Someone noticed that the (unofficial) République Française logo was redesigned to include a cross of Lorraine, of all things.

This is a bit of a big deal, isn't it?

quote:

France formally acknowledged its military’s systemic use of torture in the Algerian War in the 1950s and 1960s, a step forward in grappling with its colonial legacy.

President Emmanuel Macron issued a statement in the context of a call for clarity about the fate of Maurice Audin, a 25-year-old mathematician and anti-colonial activist who was tortured by the French army and forcibly disappeared in 1957, during Algeria’s bloody struggle for independence from France.

Audin’s death is a specific case, but it represents a cruel system put in place at the state level, the Elysee Palace said. “His disappearance was made possible by a system that . . . allowed law enforcement to arrest, detain and question any ‘suspect’ for the purpose of a more effective fight against the opponent,” read Macron’s statement.

Benjamin Stora, a leading French historian of Algeria, said Macron’s recognition represented a move away from the “silence of the father” stance that has characterized France’s relationship to its colonial past for decades.

quote:

In addition to recognizing state-authorized torture, Macron called for the opening of archives concerning those who disappeared, such as Audin.

“A general dispensation, by ministerial decree, will be granted so that everyone — historians, families, associations — can consult the archives for all those who disappeared in Algeria,” the Elysee statement read. “We’re putting the issue of the missing in the center.”

Speaking of industrious young men, Le Monde has an article about Julien Foussard, the guy whose startup won LVMH's "Viva Technology Innovation Award" this year.

Long story short, this upstanding fine gentleman whom Bernard Arnault believes deserves much honors is a crook who's been condemned at least five times for various malversations, including phishing through fake administrative sites, hacking the databases of other startups, and so on. Certainly the kind of innovation that people like Arnault like to see.
