So this interview of Agnès Buzyn is something to behold
Why even say this now? What does she think she's doing :psyduck:
Justifying her bad electoral performance by blaming the people who forced her to replace a "dick on twitter" (litterally, not figuratively). Of course, long term, she would appears as a better politician and party soldier by doing nothing and taking the blame but i don't have the feeling she is optimist about the future of the party.

In other news : it's recession time!

quote:

Coronavirus : le PIB s’effondre de 6 %, la France est entrée en récession

L’enquête réalisée entre le 27 mars et le 3 avril auprès de 8 500 entreprises indique que l’activité économique globale a chuté de 32 % pendant la quinzaine de confinement de mars, un chiffre comparable à celui qu’avait publié l’Insee, qui était de – 35 %. Les secteurs les plus touchés sont la construction, qui a perdu environ les trois quarts de son activité normale, et ceux du commerce, des transports, de l’hébergement et de la restauration, pour lesquels l’activité a reculé des deux tiers environ.

L’industrie manufacturière est aussi substantiellement affectée, avec une perte d’activité de près de moitié, de même que les autres services marchands, avec une baisse d’environ un tiers. Agrégés, ces secteurs qui représentent ensemble 55 % du PIB, ont perdu la moitié de l’activité normale. Les autres, moins sévèrement touchés, qui représentent un peu moins de la moitié du PIB, sont l’agriculture et l’industrie agroalimentaire, la cokéfaction, le raffinage et la production d’énergie, les services non marchands ou les services financiers et immobiliers.

Remember the innocent times of getting all pissy at the gilet jaunes when the 4 star hotels in Paris were seeing a little drop in bookings. If only they took that poo poo seriously back in January.

e: I wonder if it's going to kneecap the Paris real estate market for a few months, that would be a real tragedy.

Yeah the actual impact on real estate and financial services is only going to be felt around september. Those markets aren't spared, they are just so loving slow, the impact isn't felt yet.

Looks like this thread is relevant again since we're having a retread of the 2005 riots. This time it started with a motorcycle rider getting "accidentally" sent to the hospital by plainclothes police. Popular response pictured below:

The 2005 riots lasted 3 weeks, the current situation has only just entered day 4. Not sure how the lockdown will factor in this, it's clearly energized some rioters to vent their anger at the police but it might also be used to justify extra-violent blue interventions.

Good afternoon Kebab Zone, I hope everybody stayed safe during the pandemic. :)
Now that summer is here and we're slowly warming up to our favorite national pastime, I wanted to share some really gorgeous pictures from Serge D'Ignazio with you. They're in no specific order, some of these are from 2019 and some are from the recent BLM protests:

















The guy clearly deserves more views so feel free to browse: serge D'ignazio, on Flickr

I think June 16th is the next big date in the agenda, most medical personnel will be out in the streets across the country. Here's the list: https://www.facebook.com/events/860345131116813/
The Paris protest starts at St Lazare, 11am. I've taken the day off to join and I'm sure all the 8pm clappers will too. Just kidding, most will vote LREM in 2022 lol

There's a list of police killings between 2005 and 2015 here that being maintained by the families: http://www.urgence-notre-police-assassine.fr/123663553
(including quite a few people dying of strangulation)

As for the protests and marches you can get a decent idea here:
https://paris.demosphere.net/search?search=violence+polici%C3%A8re&allset=1&event-date=past&only-title=on&firstItem=0&itemsPerPage=1000

So probably between 200 and 250 since 2007 but that's obviously not including what happened in 2005 with Zyed and Bouna. Also pretty much every major protest nowadays has it's share of open anti-police sentiment.

Poor cop couldn't possibly have known that he risked hitting anybody when he shot a grenade at a residential building.

It's basically "the cop didn't kill the person, the grenade fired by the cop did kill that man". Pretty impressive.
