still necessary to cut things that were perfectly affordable when the world was less rich. You would think that someone would twig to the realisation that "If there is more money and less for important things, it must be going to someone else..."

quote:

PARIS (Reuters) - French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said on Monday that he prepared to step up public spending cuts to finance faster tax cuts if people voiced a desire for lower tax in a nationwide debate underway.

“Should we go further on tax cuts? The grand debate will offer an answer to this fundamental question, which involves real choices as a society,” Le Maire said.

“I for one am ready to reduce public spending on things people do not consider a priority in order to step up tax cuts,” Le Maire added, speaking in a business address to business leaders.

Hmm yes. The people are crying out for austerity to fiance taxes for the richest members of society.

https://www.france24.com/en/20190120-france-education-university-tuition-fees-international-foreign-students-africa

quote:

In a Le Monde op-ed signed by more than 60 professors and lecturers, French academics said the fees would inevitably lead to a decline in the number of African students – who currently account for 45% France’s of international students – enrolling in the country’s universities, noting that the vast majority would no longer be able to afford higher education in France.

quote:

For Faye, the Senegalese student, the new government policy reflects changing attitudes in France, and a hardening stance on immigration in particular.

“France no longer wants to give privileged access to people from its former colonies, it wants wealthier students,” he said, adding: “But the wealthy don’t come to France – they go to America.”

1. lol at France imploding its international education.

quote:

The response from individual university presidents has been more critical, with several openly defying the government. By mid-January, seven universities had announced they would not charge international students higher fees in the forthcoming academic year, prompting a rebuke from the higher education minister, Frédérique Vidal, who stressed their “duty of obedience and loyalty” as civil servants.

This is interesting. 13 universities have said they won't rise tuition for international students. Can they do that?

I have this thesis that for politicians and think-tankers, "modernity" is a codeword for "ancient régime", in that whenever they talk about "modernizing" something, what they're really talking about is undoing social progress accomplished at some point between 1789 and now.

Here we have another example of the underlying mindset, in that some people should have a higher status than the average serf.

quote:

According to French weekly Journal du Dimanche (JDD), which cited a number of unnamed sources in the young leader’s entourage, the ballot papers have already been “pre-ordered” and everyone is now awaiting Macron’s green light to set the machinery for the May 26 referendum in motion. The vote would in that case coincide with the European Parliament elections.

“We’ve taken all the necessary measures,” one source was quoted as saying, while another said that “the chances of a May 26 referendum happening are very high”.

The referendum is likely to contain several questions, inquiring on a number of economic, social and socio-economic issues, and would be the first of its kind in the French Fifth Republic’s history. JDD speculated that such questions might include whether France needs to reduce its number of lawmakers, and whether their mandates should be shortened.

Mulls an odd word when you've already ordered the ballots.
