Whats wrong with the lighting ? Maybe a little too flat and direct but it's in character.

Interrogé par Le Monde sur la rupture d'Emmanuel Macron avec la tradition de l'interview présidentielle du 14 juillet, l'Elysée a donné une réponse surréaliste… Affirmant qu'il ne fallait pas y voir un "refus d'obstacle" du chef de l'Etat, qui n'a donné aucune interview depuis son élection, ses équipes expliquent tranquillement ce silence par le fait que la "pensée complexe" du président se prêterait mal à l'exercice.

Unlike previous presidents, Macron won't be interviewed by journalists on Bastille day because his "complex thought" is unfit for the exercise.

I used to be told "if you can't explain it you didn't understand it" but I'm no president now so what do I know.

Macron inaugurated the freshly opened Paris Rennes LGV with a speech about how we're now past ambitious infrastructure projects and we need to work on "la mobilité du quotidien" with no further explanation.
What is he on about ?

Being Macron I assume he's not talking about overhauling the TER or RER network but rather on a cool idea where everyone is an uber.

I don't know how anyone can stand to live in Paris... or afford to, but that's another story. I've lived in two large cities in my life, both French speaking, and despite speaking excellent French I was nearly insane after two months. No wonder people who go there for tourism think that all of the French are colossal connards. After about six weeks all I wanted was for someone to suffer needlessly and that I be the cause of it.

I had a good time when I stayed in Paris vOv. Maybe you had a negative experience with transportation or stayed in a bad neighborhood.
Granted after 1 week i couldnt stand motorists and their relentless use of the horn, as well as all the bullshit from scooters.

These predictions come up so often that I'm sure it's just pr tactics at this point. They are good pr tactics tho, because they end up getting everybody, even racists, on board for contraception and female education programs.

Accepting the prediction that Niger is going to have nearly 1 billion residents, or even just a tenth at some point in the future also requires one to make the insane assumption that mortality rates won't go back up to medieval levels as a not very rich nor food-secure country careens into malthusian apocalypse.

Meanwhile ,maintaining the low mortality rates means maintaining the infrastructure for increased medical coverage, and that means that more people need to be educated, and more education has literally 100% of the time led to dramatic declines in birth rate.

Are you suggesting the UN isn't competent enough to account for the elements you bring up, or that they're somehow making up numbers as a "pr tactic" ? Honestly curious.

There's an article on macron coaches.

quote:

C’était l’un des arguments d’Emmanuel Macron pour libéraliser le transport par autocar : la promesse de créer de l’emploi en France. En juin 2015, celui qui était alors ministre de l’Economie reprenait les conclusions d’un rapport de France Stratégie qui promettait… 22 000 emplois !
Deux ans plus tard, l’Arafer vient éreinter ces prévisions, estimant que la libéralisation a créé… 1421 emplois, majoritairement des chauffeurs de bus. Un chiffre bien en deçà de celui avancé par Emmanuel Macron pour promouvoir sa mesure.

tfdr: Macron ordered a study to promote his policy. They "found" it would create around 22000 jobs. Now the actual number is 1421, 60% of the seats are unused on average.

I'm posting it because the study report has this graphic and it cracks me up:

« Nous estimons que quand on a des taux de croissance économique qui est de l’ordre de 5 à 6 % avec un taux de fécondité située à 6 ou 7 %, nous sommes dans une situation de démographie non maîtrisée et nous ne pouvons pas espérer de développement avec une telle situation, a martelé Salifou Diallo.

A) No they don't. Whatever backlash there's been against Charlie after 2015 mostly came from small-time associations and people Online.

After 2015 it's mostly small time associations like the UOIF and the CFCM yes

Reactions about this drawing:


quote:

Abdallah Zekri, un haut responsable du CFCM, président de l'Observatoire contre l'islamophobie, fait part de son agacement au Figaro.fr. «Ça va mettre de l'huile sur le feu», estime-t-il. «Je ne veux pas être désobligeant avec ces journalistes mais ils continuent la provocation (...) Mahomet, Mahomet, toujours Mahomet... Il est mort il y a 15 siècles!»
(CFCM head whining about provocations before the bodies were cold)

quote:

le président de l'Union des organisations islamiques de France (UOIF), Amar Lasfar, prévenait qu'il se tournerait vers la justice dans l'hypothèse d'une nouvelle représentation du prophète. «Notre différend avec Charlie Hebdo portait sur le divin et le sacré, qui ne doivent pas être caricaturés».
(bolding mine, UOIF president threatening to sue if further drawings appeared)

And that's only in France and after 2015

Before 2015 ooh boy
This was about another round of lets draw mohamed:

quote:

Le Premier ministre Jean-Marc Ayrault a exprimé « sa désapprobation face à tout excès » dans le « contexte actuel » et en appelle à « la responsabilité de chacun ». En visite officielle en Egypte, le ministre des Affaires étrangères, Laurent Fabius, s'est déclaré « contre toute provocation » et a fait savoir que le gouvernement « n’encourage pas » l’initiative de Charlie Hebdo, tout en respectant la liberté d’expression.
(PM disapproving, foreign minister speaking against provocations but still likes free speech)

quote:

Le président du Conseil français du culte musulman (CFCM), Mohammed Moussaoui, a appris « avec une profonde consternation » la publication de « dessins insultants à l'égard du Prophète de l’islam » et condamne « avec la plus grande vigueur ce nouvel acte islamophobe qui vise à offenser délibérément les sentiments des musulmans ».
(wah wah islamophobia)

quote:

Le recteur de la Grande Mosquée de Paris, Dalil Boubakeur, a lancé un appel mardi soir au calme face à « une publication qui risque d’exacerber l’indignation générale du monde musulman ». « Je regrette que l’incitation à la haine religieuse ne soit pas réprimée par la loi comme l’est l’incitation à la haine raciale. Nous avions fait appel au Tribunal d’instance de Paris, après les caricatures qu’avait publiées "Charlie Hebdo" en 2006, mais notre plainte n’avait pas été retenue », indique-t-il.
(regrets "religious hate isn't illegal")

They've been trying to sue and censor CH for what is basically blasphemy and fortunately lost so far.
Religious nutfucks are always on the lookout for ways to get their retard opinions into law and I'm glad Charlie makes them show themselves every so often.

Just listened to a guest commentator on the radio explain that Macron seems to be going for the same "telling it like it is" vibe as Sarkozy, to court right-wing voters by getting into risk-free spats with the France Insoumise people. This particular thing might not be deliberately planned but letting the contempt show is part of an overall strategy to shape Macron's public image.

If it's the same guy he also added that Sarko had the extra street cred of having been a local elected official before, as opposed to Macron.
