lol then he compared Pasquale Paoli (founder of the Corsican Republic) negatively to Napoleon

Paoli is remembered as a democratic leader, a popular figure in Corsica, Napoleon is a remembered as a tyrant who tried to reestablish slavery and conquer Europe, only french nationalists like him.

Paoli was kinda the super liberal poster boy of his time.

Yes Paoli was his childhood hero and Bonaparte father used to be Paoli's aide de camp. Of course after Paoli came back(older and slightly more conservative but not by much) to Corsica during Napoleon's 20s and the real political power play in Corsica started, Paoli wasn't a fan of the Bonaparte Brothers. He kicked them out after the failed invasion of Sardinia that Paoli allegedly botched to mitigate Paris influence in Corsica.

France will block an EU trade deal with Brazil and its neighbours over the country's handling of fires in the Amazon rainforest, a spokesperson for Emmanuel Macron has said.

Brazil's far-right president Jair Bolsonaro has been criticised around the world for his response to the fires, which scientists say are man-made and campaigners have linked to businesses looking to exploit the land.

"The president can only conclude President Bolsonaro lied to him at the Osaka summit," a spokesperson for the Elysee told the Reuters news agency.

"In these conditions, France will oppose the Mercosur deal as it is."

The Balkanys' entire career is amazing. Like, I remember my parents joking about how crooked they both were... I dunno, maybe 20 years ago ? The Chirac years, back when I grew a political awareness. And it's not like my folks were in any political or financial inner circle or somesuch - anybody who owned anything anywhere near Levallois just knew. It wasn't even an open secret, it was just an open open. The dude was basically flinging stolen cash at people left and right at the city market. Every Sunday. And nobody cared because hey, the town's getting gentrified to gently caress and all the brownies and blue collars are going away, wheee. He got investigated a million times, always skated free except that one time he got 2 years off city hall courtesy of Justice (for financial fuckery, what else ?), so his wife was "mayor" for one term until he was eligible again.

I am in awe of this man's brazenness, I really am. He's been involved, closely or loosely, in every. Single. Right-wing crooked scheme that's made the news over the past couple decades. It's not even like he ever back-stabbed anyone either, he's just in every bed in town. Chirac, Sarkozy, Tiberi, Macron... he's been at all the troughs, dodged all the taxes, regular as a German train. Again, openly so. And yet he still gets elected, year in, year out.
It'd be beautiful if it wasn't, y'know, awful.

It's more a right-wing bourgeois thing, specifically. They don't give a poo poo about politicians dodging taxes and so on because they do it themselves in any way they can.

Allez, il y a une chose positive qu'on peut dire sur lui, c'est qu'il a bien fait chier les Américains sur l'Iraq, et qu'il avait plus de courage que tous les autres dirigeants occidentaux qui soit se jettèrent sur l'occasion de lécher les couilles de l'Oncle Sam (Blair, Aznar, etc.) soit se défaussèrent en prétextant avoir piscine au lieu de dire leurs quatre vérités aux ricains (Schröder, Verhofstadt, etc.). Il n'y a que la France pour crier haut et fort à l'ONU que les Américains étaient des imbéciles dangereux qui allaient mettre toute la région à feu et à sang et renforcer le terrorisme, et le temps a prouvé qu'il avait raison sur toute la ligne sur ce coup là.

Voilà, c'est la chose positive que je trouve à dire sur Chichi. Pour le reste, et tout particulièrement pour la politique intérieure, il n'a rien fait de bon ou de défensible, mais je pense que beaucoup de gens relativisent parce que Sarkozy a été pire sur tout...
