We are not talking about marginal restrictions. We are talking about a total gender apartheid » — Speaker 8 « Because, I want you respectfully to don't forget Afghanistan's women, be their voice, speak about them, don't forget them in your political decisions, negotiations, and recognize gender apartheid against women in Afghanistan » — Speaker 13 **The story of millions of Afghanistan's girls and women** « It's not just my life story, and not a simple book also.

They are forced to stay in the corners of their house. The average of forced marriage is very high » — Speaker 13 « But, unfortunately, with the returning of the Taliban, overnight we lost all of them. And exile in the different corners of the world and who didn't have this chance is now under the flag of a dictatorial regime » — Speaker 13 « But there is my homeland, I have the millions part of my heart who are all in prison of the Taliban.

- conferenza stampa di Michele Schiano di Official launch of Codice Zero pilot project for juvenile delinquency prevention Codice Zero is a pilot project born from four years of study to address juvenile distress and criminality. The initiative uses a predictive analysis model based on 82 official statistical parameters from sources like ISTAT and Eurostat. This system creates a fragility index from 0 to 100 for each province, focusing on aggregate and anonymous data such as school dropout rates and language skills to identify where youth are 'slipping' before they reach a judge. The project will initially act on four provinces—Napoli, Crotone, Bologna, and Rieti—through a four-step process involving ethical committees and school participation. It aims to build an observatory to make local signals readable for decision-makers. Data shows the urgency of the situation, with the number of minors in penal institutions nearly doubling in five years, rising from 381 in 2021 to 568 units. Beyond data, the project utilizes communication tools like a film and a podcast to reach youth with their own language. It also integrates satellite projects like 'Gusto e riscatto,' which uses professional cooking and vocational training as a 'gym for life' to teach discipline and respect for rules. The initiative emphasizes the fundamental roles of school and family in preventing the 'violentization' of the web and new forms of radicalization. • « It stems from a simple question: can we notice that a young person is slipping before they end up in front of a judge » (Speaker 33, 37:39) • « I consider the Codice Zero approach particularly significant, as it combines research, innovation, technology, and awareness-raising activities through a predictive analysis model based on 82 official statistical parameters » (Speaker 9, 07:26) • « The currently available data on minors, specifically regarding their presence in juvenile penal institutions, shows 568 units compared to 381 in 2021, so in 5 years it has almost doubled » (Speaker 29, 32:13) • « The pilot, as we have planned https://videos.polyfact.com/it-camera-32853-vod/manifest.m3u8 4185 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/876a77ce-b5c4-4ca5-a65a-dcc6ff8692fc-vod 2026-11-11 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/876a77ce-b5c4-4ca5-a65a-dcc6ff8692fc-vod/20261111213024/1280.jpg Lords Grand Committee Lords Grand Committee Debate on Forensic Science and National Drought Resilience The forensic science system in England and Wales is currently not working for the police, scientists, or lawyers. Responsibility is split between the Home Office and the Ministry of Justice, yet no minister has forensic science explicitly in their remit. The market is described as a near monopoly, with one provider, Eurofins, holding more than 80% of the external market share. This fragility, combined with a backlog of 20,000 digital devices and a decline in specialist disciplines like fibre science, jeopardizes criminal justice and risks miscarriages of justice. The Science and Technology Committee recommends establishing a National Institute for Forensic Science to oversee research, training, and best practice. England faces a potential public water supply deficit of 5 billion liters per day by 2055 due to climate change and population growth. While the country receives 10% more rainfall than in 1970, the challenge lies in storage and management. Leakage rates remain at 19%, accounting for almost 3 billion liters lost daily. Despite population growth, no new major reservoir has come into operation in the last decade, and the agricultural sector has suffered significant losses, with cereal harvests set to be the lowest ever recorded due to extreme weather. Government response includes accelerating the delivery of nine new reservoirs and exploring a drought data hub. There are calls to tighten building regulations to limit household water use to 105 liters per person per day and to make water companies statutory consultees on major planning decisions. Nature-based solutions, such as improving soil health to create spongy soils and protecting chalk streams, are prioritized as a first line of defense against the increasing risks of flooding and drought. • « Unfortunately, the forensic science system in England and Wales is not working for anyone. It's not working for the police. It's not working for forensic scientists.

The EU identifies 34 critical raw materials, 17 of which are strategic due to supply risks and their importance for technologies. However, global critical mineral investment fell by 9% in 2025, and speakers emphasized that mineral abundance does not automatically equate to industrial power. Africa's minesite mineral value is estimated at 29.5 trillion dollars, yet many countries remain locked in a cycle of exporting unprocessed materials while value is generated elsewhere. Parliamentarians called for a shift from simple extraction to privileged partnerships built around critical value chains. This involves supporting local and regional value addition, technology transfer, and the creation of decent jobs. Investment must extend beyond the 'pit-to-port' model to include processing facilities, special economic zones, and industrial parks. The Global Gateway initiative and development banks are identified as key tools to finance the necessary energy, transport, and social infrastructure required for these industrial transitions. Sustainability and social justice are central to the OACPS-EU partnership. Mining activities must address risks such as deforestation, water pollution, and the diversion of energy from domestic electrification. Speakers stressed the need for transparency, traceability, and the inclusion of civil society in negotiations to ensure that mineral security delivers development outcomes. The assembly emphasized that secure mineral supplies for the North and the industrial development of producing countries must advance together under the principles of the Samoa Agreement. • « Its central message is that secure mineral supplies and the industrial development of producing countries must advance together » (Intervenant 4, 02:02:07) • « Europe should not simply https://videos.polyfact.com/20261111-1700-DELEGATION-DACP-vod/manifest.m3u8 10249 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/20261111-1700-COMMITTEE-DACP-live 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/119590-house-committee-vod 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/it-camera-32852-vod 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/it-senato-126889-live 2026-11-11 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/it-senato-126889-live/20261111161534/1280.jpg Conferenza stampa: Presentazione della "Giornata mondiale del diabete" Presentazione della "Giornata mondiale del diabete".

The Federation's activities have expanded from collecting testimonies to promoting historical research and school education, achieving significant results such as the exhibition at the Vittoriano, which exceeded 400,000 visitors in one year. Despite these successes, the Federation reports a reduction in operational capacity due to rising costs for energy, transport, and printing, which have eroded the value of the funds provided by Law 72 of 2001. An intervention is requested to recover lost operational capacity and ensure continuity for cultural projects that consolidate relations with the countries of the Eastern Adriatic and support the enlargement process to the Balkans. Regarding regulatory and international matters, the critical issues of the new citizenship law were highlighted, as it is considered irrelevant for the territories of Istria and Dalmatia compared to other emigration contexts. Furthermore, the issue of recovering the amounts owed by Slovenia and Croatia under the Treaty of Osimo remains unresolved, a matter discussed for over 20 years without concrete results. • "The increase in the costs of energy, transport, printing, and professional services, which have progressively reduced the operational capacity of the funds provided by Law 72 of 2001, is evident to everyone" (Speaker 2, 10:18) • "FederEsuli can therefore contribute, while respecting the competencies of State institutions, to that dimension of Italian foreign policy expressed through so-called cultural diplomacy: the protection of historical and linguistic heritage and the consolidation of relations between communities that share a long common history" (Speaker 2, 06:32) • "It is particularly important, for example, to point out https://videos.polyfact.com/it-camera-32844-vod/manifest.m3u8 968 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/97f00b3c-9e88-4771-bb46-653cfa7a8a1c-vod 2026-11-11 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/97f00b3c-9e88-4771-bb46-653cfa7a8a1c-vod/20261111161604/1280.jpg Women and Equalities Committee Women and Equalities Committee inquiry on flexible working and disability at work The Women and Equalities Committee is examining the relationship between statutory flexible working and the duty to make reasonable adjustments under the Equality Act. Witnesses report that employers and employees often struggle with the distinction between these two separate pieces of legislation. While many reasonable adjustments are low or no cost, disability discrimination claims now account for 25% of early conciliation cases at Acas. Conflict in the workplace is frequently driven by how organizations respond to individual support needs rather than the disability itself. There are calls for a National Integrated Health and Work Service to address a fragmented system where the NHS focuses on diagnosis while small and medium enterprises lack occupational health provision. Survey data shows 73% of workers support universal local occupational health services with the ability to self-refer. Currently, work-related ill health affects 1.9 million people, costing the economy an estimated £22.9 billion through 40.1 million lost working days. Witnesses highlighted that the Access to Work scheme currently supports only about 1% of working disabled people, with many individuals unaware of its existence. There is a noted tension between raising awareness of the scheme and maintaining financial sustainability. To improve the transition into work, some suggest providing job-seeking disabled people with an advance indication of the support they would receive before they start a role. Effective management is identified as the primary factor in preventing workplace conflict. Line managers are encouraged to engage in prompt, open, and collaborative conversations, though many express anxiety over perceived fairness when granting adjustments. For public authorities, compliance with the public sector equality duty remains a core obligation, though some oversight bodies report that their discretionary funds for specific enforcement activity are now https://videos.polyfact.com/97f00b3c-9e88-4771-bb46-653cfa7a8a1c-vod/manifest.m3u8 4689 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/10ecc7a6-d621-44d2-9ce7-60e7a6af5879-vod 2026-11-11 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/10ecc7a6-d621-44d2-9ce7-60e7a6af5879-vod/20261111154559/1280.jpg Second Delegated Legislation Committee Second Delegated Legislation Committee on Cryptoasset Regulations and Digital Gilt Infrastructure Sandboxes The Second Delegated Legislation Committee met to consider draft regulations amending the Financial Services and Markets Act (FSMA) regarding cryptoassets and the addition of relevant enactments. Rt Hon Lucy Rigby KC MP stated that the amendments aim to provide firms with greater certainty to invest and innovate in the UK by refining the regulatory framework for stablecoins. Specifically, the instrument excludes UK-issued qualifying stablecoins from cryptoasset dealing and arranging activities, and excludes their temporary holding from safeguarding activities when connected to a payment transaction. Further amendments involve financial market infrastructure sandboxes, which allow firms to test new technologies in a live environment. The draft regulations add 10 enactments to the list of relevant enactments, covering areas such as debt issuance, company law, and payment services. These changes were identified during preparations for the government's digital gilt instrument, known as DIGIT, which is intended to be the first digital gilt issuance in the G7.

Critics argued that its projected 254 million tonnes of carbon emissions represent a dereliction of duty and are incompatible with the Paris Agreement. While some argued that domestic production is necessary for energy security and to avoid higher-carbon imports, others noted that 90% of the oil would be exported and that new drilling will not reduce international market prices or domestic energy bills. The West London Orbital rail project was presented as a strategic passenger service connecting Hounslow to Hendon using existing freight infrastructure. The scheme is expected to link 450,000 additional people to Old Oak Common and support the delivery of 25,000 new homes. Funding mechanisms discussed include capital grants for Transport for London and new powers for the Mayor of London to utilize business rates and local income tax shares. Parliamentarians also addressed the rising violence and abuse against emergency workers, with the RNLI reporting 140 instances of aggression in September alone and ambulance services recording over 22,000 violent incidents in 2024/25. The debate covered the need for stronger mental health support, the impact of far-right intimidation, and the adequacy of sentencing under the Assaults on Emergency Workers (Offences) Act 2018. Additionally, the carcinogenic risks faced by firefighters were highlighted as a priority for future legislative support. • « If the government is clear that climate change is no longer a distant threat, and clear that fossil fuels are driving climate breakdown, then why are they not clear that greenlighting Rosebank, the biggest undeveloped oil and gas field in the North Sea, is a complete dereliction of duty » (Intervenant 3, 00:37) • « If Rosebank is given the green light, its carbon emissions are projected to total a devastating 254 million tonnes. https://videos.polyfact.com/7026a51a-424c-47d0-bbe3-ddc5c25b95b9-vod/manifest.m3u8 12632 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/d92f5ad4-707b-45d0-9893-dc0eb3e58ab3-vod 2026-11-11 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/d92f5ad4-707b-45d0-9893-dc0eb3e58ab3-vod/20261111161611/1280.jpg Welsh Affairs Committee Welsh Affairs Committee Inquiry into Cross-Border Healthcare Arrangements Between England and Wales The Welsh Affairs Committee examined the complexities of cross-border healthcare, focusing on how patients in Wales access English hospitals for specialist services or due to geographic proximity. While the majority of referral pathways work within days, challenges remain for highly specialized services and for patients in areas like Powys, where the absence of district hospitals necessitates travel to English sites such as Shrewsbury or Telford. Witnesses noted that providers find it challenging to operate under two sets of commissioners with different approaches, particularly regarding waiting time systems. Digital connectivity is a primary barrier to seamless care. Currently, general practices and hospitals hold separate records, making the transfer of information between English and Welsh organizations difficult. NHS England officials highlighted the Data Use and Access Act as a tool to mandate standards on system suppliers, aiming for seamless access to data regardless of which side of the border it was created. While the NHS App in England and the NHS Wales App share a codebase, work is ongoing to ensure better digital integration and Welsh language support. Despite significant structural changes and a 50% reduction in Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) in England, officials committed to maintaining effective cross-border arrangements. The Department of Health and NHS England reaffirmed that the statement of values and principles regarding devolved countries remains a clear priority. Greater consistency in standards across governments and the standardization of waiting time systems were identified as the most significant factors for enabling equal access to care. • « There is also a really clear commitment from Department of Health and from NHS England while we exist, and as we move into new arrangements for the future that actually the statement of values and principles that an understanding about the https://videos.polyfact.com/d92f5ad4-707b-45d0-9893-dc0eb3e58ab3-vod/manifest.m3u8 4620 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/92aaefe8-cb19-4551-b161-7fe725ce7e2c-live 2026-11-11 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/92aaefe8-cb19-4551-b161-7fe725ce7e2c-live/20261111170100/1280.jpg Scottish Affairs Committee Subject: The dual role of the Lord Advocate Witness(es): The Rt Hon.

Under the Scotland Act, the Lord Advocate is required to exercise prosecutorial functions independently of any other person, and Wolffe asserts that the system has been and continues to be independent and undertaken with integrity, free from political interference. While acknowledging legitimate questions about the combination of functions, Wolffe highlights the advantages of the current model, such as securing ministerial oversight and ensuring the rule of law has a voice at the cabinet table. He notes that hiving off the prosecution system into an entirely institutionally independent body would remove the senior minister who currently defends that independence within government. Maintaining public confidence is identified as the critical underlying point. Wolffe suggests that if the current system cannot command such confidence, then reform must be considered, though he cautions that any changes should be clear-eyed about the complexities and trade-offs involved. He also notes that the lack of a visible, independent office of the Lord Advocate may contribute to misunderstandings regarding the role's constitutional safeguards. • « as a matter of constitutional propriety, and under the explicit terms of the Scotland Act, the Lord Advocate is required to exercise them independently of any other person. They are not ministerial functions, so ministers have no role » (Intervenant 2, 37:41) • « if the concern is about the independence of the prosecution of crime from political interference, this committee should be confident that the prosecution of crime in Scotland is has been and continues to be independent and undertaken with integrity » (Intervenant 2, 29:09) • « It is really important that the https://videos.polyfact.com/92aaefe8-cb19-4551-b161-7fe725ce7e2c-vod/manifest.m3u8 8202 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/97f00b3c-9e88-4771-bb46-653cfa7a8a1c-live 2026-11-11 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/97f00b3c-9e88-4771-bb46-653cfa7a8a1c-live/20261111161537/1280.jpg Women and Equalities Committee Subject: Equality at work: flexible working and disability Witness(es): Julie Dennis, Head of Inclusive Workplace Strategy and Policy, ACAS; John Kirkpatrick, Chief Executive Officer, Equality and Human Rights Commission; Claire McCartney, Senior Policy Adviser, Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD); Ruth Wilkinson, Head of Policy and Public Affairs, Institution of Occupational Safety and Health https://videos.polyfact.com/97f00b3c-9e88-4771-bb46-653cfa7a8a1c-live/manifest.m3u8 6768 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/bbf69bde-6cbd-4c38-95dc-0714a06eea26-vod 2026-11-11 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/bbf69bde-6cbd-4c38-95dc-0714a06eea26-vod/20261111161611/1280.jpg Human Rights (Joint Committee) Joint Committee on Human Rights Scrutiny of the Immigration and Asylum Bill The Joint Committee on Human Rights heard evidence regarding the Immigration and Asylum Bill, with witnesses expressing concern that the legislation may weaken protections for victims of modern slavery. While the UK identified over 23,000 victims last year, critics argue the bill turns indicators of exploitation—such as delayed or inconsistent accounts—into reasons for disbelief. This shift is described as incompatible with Article 4 of the ECHR and Article 13 of ECAT, particularly regarding the mandatory 30-day recovery and reflection period. Witnesses highlighted that the bill allows for the immediate termination of support following a negative decision, potentially exposing survivors to destitution and re-trafficking. There are specific concerns for children, as the legislation lacks a "best interests of the child" principle on its face and applies national security disqualifications to minors. Experts noted that a significant percentage of trafficking victims are British nationals who could also be negatively impacted by these changes. Regarding broader migration policy, the UNHCR and IOM raised alarms over measures that restrict access to rights based on arrival methods. The bill's provisions on the repayment of asylum support costs and the removal of permanent settlement pathways were cited as obstacles to integration. Witnesses urged the government to maintain a distinction between modern slavery and migration policy, warning that the current approach risks undermining efforts to hold traffickers to account while failing to deter dangerous journeys. • « I believe that this bill will not bring any real change to stop slavery, but it will make it worse. It does not support the survivor, it gives a safe and stronger hand to the perpetrator » (Intervenant 6, 02:39) • « the bill, effectively, is turning indicators of exploitation into indicators of disbelief, and we're actually this bill is actually putting into law the very same fears https://videos.polyfact.com/bbf69bde-6cbd-4c38-95dc-0714a06eea26-vod/manifest.m3u8 5610 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/4f224fe1-0b7b-4107-a8a9-833b00d9e42b-vod 2026-11-11 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/4f224fe1-0b7b-4107-a8a9-833b00d9e42b-vod/20261111173108/1280.jpg Treasury Committee Treasury Committee Hearing on Budget 2026 with Chancellor John Healey Chancellor John Healey described the 2026 Budget as a breathing space budget, designed to avoid across-the-board tax rises while addressing cost-of-living pressures. The Treasury is managing a £14 billion increase in debt interest costs driven by the Middle Eastern conflict, leading to the creation of a new Treasury Middle East response group. To maintain fiscal discipline, the government is utilizing a reduced headroom buffer of £15 billion to absorb economic strain. The budget prioritizes innovation through a £500 million funding round for the AI chip firm Fractile and a new data center compact that requires clear community benefits. The government also confirmed its commitment to raising defense spending to 3.5% by 2035 as part of its NATO obligations, which includes fully funding the Defence Investment Plan and initiating treaty negotiations for a multinational defense bank. On local growth, the Chancellor emphasized fiscal devolution to put resources in the hands of local leaders, supported by £150 million for capacity building and the creation of local accounting officers. For households, the budget includes a £100 direct payment for 20 million households and an extension of the fuel duty freeze. A pension tax allowance was also introduced to ensure those on the full new state pension are not drawn into paying income tax. Addressing information security, the Chancellor introduced national security-style information controls following a leak of bank tax information to Bloomberg. An investigation by the Government Security Group in the Cabinet Office has been commissioned to address how specific tax rate information was released prematurely, which the Treasury noted had moved markets. • « And with this continuing conflict with Iran, with the crisis in global energy prices and with the huge upheaval in government bond markets, I took the view that what Britain needed was a breathing space budget » (Intervenant 11, 15:25) • « one of the most https://videos.polyfact.com/4f224fe1-0b7b-4107-a8a9-833b00d9e42b-vod/manifest.m3u8 10161 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/4f224fe1-0b7b-4107-a8a9-833b00d9e42b-live 2026-11-11 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/4f224fe1-0b7b-4107-a8a9-833b00d9e42b-live/20261111173032/1280.jpg Treasury Committee Subject: Budget 2026 Witness(es): Rt Hon John Healey MP, Chancellor of the Exchequer, HM Treasury; Dharmesh Nayee, Director of Strategy, Planning and Budget, HM Treasury; James Bowler CB, Permanent Secretary, HM Treasury https://videos.polyfact.com/4f224fe1-0b7b-4107-a8a9-833b00d9e42b-live/manifest.m3u8 11710 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/bbf69bde-6cbd-4c38-95dc-0714a06eea26-live 2026-11-11 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/bbf69bde-6cbd-4c38-95dc-0714a06eea26-live/20261111161550/1280.jpg Human Rights (Joint Committee) Subject: Legislative Scrutiny: Immigration and Asylum Bill Witness(es): Eleanor Lyons, Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner, Independent Anti-slavery Commissioner; Eleonora Fais, Anti-Trafficking Monitoring Group Coordinator, Anti-slavery International; Professor Parosha Chandran, Barrister, One Pump Court Witness(es): Christa Rottensteiner, Chief of Mission, International Organization for Migration (IOM); Vicky Tennant, UNHCR Representative to the United Kingdom, UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR); Dr Patrick Burland, Senior Project and Policy Officer, International Organization for Migration (IOM) https://videos.polyfact.com/bbf69bde-6cbd-4c38-95dc-0714a06eea26-live/manifest.m3u8 7188 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/I-297572-vod 2026-11-11 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/I-297572-vod/20261111160054/1280.jpg European Commission President Ursula von der LEYEN in Antalya, Türkiye for the COP31 European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen National Statement in Antalya, Türkiye Ursula von der Leyen states that the world is at a global tipping point, citing devastating floods, droughts, and wildfires alongside energy supply disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. With the United Nations reporting that the world is on course to overshoot the 1.5 degree target, she emphasizes that Europe will play its part by doubling down on climate commitments. Europe is on track to cut emissions by more than half by 2030 and has set a course for a 90% reduction by 2040, aiming to become the first climate neutral continent by 2050. To support this, von der Leyen backs the 35 by 35 global electrification pledge. The European Union's own Electrification Action Plan aims to double electricity in final energy use to 46% by 2040, building on the fact that over 70% of its electricity already comes from clean sources. As the world's largest provider of climate finance, Europe contributed more than 32 billion euro to support developing countries last year. Through Global Gateway, more than 300 billion euro in sustainable investments have been mobilized. Von der Leyen concludes that while climate impacts are increasingly clear, the future is still for the world to decide through global partnerships and clean economies. • « The world is witnessing the cost of continuing with a status quo for our climate and for our energy security. We are at a global tipping point. The latest United Nations report is clear. We are on course to overshoot the 1.5 degree target and every fraction of a degree matters. So, we must double down and Europe will play its part » (Ursula von der Leyen, 00:35) • « Let me highlight three points. First, we deliver on our climate commitments. We are on track to meet our 2030 climate target of cutting emissions by more than half and we've set course to cut emissions by 2040 by 90%.

Key initiatives include a Quality Jobs Act, a European Democracy Shield, and a Safety in Politics initiative to address violence against elected representatives. The programme also features a review of Nature Protection Directives and a package to facilitate affordable housing. However, some members criticized the plan for potential deregulation and a lack of focus on social and environmental protections. The session addressed concerns regarding media freedom in the Czech Republic, specifically a draft law to abolish license fees for public service media. Commissioner Michael McGrath emphasized that national legislation must guarantee adequate and predictable financial resources for public broadcasters. Critics argued that shifting to state funding would allow political majorities to exert economic pressure on journalists, while supporters of the reform noted that similar funding models exist in other EU member states. Regarding the Union Civil Protection Mechanism (UCPM), the Commission proposed a single instrument to integrate civil protection with health emergency preparedness. This includes establishing a Crisis Coordination Hub and strengthening civil-military cooperation. While some members called for a robust 11 billion euro budget to address climate-related disasters and hybrid threats, others expressed concern over potential duplication of funding and the need to respect member states' competences. Kaja Kallas reported that over 20,500 Ukrainian children have been illegally deported to Russia, a policy approved by Vladimir Putin.

Verso la competitività sostenibile”. Saluto del segretario di presidenza della Camera, Francesco Battistoni. Programma https://videos.polyfact.com/it-camera-32843-live/manifest.m3u8 5432 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/it-camera-32843-vod 2026-11-11 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/it-camera-32843-vod/20261111160056/1280.jpg Rapporto 2026 - Verso la competitività sostenibile - Saluto di Battistoni 2026 Report: Towards sustainable competitiveness at the Sala della Regina in Montecitorio The 2026 Report highlights the overcoming of the opposition between sustainability and industrial competitiveness. Between 2008 and 2024, the Italian food industry increased production by 12% and value added by 61%, while simultaneously reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 27%. The sector currently generates 42.3 billion euros in value added with a positive trade balance of 14.3 billion, while agri-food exports have exceeded the record of 72 billion euros. The transition towards sustainability must not turn into a set of ideological constraints or bureaucratic requirements. Institutions are called upon to support businesses, particularly SMEs, with concrete tools and decisive regulatory simplification. In the energy sector, it is noted that 90% of companies use energy from renewable sources, although disparities in energy costs compared to other European countries remain due to the different technological mix. Food security and the protection of supply chains require investments in water infrastructure and technological innovation. Recently, a 150 million euro measure was activated for the cybersecurity of small and medium-sized enterprises, necessary to counter cyberattacks affecting refrigeration and supermarkets. The government also confirms support measures such as the elimination of personal income tax (IRPEF) for farmers and the allocation of over one billion euros for the reduction of excise duties on agricultural diesel. • « I believe this study has a particular merit: it helps us overcome a contradiction that has characterized public debate for too long, that between sustainability and industrial competitiveness » (Speaker 1, 03:12) • « Between 2008 and 2024, the Italian food industry increased production by 12%, value added by 61%, jobs by 43%, and at the same time we reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 27% » (Speaker 1, 03:27) • « And these results, as Mascarino said earlier, make Italy and the system results: https://videos.polyfact.com/it-camera-32843-vod/manifest.m3u8 5446 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/it-camera-32847-live 2026-11-11 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/it-camera-32847-live/20261111151525/1280.jpg DL 190/2026 Criminalità minorile - Audizione OCF e UCPI; Save the Children, Antigone, e Amnesty La Commissione Giustizia svolge le seguenti audizioni: 15.00 Organismo Congressuale Forense (OCF) e Unione Camere Penali Italiane (UCPI) 15.20 Save The Children, Antigone e Amnesty International 15.45 Gaetano Azzariti, professore di diritto costituzionale presso l’Università degli Studi “Sapienza. https://videos.polyfact.com/it-camera-32847-live/manifest.m3u8 3841 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/it-camera-32847-vod 2026-11-11 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/it-camera-32847-vod/20261111153056/1280.jpg DL 190/2026 Criminalità minorile - Audizione OCF e UCPI; Save the Children, Antigone, e Amnesty Hearing on Law Decree 190 of 2026 and juvenile delinquency before the Justice Commission Bill 3159 for the conversion of Law Decree 190 of 2026 introduces measures that lead to a weakening of the specialized nature of the juvenile justice system. Experts point to a reversal of the criteria for juvenile criminal responsibility, shifting from a case-by-case assessment to a presumption of capacity to understand and intend until proven otherwise. Furthermore, the presumption of the adequacy of prison for serious crimes is extended to sixteen-year-olds. The hearings highlight constitutional concerns regarding the use of emergency decrees and the vagueness of the regulatory requirements. There is a fear of increasing criminalization of the right to protest and dissent, with the extension of repressive tools that limit personal freedom without a judge's order, such as the detention for identification purposes which can last up to 12 hours. On a social level, data indicate a declining youth population living in absolute poverty. Administrative sanctions and claims for damages against parents risk privatizing social distress, burdening families already struggling with educational challenges. The speakers suggest that overcoming distress in the suburbs would require schools and gyms in addition to law enforcement, rebuilding the educational pact between generations. • « We find the reversal of the criteria for determining juvenile criminal responsibility particularly serious because it seems to us to be in conflict with the entire constitutional jurisprudence, with European directives, and also with scientific principles » (Speaker 2, 03:54) • « We are playing with fire, because sooner or later a ruling from the Constitutional Court will arrive that will in some way invalidate the constitutional foundations, and this is one of the most at-risk decrees » (Speaker 35, 39:08) • « The measures that are intended to be introduced essentially aim at, I don't know if the term is too strong, dismantling, but in any case at a https://videos.polyfact.com/it-camera-32847-vod/manifest.m3u8 2804 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/it-senato-126886-live 2026-11-11 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/it-senato-126886-live/20261111164545/1280.jpg Convegno: 3 Tre Fis Ski World Cup Madonna di Campiglio 3 Tre Fis Ski World Cup Madonna di Campiglio.

I would like to summarize it in three words: sustainable, clean and safe » — Speaker 7 « Sustainable because it is something different from what we have known in the past. It no longer needs large spaces, it no longer needs large infrastructure, it will be possible thanks to the, let's say, reduction in scale of the dimensions of the new infrastructure » — Speaker 7 « Safe because new technologies today allow us to use nuclear power, will allow us to spread nuclear power in our country through technical solutions that will no longer threaten the safety of citizens » — Speaker 7 « nuclear power today is safe and is not an alternative to renewables, but is complementary, indeed it allows for the definitive abandonment of carbonization » — Speaker 16 « SMR, Small Modular Reactors, which are new generation modular reactors, let's call them prefabricated, which allow for a very rapid construction speed » — Speaker 15 **Energy sovereignty and industrial policy** « Today talking about nuclear energy means talking about industrial policy.

Industry representatives point out that the measure is extremely important as it concerns essential technologies and goods for infrastructure and strategic sectors managed by public demand. However, concerns are emerging regarding the transition from a directive to a regulation, which could impose overly stringent limits on the participation of small and medium-sized enterprises. Associations highlight a lack of guarantees regarding contractual balance compared to the national code. In particular, the obligation to include extraordinary price revision clauses would become a mere option in the new regulation. There is also a request to safeguard the system of Attestation Bodies (SOA), considered a virtuous model that guarantees the qualification of companies and interoperability between national databases. On the sustainability front, it is recalled that European public administrations spend approximately 2.6 trillion euros each year, a powerful lever for low-emission products. It is proposed to reserve a binding minimum quota for climate performance and to define uniform criteria for high-emission sectors such as steel, cement, and concrete. Finally, there is a call to maintain the principle of European preference to enhance the value created within the Union. • « The agenda includes: Informal hearings of representatives of ANIMA Confindustria in the context of the examination, for the purpose of verifying compliance with the principle of subsidiarity, of the proposal for a regulation of the Parliament and of the Council regarding public procurement and concessions » (Alessandro Giglio Vigna, 00:01) • « Today, the Italian legislator has provided, by virtue of the principle of Article 9 on maintaining balance, the obligation to include the extraordinary price revision clause within the lex specialis https://videos.polyfact.com/it-camera-32806-vod/manifest.m3u8 4273 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/de-bt-live-20261111-107-p1-live 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/it-camera-32812-live 2026-11-11 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/it-camera-32812-live/20261111160042/1280.jpg Disegno di legge di bilancio per il 2027 (C. 3174-bis) - Audizioni - ISTAT - Confindustria - Presso la Sala del Mappamondo di Montecitorio, le Commissioni riunite Bilancio di Camera e Senato svolgono le seguenti audizioni nell'ambito dell'attività conoscitiva preliminare all’esame del disegno di legge recante bilancio di previsione dello Stato per l’anno finanziario 2027 e bilancio pluriennale per il triennio 2027-2029, ai sensi dell’articolo 119, comma 3, del Regolamento della Camera e dell’articolo 48 del Regolamento del Senato: ore 14 ISTAT ore 14.30 Confindustria ore 15 Conferenza delle regioni e delle province autonome ore 15.30 ANCI e UPI. https://videos.polyfact.com/it-camera-32812-live/manifest.m3u8 8210 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/it-camera-32812-vod 2026-11-11 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/it-camera-32812-vod/20261111160059/1280.jpg Disegno di legge di bilancio per il 2027 (C. 3174-bis) - Audizioni - ISTAT - Confindustria - Presso la Sala del Mappamondo di Montecitorio, le Commissioni riunite Bilancio di Camera e Senato hanno svolto le seguenti audizioni nell'ambito dell'attività conoscitiva preliminare all’esame del disegno di legge recante bilancio di previsione dello Stato per l’anno finanziario 2027 e bilancio pluriennale per il triennio 2027-2029, ai sensi dell’articolo 119, comma 3, del Regolamento della Camera e dell’articolo 48 del Regolamento del Senato: ore 14 ISTAT ore 14.30 Confindustria ore 15 Conferenza delle regioni e delle province autonome ore 15.30 ANCI e UPI. https://videos.polyfact.com/it-camera-32812-vod/manifest.m3u8 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/it-camera-32841-live 2026-11-11 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/it-camera-32841-live/20261111130039/1280.jpg Interrogazioni a risposta immediata - Ministero del Lavoro e delle Politiche sociali Alle ore 14, la Commissione Lavoro svolge interrogazioni a risposta immediata su questioni di competenza del Ministero del Lavoro e delle Politiche sociali. https://videos.polyfact.com/it-camera-32841-live/manifest.m3u8 2150 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/it-camera-32841-vod 2026-11-11 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/it-camera-32841-vod/20261111140105/1280.jpg Interrogazioni a risposta immediata - Ministero del Lavoro e delle Politiche sociali Alle ore 14, la Commissione Lavoro ha svolto interrogazioni a risposta immediata su questioni di competenza del Ministero del Lavoro e delle Politiche sociali. https://videos.polyfact.com/it-camera-32841-vod/manifest.m3u8 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/I-297340-vod 2026-11-11 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/I-297340-vod/20261111160108/1280.jpg European Commission President Ursula von der LEYEN in Antalya, Türkiye for the COP31 European Commission President Ursula von der LEYEN in Antalya, Türkiye for the COP31 **Global temperature rise and climate science** « And international climate cooperation with national efforts is delivering, driving down the global temperature rise from well over 4°, a death sentence for every economy, to around 2.6° today » — Intervenant 3 « Last year, total carbon emissions hit a record 42 billion tons.

These environments offer a competitive advantage to the UK, signaling that the FCA is pro-innovation and helping the industry learn what will be tolerable within the existing regulatory framework. However, some witnesses argue that sandboxes have become bureaucratised and expensive, potentially doubling the cost for early-stage companies that must still apply for full authorisation. There is a concern that sandboxes may be used as a parking bay for difficult cases or as an alternative to making clear regulatory decisions. While the cohort-based model once provided a positive signal to investors, that differentiation has somewhat dissipated as the focus shifts to thematic areas like the Digital Securities Sandbox and stablecoins. For many startups, the time and resources required to enter a sandbox may not be worth the return compared to pursuing direct authorisation. To maintain world-class standards, regulators must balance their primary objectives of financial stability and consumer protection with a willingness to take a certain amount of risk in pursuit of growth. Witnesses suggested that ministers should clarify what counts as tolerable risk so regulators are not penalised for supporting innovation. Ultimately, a high-performing regulator should integrate innovation into its day-to-day operations rather than isolating it in a separate space. • « They give the UK competitive advantage, and they help us to stay at the forefront of innovative technology and innovative regulation » (Intervenant 4, 04:39) • « they argued that what one of the aspects of the sandboxes these days was how very expensive it was to apply and to enter the sandbox and that it's the expense, the funds are better spent simply preparing your materials for authorisation https://videos.polyfact.com/a6f0569e-ab40-4500-912a-649c776af048-vod/manifest.m3u8 4355 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/a3316f04-e1c2-4655-9a01-3ce01aa09876-vod 2026-11-11 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/a3316f04-e1c2-4655-9a01-3ce01aa09876-vod/20261111213024/1280.jpg House of Commons House of Commons Debate on Child Poverty, Welfare Reform, and Employer Taxation The government has introduced a Child Poverty Strategy with measures expected to lift over half a million children out of poverty by 29-30. To support this, a new class unit has been established within the government to focus on barriers to opportunity. However, some members expressed concern that replacing independent scrutiny with internal bodies weakens oversight. In Scotland, child poverty remains a critical issue, with Edinburgh reported to have more homeless children than the whole of Wales. Significant debate centered on the rising cost of welfare, with the bill projected to grow by £57.7 billion between 2024 and 2032. Spending on disability benefits alone reached £45 billion last year and is forecast to hit almost £70 billion by 31-32. Proposed reforms include shifting from cash handouts to therapeutic support for certain conditions and enacting a socioeconomic duty for public authorities. Critics noted that 53.3% of the population now live in households receiving more from the state than they contribute. Employers and business representatives raised alarms over the increase in National Insurance contributions, which rose from 13.8% to 15% while the payment threshold was lowered from £9,100 to £5,000. Opposition members proposed halving National Insurance for workers aged 21 to 24 to stimulate hiring. The government defended its fiscal choices as necessary for NHS funding, highlighting the £3,000 youth jobs grant and a £2,000 hiring payment for smaller employers to incentivize taking on young people who have been on Universal Credit for six months. • « Measures in the Child Poverty Strategy are expected to lift over half a million children out of poverty in 29-30.

While these fora have produced significant outputs such as the Hiroshima process, their work generally takes the form of non-binding instruments. There is a recognized need for binding requirements and the operationalisation of principles through implementation guidance, tools, and regulatory cooperation. However, current US administration appetite for binding rules is low, and US participation is considered critical for regulatory regimes relying on market access. The UK is seen as playing an international leadership role, particularly through its AI Safety Institute, which acts as a proof of concept and custodian for a global network of similar institutes. Witnesses suggested the UK could use its upcoming G20 and G7 presidencies to drive alignment across different initiatives. There is also a call to shift the policy paradigm regarding frontier AI safety, moving the burden of proof for safety onto developers and treating safety as a requirement rather than a good-faith effort. Effective global governance faces challenges regarding participation and representation. Fora like the OECD and G7 do not include China or global south perspectives, yet broad international agreement is necessary for issues like human agency in weapon systems. Middle powers may act as a catalyst to bring the US and China together for essential discussions. Additionally, while industry engagement from AI labs is strong, there are concerns that these companies are attempting to define the terms on which they are governed through heavy lobbying. • « one important feature, I think, of the work in those fora, in all three of them, is that generally outputs take the form of non-binding instruments or non-binding outputs.

A third of these children are deprived of their liberty. Due to a lack of sufficiency in beds and places, judges are sometimes forced to place children in prisons alongside killers and murderers. The Commissioner notes that 80% of children's care homes are run by a small number of hedge funders and argues that there should be no profit-making in the sector. Data shows that children are often given a choice between bad or terrible outcomes, with 89% of children in Westminster placed out of area. The Commissioner highlights that Ofsted continues to grade areas as great despite experiences to the contrary. There is a call for Ofsted to hurry up with registering homes, as some local authorities have bought their own homes but cannot get them inspected. The Department for Education's social care department is described as being deafening in its silence on these challenges. To address systemic silos, the Commissioner recommends the implementation of a unique ID and a digitized system for data sharing. This would ensure that children do not bounce between services without social care engagement, as seen in cases involving the Southport killer and children referred to Prevent. A children's test for outcomes and the appointment of a deputy mayor for children in each devolution area are proposed to oversee and sort out these issues. Regarding family support, the Commissioner emphasizes that early years education is critical for outcomes. While there is a national aim to recruit 10,000 new foster carers, the current campaign lacks a proper website to pick up potential parents. Most children entering fostering now have complex needs. The public expresses a desire for support that feels local, familial, and sustained, starting with their own families and trusted friends before the state https://videos.polyfact.com/817a617d-f9e5-4b7d-b7a9-8c1449c81f42-vod/manifest.m3u8 3894 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/I-297122-vod 2026-11-11 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/I-297122-vod/20261111140107/1280.jpg College read-out / Press conference (with international sign language) by European Commission European Commission presents Digital Fairness Act and Consumer Protection Cooperation Regulation revision Executive Vice-President Henna Virkkunen and Commissioner Michael McGrath have introduced a consumer package featuring the Digital Fairness Act and a revision of the Consumer Protection Cooperation Regulation. This reform, described as the most significant in over 20 years, aims to modernize consumer protection for the digital age by tackling manipulative design practices known as dark patterns. These techniques currently cost consumers €10.3 billion annually. The proposals target addictive digital features such as endless scrolling and auto-play, giving consumers the choice to turn them off. Specific protections are introduced for minors, including a prohibition on gambling-simulating loot boxes and pay-to-win mechanisms in video games. For adults, the rules ensure transparency regarding virtual currencies and simplify the cancellation of digital contracts and subscriptions. Companies will also be required to provide access to human customer service rather than relying solely on chatbots. To ensure harmonized enforcement across the EU, the Commission is proposing direct investigative and enforcement powers for large-scale cross-border breaches. Non-EU companies will be required to appoint a legal representative within the Union. By replacing 27 different national regimes with a single set of rules, the Commission aims to simplify operations for cross-border businesses while making it harder to engage in unfair commercial practices. • « The Digital Fairness Act, together with the update to the Consumer Protection Cooperation Regulation, represents the most significant reform of EU consumer protection rules in more than 20 years » (Michael McGrath, 04:38) • « And these techniques come at a real financial cost: consumers are losing €10.3 billion every year.

The government is committed to building 14,000 more places by 2031 at a cost of £5 billion, though only 3,300 have been completed. A review of the prison system led by Amber Rudd is currently underway to address an estate that is old and underinvested. A new 'progression model' for sentencing has been introduced, where offenders spend one third of their sentence in custody and one third under significant control in the community. However, concerns were raised that active supervision for those on licence may only last 16 weeks, after which there is no requirement for contact with a probation officer. The Ministry is also addressing a 'donuted workforce' in the probation service, where a lack of middle-career staff hampers the mentoring of new recruits. Regarding electronic monitoring, the committee highlighted that only 55% of tags are fitted properly and some offenders leave prison without them. The Lord Chancellor expressed a desire to potentially exit contracts with providers found to have committed fraud, such as Serco, and indicated an interest in insourcing these services. Additionally, the department is using AI to transcribe over a million probation meetings as part of its Justice AI programme. In the courts, delays are exacerbated by a shortage of judges and legal advisors. The Lord Chancellor reaffirmed his commitment to the independence of the Judicial Appointments Commission and acknowledged that juror pay has not kept pace with the cost of living. The government is also working on legislation to prevent powerful individuals from using the court system to silence others through SLAPPs. • « Firstly, a crisis in prison places that mean that if we hadn't taken the action we took in the Sentencing Act and over the summer, we would have run out of prison places any https://videos.polyfact.com/e1dcfd2f-e1c5-46fd-b401-02712f2122e4-vod/manifest.m3u8 5219 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/8d724643-f4ad-4333-a06c-d652967935d0-vod 2026-11-11 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/8d724643-f4ad-4333-a06c-d652967935d0-vod/20261111151559/1280.jpg Constitution Committee Constitution Committee **Civil Service and Ethics Commission** « I do regard the Civil Service Commission as an integral part of the constitutional framework of this country » — Intervenant 2 « The reason why it's an important element is that we now regulate and advise on the entire career cycle of a civil servant » — Intervenant 2 « So, what we're driving at is we should spend as much energy on preventing wrong decisions being taken, ensuring that the system works, educating everyone what is expected of them, to ensure that the system functions properly » — Intervenant 2 « So, we are slightly different as the Ethics and Integrity Commission, and I was the chair of the Committee on Standards in Public Life before I became the chair of the EIC » — Intervenant 6 « In the growing in to be in the EIC, we've been given a few extra remits, one of which is to keep on doing what CSPL did, a more formal element on engagement, and that comes back into the educator word you heard both of us talk about so far already » — Intervenant 6 « I think given now the role that's been given to that post about advising the prime minister, running investigations and running the business appointment rules for exiting and um in ministers, I think that role should now be statutory » — Intervenant 6 « we have benefited from a statutory basis and particularly there's one line in there which leads to your second question, and that is that special advisers can have not have any role in appointing civil servants and that actually is a line in the statute » — Intervenant 2 **Electoral System and Public Trust** « the answer to your question is yes, we are definitely part of this system, and that was what CSPL recommended and was taken up in Parliament, that there should be a body that has the duty to give independent oversight to elections across the UK » — Intervenant 15 « We have a whole range of threats coming down the line, and if you think of the electoral system as part of critical national infrastructure, which we do, we need to renew our https://videos.polyfact.com/8d724643-f4ad-4333-a06c-d652967935d0-vod/manifest.m3u8 7914 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/8d724643-f4ad-4333-a06c-d652967935d0-live 2026-11-11 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/8d724643-f4ad-4333-a06c-d652967935d0-live/20261111131524/1280.jpg Constitution Committee Subject: The UK’s constitutional safeguards Witness(es): Doug Chalmers CB DSO OBE, Chair, Ethics and Integrity Commission; Vijay Rangarajan, Chief Executive, Electoral Commission; John Pullinger, Chair, Electoral Commission; The Rt Hon. the Baroness Stuart of Edgbaston, First Civil Service Commissioner, Civil Service Commission Witness(es): Morgan McSweeney, former Chief of Staff to Prime Minister Keir Starmer, 10 Downing Street https://videos.polyfact.com/8d724643-f4ad-4333-a06c-d652967935d0-live/manifest.m3u8 9418 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/e1dcfd2f-e1c5-46fd-b401-02712f2122e4-live 2026-11-11 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/e1dcfd2f-e1c5-46fd-b401-02712f2122e4-live/20261111124531/1280.jpg Justice and Home Affairs Committee Subject: Work of the Ministry of Justice Witness(es): The Rt Hon Alex Norris MP, Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State, Ministry of Justice https://videos.polyfact.com/e1dcfd2f-e1c5-46fd-b401-02712f2122e4-live/manifest.m3u8 8035 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/it-camera-32849-vod 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/I-297604-vod 2026-11-11 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/I-297604-vod/20261111113115/1280.jpg College read-out / Press conference by European Commission Executive Vice-President Henna VIRKKUNEN European Commission College read-out on Digital Fairness Act and consumer enforcement initiative The European Commission is proposing targeted legislation to address harmful and unfair digital practices, moving from guidelines to a harmonized regulation. Executive Vice-President Henna Virkkunen and Commissioner Michael McGrath highlighted that the Digital Fairness Act will replace 27 different regimes with one set of simple rules, creating a single market for cross-border companies. This includes simplification measures such as a simplified right of withdrawal for audio and video service subscriptions. For minors, the proposal introduces a prohibition on the most harmful practices in video games, specifically loot boxes, paid-for random rewards, and pay-to-win or pay-to-progress mechanisms. By default, minors will be prevented from investing money unless parents decide otherwise. While addictive design is prohibited for minors, the approach for adults is based on optionality. Adults will have the choice to switch off features like infinite scrolling, autoplay, and notifications not triggered by specific activity. Regarding data and vulnerability, the Commission aims to ensure that traders do not use vast amounts of data to target vulnerable people. Sensitive data—including ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation—should not be the basis for direct personalized targeting. Commissioner McGrath also noted that while transparency is needed for gambling-simulating features, they occupy a different space than the prohibited gaming mechanisms. On enforcement, the revised CPC regulation will allow the Commission to take charge of certain cases, at which point individual national actions will be stood down to avoid businesses dealing with multiple actors. However, the vast majority of consumer breaches will still be handled by national authorities. Transitional provisions will ensure that the existing regulation continues to apply to investigations already ongoing at the time of adoption. • « And then, for minors, paid https://videos.polyfact.com/I-297604-vod/manifest.m3u8 1596 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/602fe12a-e98f-447d-8efa-5f3efbce71bb-vod 2026-11-11 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/602fe12a-e98f-447d-8efa-5f3efbce71bb-vod/20261111151559/1280.jpg Northern Ireland Affairs Committee Northern Ireland Affairs Committee **Cross-Border Information and Legislation** « We have always aspired towards being able to have information disclosure protocols with Ireland in exactly the same way as we have with agencies within the United Kingdom » — Intervenant 3 « the position, as we understand it, remains as explained by the Garda Commissioner to us in January when we met him, that the political direction was that they were not in the position to provide information at this stage » — Intervenant 3 « There's absolutely no question about the fact that Ireland is waiting to see the bill that the Northern that the United Kingdom passes.

The measures address digital practices that mislead or manipulate consumers, such as dark patterns, hidden fees, and addictive features like endless scrolling. These techniques currently result in consumers losing 10.3 billion euro every year. The new rules will require influencers to disclose advertising and prohibit the exploitation of children through gambling-simulating loot boxes or pressure to pay in video games. Subscriptions will become easier to cancel, with mandatory reminders before free trials convert to paid plans. In the event ticket sector, companies must show real-time and maximum possible prices to consumers in virtual queues. Additionally, consumers will be entitled to reach a human being in customer service rather than being restricted to chatbots. To ensure these rights are upheld, the Commission is proposing direct powers to investigate and fine companies in large-scale cases, with penalties of up to 6% of worldwide annual turnover. Non-EU companies will be required to appoint a legal representative within the European Union. The reform aims to speed up cooperation between national authorities and ensure that responsible businesses are not undercut by competitors who evade the rules. • « Thank you very much EVP and good morning everybody.

Our existing consumer laws were https://videos.polyfact.com/I-297603-vod/manifest.m3u8 409 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/I-297204-vod 2026-11-11 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/I-297204-vod/20261111103059/1280.jpg College read-out / Press conference by European Commission Executive Vice-President Henna VIRKKUNEN European Commission presents Digital Fairness Act and consumer enforcement initiative Executive Vice-President Henna Virkkunen and Commissioner Michael McGrath presented a consumer package consisting of the Digital Fairness Act and a revision of the Consumer Protection Cooperation Regulation. The initiative aims to modernize consumer protection for the digital age, tackling unfair commercial practices such as manipulative design practices, also known as dark patterns, and fake urgency tactics. The Digital Fairness Act is designed to empower consumers by providing control over addictive digital features like endless scrolling and making digital contracts easier to cancel. It also seeks to increase transparency in influencer marketing and personalized commercial practices. Targeted amendments to the Consumer Rights Directive will streamline information requirements for repeat in-app purchases and clarify cancellation procedures for digital media subscriptions. To ensure effective enforcement, the Commission is proposing direct investigation and sanctioning powers for very large-scale cases impacting the single market. These powers include the ability to impose fines of up to 6% of a trader's worldwide annual turnover. The proposal also aims to improve coordination for cross-border enforcement actions by national authorities and strengthen measures against non-EU traders. • « Thank you very much, and good morning everybody, and welcome to today's College read-out. Today, we present a consumer package here, together with Commissioner McGrath. And this package has two proposals, so, the Digital Fairness Act, to simplify and modernize consumer protection for the digital age, and the revision of Consumer Protection Cooperation Regulation, to make enforcement of EU consumer law more effective and more coherent. We know that in recent years, the European Union has set a global standard for a safe, secure and fair online world, for citizens and for our businesses alike » (Mme Henna VIRKKUNEN, 00:23) • « We are giving the https://videos.polyfact.com/I-297204-vod/manifest.m3u8 277 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/I-297626-vod 2026-11-11 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/I-297626-vod/20261111120124/1280.jpg College read-out / Press conference by European Commission Executive Vice-President Henna VIRKKUNEN European Commission presents Digital Fairness Act to modernize consumer protection rules The European Commission has introduced the Digital Fairness Act and a revision of the Consumer Protection Cooperation Regulation. This package represents the most significant reform of EU consumer protection rules in over 20 years, aiming to create a safety net for the digital age. By replacing 27 different regimes with a single set of harmonized rules, the Commission intends to simplify cross-border business while tackling unfair commercial practices that cost consumers 10.3 billion euro annually. The reform targets addictive digital features such as endless scrolling, auto-play videos, and notifications. Consumers will gain the right to choose whether these features are on or off. The Act also addresses "subscription traps" and requires companies to provide meaningful human assistance in customer service rather than leaving consumers with chatbots. Furthermore, the proposal extends Digital Services Act provisions on unfair personalization to all online traders, prohibiting the use of sensitive data like ethnicity or sexual orientation for direct targeting. Specific protections are introduced for minors, including a ban on paid-for random rewards, loot boxes, and "pay to win" or "pay to progress" mechanisms. For adults, these features must be off by default for minors, requiring parental consent to use money. Influencers will also be required to disclose advertising and are prohibited from exploiting the trust of children. In virtual queues, companies must show real-time pricing and the highest possible price a consumer might pay. To ensure enforcement, the Commission is granted direct investigation and sanctioning powers for large-scale cases, including the ability to impose fines of up to 6% of a trader's worldwide annual turnover. Non-EU companies will be required to appoint a legal representative within the European Union. While the Commission will handle major cases, the vast majority of consumer breaches will continue https://videos.polyfact.com/I-297626-vod/manifest.m3u8 2345 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/602fe12a-e98f-447d-8efa-5f3efbce71bb-live 2026-11-11 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/602fe12a-e98f-447d-8efa-5f3efbce71bb-live/20261111123029/1280.jpg Northern Ireland Affairs Committee Subject: The Northern Ireland Troubles Bill: Follow-up Witness(es): Sir Declan Morgan, Chief Commissioner, Independent Commission for Reconciliation and Information Recovery (ICRIR); Ronnie Armour, Interim Chief Executive Officer, Independent Commission for Reconciliation and Information Recovery (ICRIR); Amanda Logan, Assistant Commissioner for Investigations, Independent Commission for Reconciliation and Information Recovery (ICRIR) https://videos.polyfact.com/602fe12a-e98f-447d-8efa-5f3efbce71bb-live/manifest.m3u8 8104 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/84cfee62-e08f-43ab-a177-65ee405b9f0d-vod 2026-11-11 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/84cfee62-e08f-43ab-a177-65ee405b9f0d-vod/20261111151608/1280.jpg Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee and Environmental Audit Committee Environment Agency chair candidate Lisa Tennant outlines priorities to Parliament committees Lisa Tennant, the government's preferred candidate for Environment Agency chair, identifies three core priorities: keeping communities safe from flooding and drought, keeping water and air clean, and supporting sustainable growth. She emphasizes total independence for the agency from government and policy, advocating for a risk-based approach that prioritizes threats to life and serious environmental risks. Tennant intends to move the agency beyond a carrot-and-stick approach toward collaborative partnership, though she supports firm enforcement and penalties to build public trust. She proposes an uptick in unannounced inspections and the phasing out of self-monitoring. Regarding water companies, she identifies investment, monitoring, and enforcement as the key levers for tackling persistent poor performance. Drawing on her experience transforming the Scottish Environment Protection Agency after a catastrophic cyber-attack, Tennant highlights the role of technology and AI in driving speed and transparency. She supports the regulation of beef and dairy through permitting and advocates for nature-based solutions. She also notes that the agency must be competitive in pay to attract and retain talent. • « So, for me, I would call those safe, clean, and grow. So, safe is around keeping communities safe from flooding and from drought, clean is about keeping our water and air clean and free of major pollution incidents, and grow is that mission to support sustainable growth » (Intervenant 7, 08:43) • « And so when it comes to that, I see total independence for the agency from government and from policy » (Intervenant 7, 12:01) • « So my approach to that, it won't surprise you, is prioritization and it's risk-based. So for me at the EA, the big risks that we want to prioritize budget around are risk to life and serious risk to the environment » (Intervenant 7, 37:31) • « I think, for me, key with the water companies is https://videos.polyfact.com/84cfee62-e08f-43ab-a177-65ee405b9f0d-vod/manifest.m3u8 6198 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/4af7cf3a-0cde-421f-978b-76f89908524d-vod 2026-11-11 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/4af7cf3a-0cde-421f-978b-76f89908524d-vod/20261111151607/1280.jpg Environment and Climate Change Committee Environment Agency Chief Executive Philip Duffy on Waste Crime and Drought Management The Environment Agency (EA) has launched Operation Unite to improve its response to waste crime, resulting in 37 arrests and the identification of 4.4 million in criminal money. However, Chief Executive Philip Duffy noted that while 71 criminal prosecutions were brought between April and October, they resulted in only two immediate custodial sentences and relatively small fines totaling 118,000. The agency is shifting toward an anti-crime mindset, utilizing permit revocations and asset seizures to disrupt organized criminals who are often involved in other offenses like narcotics and weaponry. Addressing compliance, the EA defended its performance despite 29% of permitted sites remaining uninspected in 2022. Officials explained that compliance assessments rely on data reviews as well as physical inspections, and that a visit once every three years is considered acceptable for compliant sites. The agency is seeking better intelligence capabilities, including AI and IT systems to merge data from Land Registry and Companies House, to target large-scale tax evasion and misdeclared waste exports which cause the greatest degree of harm. Regarding water management, national reservoir storage is currently at 60.1%, which is 17% below the seasonal average. A ministerial direction has been issued to the EA to prioritize public water supply in severe drought areas. While leakage remains high at 2.6 billion liters a day, the agency is pushing water companies to address it, noting that some firms have previously judged further leakage reduction as not cost-effective. The EA is also managing the trade-off between water abstraction and preventing irreversible damage to the natural environment. • « So, over this period, April to October, the EA brought 71 criminal prosecutions in court. We got only two immediate custodial sentences, and only eight suspended sentences from that, and the fine total was 118,000.

Un viaggio nel tempo Senate of the Republic: Petrusa. A journey through time. Young people design the future of Niscemi Students from the Leonardo Da Vinci school explored the Petrusa archaeological site, a little-known place that risked being forgotten. The research delved into the Roman-Imperial era, identifying a rustic villa linked to Emperor Galba and a thermal complex with a tepidarium and calidarium. This rediscovery work was intertwined with the reality of Niscemi, which was struck last January by a terrible landslide that took away nearly four kilometers of the city. The educational path made the students active participants through experimental guidance-based teaching and the use of digital technologies such as iPads and artificial intelligence. The students used magnetometry techniques to analyze the subsoil without destroying the ground, applying this knowledge also to the geophysical study of the landslide. The project received awards and led to the creation of a web portal that synthesizes the investigations carried out. The young people presented a bill inspired by draft law number 1675, imagining archaeological sites as incubators for innovation and youth proposals. The initiative supports the right to remain in the territory to enhance its beauty and historical memory, without excluding the possibility of knowing the world and then bringing the acquired skills back to one's own community. • « We know everything that happened, a landslide that devastated that city which, well, took in January of this year, took almost four kilometers of this of our city » (Vincenza Rando, 01:04) • « these young people who wanted, you know, exploring a part, let's say, of this of this archaeological site, Petrusa, which is perhaps very little known, but they wanted to explore it to know it, and also to make it known » (Vincenza Rando, 01:39) • « They did this research to deliver, to redeliver through the school with this path that they will tell us about later, you know, in which they are not just passive subjects, but active ones of https://videos.polyfact.com/it-senato-126883-vod/manifest.m3u8 6909 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/6f2581d5-93e0-4d13-a92e-0f53f3e37b6e-vod 2026-11-11 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/6f2581d5-93e0-4d13-a92e-0f53f3e37b6e-vod/20261111151608/1280.jpg Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee follow-up on British film and high-end television The UK film and high-end TV sector is experiencing a period of contraction despite a recovery in box office admissions to pre-COVID levels of 100 million. While the Creative Industries Sector Plan aims to increase investment to £31 billion by 2035, witnesses expressed concern regarding the impact of proposed US incentives on inward investment and the trend of British stories being filmed abroad. The current balance of investment stands at 85% inward investment versus 15% for domestic UK production. Tax reliefs remain a critical incentive rather than a subsidy, with the independent film tax relief and the Global Screen Fund highlighted as successful measures. There are calls for R&D tax relief to support the high-risk financing stages of production. However, the government does not currently believe a streamer levy is necessary given the existing matrix of funding. To support independent producers, the British Business Bank is exploring innovative funding methods, including using intellectual property as capital backup. Artificial Intelligence presents both opportunities and risks, with reports suggesting 80% of roles in the sector are at risk while 70% of the workforce lacks training. The BFI has allocated £1.2 million for AI innovation and R&D, while the government has established work streams to address AI copyright, focusing on transparency, creator control, and digital replicas. Performers currently lack adequate protection from unauthorized voice cloning and deepfakes under existing laws. The freelance community is described as the engine room of the industry, yet it faces significant challenges due to a lack of quality data on the workforce and a power imbalance between individuals and major stars. The BBC remains the linchpin of the ecosystem for skills and investment, though its trust is being degraded by cultural issues and legal cases. The government is reviewing the National Lottery to ensure future funding https://videos.polyfact.com/6f2581d5-93e0-4d13-a92e-0f53f3e37b6e-vod/manifest.m3u8 7131 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/6f2581d5-93e0-4d13-a92e-0f53f3e37b6e-live 2026-11-11 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/6f2581d5-93e0-4d13-a92e-0f53f3e37b6e-live/20261111124551/1280.jpg Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee Subject: British film and high-end television follow-up Witness(es): Pete Johnson, Chief Executive, British Screen Forum; Claire Mundell, Managing Director, Synchronicity Films; Harriet Finney, Deputy Chief Executive, British Film Institute Witness(es): Rt Hon Ian Murray MP, Minister for Creative Industries, Media and Online Safety, Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport; Georgia Hutchinson, Director, Creative Industries and Artificial Intelligence, Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport https://videos.polyfact.com/6f2581d5-93e0-4d13-a92e-0f53f3e37b6e-live/manifest.m3u8 10276 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/I-297571-vod 2026-11-11 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/I-297571-vod/20261111110130/1280.jpg European Commission President Ursula von der LEYEN in Antalya, Türkiye for the COP31 UN Secretary General António Guterres at Antalya Leaders’ Summit on Climate Crisis António Guterres states that the climate crisis is outrunning us and calls for a new Climate Justice Compact based on shared responsibility. He notes that while solar power met nearly three quarters of global electricity demand growth last year, emerging and developing economies outside China receive less than one fifth of global clean energy investment. He argues that leaders cannot expand fossil fuel production while claiming commitment to the 1.5 degree limit. To address this, global renewable capacity must triple from 2025 levels by 2035, while unabated coal power must fall by 75%. Guterres calls for no new coal, oil, or gas infrastructure. Developed countries must lead by delivering at least 300 billion US dollars a year by 2035 and tripling adaptation finance. Multilateral development banks are urged to go beyond their 120 billion dollar annual commitment by 2030. Addressing the financial burden, Guterres highlights that the nine largest oil companies pocketed 95 billion dollars in profits in the last quarter alone. He proposes that governments tax these windfall profits to help vulnerable countries recover, stating that polluters must pay. He emphasizes choosing cooperation over fragmentation, warning that trade barriers and technology monopolies will make the transition cost more and take longer. • « Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, our first climate duty is to tell the truth.

Clinical leads indicate that recruitment freezes are affecting 60% of nursing staff and 40% of consultants. Demand has increased significantly, with attendances and ambulance incidents both up nearly 6%, while the number of open beds has decreased compared to last year. The UK currently has 2.4 beds per thousand capita, compared to an OECD average of 4.6. System leaders agree that the core issue is a 'system problem' related to patient flow and 'exit block.' Between 20% and 30% of the bed base is occupied by patients who no longer meet the criteria to reside. This lack of flow leads to 'corridor care,' which is described as undignified and inhumane. Mortality impacts are shown to begin at five hours of waiting and worsen progressively; the Royal College of Emergency Medicine estimates 16,000 excess deaths are caused by waits longer than 12 hours. Minister Karin Smyth stated the government is determined to eradicate corridor care by the end of this Parliament and is working to streamline capital processes between the department, NHS England, and the Treasury. New measures include specifically measuring corridor care for children and appointing a new patient experience director to improve data collection. Accountability is being pushed to trust boards through completion of board assurance statements. Regarding prevention, 13.6 million vaccines were delivered by November 1st, an increase of 300,000 over the previous year. While previous flu vaccination efforts avoided approximately 100,000 hospitalizations, the system is now aiming for a 60% uptake in specific cohorts. Officials are also focusing on alternatives to admission, such as ambulance services treating patients over the phone or in their homes rather than just conveying them to hospitals. • « something like 67% https://videos.polyfact.com/049bec8d-91e1-4433-aa9c-afc11a82275c-vod/manifest.m3u8 7453 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/004e1984-d109-449e-8f8a-b12b01f08144-live 2026-11-11 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/004e1984-d109-449e-8f8a-b12b01f08144-live/20261111123101/1280.jpg Westminster Hall Westminster Hall debate: Hunting trophy imports Westminster Hall debate: Potential merits of appointing a Minister for Neurodiversity https://videos.polyfact.com/004e1984-d109-449e-8f8a-b12b01f08144-live/manifest.m3u8 10719 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/049bec8d-91e1-4433-aa9c-afc11a82275c-live 2026-11-11 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/049bec8d-91e1-4433-aa9c-afc11a82275c-live/20261111121609/1280.jpg Health and Social Care Committee Subject: Winter Pressures Witness(es): Dr Ian Higginson, President, Royal College of Emergency Medicine; Matthew Hopkins, Director of Acute and Ambulance Services Network, NHS Alliance Witness(es): Karin Smyth MP, Minister of State, Department of Health and Social Care; Dr Emma Rowland, Executive Director, Performance and Delivery, NHS England; Dr. Catherine Frances, Director for Global, Public Health and Emergencies, Department of Health and Social Care https://videos.polyfact.com/049bec8d-91e1-4433-aa9c-afc11a82275c-live/manifest.m3u8 9660 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/5d7c44db-61f0-4ca4-bf08-93a9f300e968-live 2026-11-11 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/5d7c44db-61f0-4ca4-bf08-93a9f300e968-live/20261111123049/1280.jpg Work and Pensions Committee Subject: Pensions adequacy – auto-enrolment contributions for low earners and their employers Witness(es): Jonathan Cribb, Deputy Director, Institute for Fiscal Studies; Chris Curry, Director, Pensions Policy Institute; Carl Emmerson, Partner, London Economics Witness(es): Zoe Alexander, Chief Policy Adviser, Pensions UK; Dr Daniella Jenkins, Director, Women’s Budget Group; Jack Jones, Pensions Officer, TUC; Will Sandbrook, CEO, Centre for Inclusive Money at NEST https://videos.polyfact.com/5d7c44db-61f0-4ca4-bf08-93a9f300e968-live/manifest.m3u8 10973 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/fba4a4cf-9c83-44a5-95d8-276da01f0972-live 2026-11-11 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/fba4a4cf-9c83-44a5-95d8-276da01f0972-live/20261111124553/1280.jpg Scottish Affairs Committee Subject: Scotland’s whisky industry: Tariffs, trade and growth Witness(es): Will Haworth, Associate Director- Global Markets and International Trade, Flint Global; Professor Sangeeta Khorana, Professor of International Trade Policy, Aston University; Dr Thomas Sampson, Associate Professor of Economics, The London School of Economics Witness(es): Jonathan Brenton, Director of Public Affairs, Chivas Brothers (Pernod Ricard); Annabel Thomas, Founder and CEO, Nc'nean Distillery; Anthony Wills, Managing Director, Kilchoman Distillery https://videos.polyfact.com/fba4a4cf-9c83-44a5-95d8-276da01f0972-live/manifest.m3u8 11704 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/it-senato-126895-live 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/it-senato-126895-vod 2026-11-11 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/it-senato-126895-vod/20261111174545/1280.jpg Seduta di Assemblea n. 475 Senate: conversion of Decree-Law no. 162, reform of chartered accountants and breastfeeding spaces The Senate examined bill no. 2085 for the conversion of Decree-Law no. 162. The measure addresses the elimination of the car tax for engines up to 80 kW, a measure that affects 70% of families. To compensate the Regions, the State will allocate 2.3 billion euros. Interventions on mobile excise duties for fuel and the allocation of 280 million euros for university scholarships are also planned. Regarding professions, the enabling bill for the reform of the regulation of chartered accountants and accounting experts was discussed. The reform aims to modernize the profession, reducing access times by allowing internships to be carried out during university studies and lowering the seniority required to lead the professional order. The text also addresses the issue of fair compensation and the reservation of specific activities for registered members. The Assembly also approved the establishment of a 300,000 euro fund for 2027 intended for the creation of spaces for breastfeeding and newborn care in cultural venues. The measure aims to make museums and cultural institutions more accessible to parents, ensuring conditions of hygiene and privacy. During the debate, the issue of the legitimacy of breastfeeding in public and the need for essential equipment such as changing tables and bottle warmers was raised. Finally, numerous bomb threats were reported in Italian schools, leading to evacuations in several cities. On the economic front, the opposition criticized the use of PNRR funds and the increase in VAT on childcare products, while the majority claimed the solidity of the government's approach in protecting energy security and cutting the tax wedge. • « The President also announces that on November 5, 2026, bill no. 2085 for the conversion into law with amendments of Decree-Law no. 162 of September 17, 2026, was transmitted by the Chamber of Deputies » (Speaker 4, 00:27) • « The measure we are going to vote on today https://videos.polyfact.com/it-senato-126895-vod/manifest.m3u8 14043 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/004e1984-d109-449e-8f8a-b12b01f08144-vod 2026-11-11 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/004e1984-d109-449e-8f8a-b12b01f08144-vod/20261111151615/1280.jpg Westminster Hall Westminster Hall debates on hunting trophy imports and a Minister for Neurodiversity Members of Parliament debated the urgent need for a ban on hunting trophy imports, citing that wildlife numbers in Africa have fallen by 80% since 1970. Despite a manifesto commitment and over 90% public approval for a ban, speakers highlighted constant delays and the issuance of 41 import permits since July 2024. The debate also addressed human rights abuses, including reports of Maasai communities facing forced evictions and violence linked to hunting areas. In response, the government reaffirmed its commitment to introducing a bill at the earliest opportunity within this Parliament. However, ministers noted that the timetable depends on wider parliamentary scheduling and that primary legislation is required to gain the legal powers to stop imports. Critics argued that the work has already been done twice and that further delays are unacceptable. A second debate focused on the potential merits of appointing a Minister for Neurodiversity to represent the 20% of the population that is neurodivergent. Proponents argued that an unacceptable lack of understanding in government has led to a crisis in support, including two-year minimum waits for ADHD and autism assessments. They called for a dedicated minister with statutory powers to join up solutions across departments and hold local authorities to account. The government responded that ministerial portfolios are the exclusive responsibility of the Prime Minister, but emphasized that neurodiversity issues must be woven into all policy. Officials highlighted existing investments, including £4 billion for inclusive provision in education and a forthcoming mental health strategy aimed at better integration of neurodevelopmental pathways. A commitment was made to share the debate's findings across relevant departments. • « the purpose of this debate is not to convince the government that importing of hunting trophies is wrong, but to stress the need for action and to end the constant https://videos.polyfact.com/004e1984-d109-449e-8f8a-b12b01f08144-vod/manifest.m3u8 7459 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/5d7c44db-61f0-4ca4-bf08-93a9f300e968-vod 2026-11-11 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/5d7c44db-61f0-4ca4-bf08-93a9f300e968-vod/20261111151620/1280.jpg Work and Pensions Committee Work and Pensions Committee Inquiry into Auto-Enrolment Contributions for Low Earners The Work and Pensions Committee held an inquiry into pension adequacy, focusing on auto-enrolment for low earners. Witnesses noted that while the triple lock provides a predictable base layer, the state pension remains below the Pensions UK minimum retirement living standards. This gap necessitates higher levels of private saving, with several experts advocating for a move from 8% to 12% contribution rates on qualifying earnings. For low earners, particularly women and those in multiple part-time jobs, the trade-off between current resources and retirement income is acute. While reducing the lower earnings limit to zero could boost savings by 5% of earnings for some, others argue it is perverse to take more money from those earning as little as £10,000 during a cost-of-living crisis. Proposals to mitigate this include sidecar savings accounts for emergency access and non-contingent employer contributions. Witnesses emphasized the need for a clear legislative timetable, suggesting that changes to reach a 12% rate should be phased in between 2030 and 2035. Employers generally support increased contributions if given at least two years' notice. Additionally, there is a strong call to bring the self-employed into the system via tax and payroll mechanisms to address the significant savings gap in that sector. Broader factors such as housing costs and Universal Credit awards were identified as critical to retirement adequacy. Experts suggested that a holistic review every 10 to 15 years, or the creation of a National Council for Retirement Adequacy, would help the system reflect changing employment patterns and longevity assumptions. • « I think we have a political moment now to increase contributions. That is the fundamental message. I've said it I'll say it one more time at least » (Intervenant 30, 01:15:33) • « I think that a move towards 12% is sensible, although I would be much more supportive of a 12% on qualifying earnings, so https://videos.polyfact.com/5d7c44db-61f0-4ca4-bf08-93a9f300e968-vod/manifest.m3u8 7707 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/fba4a4cf-9c83-44a5-95d8-276da01f0972-vod 2026-11-11 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/fba4a4cf-9c83-44a5-95d8-276da01f0972-vod/20261111151618/1280.jpg Scottish Affairs Committee Scottish Affairs Committee: Tariffs, trade and growth in the Scotch whisky industry **Global trade landscape and market access** « If you're a UK-exporting business, the current climate is not particularly forgiving.

Experts argued for a reduction in the alcohol limit from 0.8 to 0.5, with a lower 0.02 limit for new drivers, citing that a person is three times more likely to kill someone at 0.5 than at 0.2. There are also calls to review legislation to include newer substances like nitrous oxide and to address the 'epidemic' of drug-influenced driving. Concerns were raised regarding the effectiveness of current enforcement, as policing of the roads dropped significantly under the previous government. This has led to a public perception that the likelihood of being caught is low. Prosecution rates are struggling, with reports that at least half of prosecutions are being lost, and significant delays exist in processing blood samples. Some witnesses advocated for a shift to roadside saliva sampling to provide faster, more cost-effective results and to act as a more immediate deterrent. The committee discussed the government's road safety strategy targets, which aim for a 65% reduction in deaths and serious injuries. Some witnesses suggested these targets should be more ambitious, pointing to the 'Vision Zero' approach adopted by other countries. There is a consensus that increasing penalties alone is ineffective without also increasing the likelihood of being caught. Furthermore, uninsured driving is estimated to cost the economy £1 billion annually, with current fines described as antiquated and failing to serve as a deterrent. Proposed reforms include the introduction of graduated driving licenses for young people, mandatory drug and alcohol treatment referrals, and the use of technology such as alcohol locks in vehicles. Witnesses also emphasized the need for better data sharing between agencies and a fully funded delivery strategy with clear accountability. https://videos.polyfact.com/2f82be16-154e-405b-99de-243edb23486b-vod/manifest.m3u8 9164 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/I-297598-vod 2026-11-11 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/I-297598-vod/20261111100055/1280.jpg European Commissioner Dan JØRGENSEN in Antalya, Türkiye for the COP31 European Commissioner Dan JØRGENSEN in Antalya, Türkiye for the COP31 **Photo picture instructions** « Good morning.

The conference brings together delegates from more than 190 countries, including 100,000 participants such as heads of state, ministers, and scientists. For the first time in history, two countries are leading a COP together: Türkiye holds the presidency and is hosting the event, while Australia presides over the negotiations. This partnership places the voice of the Pacific at its heart, following a Pre-COP held in Fiji and Tuvalu. The main ambition of COP31 is to serve as the implementation COP, moving beyond making commitments to delivering results as the Paris Agreement enters its second decade. The presidency has built the conference on the principles of dialogue, consensus, and action to find common ground in multilateralism. Türkiye aims to act as a bridge between developed and developing countries, focusing on what the world will deliver after ten years of the Paris Agreement. The presidency has established an action agenda featuring 10 priority themes and six global goals for 2035. Specific targets include raising the share of electricity in energy to 35%, reducing the energy intensity of buildings by 25%, and ensuring recycled materials make up 15% of industrial use. Additionally, there is a commitment to integrate climate education into school curricula by 2030. • « Of course, what remains aside that, COP31 is not just about scale, it is also the first in its history.

The Legislative Council (Western Australia) was debating, on Wednesday 11 November 2026, a motion moved by Brian Walker of the LCWA calling for the review, public consultation and a report to Parliament. Jarvis said "I am supportive of all of the motion" and suggested starting with "a ministerial round table with some of those growers". She said a state bill might need rewriting if national harmonisation followed. ### Rail freight bill passes third reading 29 to 2 The Council passed the third reading of the Rail Freight System (Acquisition and Reorganisation) Bill 2026, with the result announced as ayes 29, noes two. One Nation's Rod Caddies opposed it; the Liberals supported it. Caddies said the promise not to sell to an overseas buyer was not in the bill. Jarvis, representing the minister, said the clause allowing overseas dealings was needed to acquire the business. ### Walker's fee-waiver amendments to mining bill defeated Amendments by Brian Walker to make mining objections fee-free were defeated three to 25. Greens member Sophie McNeill called the A$430 fee outrageous. Matthew Swinbourn, Minister for the Environment, said the fee funds an additional mining warden. ### Minister says native title groups not consulted In committee on the Mining Amendment Bill 2025, Swinbourn said some provisions were not consulted on, mainly forfeiture arrangements, after Sophie McNeill asked who was consulted. ### Question Time yields figures on children and prisons Pierre Yang, representing the Child Protection Minister, said 16 children were recorded as missing or unaccounted for.

Liberal MP Liam Staltari, the lead opposition speaker, said the bill has 209 clauses across 11 parts. Staltari said the opposition "will move a number of amendments during consideration in detail". He said the first would restore the current religious schools exemption, and he said the bill removes the definitions of man and woman and "fails to define sex at all". He said the amendments would be crucial to the opposition's final position. ### Zempilas seeks privileges inquiry into Riverton member After Question Time, Zempilas raised a matter of privilege and moved that the Procedure and Privileges Committee inquire into whether the member for Riverton failed to meet disclosure obligations. The Speaker said he would defer the matter for consideration. ### Opposition pledges payroll tax threshold rise Zempilas moved a motion condemning the government over business costs and said a Liberal-National government would lift the payroll tax-free threshold from A$1 million to A$1.5 million. Deputy Premier Rita Saffioti said everyone wants to pay less tax but the government balances revenue and expenditure. The debate was interrupted without a vote. ### Huston challenges reversal of burden of proof Independent MP Jonathan Huston said clause 125 shifts the burden of proof to respondents. • Attorney General Tony Buti introduced the Defamation and Limitation Amendment Bill and began the second reading. • Nationals leader Shane Love said he expects a referral to the Legislative Council committee. • The Equal Opportunity Bill debate was adjourned. https://videos.polyfact.com/au-wa-92aa5ca0f6fe4591adfc24d37c92ff77-vod/manifest.m3u8 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/au-act-15c46ce283a045bf97ea20ecfc578185-1b9d95ce3bc64912bf16b50230b2af7c-vod 2026-11-11 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/au-act-15c46ce283a045bf97ea20ecfc578185-1b9d95ce3bc64912bf16b50230b2af7c-vod/20261111073056/1280.jpg Standing Committee on Transport and City Services: Standing Committee on Transport and City Cheyne says she may have misspoken on Big Splash pool pledge ### Cheyne may have misspoken on Big Splash Minister for City and Government Services Tara Cheyne said she may have misspoken when she said the Big Splash pool must open. She was questioned on Wednesday 11 November 2026 at the Standing Committee on Transport and City Services (ACT) inquiry into the 2025-2026 annual and financial reports. Committee chair Peter Cain, a Liberal MLA, put to her an ABC report quoting her saying "It's not an aspiration, it's a condition the pool must open". He cited freedom of information records showing Access Canberra advised the lessee in April that the lease did not require exclusive use as a water park or aquatics centre. Cheyne confirmed the quote was hers but said: "I'm prepared to say that I misspoke. I'm prepared to say that, but I need to check the record of that full interview." She agreed to report back to the committee and to apologise if she had misspoken. ### Cheyne rules out Bowes Street for Access Canberra Cheyne said the government is not considering 2 to 6 Bowes Street for the Access Canberra shopfront and prefers co-location with Woden Library. Independent MLA Fiona Carrick pressed her on the decision. Cheyne said: "That's not under consideration where we've seen the greatest opportunity and particularly given how the library is already understood and used as a public facility is for the co-location to occur on that site." She said talks with the site owner were commercial in confidence. ### Molonglo bridge to open January 2027 The Molonglo River bridge will open in January 2027, Cheyne confirmed under questioning from Liberal MLA Ed Cocks. He asked why the design and construct contract runs to 12 March 2028. Anthony Haraldson, Executive Group Manager, Transport and Civil at Infrastructure Canberra, said "there's a 12-month post-completion period, so it's a defect liability period as part of the contract".

The talk previewed his forthcoming paper on optional preferential voting (OPV), under which voters need number only one square, and on how-to-vote cards. Green said that given the split in non-Labor support, OPV experience "will push them into some sort of preference arrangement". He said that if both parties issue just-vote-one cards, "that'll be a massive exhausted rate" on the conservative side. An exhausted vote is one that runs out of preferences and is set aside. Green said he hoped to finish the paper earlier but was delayed by moving house. The chair later said it was expected in the first two weeks of December. ### Party cards shape how many preferences voters give Green said that what Labor, the Liberals and the Nationals print on how-to-vote cards changes how many preferences voters fill in. Of ballot papers in 2023, he said 57% were singles. He said: "If you just recommend one, that's what the voters do." He said Greens voters differ because they give preferences anyway, and that "Green voters are much more inclined to give preferences anyway". Green said that where Labor recommended just vote 1, 65% of its voters did so. ### Labor preferences to Greens depend on recommendation Green said that in the 26 seats where Labor did not recommend preferences for the Greens, two-thirds of Labor votes exhausted and only 21% flowed to the Greens. When Labor recommended a second or third preference, he said the rate was over 40%. He said the lesson for major parties is that if they want preferences to flow in a direction, they must hand out cards that say so. ### Green says https://videos.polyfact.com/nsw-remote-event-1-299060040-vod/manifest.m3u8 8046 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/--TRFrJztpE 2026-11-11 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/--TRFrJztpE/hqdefault.jpg Emmanuel Lechypre face à Hedwige Chevrillon : Les banques doivent-elles financer les partis ? Good Morning Business: Financing of political parties and election campaigns Ahead of the presidential election, the National Rally (RN) has obtained a pre-agreement for a loan of over 10 million euros from two European banks. Hedwige Chevrillon highlights the past democratic anomaly, where the party had to turn to Bulgarian, Hungarian, or Russian banks. She notes that banks primarily fear smear campaigns if they finance certain movements. Political financing represents a particular credit risk for Emmanuel Lechypre, because repayment depends on the score obtained in the election. The 5% threshold is critical, as illustrated by the difficulties faced by Valérie Pécresse after her personal loan of 5 million euros. A campaign costs approximately 18 million euros for the first round and 22 million in total. Faced with these issues, Emmanuel Lechypre advocates for capping campaign spending to limit financial excesses. He argues that public funding, with a system of advances, would allow all candidates to operate under the same conditions. Currently, disparities remain between parties like Renaissance, which have significant funds, and isolated candidates who depend on private donations. • "So, ahead of the presidential election, the RN has obtained a pre-agreement for a loan of over 10 million euros from two European banks. Jordan Bardella confirmed this last night on BFMTV" (Speaker 1, 00:06) • "Political parties, it must be acknowledged, represent a credit risk that is still extremely particular, since repayment depends on the score in the election" (Emmanuel Lechypre, 01:00) • "There is still a democratic problem, we cannot deny it, well it is still abnormal that it was European banks, before that Bulgarian, Hungarian, Russian banks, that financed the National Rally" (Hedwige Chevrillon, 02:23) • "And it's not that expensive, I mean democracy, it's priceless, so we can say that public funding, once again, with systems probably of advances that would allow everyone to operate under the same conditions, would https://www.youtube.com/embed/--TRFrJztpE 629 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/-UOU8JbVEz8 2026-11-11 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/-UOU8JbVEz8/hqdefault.jpg Éric Zemmour candidat : "Un homme condamné pour incitation à la haine raciale peut se présenter ?"

La France insoumise's reaction to a potential Teddy Riner candidacy When asked about a potential candidacy by Teddy Riner, La France insoumise stated that it does not concern them much. The movement recalled that the judoka once said he loved Nicolas Sarkozy and is now presenting a candidacy that is neither right-wing nor left-wing. According to the speaker, the question should instead be directed to Gabriel Attal and Édouard Philippe. Regarding whether Teddy Riner might overshadow Jean-Luc Mélenchon, LFI highlighted an unprecedented show of force at Le Bourget with 20,000 people present for the presentation of a government program. The campaign momentum is based on the 'L'Avenir en commun' (A Future in Common) program and the support of nine communist and overseas parliamentarians, including Stéphane Peu. • "Teddy Riner, who at the time said he loved Nicolas Sarkozy and who is presenting a candidacy that is neither right-wing nor left-wing, I think it is not us, La France insoumise, who should be asked what we think of it, but rather Gabriel Attal and Édouard Philippe. And as for the question of 'does he overshadow Jean-Luc Mélenchon?', I will just point out that we have just come out of a weekend of an absolutely unprecedented show of force with 20,000 people who were at Le Bourget, the presentation of a government program with a team that you have all seen in a form that was unprecedented, beautiful, poetic, musical" (Unknown speaker, 00:38) • "Teddy Riner, who at the time said he loved Nicolas Sarkozy and who is presenting a candidacy that is neither right-wing nor left-wing, I think it is not us, La France insoumise, who should be asked what we think of it, but rather Gabriel Attal and Édouard Philippe regarding Teddy Riner's candidacy. So first of all, I find it a bit amusing that when you talk about 22% who judge this candidacy favorably, I imagine that pollsters and I don't know who else called tons of people last night to find out what they thought of Teddy Riner's candidacy.

Well, it establishes, for the first time, an annual tribute ceremony to soldiers who died for France for students from CM1 (fourth grade) to the final year of high school around November 11th." — Unknown speaker "This commemoration must take place within the school premises and be based on texts, songs, and work prepared in class before a moment of reflection, as explained in the guide published online by the Ministry of National Education.

First, a militarization of the school. For them, school should not become a place for promoting military values or the sacrifice of war.

Debate over the future of the Nvidia boss following a spying scandal The Nvidia boss is at the heart of a scandal after being entrapped by a spy in an extramarital affair. This case raises major national security issues, as China may have gained access to technologies protected by an embargo. Nvidia, which holds 80% of the global market for artificial intelligence chips, is considered a "too big to fail" company upon which the American economy relies. Financially, the company has already lost $400 billion in market capitalization in just a few days, after having been the first to exceed a $5 trillion valuation. The situation is all the more critical as the founder is the intellectual architect of the company and has not prepared any successor or second-in-command to take his place. The executive must now face a Congressional investigation, as the Democrats prepare to take the majority in January. Although some describe him as an honorable man who has done a tremendous job for the country, his position is weakened by accusations of naivety, despite his role as a donor to the White House. • "AI is a national security issue because China probably has access to technologies it did not have access to due to the embargo" (Unknown speaker, 04:25) • "And this is an illustration of an expression we have used a lot in English, which is called too big to fail, meaning that today, insofar as Nvidia and Huang hold 80% of the artificial intelligence chip market globally and in the US, they are too big, he is too big to fall right now" (Unknown speaker, 10:07) • "for the company Nvidia, it still lost 400 billion in stock market capitalization in a few days" (Unknown speaker, 03:49) • "he founded Nvidia, he is its intellectual architect, he has absolutely not prepared a potential successor, there is no number 2 at Nvidia" (Unknown speaker, 05:03) • "First, he is facing an investigation in Congress and the Democrats will take the majority in Congress in January" (Unknown speaker, 06:14) https://www.youtube.com/embed/0Z3TPhLc5nc 648 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/10MbtIk0usg 2026-11-11 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/10MbtIk0usg/hqdefault.jpg Guillaume Bernard : «L'alternance risque de passer aux extrêmes.

Faced with these risks, individual precautions are recommended, such as using strong passwords and systematically performing security updates to prevent equipment from being hijacked. Some users are already choosing to limit their devices' connectivity to protect their personal data. To strengthen the response to cyberattacks, a bill is currently being debated in the National Assembly. This text could be put to a vote on November 17th. • "According to the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity, attacks like those that targeted hundreds of supermarket refrigerators in France and Europe could affect private households.

He emphasizes that the aid provided by Europeans makes it impossible for any diktat to be imposed on the Ukrainians without their consent.

Regarding the conditions for peace, the minister recalls that the Ukrainians agree to discuss starting from the front line, but excludes any recognition of territorial annexation. However, he observes that no current posture from Russia indicates a genuine willingness to conclude peace. He links the continuation of aid to the defense of French interests in the face of the threat.

Gabriel Attal and David Lisnard have shown themselves open to this proposal, although the latter's entourage wishes for a faster schedule. A meeting between the campaign managers of these three candidates is scheduled for Tuesday, November 17, to continue discussions. On the other hand, Édouard Philippe refuses to participate in the organization of this ballot. While his team says it is ready to participate in meetings, it excludes getting involved in setting up a primary. Furthermore, Bruno Le Maire is set to present a program of 50 proposals to change France, although his entourage asserts that this is not a declaration of candidacy. Political history shows that being the leader in the polls in the autumn is never synonymous with victory in the spring. Examples such as those of Édouard Balladur in 1994, Alain Juppé in 2016, or Éric Zemmour in 2022 remind us that strong initial voting intentions do not guarantee final success at the ballot box. • "Yes, because the LR candidate is accelerating the organization of a primary for the right and the center.

In this context of planetary burnout, humans are behaving like parasites of the living world. Thinking that increasing performance can cure us is a pathological delusion or a form of schizophrenia, because this rationality becomes irrational in a finite world. Techno-solutionism, embodied by figures like Elon Musk or Bolloré, is criticized as a maladaptation. By reducing ecology to a mere question of energy, performance continues to destroy living systems. The example of connected refrigerators or Starlink satellites illustrates this systemic fragility where every technical solution generates new toxic problems. To get off this treadmill, we must move from resilience to robustness. While resilience consists of getting back up after a trauma, robustness aims to place oneself in conditions where one does not fall. This implies adopting a culture of variability and drawing inspiration from living organisms, such as plants that manage energy fluctuations. Concrete solutions like mosaic forests or regenerative hydrology allow for the construction of a model that is less vulnerable to crises. • "Staying on the treadmill, finally, is what I always say, it's being in a state of planetary burnout and thinking that increasing performance will cure us of burnout, that is a pathological delusion" (Speaker 6, 06:06) • "Resilience is falling and getting back up, and robustness is placing yourself in conditions where you don't fall. So, resilience is also designed for a crisis, a trauma, a systemic rupture, you know" (Speaker 6, 16:13) • "Well yes, in fact, polycrisis is a bit like a permacrisis, meaning that we see crises as rather punctual events, and here, in fact, it is a new regime, it is structural" (Speaker 6, 01:12) • "If we reduce the ecological question to a question of energy, in fact we are missing the point, https://www.youtube.com/embed/6uWPslNKL_I 1495 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/6wxPLX72YME 2026-11-11 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/6wxPLX72YME/hqdefault.jpg L'interview de Sehla Bougriou du mercredi 11 novembre 2026 : Général Dominique Trinquand｜LCI LCI: General Dominique Trinquand analyzes European defense and Ukraine **Patriotism and tribute to the fallen** "This is the first year that it has become mandatory in schools, from primary school (CE1) to the final year of high school (terminale), to pay tribute to those who died for France" — Speaker 1 "We are not talking about nationalism but patriotism; it is not the same thing.

Oil dependence affects 90% of journeys, while the country imports 99% of its consumption. The goal of carbon neutrality by 2050 requires a complete phase-out of fossil fuels for all vehicles, from individual cars to heavy goods vehicles. Speakers criticize a policy focused on speed and the distance of public services, which creates 10 million people in mobility poverty. While electrification is necessary, replacing 40 million internal combustion vehicles with 40 million electric vehicles is considered technically impossible. It is recommended to prioritize lighter vehicles, car-sharing, and the development of cycling as a genuine transport tool, similar to the Netherlands. Strengthening the railway system is presented as a priority, involving the revival of freight to take trucks off the road, the return of night trains, and a new status for railway workers. To build an effective alternative system, experts suggest repurposing part of the road network for public transport and soft mobility, while promoting proximity to reduce forced travel. • "The climate emergency, everyone has talked about it, except that no one says that this transport sector is the only sector that is not reducing its greenhouse gases, but it is the leading sector, 31%, all by itself since 1990" (Speaker 4, 10:41) • "Our opponents are oil dependence. 90% of journeys today, in particular, of transport, are oil-based" (Speaker 4, 15:57) • "France has set itself the goal of carbon neutrality by 2050 and that implies that not a single drop of oil will be consumed within 24 years, whether in cars, heavy goods vehicles, light commercial vehicles, buses, coaches, trains, motorized two-wheelers, or even river transport boats" (Speaker 5, 28:47) • "Because there are in France, we don't hear them, you know, there are nearly 10 million people https://www.youtube.com/embed/7AZ96urHisM 3028 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/7oaNkg1E_8U 2026-11-11 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/7oaNkg1E_8U/hqdefault.jpg Taxes sur les entreprises : «11 milliards d'impôts supplémentaires», alerte B. Cohen-Adad Bernard Cohen-Hadad's warning regarding the 11 billion in additional taxes for businesses The economic climate for businesses is marked by deep concern regarding the upcoming budget, which includes 11.5 billion in additional taxes. Bernard Cohen-Hadad points out that 7,766 business failures have already been recorded as of September, a figure higher than that of the year 2025. This situation is pushing some business leaders to freeze their investments due to a lack of security regarding the Dutreil pact and business transfers. The consequences of the riots are also weighing on the sector, with 500 businesses looted or destroyed in Paris and 3,000 across France. While Laurent Nuñez acknowledges failures regarding the events of October 17, businesses are still waiting for the implementation decrees for the announced aid. Furthermore, the mention of a 0.8% "riot tax" on auto and home insurance contracts has been raised to cover the damages. Faced with these challenges, business representatives are calling on the government to implement a policy to combat social and tax fraud while eliminating production taxes. In parallel, the tourism sector is already experiencing booking cancellations in major cities such as Paris, Marseille, and Lyon, as economic stakeholders brace for massive taxation next year. • "For the next budget, 11.5 billion in additional taxes on businesses, and you know how" (Bernard Cohen-Hadad, 04:04) • "As of today, well, as of the end of September, we have 7,766 business failures, which is much more than in the year 2025" (Bernard Cohen-Hadad, 02:09) • "a certain number of business leaders who wish to freeze their investments because we do not have security regarding the Dutreil pact, the transfer" (Bernard Cohen-Hadad, 04:43) • "what we are waiting for is a government that applies a policy, that also applies a fight against social and tax fraud, that also develops, that eliminates production taxes" (Bernard Cohen-Hadad, 07:30) • "500 businesses completely damaged, looted, destroyed in Paris, 3,000 https://www.youtube.com/embed/7oaNkg1E_8U 491 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/8IdwYjetd8E 2026-11-11 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/8IdwYjetd8E/hqdefault.jpg Gaspard Gantzer : “Il faudrait un examen psy pour tous les candidats à l’élection présidentielle” Gaspard Gantzer on RTL: Culture budget and presidential psychological exam Gaspard Gantzer proposes doubling the Ministry of Culture's budget, similar to what was done in 1981 with Jack Lang. This measure would aim to increase resources for artists, heritage, libraries, books, and dance. He also suggests transforming the July 14th parade into a carnival on the Champs-Élysées, including choreography for the military and firefighters. On an institutional level, he advocates for the permanent presence of a psychologist at the Élysée Palace and requiring presidential candidates to undergo a psychological exam. According to him, one must be a little crazy to want to be president, especially since elected officials are often hated by the population shortly after their election. When asked about the candidates' motivations, he believes they initially want to change the country and Europe. He shares an anecdote from 2012 where Sarkozy, during a call to Hollande after his election, advised him to enjoy the week before entering the Élysée, describing it as the only enjoyable moment. • "We must double the Ministry of Culture's budget. That's what was done in '81 with Jack Lang. More money for artists, more money for heritage, more money for libraries, books, and dance. I think it costs a bit of money, but not that much because it's a very small part of the state budget. And even if we don't have much money left in the coffers, I think this one would work well" (Unknown speaker, 00:00) • "And the third one, well, I think that at the Élysée, we should permanently install a psychologist next to the president's office.

So I think that would be worth working on" (Unknown speaker, 00:41) • "That's the first one. The second one, this year, I went to the July 14th parade for the first time.

She believes that if the word union is not the right one, it is possible to work in a coalition on specific projects or subjects of agreement, as is already happening through de facto majorities in the Senate or the National Assembly. Alongside Bruno Retailleau, she reiterates that the upcoming election represents the "last-chance election." Regarding Bruno Retailleau's positioning, Céline Imart justifies his participation in the current government as a sense of duty, aimed at preventing figures like Jean-Luc Mélenchon or Lucie Castets from coming to power. He is pursuing a line focused on economic and sovereign recovery, leaving the French people to decide between the different projects and figures during the upcoming elections. At the European level, a resolution against Islamist entryism and the influence of the Muslim Brotherhood has been brought to Parliament. The European Commission now has three months to respond in writing and present a concrete action plan. Furthermore, political news is marked by Bruno Retailleau's proposal to organize a primary for the right and center at the end of January, while the National Rally has obtained a preliminary loan agreement from European banks due to a lack of French financing. • "We often say it with Bruno Retailleau, it's the last-chance election.

Emmanuel Fernandes denounces a system where the private sector captures profits while environmental costs are socialized. Extended producer responsibility is described as a form of tax privatization, where industrial eco-organizations fail to meet their objectives, leading France to pay a 1.5 billion euro annual fine to the European Union. The reuse rate remains disastrous, with only 1.6% of household waste in 2024. Recycling is presented as a decoy used by the new goods industry to avoid discussing overproduction, especially since materials degrade and this process requires approximately 90% public funding. Conversely, resource centers and recycling centers allow for a waste avoidance policy while massively creating jobs: 10,000 tons processed in a resource center generate 850 jobs, compared to only one for landfilling. The creation of a public service for reuse would allow waste to be removed from market logic and structure a national vision for a zero-waste France. It is about regaining control with a planning and strategic State power to support actors in the social and solidarity economy. This project aims to link grassroots citizen initiatives to a political organization capable of defending the general interest against industrial profit motives. • "The starting point is to regain control with a planning State power, a strategic State, a proactive State, and a State that stops letting private actors make a profit on waste management" (Mr. Emmanuel Fernandes, 23:20) • "The public service for reuse is actually obvious because it would make visible on a national scale that we can lead a policy of waste avoidance" (Speaker 7, 44:35) • "It created what is called the principle of extended producer responsibility, which is in fact, ultimately, a form of tax privatization" (Speaker 3, 33:56) • "When we bury 10,000 https://www.youtube.com/embed/A0wgu_nXLLE 3942 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/APiZVr8FfcM 2026-11-11 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/APiZVr8FfcM/hqdefault.jpg Jean-Pierre Lacroix (ONU) : « La communauté internationale est encore plus polarisée » • RFI Jean-Pierre Lacroix, secrétaire général adjoint des Nations unies en charge des opérations de maintien de la paix, est l'invité de RFI ce 11 novembre 2026.

This situation directly impacts peacekeeping operations, as evidenced by the announced end of UNIFIL and the ongoing liquidation of MINURSO in Western Sahara. He reiterates that Blue Helmets cannot impose a political settlement on their own, but are there to support existing diplomatic processes. Despite these tensions, UN missions remain essential for protecting hundreds of thousands of people in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Central African Republic, or South Sudan. The withdrawal of these forces would, according to him, lead to a major deterioration of the security and humanitarian situation in these regions. In this regard, MONUSCO has seen its mandate renewed and expanded to support the Doha and Washington agreements. Financially, the Under-Secretary-General warns of a lack of liquidity that has led to a 25% reduction in resources. The annual budget of $5.1 billion represents only 0.2% of global military spending. Jean-Pierre Lacroix calls on member states to be consistent in providing missions with the means adapted to new threats, such as drones, disinformation, and sophisticated explosive devices. • "We have an international society, an international community, as they say, member states even more polarized, a Security Council even more polarized" (Speaker 2, 06:49) • "There is a big hole in the cash box and we had to, we had to cut our resources by about 25%, 25%.

Introduction of mandatory November 11th ceremonies in French schools Since the start of the school year, a directive has mandated the organization of a commemorative ceremony for November 11th in all schools, from CM1 (fourth grade) to the final year of high school. This measure aims to pay tribute to all those who died for France through speeches or choreographed performances. This initiative has sparked controversy. Some teachers' unions denounce a militarization of schools, citing indoctrination and a mechanism that promotes war. Conversely, teachers and students emphasize the importance of remembering the events and the massacre that was the First World War for future generations. The Minister of National Education defends this initiative in the name of civil harmony. According to him, this approach allows students to take ownership of their history and understand the price of peace. • "These ceremonies in schools have been mandatory since the start of the school year for all students from CM1 to the final year of high school" (Unknown speaker, 02:08) • "An image of the day of the November 11th commemorations; as every year, the national ceremony was held at the Arc de Triomphe with the Head of State, the 108th anniversary this year of the end of the First World War.

This sentence follows a report on the sporting youth of Kabylie and WhatsApp exchanges with former leaders of a sports club. Judicially, there is no longer any recourse after his conviction on appeal, making a presidential pardon the most plausible scenario. This case is part of an authoritarian tightening in Algeria since the Hirak uprising in 2019. The penal code allows for the notion of terrorism to be extended to political dissent. This global repressive framework also affects other authors, such as novelist Kamel Daoud, who was sentenced in absentia to five years in prison for a case involving the disclosure of medical secrets related to his novel Houris. Relations between Paris and Algiers are marked by tensions, particularly after the French declaration on the Moroccan nature of Western Sahara, which led to the recall of the Algerian ambassador. While a certain thaw is being discussed with the return of the French ambassador to Algiers and calmer relations under the impetus of Interior Minister Mr. Nuñez, the climate remains complex. • "The French journalist was sentenced to seven years in prison for 'apology for terrorism' following a report on the sporting youth of Kabylie" (Unknown speaker, 00:00) • "It is the most plausible scenario a priori, since from a strictly judicial point of view, there are no more avenues, he was convicted, then convicted again on appeal" (Unknown speaker, 07:19) • "The basis is an article of the penal code that is particularly repressive and that extends the notion of terrorism to the notion of political dissent" (Unknown speaker, 01:19) • "But it is above all a case that speaks volumes about the authoritarian tightening we have in Algeria in the aftermath of the Hirak, that is to say, the 2019 uprising" (Unknown speaker, 02:17) • "Furthermore, we learned yesterday that the https://www.youtube.com/embed/AX3v2AjXqfY 643 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/AdX0ZSlA2H8 2026-11-11 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/AdX0ZSlA2H8/hqdefault.jpg Présidentielle 2027 : “Teddy Riner est un candidat crédible” (Michel-Édouard Leclerc) Michel-Édouard Leclerc on wages, diesel prices, and the 2027 presidential election Michel-Édouard Leclerc advocates for wage increases so that work pays more and allows young people to purchase an apartment or a car. His solution is based on the elimination of social security contributions deducted from wages, noting that a minimum wage (SMIC) of 1,500 euros actually costs the company between 2,000 and 2,500 euros. On the issue of prices, he states that the retail chain was able to lower the price of diesel by 21 cents by mixing strategic stocks with standard supplies, exceeding the government's forecasts. Regarding store operations, he clarifies that the chain is not an advocate for widespread Sunday opening, limiting this practice to Sunday mornings to support certain commercial areas. Finally, he mentions the figure of Teddy Riner as a credible personality for 2027. He describes the Guadeloupean athlete as a moral man and a unifier capable of opposing values of effort and teamwork in the current context. • "My solution is to provide tax relief, to remove from the salary the social security contributions that we make people pay on top of the salary.

She specifies that her deputies in the National Assembly are allied with the National Rally group within a plural coalition. She criticizes Eric Zemmour for his personal logic and seeks to create ties between Marine Le Pen and Giorgia Meloni. Regarding education, she denounces the attitude of certain teachers' unions, particularly in Seine-Saint-Denis, which refuse to commemorate November 11. She describes these organizations as branches of La France Insoumise and calls for sanctions against teachers who do not respect ministerial circulars. Concerning security, Marion Maréchal advocates for a change in the doctrine of maintaining order to move past the Malik Oussekine trauma. She proposes reinstating an anti-rioter law where mere presence at a violent demonstration could lead to a conviction, in order to better protect police officers and limit material damage. Finally, she reaffirms her commitment to the territorial sovereignty of Ukraine while supporting the idea of an audit on financial aid.

Mandatory November 11th ceremonies in schools: memorial transmission and controversies Starting from the 2026 school year, schools from CM1 (fourth grade) to the final year of high school must organize a tribute ceremony for soldiers who died for France around November 11th. This arrangement may include the national anthem, a wreath-laying, the reading of the roll call of the dead, as well as the presence of elected officials or military personnel. The government justifies this measure by the desire to celebrate the sacrifice of some and to explain important values to students by gathering around history. This initiative has sparked strong opposition from some teachers' unions. The SNES-FSU denounces an attempt to indoctrinate young people and a mechanism promoting war. Critics point to a possible militarization of schools, asserting that they should not become a place for promoting military values or the sacrifice of war. Furthermore, the presence of military personnel is put into perspective with a November 2025 poll indicating that 88% of French people want the return of military service. The risk of political instrumentalization is also raised, particularly as the presidential election approaches and in a tense international context. Some see it as a day of speeches where political figures, such as Jean-Luc Mélenchon visiting the Creuse region to reaffirm his pacifist commitment, use the commemoration to mark their positions. Despite these debates, the approach is also perceived as an educational mission of the school to transmit republican values and the duty of remembrance. • "from CM1 to the final year of high school, for the first time a tribute ceremony for soldiers who died for France around November 11th" (Unknown speaker, 00:00) • "The SNES-FSU, which is the leading union for middle and high schools, thus denounces an 'attempt to indoctrinate young people and a mechanism promoting war'" (Unknown speaker, 02:25) • "They say that it could lead to a militarization of the school and that, indeed, the https://www.youtube.com/embed/Bq_FAbOHTLY 388 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/C_IYdojdR9s 2026-11-11 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/C_IYdojdR9s/hqdefault.jpg "David Lisnard est l'un de ceux qui sont le plus proches des idées des gueux" - Alexandre Jardin Alexandre Jardin and the 'Gueux' (Commoners) movement: towards direct democracy **Culture of contempt and failure of the elites** "You have just listened to the trailer for the fight of the Invisibles, this documentary directed by Alexandre Jardin, whom we are hosting today, who is a child of the house if I may put it that way, spokesperson for the commoners" — Mr. Legasse Perico "It is the end of the culture of contempt for professions, contempt for municipalities, contempt for people who work humbly and voluntarily in municipal councils, contempt for entrepreneurs" — Speaker 12 "But that is why the culture of contempt no longer works because those at the top, for the moment, are failing at absolutely everything" — Speaker 12 "The culture of contempt is an extraordinary thing.

BFMTV Forum: Facing violence and blockades in high schools The high school student movement, which has been ongoing for seven weeks, is facing radicalization and violence described by some participants as unprecedented. While the number of blockades seems lower since classes resumed, incidents inside schools are multiplying, including the use of fireworks mortars fired horizontally, which is being equated to attempted homicide. School administrators and teachers are expressing extreme fatigue in the face of this desire to destroy the school institution. A lively debate pits participants against each other regarding the scale of the mobilization. While the Minister of National Education mentions a few dozen blocked high schools, other sources report hundreds of institutions closed or at a standstill. For the mobilized students, the blockade remains the last means of action after the failure of petitions and demonstrations to obtain the 10 billion euros needed for the recovery of high schools. The issue of security is central: Marc Gonnet calls for schools and their surroundings to be declared sanctuaries to stop the spiral of violence. Some parents express their fear and their desire to resolve the situations, while others support the students in the face of what they describe as police violence. Securing the premises is presented as the sine qua non condition for the resumption of classes. Finally, many participants agree that the police cannot solve this collective nervous breakdown on their own. The resolution of the crisis must be political and come from the government. Criticisms focus on the state's lack of resources, the elimination of positions in the National Education system, and the inability to offer concrete career prospects to young graduates. • "We have a kind of collective nervous breakdown in France that will not be solved by the police.

He believes that this process contributes to emasculating France and the French people. • "Beyond that, the profound meaning of this, at the level of the psyche of the anti-France and anti-French ideology, and even against the French flag, as we have seen, is to forbid the French from defending their country.

He believes it is no longer acceptable for parents to have to act as police to allow their children to attend class. The association is calling for firm intervention from government officials to restore a serene climate. Sylvain Duyck calls for focusing on the establishments where gratuitous violence is being exercised in order to guarantee access to classes. He stresses the need for a return to reason so that students can return to their classrooms in complete safety. • "Banning these blockades, in any case we are in a democracy, one does not have the right to forbid other students from coming to study. And parents of students are telling us: they want their children to return to class to obviously prepare for the French baccalaureate for those who are obviously in the first year or the general baccalaureate, because we are reaching, I would say, demands that have been going on for an extremely long time and what's more, it doesn't" (Unknown speaker, 01:00) • "Exactly, we are no longer in high school student demands currently, we are in vandalism, we are in the destabilization of society and obviously of the school establishment.

The level of homicides and attempted homicides in 2025 has reached its highest point in half a century, contrasting with the low point of 2012. This violence is exemplified by the "Nahel generation," consisting of 50,000 rioters according to the Senate, who caused one billion euros in damages in ten days. The analysis points to the beginning of a collapse of the State, which is no longer able to maintain its bond with the nation. Rather than an abandonment, we are observing a withdrawal of the State, which no longer knows how to act, thereby creating the conditions for rage and distrust. A large portion of the population is now convinced that the political class has lied to them and is incompetent, believing that it is time to get rid of them. The judicial and prison system is also under pressure. Prosecutors say they are overwhelmed by contradictory injunctions, while prison conditions no longer allow for the reconciliation of rehabilitation and the fight against recidivism. Faced with this situation, some are calling for a major political awakening, particularly on neglected subjects such as child sexual abuse. • "The historical low for homicide in France was 2012. In 2025, we have the highest level since modern statistical tools have existed, that is to say, for half a century" (Speaker 2, 15:48) • "Well, I said the other day, we are in the beginning of a collapse of the State, because the State in France, it created the nation" (Unknown speaker, 19:23) • "So the State has not abandoned, no. It is withdrawing. It is withdrawing because it does not know what to do. It is withdrawing" (Speaker 1, 23:26) • "But they are all convinced that the political class has lied to them, the one that has managed the country in any case, has lied to them, is incapable, is incompetent, and that the time has come to get rid of them" (Speaker 1, https://www.youtube.com/embed/FAVpyi7lp5U 2486 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/FEdbgeXyb24 2026-11-11 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/FEdbgeXyb24/hqdefault.jpg «Nous avons l'armée la plus entrainée et la plus équipée en Europe», affirme Catherine Vautrin Catherine Vautrin, ministre des Armées et des Anciens combattants, répond aux questions de Laurence Ferrari. https://www.youtube.com/embed/FEdbgeXyb24 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/FHytrW38IGM 2026-11-11 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/FHytrW38IGM/hqdefault.jpg Luján, Holy Mass, November 11, 2026 – Pope Leo XIV Luján, Holy Mass, November 11, 2026 – Pope Leo XIV **Mother of Luján and memory of Pope Francis** "Sisters and brothers, we are gathered here to celebrate the Eucharist with joy, praising God for the great works of His love, united with the Virgin Mary, our Mother of Luján" — Speaker 4 "Today, in the house of our Mother of Luján, my memory turns in a special way to our dear Pope Francis, who always carried the 'patroncita morena' in his heart" — Speaker 4 "A humble image of her clean and pure conception remained miraculously by the Luján River, as a sign of maternal protection over your people who are on pilgrimage in Argentina" — Speaker 4 "Dear Holy Father, here in the house of our Mother of Luján, in the house of all Argentines, your apostolic journey comes to an end.

According to Georges Fenech, this procedure aims to resolve healthy rivalries within the same political family. He believes that Édouard Philippe, now neck-and-neck with David Lisnard in the polls, will have to choose between participating in this primary or withdrawing. Raphaël de Stainville recalls that Édouard Philippe already experienced the failure of a primary in 2017 alongside Alain Juppé. Furthermore, he questions the position of Bruno Retailleau, believing that the latter is giving in to a form of political correctness when he could be closer to an Éric Zemmour than to a Gabriel Attal. In parallel, the potential candidacy of Teddy Riner is sparking reactions. An Ifop-Fiducial poll indicates that 22% of French people would be ready to vote for him. Georges Fenech and Raphaël de Stainville consider that the immense champion could capture a portion of the young electorate, particularly in the suburbs, which is currently sensitive to the discourse of Jean-Luc Mélenchon. • "He wrote a letter to Édouard Philippe, to Gabriel Attal, to David Lisnard to propose to them the organization of a primary of the right and the center with two dates precisely, January 31 and February 7" (Christine KELLY, 00:10) • "In my opinion, Édouard Philippe today, who finds himself even in the polls neck-and-neck I believe with David Lisnard, or even a little behind, he will have no other alternative: either he disappears, that is to say he withdraws, or he enters the primary" (Mr. FENECH Georges, 01:40) • "I believe that here, Teddy Riner could play this role, even if it is not what he is looking for, vis-à-vis Jean-Luc Mélenchon.

Antoine Debate on France's decline and foreign interference France is going through a period of economic, industrial, military, and sociocultural decline, finding itself isolated on several fronts. Despite this weakening, the country remains a European power holding numerous technological and defense patents, which makes it a target for the rest of the world. Foreign powers do not invent France's internal flaws but exploit them to turn them into political tools. Concrete examples of interference are cited, notably the action of Azerbaijan in New Caledonia, where radical pro-independence activists were allegedly trained in Baku. On the digital front, a unit of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps managed to hack connected refrigerators, potentially endangering tens of thousands of French people. Furthermore, while Russian channels have been shut down, other media outlets like Al Jazeera continue to promote Islamist ideas. Some speakers, however, denounce a misuse of the concept of interference by the government. The argument of foreign interference, whether from Russia or China, is sometimes used to mask an internal political record deemed catastrophic, as was the case during the Yellow Vests movement. A confusion persists, even in the highest spheres of the State, between influence policies and genuine acts of interference. • "Foreign interference does not create flaws in France, it exploits them. They use our weaknesses to then turn them into a weapon, a political tool" (Unknown speaker, 05:18) • "What happened last week with a unit of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps managing to hack connected refrigerators and potentially endangering, putting at risk, tens of thousands of French people, that is defined interference" (Speaker 2, 08:38) • "It is Azerbaijan that came to insert itself, that came directly on-site in New Caledonia, that brought in activists from the FLNKS, from the CCAT, so these very radical, very violent pro-independence supporters, they sent them to Baku, they trained them in https://www.youtube.com/embed/G80j-JTRWpw 547 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/G8MprnwABso 2026-11-11 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/G8MprnwABso/hqdefault.jpg "Le 11 novembre est un passage obligé pour travailler sa stature présidentielle" (Dorian Dreuil) November 11th commemorations: political stakes and presidential stature as elections approach November 11th takes place in a highly political context, marked by the search for presidential stature among various actors. Dorian Dreuil emphasizes that French presidentialism sacralizes the figure of the head of state as the guarantor of institutions and history. For Emmanuel Macron, this particular commemoration comes at a time when he seems to be at an impasse since the dissolution, while Marine Le Pen is attempting to build her stature as a future commander-in-chief. Speeches use history to resonate with current events. Marine Le Pen insists on a sense of national belonging against voluntary amnesia, while Jean-Luc Mélenchon links the memory of invasions suffered by France to the demand for Russia to evacuate Ukraine. These positions are part of an electoral campaign where international themes, such as the conflicts in Ukraine or Gaza, occupy a central place for the electorate. A controversy is also emerging regarding the participation of students in the commemorations. While Sébastien Lecornu sees it as a moment of concord and national unity, some teachers' unions denounce a militarization and politicization of schools. This fragmentation illustrates an ultra-polarization of public debate, where political figures struggle to find a common denominator, even around the First World War. • "The evening news briefing, with a very political November 11th on the agenda, which is certainly very particular for Emmanuel Macron" (Speaker 5, 00:00) • "Both of them also used this day, or at least these statements, to make history resonate with current political events" (Mr. DREUIL Dorian, 02:22) • "French presidentialism also sacralizes the figure of the head of state as the guarantor of the institutions of the Republic as they are today, but also as the guarantor of its history" (Mr. DREUIL Dorian, 06:23) • "I think what she is sending is an attempt to build her stature as the future commander-in-chief if she were to become https://www.youtube.com/embed/G8MprnwABso 1616 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/GGyYwiGBqo8 2026-11-11 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/GGyYwiGBqo8/hqdefault.jpg Attentat de Trappes : "Ce qui a failli, c'est la parole des politiques qui sont au pouvoir" Debate on the discourse of politicians and victims following the Trappes attack **The discourse of politicians in power** "But what failed in Trappes is the discourse of the politicians who are in power.

Europe 1: Marc Touati proposes shock therapy for the French economy Marc Touati advocates for a benevolent shock therapy to turn around the French economy, based on three main measures. The first consists of massively lowering taxes for households and businesses, notably by reducing the CSG and eliminating the production tax, which is paid by companies even before they make a profit. To compensate for these cuts without increasing the deficit, he proposes significantly reducing public spending, targeting the operating costs of the civil service, which have increased by 107 billion euros since 2021. He also suggests eliminating some of the 700 various central administration bodies (ODAC) that cost 150 billion euros per year. Finally, the strategy includes a reduction of at least 10% in payroll charges in order to lower labor costs without reducing wages. According to Marc Touati, this set of measures would make it possible to revive growth, increase tax revenues, and reduce public debt through a virtuous cycle. • "Absolutely, my dear Dimitri. Yes, it is still possible to save the French economy, but not with minor measures as all governments have done for decades. No, France needs what I call a benevolent shock therapy. I will of course not have time this morning to present all the measures I propose, but just the three main ones that will radically change the face of the French economy. First measure, and it is particularly in line with current events, we must restore purchasing power to the French without harming businesses" (Unknown speaker, 00:16) • "Well, actually no, that is where my second measure comes in, namely significantly lowering public spending, starting of course with operating expenses, that is to say, the salaries and operating costs of our very dear civil service.

This commemoration celebrates the victory of an entire nation, including those on the home front and particularly the women who, although absent from the trenches, were at the heart of the battle. Unity, clarity, and willpower are identified as the only paths for the salvation of the people in the face of turmoil. The importance of passing this on to younger generations is emphasized to ensure social cohesion and a sense of national belonging. Forgetting is rejected as a foundation for peace, as the formation of enlightened citizens requires knowledge of their own history. Faced with warmongering, the sacrifice of the combatants reminds us of the irreplaceable value of peace. The current moral imperative is summarized as not forgetting the past in order to prepare for the future. The homeland is described as standing guard around the graves of those who fell, asserting that nothing can be built on ignorance of family and national history. • "For France, November 11th is not a date that belongs to history, but to the soul of all our people" (Unknown speaker, 00:00) • "At a time when some deny the need to pass these commemorations on to younger generations, I would like to tell them that one cannot build peace, nor the sense of national belonging so necessary for social cohesion, on oblivion" (Unknown speaker, 05:53) • "The prodigious spirit of resistance they demonstrated serves as a timely reminder that in moments of great turmoil, in the worst hours the homeland goes through, there is no other path for the salvation of the people than clarity, willpower, and unity" (Unknown speaker, 02:13) • "As you can see, the moral requirement placed upon us can be summed up in three words: do not forget" (Speaker 1, 07:23) • "They were not in the trenches, but they were at the heart of https://www.youtube.com/embed/Gebzo6e0gmE 502 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/HQ-qNYqn9Ko 2026-11-11 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/HQ-qNYqn9Ko/hqdefault.jpg La chronique éco : Comment sauver l'économie française ?

Focused on its domestic problems, it forgets that a conflict between NATO and Russia would cause these immediate concerns to vanish. History shows that what was once thought unthinkable becomes possible, as proven by the First and Second World Wars. The historian's pessimism is based on the fact that history regularly refutes optimism. We are living in a tragic time that we had forgotten after 1945 and the construction of Europe. This amnesia was reinforced during the enchanted years of the 1990s, marked by the fall of the USSR and the belief, now refuted, that political democracy would prevail everywhere. • "There is something, if you will, that is my main enemy, and that is unconsciousness. I loathe unconsciousness. I think of that whole sentence by Péguy that I adore, which I quote: 'One must see what one sees and one must say what one has seen.' And I believe that our society, French society and other European societies—much less so Polish, even German, Baltic, and Scandinavian societies—but French society is a society that lives in unconsciousness of the danger. And that is obviously, and it is a persistent unconsciousness that, in my opinion, is strengthening rather than the opposite."

This one was baptized in violence. Violence was the movement's calling card, as from the very first days, we had burning trash cans and mobilizations. We must remember that even before October 17, there were more than 2,000 arrests among high school students due to violence. So the movement has been violent from the beginning, and this violence is somewhat the identity of this movement" — Unknown speaker **Radicalism and the 'leapfrog' technique** "This meant it could not spread massively because, inevitably, it was extremely radical. But that did not prevent it from creating real disruptions, because what is happening, and what is still happening, is that as soon as there is violence, high schools are forced to close administratively, and so the most radical students can go and disrupt a neighboring high school. This 'leapfrog' technique was used very, very much at the beginning, and we see today that it is still what is happening" — Unknown speaker "That is to say that, effectively, there are few high schools that are actually blocked by activists because they are very few in number but very radical, but on the other hand, there are many more establishments that are disrupted because, precisely, the mere threat of an intrusion is enough to disrupt everything. And then there is a second element that we are starting to see today in universities as well as in schools: when they are no longer able to block the high school, they are still able to disrupt it" — Unknown speaker **Disruptions and mortar fire inside the high school** "And so there are more and more actions, for example, mortar fire inside the high school; this means that the high school is not blocked, but they go inside and disrupt classes, threaten teachers, and post the heads of principals. https://www.youtube.com/embed/JZY1oNhbtmM 107 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/JeRK11XVM78 2026-11-11 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/JeRK11XVM78/hqdefault.jpg «Il appellera à la résistance», prédit J-C.

Scenes of fireworks being fired inside a school in Chelles are reported, illustrating an ultra-violence where some high schools are becoming lawless zones. Although the blockers are very few in number—sometimes 20 individuals for a high school of 400 people—the material damage already amounts to millions of euros. The question of immediate unblocking of schools is raised in the face of what is described as an escalation of impunity. Figures indicate that only 7.3% of the people apprehended during the October events were actually incarcerated. On the ground, police intervention is complex: it requires the authorization of the school principal or a letters rogatory, while some speakers deplore instructions of inaction given to law enforcement. The debate highlights a gap between the initial demands regarding working conditions and the current violence, perceived by some young people as a game to be filmed. While some call for regaining control and firm sanctions, others insist on the need to restore dialogue to listen to these high school students. The government's strategy is also criticized and described as 'letting things rot' by some observers. • "It is insane with a few dozen individuals who, as you have seen and as it has been shown a lot yesterday, attack staff, attack students in classrooms to actually simply destroy the institution" (Mr. Édouard Geffray, 00:10) • "After the events of last October 17 and 24, based on the information available, only 7.3% of the people apprehended were actually incarcerated" (Speaker 6, 02:34) • "You know that the high school crisis is going to cost several million euros in damage to high schools, which is completely stupid because at the beginning the demand in particular was to bring better working conditions" (Speaker 9, 14:50) • "They are very few in number to block, eh, that's what's crazy.

He reports 245 injured staff members and denounces individuals, whether students or outside elements, who seek to destroy the institution by setting fire to buildings, notably in Aix or at the Mandela high school in Nantes. According to him, fewer than 50 high schools, or about 1%, are currently blocked by organized groups sometimes using mortar fire. Faced with this situation, the minister calls on the political class, unions, and parents to condemn these acts without ambiguity. He criticizes rhetoric that legitimizes violence and reminds everyone that the primary right is the right to attend classes. He emphasizes that this radicalism is the cradle of hatred in a context of strong political polarization. To address the concerns of a youth anxious about the future and the impact of artificial intelligence, the government is focusing on dialogue and the creation of thousands of places in higher education. However, Édouard Geffray rules out any devaluation of the baccalaureate, refusing to give this generation a diploma that could be interpreted as a "discounted degree." • "I have been crying out a bit alone in the wilderness for a month to say that we have never had so many injured staff.

She indicates that she worked on a resolution with Marion Maréchal, Nicolas Bay, and Fabrice Leggeri for the RN, as well as with Nathalie Loiseau of the Renew group. According to her, it is necessary to transcend divisions to find majorities on texts that are vital for Europe. She emphasizes the importance of sitting down at a table to protect citizens and the youth from networks that threaten European identity. Céline Imart recalls that Bruno Retailleau, whom she supports for the presidential elections, declassified a report at Beauvau showing the threat hanging over France and Europe. Invoking the memory of her great-grandfather, a fighter in the First World War, she calls for a European awakening. She asserts that we must stop being naive and work together so that France remains France and Europe remains at peace. • "I worked with the Renew group, the Macronists, the negotiator was Nathalie Loiseau.

They point to a "reactionary arc" facilitating the concreting of land at the expense of wetlands, 50% of which have disappeared in 50 years. Julien Le Guet points out that mega-basins only benefit 5% of farmers, while the State sometimes bypasses court decisions to validate illegal infrastructure. The debate highlights a repression described as "lunar," illustrated by the massive use of grenades at Sainte-Soline and the deployment of the anti-terrorist sub-directorate against environmental activists. Anne Stambach-Terrenoir mentions a damning report by the Defender of Rights on these events. This repression is accompanied by expedited justice requested via ministerial circular, aimed at turning non-violent citizens into judicial targets through "SLAPP lawsuits." Faced with the weakening of environmental law and the primacy granted to the freedom to conduct business by the Council of State, the speakers call for solidarity. Marie Chureau points out that 162 local struggles have already been won since 2014. The challenge now is to structure ecological planning by ecoregion, relying on solidarity networks to counter authoritarianism and the far right. • "And then, of course, everyone has in mind the apocalypse of the repression at Sainte-Soline.

This amount represents 6.5 billion euros more for the year 2027, following a text voted on by Parliament last spring. Obtaining a voted budget is essential to trigger equipment orders for next year. This concerns Rafale jets, 7 A400Ms, missile launchers, as well as 4 billion euros in ammunition. Without this vote, equipment orders are put at risk. Regarding personnel, France is meeting its objectives, unlike Germany, which is failing to recruit the number of soldiers it needs. If the budget is voted on, additional soldiers can be recruited next year in accordance with the project set in place by 2030. • "But absolutely!

According to him, the thematic teaching of history, to the detriment of chronology, contributes to a process of destruction aimed at making people forget the dates, sacrifices, and history of France. Despite this observation of an offense to the memory of those who fell for the homeland, the analyst says he is optimistic. He believes that French society, likened to a biological body, is hitting rock bottom and is now beginning to activate its own immune defenses. • "Yes of course, but you know, it's the result of 40 years of anti-France propaganda. We no longer teach history chronologically, and we see it very well in the response of these young people, but thematically. So there is nothing better to make people forget the dates, the sacrifices, and the history of France in a general way. So here, we are reaching the end of a destruction process that began a good forty years ago. But if that offends me today, I remain relatively optimistic for the future" (Unknown speaker, 00:34) • "And we are live with Régis Chamagne. Hello, you are a colonel in the Air Force, you are also an engineer and defense analyst. There are things that are clearly being lost, we see it in this report, and then we see it through teachers who are also losing the inculcation of values.

Vous devez en accueillir dix autres», dénonce O. Roque Debate on violence and criminal behavior in public schools The school system is facing criminal behavior where individuals use high school student protests as a cover to attack elected officials and staff. An elected official from the Île-de-France region had gasoline poured on her chest while attempting to extinguish a fire. Young people now trivialize mortar fire and blockades, while some parents are either negligent or complicit, going so far as to buy metal glue to seal school doors. Ophélie Roque points out that out of thirty students, only five are truly problematic, but their dangerousness weighs heavily on the school. She advocates for these children, whose issues are sometimes psychological, to receive proper psychiatric care outside the classroom. However, the system functions like communicating vessels: excluding a dangerous student requires accepting another whose profile is unknown. The response to this situation is considered insufficient, both in terms of criminal justice and education. In some schools, highly ideological teams refuse on principle to apply sanctions. The speakers fear a very serious accident and point to the lack of resources, infrastructure, and teachers to address these drifts. • "We are dealing with criminal behaviors that use high school student demands as a cover to actually attack the institution, attack elected officials, and attack National Education staff" (Mr. Édouard Geffray, 01:03) • "Today, it is an elected official of the Republic, an elected official of the Île-de-France region, who received a bottle of gasoline on her chest while she was trying to put out a trash fire" (Speaker 3, 00:11) • "These children should have real psychiatric follow-up and should not be in the classroom" (Ophélie Roque, 09:22) • "But worse than that, the parents bought metal glue so the girls could seal the door to prevent us from removing them.

Anne Stambach-Terrenoir highlights the existence of a "chemical colonialism," illustrated by the chlordecone scandal, which was authorized in French Guiana, Guadeloupe, and Martinique while being banned in mainland France. This injustice is also manifested through the use of Agent Orange in Vietnam, the effects of which are still affecting the fourth generation today. The agri-food industry is singled out as being responsible for one in two deaths, alongside tobacco and fossil fuels. Mélissa Mialon points out that this model began with sugar plantations in the colonies and continues with the exploitation of child slaves on cocoa plantations. Sarah-Maria Hammou notes that 100% of the people surveyed in her association mention unequal access to healthy food as a major form of discrimination. • "What we understand in this whole system is that there is a real hierarchy of lives, in fact, that is put in place by the neoliberal capitalist system in which we live" (Ms. Anne Stambach-Terrenoir, 13:56) • "I am obviously thinking of the chlordecone scandal, you know, this fungicide that continued to be authorized while it was banned on mainland territory, in French Guiana and in Martinique, sorry, in Guadeloupe and in Martinique" (Ms. Anne Stambach-Terrenoir, 10:42) • "We know that one in two deaths currently, in our countries, is because of four industries, namely agri-food, alcohol, tobacco, fossil energy" (Ms. MIALON Melissa, 50:46) • "We asked them the question: 'What are the forms of environmental discrimination that you receive, that you perceive the most on a daily basis?'

She points out that France Inter, funded by public money, devotes only 10% of its airtime to the right during its morning show, compared to 44% for the left, while relegating 60% of the National Rally's speaking time to the night. She contrasts this situation with that of CNews, a private channel whose programming is disruptive because it covers facts ignored by the public service, such as the recent assault on two young Catholics. The Member of the European Parliament criticizes the relentless pressure from Arcom and the left against CNews, evoking a desire to "put the channel to death." She recalls that CNews has been the subject of 27 formal warnings, a level of vigilance that would not be applied with the same rigor to public broadcasting despite the abuses revealed by an inquiry commission. To remedy these dysfunctions, Marion Maréchal advocates for the privatization of public broadcasting. This project would be accompanied by a set of specifications to ensure respect for cultural offerings and a balance of speaking time. Finally, she warns that the disappearance of CNews would be certain if Jean-Luc Mélenchon were to come to power. • "Because I believe we are witnessing an absolutely incredible turnaround, that is to say, a few months ago, you remember, the inquiry commission on public broadcasting made headlines, which revealed through hearings numerous scandals, numerous abuses, whether in terms of the use of public money, whether in terms of conflicts of interest that could have been revealed, whether in terms of the lack of respect for pluralism within public broadcasting. And in fact, the conclusion a few months later is that we find ourselves in the National Assembly debating the question of whether or not to close CNews" (Unknown speaker, 00:13) • "If I had to give just one example, a few days ago, two young French Catholics were attacked, physically assaulted https://www.youtube.com/embed/UoFWLQGeiSU 225 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/VaBwXF0pRQc 2026-11-11 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/VaBwXF0pRQc/hqdefault.jpg Axel Ronde : «L'IA pourrait nous aider, il faudrait la généraliser» Call from the CFTC police union for the widespread use of AI The president of the CFTC police union is advocating for the acquisition of new digital tools, particularly AI, to assist police departments. He is calling for these technologies to be generalized beyond just specialized counter-terrorism units and for resources to be invested in computer hardware to increase speed and efficiency. Integrating AI into video surveillance cameras would allow for the instantaneous tracking of wanted individuals using augmented reality. Currently, investigative services achieve successes but face very time-consuming methods. Investigators are overwhelmed by procedures and case files. Although the tools exist on the market, their absence within investigative services hinders the progress of police work. • "Obviously, and that is why we would really like to have new digital tools, for example AI, which could clearly help us, even if some services might have them. But in any case, we should generalize this and not reserve it for specialized counter-terrorism services, for example. Clearly, we must put resources into computer hardware to be able to effectively go much faster and be much more efficient" (Unknown speaker, 00:00) • "We have, no, we still have a lot of success, but it's just that it's very time-consuming. It takes an enormous amount of time. That's the problem, we are overwhelmed by procedures, we are overwhelmed by files and we aren't making progress because, ultimately, we don't have the tools even though they exist on the market. That's what frustrates us a little bit, that we could clearly have these new tools at the disposal of investigative services" (Unknown speaker, 00:39) • "But we would also like these cameras to be in augmented reality, AI in video surveillance cameras, it would be useful to us immediately because we could have, if you will, the path of the people we are looking for in real-time.

La réponse cash de Jean-Christophe Cambadélis Jean-Christophe Cambadélis on the Left, youth, and the woke drift Jean-Christophe Cambadélis clarifies that François Hollande is not a candidate because the Socialist Party has designated Raphaël Glucksmann along with Place publique. He believes that a rapprochement with the central bloc would cause the Left to lose all credibility. Furthermore, Édouard Geffray calls on the political class to unite unambiguously behind its schools. Regarding violence involving young people, Mr. Cambadélis refers to "savages" (sauvageons) who have lost all sense of direction. He highlights the difficulty of resisting the influence of social media, which is taking control of children. According to him, there is no magic key: the problem must be addressed by parents, the teaching staff, supervision, and the regulation of social media, while taking into account the overall situation of the youth. Finally, the former First Secretary of the PS analyzes what he calls the "defeat of progressivism" and the "woke drift" in his book Les Jours sombres (The Dark Days). He links this phenomenon to French Theory and the French theory of deconstruction. He deems the attitude of certain unions inappropriate, as they equate commemorative ceremonies for the dead of the First World War with preparation for war. • "He is not a candidate because the Socialist Party has designated a candidate with Place publique and that candidate's name is Raphaël Glucksmann" (Mr. CAMBADELIS Jean-Christophe, 00:42) • "So, in my latest book, Les Jours sombres, there is a chapter on the defeat of progressivism.

What we call 'omnibus' are legislative packages aimed at amending European directives or regulations. The European Commission's goal is to reduce administrative burdens on European companies to make them more competitive. Omnibus 10, also known as the Feed Safety Omnibus, aims to reform European food safety rules. And there is one component that is particularly criticized: the elimination of renewals every 10 or 15 years for pesticide authorizations." — Unknown speaker "Today, to authorize plant protection products and renew them, there are scientific authorizations, and it takes several years. It goes through two stages: after a scientific assessment of the risks to health and the environment, the EU approves active substances. Then, the company that wants to sell a product with the authorized substance must file an application in the country where it wants to market its product. With Omnibus 10, the Commission wants to eliminate the renewal of these authorizations for a large portion of active substances." — Unknown speaker "The flagship measure that has emerged is that of unlimited approval. You should know that today, when a pesticide is authorized, it is authorized for a period ranging from 10 to 15 years. Here, the idea is to have approvals that would not be reviewed on a regular basis.

This measure aims to use our country's history as a means to build the future and train citizens. Furthermore, the demands of the high school student movement are considered legitimate by the speaker, who believes that the government must receive the students with respect. A criticism is directed at Jean-Luc Mélenchon, whose relationship with democracy is described as degraded. He is accused of being an instrument that undermines the right to protest for the rest of the left. Faced with this, a call is made to join the democratic and ecological left embodied by Raphaël Glucksmann, presented as the only one capable of defeating Marine Le Pen. Regarding energy, the program plans to withdraw EDF, Framatome, and Orano from partnerships with Rosatom, described as Vladimir Putin's nuclear armed wing. The project also includes the provision of one million heat pumps at €1 per day for rural areas and a request to the Court of Audit to evaluate a new nuclear program. Finally, the speaker denounces the drift of the right towards the far right and the rhetoric designating scapegoats. He emphasizes that Mr. Zemmour, convicted of inciting racist hatred, should not be eligible.

This day in 1918 marked the end of the fury of the cannons and the horror of the trenches, offering an exhausted and grieving country a return to life and the hope of happy days after four terrible years.

This support addresses both physical wounds and the post-traumatic stress disorders of soldiers. A call is made for citizens to come together during these moments to stand as one and foster unity.

Faced with these situations, the deployment of numerous personnel is necessary.

Protecting minors from pornography: Sarah El Haïry on state action The findings regarding the exposure of minors to pornographic images are alarming. According to a 2022 Senate report, two-thirds of those under 15 and one-third of those under 12 have been exposed to them. In half of these cases, these young people did not seek out these images and were confronted with them against their will. This early exposure has serious consequences for the development of the youngest. Sarah El Haïry highlights an increase in minor perpetrators of sexual violence, specifying that one in two has reproduced what they saw on a pornographic site. The goal of the ban for those under 18 is to hold platforms accountable so they can be shut down more quickly when they fail to do their job. Public action primarily aims to protect 9 or 10-year-old children who stumble upon this content without looking for it. While the system is not considered perfect, especially regarding the use of VPNs by older teenagers, the State is prioritizing a step-by-step approach to limit accidental access to pornographic content. • "Today, on the issue of pornographic sites, it's very interesting. Yes, it's true, with any VPN, in reality, you can access a pornographic site. But the 9, 10, 11-year-old children who were exposed, as the Senate report had shown... I recall the figures from the 2022 Senate report, the findings are quite alarming: two-thirds of those under 15, one-third of those under 12 who are exposed to pornographic images" (Unknown speaker, 00:00) • "Against their will. And today, I find young people who... unfortunately, there are more minor perpetrators of sexual violence. And among these minor perpetrators, one in two has reproduced what they saw on a porn site. Even if it's not perfect, the ban for those under 18 allows me to do two things. One, to hold the platform accountable and shut it down faster, which was not the case before, because in this instance, it is they who are not doing their job" (Unknown speaker, 00:25) • "And one in https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ze25dGKUWSo 58 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/ZjnCSXkzwz8 2026-11-11 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ZjnCSXkzwz8/hqdefault.jpg Alertes à la bombe : au moins 6000 écoles visées en Italie｜TF1 INFO Emergency meeting in Italy after bomb threats at 6,000 schools At least 6,000 Italian public educational institutions, including primary schools, middle schools, and high schools, received an email this morning threatening a bomb attack.

Boris Tavernier highlights that this situation is accompanied by a major health crisis, with a 160% increase in diabetes over twenty years and a rise in diet-related cancers, while 5 billion euros are invested annually in junk food advertising. The farming world is going through a deep structural crisis, exacerbated by unprecedented heatwaves and drought. Thomas Gibert warns that 76% of farms are in economic difficulty and that 50,000 could disappear by the end of the year. He denounces an abandonment by public authorities that benefits the far-right and rejects the myth of peasant unity, asserting that the leaders of the FNSEA represent only a minority. Faced with free trade agreements and a definition of sovereignty focused on exports, Manon Meunier and the speakers advocate for a break. They propose the establishment of minimum remunerative prices for producers, price caps for consumers, and the creation of a mutualized fund to help farmers cope with climate change. Marie Cosquer points out that world hunger is not a production problem, as 70% of the world's food is already produced by small-scale farming. • "So, a few figures to realize the scale of the situation: 76% of farms today are in economic difficulty, 64% are considering quitting, and we imagine that at least 50,000 farms could close their doors by the end of the year" (Mr. GIBERT Thomas, 25:03) • "We need price caps for those who eat, we need minimum remunerative prices for those who produce, and in between, we need to stop these crisis profiteers and those who take the margins" (Ms. Manon Meunier, 51:52) • "In parallel, you also see food insecurity, how much it is exploding in our country, how much poverty has exploded, how much the lines for food banks have exploded, including among students" (Ms. Manon Meunier, 02:06) https://www.youtube.com/embed/_qyQSKxEQkw 3378 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/aIzfQLyG1bw 2026-11-11 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/aIzfQLyG1bw/hqdefault.jpg E. de Villiers s'emporte devant Manon Aubry : "Votre programme, c'est la faillite ensemble !"

Is it authoritarianism to guarantee the freedom to protest, which has been trampled upon in our country in recent weeks? Is it authoritarianism to ensure that we establish a 6th Republic?" — Manon AUBRY "It is a fundamental question.

He denounces a generalized poisoning of the population and an organized obscurantism that delays decision-making regarding substances like glyphosate, asbestos, or chlordecone. Antibiotic resistance illustrates this crisis: if nothing is done, it could cause 10 million deaths per year by 2050. The pharmaceutical sector, marked by ultra-financialization, is abandoning anti-infectives and organizing drug shortages, while neoliberal policies attempt to shift responsibility onto individual patients to dismantle Social Security. Benoît Biteau highlights the danger of pesticides, almost all of which are carcinogenic, mutagenic, or endocrine disruptors. He criticizes a flawed scientific evaluation that ignores decomposition metabolites and cocktail effects, favoring the economic interests of firms like Bayer or Syngenta. Exposure to toxins during the first 1,000 days of life is considered decisive, particularly for French children who are highly exposed to cadmium. To address these issues, the speakers advocate for a radical agroecological shift. Benoît Biteau proposes reorienting the 70 billion euros in curative spending and the 10 billion from the CAP to provide 200,000 euros per year to each farmer to support them in transitioning to agroecology. On the health front, public initiatives such as the production of phages by the Hospices Civils de Lyon are cited as examples. Younous Omarjee, however, warns about the current reintroduction of pesticides banned at the European Union level under the von der Leyen Commission. • "political diseases are the diseases of capitalism. And I really hope that our discussion will provide some elements to show how capitalism, a concrete system of organizing production, organizing work, and consumption, is also now a very concrete system of organizing all living things themselves" (Younous https://www.youtube.com/embed/aeKx42YCvr4 4507 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/ctDvJ7RcSKE 2026-11-11 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ctDvJ7RcSKE/hqdefault.jpg La mer : une nouvelle frontière de l’humanité | AMFIS 2026 The sea: a new frontier for humanity at AMFIS 2026 France occupies a major strategic position as the world's second-largest maritime territory, a reality 97% driven by its overseas territories. However, this space is at the heart of an expansionist capitalist logic that threatens planetary boundaries. The ocean is undergoing biological overexploitation, with a third of species threatened, while the maritime sector remains marked by extreme social disparities, illustrated by the carbon footprint of a super-yacht which is equivalent to several centuries of life for an average citizen. Maritime transport, a pillar of globalization, often escapes national frameworks thanks to flags of convenience, which account for 70% of the global fleet. This system promotes cut-rate rights for sailors, who can work up to 90 hours per week. Safety is also at stake: fatal accidents are six times more frequent among sailors and eighteen times more among fishermen than in the rest of the working population, with a worrying increase in suicides. Faced with these challenges, international regulation is progressing via the IMO and legal opinions such as that of the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea on decarbonization. The European Union is beginning to impose emission taxes on ships calling at its ports. Pierre-Yves Cadalen advocates for French maritime ecological planning, including the development of marine renewable energies and determined political action to establish harmony between human beings and their living environment. • "If France is the second-largest maritime territory in the world, it is precisely because France has overseas territories, as 97% of the French exclusive economic zone is linked to overseas territories" (Mr. Pierre-Yves Cadalen, 01:30) • "Secondly, it is a scourge because 70% of the world's fleet is under a flag of convenience" (Speaker 13, 34:56) • "For sailors, there are six times more fatal work accidents than for the rest of the working population, and for fishermen, it is 18 times more.

I am certain: a great deal » — Speaker 1 « With the StKiQG, we are finally creating uniform quality standards. The language and development status of all children at the latest by age four will be mandatorily assessed and specifically supported if necessary » — Speaker 1 « The Startchancen program is also successful. With it, we are specifically supporting schools in particularly challenging situations, and I can say today that 20% of primary schools in Germany are being supported by this program » — Speaker 1 « How can we finally do something about language diagnostics and language support together, and that is the joint responsibility of the federal and state governments? That is the game changer in the education system » — Speaker 1 « The 'Aufstiegs-BAföG' (upward mobility grant) is a success story. Over 1 million people have used this instrument so far, with 188,000 young people in the last year alone, and a funding volume of 1.1 billion » — Speaker 1 « The draft law for the reform of the Aufstiegs-BAföG, which is now available, shows that despite the difficult budget situation, we are bringing improvements here regarding training courses, now payment of up to 18,000 euros, funding for the master's project up to 4,000 euros, and a 60 percent waiver of the examination fee » — Speaker 84 **Affordable Housing and Construction Costs** « Nothing stands in the way of our goal of providing more affordable housing in Germany as much as high costs. Construction costs are the final boss of housing construction » — Speaker 12 « We have allocated record funds in the upcoming budget for affordable housing, especially for social housing.

The Federal Ministry for Housing has therefore held talks with market participants to further develop subsidy programs. » — Speaker 11 « Among other things, maximum loan amounts have been increased to better reflect the price level of existing buildings in need of renovation. Families can now receive up to 180,000 euros, depending on the number of children. » — Speaker 10 « According to the 2022 census, the home ownership rate was 43.7%. To increase the formation of residential property, the Federal Government has initiated various subsidies, such as home ownership support for families, as well as the 'Young buys Old' subsidy programs. » — Speaker 12 « You mentioned a 43.5% home ownership rate in Germany; that is the lowest figure since 2005 and the worst in the EU. » — Stephan Brandner « The home ownership rate alone is not a benchmark for the quality of housing provision. And you are surely aware of the differences in European countries. Germany has a historically grown rental housing market. » — Speaker 9 **Social Housing and Investments** « We are also strengthening social housing with record investments. We are gradually increasing financial resources here. By '29, 5.5 billion euros are to be available annually. » — Speaker 12 « Madam Member of Parliament, it is an achievement of the last two coalitions to have brought social housing funds to this level, including the current coalition. This is the second-highest sum since the end of the Second World War. » — Speaker 9 « For this, we are providing a total of one billion euros by '26. According to financial planning, funds are expected to rise to a good 1.5 billion euros by '29, and half of the funds will flow into rural areas. » — Speaker 12 « This leaves us with a delta of 34.6 billion in promised additional investments that have not actually arrived there.

Shortly after, the Palestinian flag was hoisted on that pole » — Speaker 2 « And this flag, which was torn down this weekend, the largest official flag of our country, is a monument and has been hanging since the 23rd, since October 2, 1990, at 11:50 PM, ten minutes before German unity could be completed; it has been hanging there ever since, and it means something » — Speaker 10 « This flagpole with the Unity Flag is not just any flagpole, but a national monument that has symbolized our German unity since reunification in 1990 » — Speaker 26 « On Sunday, a man climbed the flagpole in front of the Reichstag and threw the flag of unity onto the ground. That is a criminal offense, period. The State Security is investigating, and that is exactly right » — Speaker 42 « The incident on Sunday raises the question of how we can better protect the German Bundestag as a constitutional body. That someone can climb a flagpole nearly 30 meters high in front of the Reichstag building in broad daylight, stay there for an hour, and tear down the flag must not happen again » — Speaker 47 **Security of this House and property protection by the Berlin Police** « Where was the property protection of the Berlin Police, who are primarily responsible?

It concerns us all, and indeed every single day » — Speaker 1 « One in three women has experienced psychological, sexual, or physical violence by a partner or ex-partner in her life, one in three » — Speaker 4 « Violence against women is a structural problem that we have had for many centuries, that we had yesterday, that we have today, and if we do not continue to fight against it, as we are doing, we will also have it tomorrow » — Speaker 7 « Every girl learns early in life – and that was the case in my childhood too, and that was quite a while ago –: I have to be careful, not walk through this park, avoid certain streets in the dark » — Speaker 7 « This influences our everyday life, which paths we take, where we go to celebrate, what we wear. This restricts our freedom long before an act of violence happens » — Speaker 32 « In 2024, a total of 308 women were killed in this country. 132 women were killed by their ex-partner or their partner alone » — Speaker 37 **Violence Protection Act and state responsibility** « But we bear the responsibility to do everything to ensure that women are effectively protected from violence » — Speaker 4 « My ministry therefore focuses on prevention. We start early and we consider all areas » — Speaker 4 « With the Violence Protection Act, we have set a central course.

And when you consider that the costs here have almost tripled, we are at 420 million euros, that is of course completely unacceptable » — Speaker 9 **Luisenblock and savings** « And I would also like to mention in this context that there is also a very concrete plan for savings. Luisenblock II: saved at least 600 million in volume » — Speaker 15 « On May 20, it was decided not to build the Luisenblock II. Many thanks to the Construction and Space Commission: at least 600 million saved » — Speaker 4 « Over 100 million for Luisenblock East I, because we put the question of task criticism at the beginning after weeks of meticulous work » — Speaker 18 **Security and renovation** « As far as the whole topic of security is concerned, but also bug-proof rooms, this building is urgently necessary » — Speaker 15 « We now have very differently addressed attacks against us, against our civil infrastructure: water, electricity and much more » — Speaker https://videos.polyfact.com/de-bt-7667554-vod/manifest.m3u8 2114 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/de-bt-7667565-vod 2026-11-11 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/de-bt-7667565-vod/20261111200045/1280.jpg 107.

If the hope is that procedures will automatically become leaner, I must disagree » — Speaker 11 « We are moving to a vote on the recommendation of the Committee on Education, Family, Seniors, Women and Youth regarding the motion by The Left party titled: "Permanently secure education funding - abolish the ban on cooperation" » — Speaker 2 **Federalism and the Basic Law** « And in this week of November 9th, it should not be forgotten that German federalism is not only historically conditioned, but was consciously created after 1945 as a counter-model to the centralist unitary state of National Socialism » — Speaker 1 « Federalism is part of our DNA, our DNA, and that I am acting here as an apologist for the Basic Law and explaining Articles 30 and 70 of the Basic Law to you, that certainly pleases you immensely, because we do not want a central state to govern the states » — Speaker 15 « You know very well https://videos.polyfact.com/de-bt-7667565-vod/manifest.m3u8 2094 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/de-bt-7667575-vod 2026-11-11 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/de-bt-7667575-vod/20261111200047/1280.jpg 107.

No, I think first of all, he is a candidate" — Speaker 3 "He had said it well before the presidential election. He had already indicated that it interested him, that he wanted to participate in it. And then he has things, I suppose, to say and we will see as we go along, where he will position himself, what his orientation will be, what his proposals will be. For now, we only have a video and an interview with Le Parisien" — Speaker 3 **The strategy of Jean-Luc Mélenchon** "A year ago, almost to the day, you said in Paris Match that Jean-Luc Mélenchon was a dated, expired product.

Do you still affirm that today, given the trend, the momentum accompanying Jean-Luc Mélenchon, is he still expired?" — Speaker 4 "He is not in a perspective of making proposals, besides, he doesn't care. The question for him is to be in the second round" — Speaker 2 "Because his goal, but he says it and we don't repeat it, his goal is the confrontation with Marine Le Pen, he doesn't care about the rest.

SNPDEN-UNSA: Intensification of violence and blockades in French high schools Since the return from the autumn holidays, acts of violence in high schools have intensified and reached an extreme level of severity. Olivier Beaufrère, national secretary of the SNPDEN-UNSA, reports direct mortar fire, the start of fires, and burning trash cans. In Chelles, a regional elected official was struck by a gasoline bottle. In some departments, 30 to 40% of institutions are impacted and are no longer able to function. The human toll is heavy, with nearly 300 education staff injured since the beginning of the mobilization. School principals have been hospitalized after being targeted by mortar fire. Principals are suffering from total exhaustion and significant psychological trauma when faced with individuals who are often masked or hooded, making it difficult to identify them as students. Faced with this situation, which is deemed unacceptable and exceptional, the union is requesting human reinforcements, suggesting the mobilization of recently retired principals or local colleagues. Olivier Beaufrère cites the example of the aid sent to Mayotte during a hurricane to justify this need for support. Some principals may now request to change schools or move to middle schools. • "It is true that the incidents are becoming increasingly serious and are intensifying, particularly since the return from the autumn holidays" (Unknown speaker, 00:50) • "Nearly 300 education staff have indeed been injured since the beginning of the mobilization" (Unknown speaker, 01:08) • "And then we are seeing, especially since the return from the autumn holidays, these mortar attacks and the start of fires in the institutions, and these are incidents of extreme gravity" (Unknown speaker, 03:21) • "We have school principals who have been hit by direct mortar fire who are injured, who are hospitalized, so we are really dealing with exceptional incidents" (Unknown speaker, 04:06) • "We realize that in some departments, we can reach up to perhaps 30 to https://www.youtube.com/embed/eLHHozaV1SQ 524 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/eX9r8GIgvnY 2026-11-11 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/eX9r8GIgvnY/hqdefault.jpg Maître Florence Rouas : «Où sont nos si brillantes féministes ?» Maître Florence Rouas' reaction to death threats against Louise Montangon Louise Montangon, head of the UNI in Bordeaux, is the target of death threats and sexist attacks on social media. The speakers highlight the unbearable nature of these attacks targeting a person described as intelligent, cultured, and possessing structured thought, who expresses her convictions calmly without attacking anyone. Faced with these attacks that also affect Laurence Boccolini, Maître Florence Rouas questions the lack of reaction from feminists. She regrets that no one says a word about the situation of these two women, suggesting that this silence is explained by the fact that they do not belong to the right camp. • "So, we don't really understand why she is being targeted. And then, and this also applies to Laurence Boccolini. Personally, I have a question. I'm not going to talk about Laurence, I'll let you lay out the facts, Nelly, but I have a question regarding these two women who are victims of sexist attacks and death threats: where are our so brilliant feminists who never miss an opportunity to step up when it suits them?

Gabriel Attal on France Inter: the refusal of a Mélenchon-Le Pen duel Gabriel Attal asserts that the common denominator among candidates in a potential primary is the refusal to have to choose between Jean-Luc Mélenchon and Marine Le Pen in the second round of the presidential election. He explains that if the winner of this primary is the only one in a position to prevent this duel, he has no reason not to vote for them, in order to avoid the worst for the country. The former Prime Minister acknowledges profound differences with Bruno Retailleau, particularly regarding same-sex marriage, the constitutionalization of abortion rights, or the proposal to make referendums take precedence over the Constitution. However, he emphasizes that these disagreements are infinitely less significant than those he holds with candidates who wish to stop support for Ukraine or who deny climate change. When asked about his support for figures like Bruno Retailleau or David Lisnard in the event of a primary victory, Gabriel Attal specifies that his participation in such a vote implies accepting the result to block the extremes. He notes that Raphaël Glucksmann is not, today, in a position to be in the second round to prevent the duel between Jean-Luc Mélenchon and Marine Le Pen. • "I will tell you, today there is a common denominator, and that is refusing to have to choose between Jean-Luc Mélenchon and Marine Le Pen in the second round" (Unknown speaker, 01:14) • "There is no Benjamin Duhamel, if I participate in a primary with other candidates to prevent a Mélenchon-Le Pen second round, and the person who emerges from this primary is the only one in a position to prevent a Mélenchon-Le Pen second round, because there are no other candidates in that position—Raphaël Glucksmann today is not in a position to be in the second round to prevent the Mélenchon-Le Pen duel—I have no reason not to vote for him" (Unknown speaker, 01:29) • "But of course I would, because Benjamin Duhamel, that is where we are today.

Maître Florence Rault observes that there are degrees in acts and that the threshold of violence is increasingly high. The lawyer mentions a scene at the Montparnasse train station last weekend. She points out that in a Relay H store, one can find everything: books for all opinions, religions, or trends, as well as press and products for children. She reminds us that it is a place of freedom. She compares the desire to annihilate any memory or history to methods used in totalitarian countries where libraries were burned. According to her, this insane and dangerous ideology aims to annihilate knowledge and what leads man to be human. • "In any case, what we can observe is that, indeed, in terms of acts, there are still degrees, and the further we go, the higher the grade, the higher the threshold. It is true that this scene at the Montparnasse station last weekend, where we realize that some would like to annihilate every memory, every history, every movement—we are told we must stop the fascists, very well, but in a Relay H, there is everything in terms of books.

We share our history, and our history obliges us. From that perspective, November 11 is, of course, a day of commemoration. It is the day of the 1918 armistice, 1.4 million dead. Remember those valiant soldiers who spoke of the 'war to end all wars'" — Unknown speaker "And since then, it is also the commemoration of all the dead of our country across various conflicts" — Unknown speaker "So not just the First World War, right" — Unknown speaker "But all conflicts, including the soldiers who serve in the name of France all over the world. In a few minutes, when I leave this set, I am going to meet the families of the soldiers who died for France this year. These families who are grieving today with the pride of what their sons—in this case, they are men—what their sons and husbands have done.

There are certain teachers' unions, notably the SNES-FSU, that want to boycott the moment of remembrance that Édouard Geffray asked them to observe in schools to specifically evoke November 11, this commemoration of the First World War, but not only that.

For the 2026 edition of November 11th, the municipality undertook memorial work after discovering that about ten names of soldiers who died for France were missing from the war memorial. A new commemorative plaque incorporating these forgotten names is unveiled during this unique ceremony. The mayor defines this patriotic work as loving France and its values without despising those of others. The event takes place in the presence of the sub-prefect and representatives of neighboring municipalities. Youth actively participate in this commemoration. The youth municipal council makes its first appearance, alongside the defense class from the Cantelauze middle school. Elementary, middle, and high school students also participate in a choir to sing La Marseillaise. • "So, indeed, that is the particularity of this November 11th ceremony today. The particularity is that we realized, and I realized when I took office a few months ago, that not all the soldiers who died for France were listed on this commemorative plaque. And so, I wanted to initiate a memorial project, a patriotic project, which is also important, meaning to love France, to love its values without hating or despising those of others. And in the light of this work, in fact, the idea emerged that about ten names of soldiers were missing" (Unknown speaker, 00:55) • "And so, the uniqueness of this ceremony today is that we are affixing a new plaque to the war memorial and we are including about ten names that were not previously inscribed there" (Unknown speaker, 00:55) • "First of all, welcome to Fonsorbes.

This situation is facilitated by Europe's energy dependence: after the sabotage of Nord Stream and the sanctions against Russia, Europeans turned to the United States for their gas and diesel supplies. Donald Trump reportedly threatened to turn off the tap. Faced with rising social unrest, strategic diesel stocks were released to lower prices, but these prices are expected to rise again once the stocks are depleted. The speaker points out that the Europeans were not given a seat at the discussions in Abu Dhabi. A resolution to the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East is hoped for by the end of the year. This could involve a new division of the world, described as a new Yalta, between Russia, China, and the United States in order to stabilize the situation by 2026. • "But that is what Donald Trump has finally managed to do in recent weeks, and why the situation is different today, is that in my opinion he has managed to neutralize the Europeans, which they had been doing for 5 years because they absolutely wanted to wage this war to be able to arrive at their federal Europe. And how did he do it? Well, there are, of course, other things that contributed, such as the restriction of the Starlink network, but in fact the Europeans, you know, they bought their energy from Russia before, their gas and their diesel" (Unknown speaker, 00:00) • "With the explosion, the sabotage of Nord Stream and the international sanctions on Russia, they turned to the United States which today provides us with a large part of our gas, a large part of our diesel. So Donald Trump simply said: 'If you continue, I will turn off the tap'" (Unknown speaker, 00:00) • "No, no, of course, but they did it above all for Donald Trump. They did it more for Donald Trump than for the French.

Securing high schools: debate on the establishment of security perimeters in Paris Eight Parisian district mayors are proposing that the Paris Academy and the police prefecture study a solution to guarantee the right to study in the face of high school blockades. This measure could take the form of decrees prohibiting gatherings in specific areas for a limited time. While law enforcement confirms their obligation to enforce such perimeters, they nevertheless emphasize the difficulty of implementation in terms of staffing. The debate pits the freedom to demonstrate against the freedom to study. For proponents of firmness, blocking the gates flouts the rights of the silent majority. Conversely, student representatives argue that the blockade is the only way to be heard after the failure of petitions and traditional demonstrations. They point out that blockade decisions are made in general assemblies open to all. The issue of violence crystallizes tensions. While mortar fire and fires have been reported in some establishments, student unions maintain that this damage is the work of an extreme minority. They point primarily to a chronic lack of investment, demanding a 4 billion euro plan for building renovations rather than security measures, denouncing inequalities in treatment between territories and between public and private sectors. • "We have made a proposal with eight Parisian district mayors to the rector who represents the National Education, the Paris Academy, to work with the police prefect to study a solution that would allow every high school student who wishes to study to do so" (Geoffroy BOULARD, 01:38) • "The freedom to study is being flouted.

Victims are facing mortar fire, arson, and insults that are becoming commonplace.

Staff members are expressing growing fear for themselves and their families, noting that one management staff member has been injured every day since the return from the All Saints' holidays. Faced with this situation, staff are requesting a police presence as a preventive measure starting at 7 a.m. to avoid blockades and vandalism. A major political response to the students' demands is deemed necessary, such as guaranteeing every high school graduate a place in higher education in order to put an end to the movement. • "The Minister of National Education has just informed us that 77 management staff members have been injured since the beginning of this movement in September, 245 education staff in total" (Speaker 1, 08:02) • "Their names, their photos are sometimes published online as targets.

At the same time, the latest inflation figures appear more structural than in previous months. Core inflation, which excludes energy and food, rose again in October. In this context, a rate hike in December is considered extremely likely. Regarding economic prospects, Moody's now forecasts only 0.2% growth this year, compared to the 0.5% anticipated by the government.

She reiterated that audiovisual media are subject to a framework set by the legislature and that this petition is currently a parliamentary matter for which the Assembly will decide the next steps.

Although this violence began to be observed at the start of the movement about a month and a half ago, an upsurge has been noted since the return from the All Saints' Day holidays. After a brief lull, the movement restarted in a smaller number of institutions, estimated at between 200 and 250 high schools nationwide. However, these incidents are now characterized by exacerbated violence within these institutions. • "What can one say other than the dread that such images can arouse in the face of such physical violence, which is absolutely appalling, absolutely, yes, absolutely appalling. Now, it is a violence that seems to be spreading quite a bit, especially since the return from the All Saints' Day holidays. Even though it must be remembered that one thing is important, which is that such violence began to be observed from the very beginning of the movement, already about a month and a half ago now" (Unknown speaker, 00:01) • "Then, following that, it would seem that this violence marked a small lull and we restarted at the return from the All Saints' Day holidays in a smaller number of high schools, probably on the order of 200 to 250 across the national territory, but with exacerbated violence concerning these institutions" (Unknown speaker, 00:01) https://www.youtube.com/embed/phHvSiTFS8w 55 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/qGL-2wDgIhQ 2026-11-11 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/qGL-2wDgIhQ/hqdefault.jpg Canicules et incendies à répétition : qui paie le prix fort ? | AMFIS 2026 AMFIS 2026: Heatwaves and wildfires, the social and operational cost of the crisis **Causes and responsibilities of the climate crime** "So Yamina, you clearly state in a recent interview that the cause of the ecological crisis has a name, and you say it: it's capitalism" — Ms. Ali Benali Sabrina "Because, in fact, they have done nothing to address the causes of climate change. And when I say that it is capitalism that has brought us here, it is because, as you know, the notion of capitalism is that what matters is the limitless exploitation of existing resources" — Yamina Saheb "Yet, no policy, none in the world, no emission reduction policy addresses the real problem, which is that of fossil fuels. Because attacking fossil fuels means attacking the powerful" — Yamina Saheb "But it is an energy-climate package that locks us into fossil fuels. And so it is an energy-climate package that, today, locks us into climate crime" — Yamina Saheb "And the real arsonists today, well, they are at the Élysée, or they are jet-skiing in Brégançon, 50 km away from the fires ravaging the forests" — Gaspard d’Allens "And I think we must also be quite vigilant about the shock strategy that is currently underway.

Although no recent document proves a plan to impose Sharia, testimonies such as that of Mohamed Louizi point to an undeclared strategy of Islamization. Anthropologist Florence Bergeaud-Blackler concludes that the movement seeks to make societies compatible with Sharia. Islamologist Lina Murr Nehmé highlights the existence of a double discourse by Tariq Ramadan and details the role of his father, Saïd Ramadan, in a global Islamization project with Saudi King Faisal. Furthermore, a decree dated September 3, 2025, dissolved the Morvan imam school. This government text specifies that school officials held responsibilities in an association that transferred millions of euros to Hamas satellite structures. • "I don't think so, there is no conflation, there is in reality an illusion, that which consists of believing that a movement is only dangerous if it plants bombs. Musulmans de France has never been convicted of terrorism, but the report submitted to the government in 2025 nevertheless makes it the French branch of the Muslim Brotherhood with 139 mosques and 280 associations, even if it says it found no recent document proving a project, a plan sorry, to impose Sharia. But the Muslim Brotherhood never publishes its plan.

He addresses the issue of racism in France with derision, notably mentioning the association's logo and the composition of the radio station's team. The comedian comments on political news, citing the National Rally's (RN) acquisition of a 10.6 million euro loan from two banks. He also mentions the announcement of judo champion Teddy Riner's candidacy for the presidential election, comparing this situation to the election of Barack Obama in the United States. The column ends with a satire of the reactions of different electorates to racism and discrimination. Philippe Caverivière mocks the positions attributed to LR, socialist, and LFI voters, while highlighting the difficulty of being a racist in 2026 given the popularity of figures like Kylian, Zidane, or Omar Sy. • "The president of SOS Racisme, Dominique Sopo, stayed for your column" (Unknown speaker, 00:06) • "Indeed, judo champion Teddy Riner has announced his candidacy for the presidential election" (Speaker 3, 03:22) • "We have our limits.

She points out that these tensions, observed as early as the 1980s in Les Minguettes, progressed to the flare-ups of 2005 and June 2023 following the death of Nahel. According to her, the country is now fractured by the abandonment of authority, the rule of law, assimilation, and the transmission of what once formed a common identity. The analysis points to a political responsibility shared over several decades. Emmanuel Macron's two five-year terms are said to have finished off the rule of law, while the Mitterrand years are identified as the moment when the left dismantled existing structures. Naima M'faddel believes that the right failed to respond, remaining under the moral magisterium of the left. The current situation is also linked to long-standing issues, such as parental responsibility and juvenile delinquency. These issues, already present in the 1980s, were at the origin of the creation of urban policy, without, however, having prevented the explosion of violence across the entire country. • "But I would go much further than you, that is to say more than forty years, and I talk about it precisely in my book, where I saw how we went from renunciation to renunciation because those riots, those attacks against our police officers, I experienced them in the neighborhoods, we experienced them as early as the 1980s, Les Minguettes, and then it never ceased in several neighborhoods, until 2005 where it flared up in all the neighborhoods, and June 2023, after the death of Nahel, you saw how it exploded across the whole country.

His solution is based on reducing social security contributions levied on wages. He emphasizes that the French social model can no longer rely solely on workers, as they face competition from robots and digital technology, which do not pay employer contributions. Operationally, the use of strategic stocks has allowed diesel prices to be lowered by 21 cents at Leclerc. Furthermore, the company is presented as a lever to accelerate the decarbonization of the economy. Regarding security, he calls for enhanced digital hygiene with stricter specifications for manufacturers and maintenance providers. Finally, Michel-Édouard Leclerc mentions the figure of Teddy, a personality from Guadeloupe, whom he describes as a moral unifier. He sees him as a true antidote to the anxiety currently affecting French society. • "Yes, we must increase wages, work must pay, work must pay more, our children must be able to buy an apartment with their salary" (Unknown speaker, 01:03) • "My solution is to provide tax relief, to remove social security contributions from wages that we make people pay on top of their salary" (Unknown speaker, 01:27) • "maintaining the French social model cannot be financed only by workers when work is being competed with by robots and digital technology that do not pay employer contributions" (Unknown speaker, 01:50) • "I especially thought that we could go much faster with the company, alongside the company, with our employees to transition, for example, to the decarbonization of our economy" (Unknown speaker, 07:06) • "By mixing strategic stocks with our conventional diesel supplies, we were able to lower prices for Leclerc by 21 cents" (Unknown speaker, 02:48) https://www.youtube.com/embed/vnv7CptgOAs 493 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/w7Mcj2SUxsM 2026-11-11 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/w7Mcj2SUxsM/hqdefault.jpg Teddy Riner fait-il de l’ombre à Jean-Luc Mélenchon ? La France Insoumise's reaction to the potential presidential candidacy of Teddy Riner When asked about a potential candidacy by Teddy Riner, La France Insoumise believes it does not concern them much. The movement recalls that the judoka once said he loved Nicolas Sarkozy and is now presenting a candidacy that is neither right-wing nor left-wing. According to the organization, the question should instead be put to Gabriel Attal and Édouard Philippe. Regarding the idea that Teddy Riner might overshadow Jean-Luc Mélenchon, the movement highlights an unprecedented show of force with 20,000 people gathered at Le Bourget. This event allowed for the presentation of a government program with a team described as being in top form. The campaign momentum is based on the 'L'Avenir en commun' (A Future in Common) program and benefits from the support of nine communist and overseas parliamentarians, including Stéphane Peu, president of the GDR group.

This date is considered highly symbolic because men fell and shed their blood for this flag to preserve freedoms. The flag is defined as the symbol of national unity and of a State that promotes equality. The debate highlights that the French State is non-denominational and that the Republic recognizes no religion, but guarantees freedom of conscience, meaning the freedom to believe or not to believe. The YouTuber is criticized for not knowing what the veil or the French flag actually mean. Finally, the exchange clarifies that the flag is not meant to hide women's bodies, citing the example of Marianne, who does not hide herself with this symbol. The act is thus reiterated as being pure provocation in a context where the meaning of the French flag seems to have been lost. • "Well, I'll tell you, badly. Why? Because I consider it a provocation. And it's a provocation because, first of all, the date chosen to communicate about this is November 11th, and November 11th is truly symbolic since men and men fell for this flag, shed blood to preserve our freedoms.

The West would find itself in great difficulty facing a real danger, especially since Iran seeks to export Islamist ideology. The threats are already targeting food and blood supplies. History is considered unpredictable, making predictions about the future difficult. For example, the film Rambo 3 showed Stallone alongside the Taliban against the Soviets, at a time when women were free in Afghanistan. Ten years after these alliances, the events of September 11 occurred, illustrating how quickly situations change. • "That's why those who predict the future are very often wrong, because things change so much. It's very difficult to know. But in any case, what is certain is that if Iran has the atomic bomb, the West is in great difficulty because they attack food, they attack blood supplies. They have also heated up the blood supplies. So, it's a real danger, especially since they have an ideology to export, the Islamist ideology" (Unknown speaker, 00:46) • "For Europe, yes, if if Iran had the atomic bomb, it is obvious that Iran would blackmail Europe.

Alma Dufour points out that one in two French people struggles to pay their electricity bills, while Waleed Mouhali notes that poorly insulated homes ('thermal sieves') heavily drain budgets. Faced with the failure of government measures, the speakers advocate for price caps and decoupling electricity prices from fossil fuels. The question of energy sovereignty is central. Bastien Cuq highlights that dependence on fossil fuels costs France between 60 and 100 billion euros per year. While current nuclear power is considered dependent on uranium transiting through Russia, renewable energies are presented as a resilient and more economical solution. Alma Dufour asserts that only renewables will be able to meet electrification needs in the coming decade, as new nuclear power cannot be ready in time. Political proposals include planning for sobriety to reduce the consumption of natural resources and exit energy poverty. Waleed Mouhali proposes a target of 500,000 home renovations per year and the establishment of an energy social security system. Alma Dufour also mentions the need to nationalize certain energy players and to break free from European budgetary rules that prevent the necessary massive investments, estimated at between 60 and 120 billion euros per year. • "And overall, energy has become, in a few years, the main purchasing power problem for the French, meaning that one in two French people, literally, when there are polls, admit that they have trouble paying their electricity bill" (Ms. Alma Dufour, 05:55) • "Only renewables will allow us to meet our electrification needs in the next 15 years, in the coming decade, because, whether we want to restart the nuclear fleet or not, it will never be ready in time to meet current challenges" (Ms. Alma Dufour, 32:11) • "So, the idea is still that in https://www.youtube.com/embed/xAtiIvAPT5A 4213 2026-11-11 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/xKqipxz7n-U 2026-11-11 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xKqipxz7n-U/hqdefault.jpg Commémorations de l'Armistice du 11-Novembre : "un devoir de mémoire" • FRANCE 24 November 11 commemorations on France 24: between the duty of remembrance and the war in Ukraine **November 11 and the culture of war** "November 11 is a celebration of peace.

According to her, depriving the Russians of funding for the war requires coordinated action, especially if the Americans were to follow the European example. Regarding Israel and Palestine, the EU is the primary supporter of the Palestinian Authority.

She also notes that the 27 member states have very different traditions and histories of relations with Israel. The EU enlargement process continues for the Balkans, Ukraine, Georgia, and Moldova, with the hope of seeing Montenegro cross the finish line soon. This progress must remain based on merit and respect for the rule of law. Furthermore, she observes that the concerns related to Brexit have materialized in the United Kingdom, while noting the persistent trauma of the departure negotiations.

He distinguishes three groups in the current movements: looters from the neighborhoods, rioters close to the Black Blocs, and high school students discovering politics through violence. The former minister highlights the influence of Jean-Luc Mélenchon, whom he describes as a very cultured and intelligent man, but whose harmfulness is the worst. According to him, the LFI leader is banking on a civil war scenario in the event of Marine Le Pen's election to put himself at the forefront, while 50% of 18-25 year olds support him. Finally, Luc Ferry asserts that neither the government nor the justice system is up to the task of addressing the problem. He considers the judicial response insufficient and that police officers are left to fend for themselves in the face of hatred for school and authority. • "Well listen, I agree with what was said, I think it was a police officer you interviewed, I think what is wrong, if you want, is that the judicial response is not up to the level.

The committee is examining the annual reports of ACT agencies, and the hearing heard from the Suburban Land Agency, the City Renewal Authority and two ministers. Bren Burkevics, Executive Group Manager, Environment, Heritage and Parks, said the contract for the Upper Murrumbidgee Waterwatch program was signed on 3 November 2026, with Landcare as preferred supplier. Orr said the government must put a contract to tender. "There is no conspiracy here," she said, adding that people can apply and are assessed against the criteria. Burkevics said the catchment groups' first-round submission was deemed noncompliant, so a new approach to market began. He said it failed "against a number of criteria due to the evaluation and some commercial reasons" and would not give more detail. Burkevics said the contract is on the Tenders ACT website. ### Official says bird flu samples all negative Bren Burkevics, Executive Group Manager, Environment, Heritage and Parks, said 28 birds had been formally sampled in the ACT, all returning negative, with 1,007 sick or dead bird reports received. Orr said the ACT does not have bird flu and that one isolated incursion in the region showed no spread. Burkevics told Liberal MLA Elizabeth Lee the testing is by triage by a biosecurity veterinarian. ### SLA says up to half of CSIRO land preserved Suburban Land Agency chief executive Adam Davey said around 45 to 50% of the CSIRO land bought at Ginninderra East is preserved as conservation area. He gave the answer after taking Greens MLA Jo Clay's question on notice. Clay also raised a gap between land release planned and reported. Davey said the agency fell short in 2024-25, largely because of a Molonglo town centre release of about 700 https://videos.polyfact.com/au-act-01f61d79b4ed42ec93278e689f87c14f-963f14b28a8143dca6a15e2e5d79a160-vod/manifest.m3u8 11998 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/nsw-legislative-council-299058015-live 2026-11-11 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/nsw-legislative-council-299058015-live/20261111100102/1280.jpg NSW Legislative Council – 11 November 2026 Parliament of New South Wales, Legislative Council broadcast of 11 November 2026, from 9:01 am AEDT (live). https://videos.polyfact.com/nsw-legislative-council-299058015-live/manifest.m3u8 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/nsw-legislative-council-299058015-vod 2026-11-11 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/nsw-legislative-council-299058015-vod/20261111120135/1280.jpg NSW Legislative Council – 11 November 2026 Council defeats bill to restore childcare vaccine objections ### Council defeats vaccine objection bill The NSW Legislative Council, sitting on Wednesday 11 November 2026, defeated the Public Health Amendment (Immunisation) Bill 2026 at second reading, with the question resolved in the negative after a division of four ayes to 32 noes. The bill, introduced by Libertarian Party member John Ruddick, would bring back a conscientious objection pathway for enrolling unvaccinated children in childcare. Nationals member Sarah Mitchell said the Opposition would not support it. Labor's Emily Suvaal said the Government would not support it, and Greens member Amanda Cohn said the Greens opposed it. Ruddick said of how many parents might object: "It'd be 10%, it could be 30%, but we're not going to know unless we pass this bill." ### Coal mining papers order amended Greens member Cate Faehrmann moved an order for papers on coal mining. Independent Mark Latham's amendment removing paragraphs a and b passed 18 to 16, and the motion then went to a vote as amended. ### Sharpe defends energy loan cap Asked by Liberal member Damien Tudehope about excluding households from the Home Energy Saver loan, Energy Minister Penny Sharpe said the program was a A$577 million program helping households cut bills, and said it was capped deliberately. ### Hurst introduces animal welfare office bill Animal Justice Party member Emma Hurst introduced the Independent Office of Animal Welfare Bill 2026. She said the Government's own bill "risks actually taking the animal protection framework in New South Wales backwards". Debate was adjourned. • Transport Minister John Graham said the Government is consulting on an age limit of 12 for e-bikes but has not committed to legislating by Christmas. • The Council agreed to call for papers on Camden Hospital 16 to 14 and on preschool funding, and passed Amanda Cohn's cybersecurity motion unamended. • Debate on Hurst's animal welfare bill was adjourned. https://videos.polyfact.com/nsw-legislative-council-299058015-vod/manifest.m3u8 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/nsw-legislative-assembly-299058006-live 2026-11-11 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/nsw-legislative-assembly-299058006-live/20261111100059/1280.jpg NSW Legislative Assembly – 11 November 2026 Parliament of New South Wales, Legislative Assembly broadcast of 11 November 2026, from 9:00 am AEDT (live). https://videos.polyfact.com/nsw-legislative-assembly-299058006-live/manifest.m3u8 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/nsw-legislative-assembly-299058006-vod 2026-11-11 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/nsw-legislative-assembly-299058006-vod/20261111103108/1280.jpg NSW Legislative Assembly – 11 November 2026 Assembly amends Liberal preschool motion ### Assembly amends Liberal preschool motion The NSW Legislative Assembly sat on Wednesday 11 November 2026 and, in a public interest debate on preschool funding, voted 55 to 35 to amend a Liberal motion. Independent Wollondilly MP Judy Hannan moved the amendment, which replaced the words after "House" with new wording. Liberal MP Felicity Wilson, who moved the original motion, said the Liberals would reverse the Government's changes and "reinstate the Start Strong framework". The motion concerned the Government's decision to abolish the Start Strong funding framework from 31 December 2026. Hannan said sector research involving more than 140 preschools found 51% projected annual losses exceeding A$100,000. Wilson said the Liberals could not support the amendment because it watered down their requests. ### Park announces A$113 million for hospital security Health Minister Ryan Park said in Question Time the Government had committed A$113 million to deliver 129 additional security staff across NSW hospitals. He said security staff had risen about 13% over three and a half years, with a 12% drop in reportable incidents. He was answering a question from Labor MP Julia Finn. ### Car acknowledges preschool funding concerns Asked by Liberal MP Felicity Wilson whether she would reverse the preschool cuts, Deputy Premier and Education Minister Prue Car said she acknowledged concern raised by the sector, particularly community preschools. She said the Government was working with the peak body and the Independent Education Union on the concerns. She did not say the funding would be reversed. ### Electoral bill passes with cross-party support The Assembly dealt with the Electoral Legislation Amendment (Miscellaneous) Bill 2026, which Minister Jenny Aitchison moved and the House read a second and third time. The bill requires parties to adopt a code of conduct and give it to the Electoral Commission, and limits posters near voting centres.

The proposed financial assistance package includes a grant of up to 450 million, alongside 474 million for critical transport and a separate DCMS grant of 438 million, totaling 1.3 billion in government spending. The project is expected to create 8,000 to 8,500 jobs and provide a 50 billion pound economic boost. To protect the taxpayer, the grant will be paid in arrears no earlier than April 2031 and only after the formal grand opening. Legal protections include a parent company guarantee, primary legal charges over the site, and clawback terms lasting 15 years if profits exceed a specified rate of return. Ministers state the subsidy is necessary because Universal would not have proceeded with the investment without it, citing risks that go beyond normal commercial risk. Members raised concerns regarding the subsidy control assessment, noting identified shortcomings in proportionality and competition impacts. Specifically, Merlin Entertainments and Disneyland Paris were identified as competitors likely to be affected. Some members questioned the necessity of the grant for a company with a market cap exceeding 150 billion dollars and expressed concern over the lack of transport funding for the Bedford to Brighton Thameslink line. • « the Government announced that we had reached an agreement with Comcast, NBCUniversal, and its subsidiary, UDX Development Company Ltd, to unlock over six billion in direct capital investment » (Intervenant 4, 00:13) • « There are three elements to this package: the grant of up to 450 million we're discussing today; the Department for Transport will invest 474 million in critical transport; and the DCMS will make a separate grant of 438 million » (Intervenant 3, 02:25) • « https://videos.polyfact.com/e82676b2-2642-41d7-8578-e939d587f8b0-vod/manifest.m3u8 2782 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/e82676b2-2642-41d7-8578-e939d587f8b0-live 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/e82676b2-2642-41d7-8578-e939d587f8b0-live/20261110190053/1280.jpg First Delegated Legislation Committee Motion in the name of Stephanie Peacock relating to Financial Assistance to Industry https://videos.polyfact.com/e82676b2-2642-41d7-8578-e939d587f8b0-live/manifest.m3u8 3888 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/20261110-1800-DELEGATION-DACP-vod 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/20261110-1800-DELEGATION-DACP-vod/20261110194602/1280.jpg Plenary session - OACPS-EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly Second Plenary Session of the OACPS-EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly on Global Partnerships **International Cooperation and Rules-Based Order** « Distinguished members, colleagues, ladies and gentlemen, I now declare open the second joint plenary Parliamentary Assembly.

He noted that electrification is now at the center of most government measures to fight climate change, though it is not yet moving fast enough. Energy policy is no longer just about climate change; it is now fundamentally linked to security and lowering prices. Jørgensen argued that the trade-offs of the past have ended, as even governments not initially supportive of the green transition are making green decisions because renewables and energy efficiency provide the answers to energy safety and cost challenges. Despite the pressures on multilateralism, the Commissioner emphasized the importance of gathering over 190 countries to agree on energy, transport, and heating policies. He described the ongoing efforts at the COP as a step in the right direction for solving the climate crisis through international cooperation. • « Almost 700 GW of new renewable energy came online last year. In Europe, we also broke our own records, 89 GW of new renewables online. Electrification is going fast.

He noted that while the EU has a Defence Innovation Office in Kyiv, the UARM Hub represents a first step toward a Ukrainian defence innovation centre in Brussels. Kubilius emphasized that Europe must learn from the Ukrainian drone defence ecosystem, where producers work closely with operators on the front line to create a business-type dynamism within the regular army. He suggested the hub should act as an academy of Ukrainian war battle-tested industrial experience to help transform European demand and support pan-European projects. Specific initiatives highlighted include the Eastern Flank Watch, the Drone Defence Initiative, and Air and Missile Defence. The Commissioner also noted that Europe is waiting for the success of two antiballistic projects led by Ukraine, Freya and Blixem, and mentioned the ongoing work on a Pact on Strategic Defence Industrial Partnership. • « That creates totally different drone defense ecosystem, very dynamic and much more innovative than still we see here in majority of European Union and perhaps NATO member states. And that your experience in creation of such ecosystem is broader and more important than just experience of industrial production of drones. And a clear Ukrainian lesson to Europe, such an ecosystem cannot be created without active leadership of drone industry. That is what our drone industry needs to learn, not only to produce drones, but also to create the whole ecosystem of drone defence. And in order for us to learn that, this UARM Hub is going to play crucial role » (Intervenant 1, 01:40) • « The hub needs to be ready to play this much broader role.

He noted that while 461,000 tons of fisheries were landed in UK ports in 2025, the country imported over 1.1 million tons of seafood. The proposed strategy aims to connect fisheries management with decisions on energy, marine space, skills, and food security. Members highlighted a "perfect storm" of challenges including astronomical fuel costs, crew issues, and spatial squeeze. Jim Shannon MP and others pointed out that EU vessels benefit from crisis mechanisms and fuel support that create an unfair competitive advantage. Concerns were also raised regarding the impact of Brexit, which reportedly led to a 30% increase in transport costs and a 50% increase in packaging costs for the seafood industry. Environmental and stock concerns were central to the debate, with Sarah Champion MP citing a report that 62% of assessed fish stocks declined between 2016 and 2025. Robbie Moore MP criticized the government for granting EU vessels access to UK waters until 2038, a move estimated by the National Federation of Fishermen to cost the sector £6 billion. Additionally, the potential for new conservation zones to ban fishing in areas the size of Wales was identified as a threat to livelihoods. In response, Minister Stephen Morgan MP stated the government would consider the case for a national strategy. He highlighted that the reopened Fisheries and Seafood Scheme has already received over 600 applications worth £25 million, with some funding specifically targeted at the small-scale coastal fleet. The government also confirmed that remote electronic monitoring will be legally required on all large pelagic fishing vessels. • « that's why the action plan centers on a foundational recommendation that asks government to set out a long-term strategy for UK https://videos.polyfact.com/13d6dda8-7e06-4f41-a665-aa520dc293e3-vod/manifest.m3u8 11192 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/19701767_6af34458efcbc-live 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/19701767_6af34458efcbc-live/20261110180059/1280.jpg Commission des affaires étrangères et commission des affaires européennes : M.

Albin Kurti, premier Hearing of Albin Kurti at the National Assembly on Kosovo's EU accession Prime Minister Albin Kurti recalled that Kosovo submitted its application for European Union membership in December 2022. He is now seeking France's support for the European Council to ask the Commission about obtaining official candidate status. Although the country shows 90% popular support for European integration, deputies emphasize that this status will depend on concrete results in justice, the fight against corruption, and normalization with Serbia. On the diplomatic front, Albin Kurti places mutual recognition at the heart of normalization with Belgrade. He criticizes an approach that would make this normalization a starting point rather than a final goal, believing that this blocks the accession process. Despite persistent tensions, particularly after the Banjska attack, encouraging signs are noted, such as Kosovo's participation in the Central European Free Trade Agreement as a state party. The Franco-Kosovar bilateral relationship was strengthened by the signing of five agreements in July 2024, covering mutual legal assistance and the teaching of French. The Prime Minister also highlighted Kosovo's economic vitality, citing a public debt of 16%, a tripling of the minimum wage, and the rise of the technology sector. This dynamism is driven by a young population, more than half of whom are under 30, fostering a phenomenon of brain gain. • "Our application to the European Union has been waiting for the next step since 2022. We expect official candidate status to open negotiations" (Albin KURTI, 26:42) • "The European Commission is ready to give an answer, but the European Council must ask the question, and for that we need France's support, to ask the European Commission what the status of Kosovo's application is" (Albin KURTI, 47:29) • "We indeed want normalized relations with our neighbors to the North, Serbia, but it is mutual recognition that is at the heart of all this" (Albin KURTI, 29:32) • "Normalization is the final goal, https://videos.polyfact.com/19701767_6af34458efcbc-vod/manifest.m3u8 5515 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/20261110-1700-COMMITTEE-AFCO-vod 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/20261110-1700-COMMITTEE-AFCO-vod/20261110180132/1280.jpg Committee on Constitutional Affairs Ordinary meeting Committee on Constitutional Affairs Meeting on Right of Inquiry and Seat Allocation The Committee on Constitutional Affairs discussed breaking a 14-year deadlock regarding the European Parliament's right of inquiry. Rapporteur Thijs Reuten presented a working document aimed at 'Lisbonising' the right of inquiry through a new regulation that simplifies procedures and improves readability. The Commission and Council indicated that an agreement is closer than ever, with a final political meeting scheduled for early December to address remaining points on incompatibilities and hearings. Regarding the allocation of seats in the European Parliament, the committee reviewed the requirement to propose a permanent, objective, and transparent method by the end of 2026. Rapporteur Loránt Vincze noted that while there is unanimous support for a permanent method, technical and political complexities remain. These include choosing between mathematical formulas like the Cambridge Compromise or multi-step algorithms, and addressing whether population figures should include third-country nationals. The file will remain a working document for further consideration. The committee also voted on rules for proxy voting during and after pregnancy to ensure Parliament is ready once the legal framework allows. Additionally, members reviewed a mission to Greenland which examined self-government aspirations and the geopolitical situation in the Arctic. Future activities were confirmed, including an own-initiative report on the European Council and a mission to Hungary in 2027. • « Together with the shadows, as you also said, we started working on this file at the beginning of this mandate with the objective of finding a way to break the 14-year deadlock.

Rapporteur Thijs Reuten and other members highlighted a 'Lisbonization' approach to finally establish this regulation, noting a unique window of opportunity with the upcoming Irish Presidency. Technical discussions between institutions have brought an agreement closer than ever before, with a final political meeting scheduled for early December to resolve remaining points on incompatibilities and hearings. Regarding the allocation of seats in the European Parliament, Loránt Vincze presented a working document concluding that no single mathematical formula can resolve the complex political choices involved. While the European Council has requested a transparent method by 2026, current allocations remain based on total resident populations. The committee noted that any future-proof formula would likely result in some member states losing seats, leading Vincze to maintain the file as a working document rather than proceeding with a legislative report. Additionally, the committee reviewed recent and upcoming missions, including a visit to Greenland to study its relationship with Denmark and the EU. Members also agreed on future institutional visits to the Court of Justice of the European Union and a mission to Hungary planned for 2027.

In the end, Sibilla Barbieri could afford to pay the 10,000 euros necessary to go and die in Switzerland." — Speaker 9 "There is no doubt that her lack of schooling, her life directed solely and exclusively toward work for survival and for the sustenance of her family, did not allow her to develop the knowledge that, in a moment of need, would have made her aware of her rights." — Speaker 10 "Those who lack economic means have no choice; they are not guaranteed the freedom and self-determination that are otherwise protected by our Constitution." — Elisa Pirro "It is a reality where the most fragile people—here we are comparing two women, two very different lives—tell you that the most fragile of the fragile are, in the end, the ones who pay, as always, the most dramatic price, so there is also an issue of unacceptable inequality." — Sandra Zampa **The role of the Constitutional Court and Parliament** "The perimeter drawn by the Constitutional Court with ruling 242, which introduced the right to medically assisted suicide in Italy, is a perimeter that moves in the wake of our Constitutional Charter." — Speaker 12 "It told the legislator to move because a law is needed to regulate medically assisted suicide, which I, the Constitutional Court, say is lawful—that is, not punishable—when a person is in certain conditions." — Alfredo Bazoli "Parliament, from the 90s onwards, and thus from the Englaro case onwards, has politically and systematically chosen to ignore a clear, sharp https://videos.polyfact.com/it-senato-126862-vod/manifest.m3u8 4638 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/20261110-1645-COMMITTEE-SEDE-vod 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/20261110-1645-COMMITTEE-SEDE-vod/20261110173104/1280.jpg Committee on Security and Defence Ordinary meeting Committee on Security and Defence meeting on European Peace Facility and Japan The European Peace Facility (EPF) is a unique, off-budget instrument with a financial ceiling of 17 billion euros for 2021 to 2027. While the institution has called for an end to the deadlock over Ukraine assistance, recent progress includes eight Council decisions to unblock 4.7 billion euros for reimbursement and discussions on 1 billion euros for new procurement. Altogether, Ukraine has received more than 10 billion euros in equipment support through the EPF. Beyond Ukraine, the EPF focuses on the EU's closest neighborhood, including the Western Balkans and the Mediterranean. Moldova has received 317 million euros to strengthen defense capabilities, though the delivery of air defense equipment still takes time. In Lebanon, support is limited to non-lethal equipment for armed forces units in the south. All assistance measures require the unanimous agreement of the 27 member states, who contribute according to their GNI. A debriefing on the mission to Japan highlighted the country's real defense transformation and its strategic choice to become a security provider. Japan shares the assessment that security in Europe and the Indo-Pacific is indivisible, citing the strategic alignment between China, Russia, and North Korea. While Japan remains dependent on US equipment, it is developing the Global Combat Air Programme with the UK and Italy without US participation. To strengthen the partnership, speakers emphasized the need for practical infrastructure, including a security of information agreement to allow the exchange of classified specifications. Currently, interoperability must be built case by case as Japan largely follows its own standards rather than NATO standards. There is also a call for greater access for Japan to European defense instruments. • « The European Peace Facility is a unique, off-budget instrument, with a financial ceiling of 17 billion for 2021 to 2027, is an important tool for the EU presence and influence all https://videos.polyfact.com/20261110-1645-COMMITTEE-SEDE-vod/manifest.m3u8 5284 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/091e3514-901f-418c-8000-32f39f8b01d1-vod 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/091e3514-901f-418c-8000-32f39f8b01d1-vod/20261110171612/1280.jpg Lords Grand Committee Lords Grand Committee Debate on Draft National Policy Statement for Fusion Energy Generation The Lords Grand Committee met to discuss the draft National Policy Statement for Fusion Energy Generation, EN-8. This document establishes a technology-neutral framework designed to support innovation in a rapidly developing field. A central tenet of the proposal is the distinction between fusion and nuclear fission; because fusion cannot create a runaway chain reaction and does not produce long-lived radioactive waste, it will not be subject to the same regulatory requirements or population density restrictions as fission power stations. While fusion is not expected to provide viable energy production until the 2040s, the government argues that the UK must put frameworks in place now to maintain its position as a global leader. The strategy aims to support over 10,000 jobs by 2030 and build on £2.5 billion in R&D. The Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP) project in Nottinghamshire serves as a pioneering example of this ambition, with a development consent application targeted for 2029. Participants raised concerns regarding the resourcing of the Environment Agency and the Health and Safety Executive to prevent administrative bottlenecks. Industry leaders warned that bureaucracy could become a primary obstacle if planning and consenting timelines are not streamlined. There were also calls for clarity on third-party radiological liability and long-term waste disposal responsibilities. The government indicated that the conventional insurance market is the most proportionate approach for fusion and committed to identifying a mechanism by autumn 2027 to ensure decommissioning costs are met by operators rather than the public. Environmental considerations were also addressed, particularly regarding the high cooling water requirements of fusion plants and the potential for colocation with other water-intensive industries like AI data centers. The government noted that while fusion infrastructure may use significant https://videos.polyfact.com/091e3514-901f-418c-8000-32f39f8b01d1-vod/manifest.m3u8 3692 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/20261110-1615-COMMITTEE-ITRE-vod 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/20261110-1615-COMMITTEE-ITRE-vod/20261110171620/1280.jpg Committee on Industry, Research and Energy Ordinary meeting Committee on Industry, Research and Energy Discussion on the Digital Network Act **Connectivity markets and investment incentives** « our connectivity markets are fragmented into 27, investment is lagging and our companies are too small to scale, and we depend on others for technologies that have become critical for our economy and our security » — Michał KOBOSKO « Also erstens glaube ich, dass das Wichtigste ist, dass wir hier ein Regelwerk schaffen mit dem Digital Networks Act, der Investitionen, Anreize für Investitionen in die Netze schafft » — Angelika NIEBLER « I strongly believe that the time to modernise access regulation is now.

It allows the EU to implement political objectives through military means, with all assistance measures requiring the agreement of 27 member states. While Ukraine has received more than 10 billion euro in equipment support, other assistance measures outside Ukraine total just over 1 billion euro. Recently, the Council unblocked 4.7 billion euro for reimbursement. Support for Moldova has focused on strengthening defense capabilities, moving from building radars to air defence due to airspace violations. In Lebanon, the EPF provides non-lethal equipment to armed forces units in the south. Assistance measures for Georgia have been discontinued, while a new measure for the Philippines was adopted this year. The facility also addresses maritime security and the threat of terrorism. Regarding global security, there is a consistent growth in Chinese military capabilities and North Korea troops are fighting alongside Russian forces in Ukraine. Japan is considering a massive increase in defense spending from 1% to 2% of GDP. While Japan remains dependent on US equipment, it is developing a sixth-generation fighter jointly with the UK and Italy without US participation. To strengthen the partnership with Japan, speakers noted the need for a security of information agreement to exchange classified specifications. There are also calls for greater access for Japan to European defense instruments, including SAFE, to provide the practical infrastructure for cooperation. • « The European Peace Facility is a unique, off-budget instrument, with a financial ceiling of 17 billion for 2021 to 2027, is an important tool for the EU presence and influence all around the world » (Christophe GOMART, 05:35) • « All together through the EPF, Ukraine received more than 10 billion euro of support in the equipment » (Dorota https://videos.polyfact.com/20261110-1645-COMMITTEE-SEDE-live/manifest.m3u8 5587 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/20261110-1630-COMMITTEE-DEVE-vod 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/20261110-1630-COMMITTEE-DEVE-vod/20261110173104/1280.jpg Committee on Development Ordinary meeting Committee on Development discusses global funding cuts to sexual and reproductive health **Global funding cuts and political pushback** « It's on Gender Equality Week, which we celebrate already for several years, and we'll discuss the impact of global funding cuts on sexual and reproductive health rights » — Robert BIEDROŃ « SRHR, sexual and reproductive health rights, are facing an acute crisis, driven by a mounting political pushback and an unprecedented retreat in global funding » — Birgit Van Hout « As you know, its Promoting Human Flourishing strategy policy expands the scope of the so-called global gag rule and introduce restriction on activities that the US government classify as gender ideology » — Claire Ley « Since February of this year, when the US policy came into effect, some organization have stopped reporting gender-related indicators to the humanitarian architecture for fear of losing funding » — Claire Ley « the gender backlash and the anti-gender movement is quite connected, well-funded, and it's also where we need to coordinate better to be also more efficient in our work » — Claire Ley **Impact on women and local organisations** « In Afghanistan, programmatic reduction forced the closure of 279 life-saving service delivery points, leaving over 6 million of the most vulnerable women and girls without access to essential care » — Birgit Van Hout « When ODA declines, civil society and women's rights organisations are the first to lose funding, and the lasts to regain it.

In 2025, UNFPA received 14% less funding than in 2024, largely due to the abrupt termination of support from one government partner. Currently, the humanitarian response for lifesaving healthcare and gender-based violence services is only 32% funded, despite seeking $1 billion to reach 36 million people across 43 crisis-affected countries. The European Union remains a crucial donor, with the Commission stressing its commitment through initiatives like the SHIELD program, a 10 million euro humanitarian initiative for flexible funding. However, Robert Biedroń noted that EU member states have proposed cutting Global Europe funding by 16%. This occurs as local organizations in places like Venezuela face impossible situations due to new conditions attached to USAID and the expansion of the global gag rule. Parliament is currently considering amendments to the EU Gender Action Plan 4. Priorities include eradicating gender-based violence, protecting human rights defenders, and ensuring women have an active role in peace negotiations. While some members call for a minimum of 20% of actions to have gender equality as a principal objective, others have raised concerns about the transparency of previous spending or engaged in debates regarding the influence of religion on women's rights. • « SRHR, Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights, are facing an acute crisis, driven by a mounting political pushback and an unprecedented retreat in global funding » (Birgit Van Hout, 08:32) • « UNFPA is seeking $1 billion to deliver lifesaving healthcare and gender-based violence services to 36 million women, girls, and young people across 43 crisis-affected countries.

Hearing of Martin Briens on the budgetary resources of the Quai d'Orsay for 2027 The Secretary General of the Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs, Martin Briens, presents a 2027 budget marked by a sharp contraction. Between 2024 and 2027, the ministry's appropriations will decrease by 2.9 billion euros in commitment authorizations and 2.2 billion euros in payment credits. This reduction leads to an adjustment of the employment ceiling to 13,909 full-time equivalents, moving away from the initial objective of the States General of Diplomacy, which provided for the creation of 700 positions by 2027. Despite these cuts, the ministry is protecting certain sovereign priorities. The fight against information manipulation is receiving an additional 5 million euros to intensify strategic communication and win the battle of narratives. Investments are also increasing by 9% for the security of facilities abroad. In parallel, the Quai d'Orsay is maintaining its efforts on cybersecurity, being the second most targeted administration, and is regulating the use of artificial intelligence through a charter protecting sensitive data. Cultural and influence diplomacy is suffering a notable decline, with program 209 being cut by nearly 20% of its resources. Martin Briens acknowledges that the decrease in international contributions has a visible impact on France's rankings. For French citizens abroad, the priority for 2027 remains the organization of the presidential election, with a dedicated budget of 17.7 million euros, while continuing the digitization of documents and the fight against fraud. Finally, the ministry is deploying targeted initiatives on new threats and economic security. A ministerial conference on combating the shadow fleet is announced for December 4th, while judicial cooperation is accelerating with the extradition of 17 drug traffickers from the United Arab Emirates in 2025. The diplomatic strategy also integrates the securing of critical metal supplies and the control of risks linked to the most https://videos.polyfact.com/5995025_6af312ac7769f-vod/manifest.m3u8 5538 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/it-senato-126859-live 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/it-senato-126859-vod 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/it-senato-126859-vod/20261110174555/1280.jpg Seduta di Assemblea n. 474 Assembly no. 474: discussion on fuel decrees, car tax, and the profession of chartered accountant The Assembly discussed the conversion into law of Decree-Law no. 162 regarding economic support for fuel costs. The measures include the reduction of excise duty rates for diesel and biodiesel and the activation of the mobile excise duty to return excess revenue in the form of a discount at the pump. Some interventions criticize the effectiveness of the savings for families and micro-enterprises, noting an increase in the national single price of electricity. The provision provides for the exemption from the payment of the automobile tax, the so-called car tax, for the year 2027 for cars with power not exceeding 80 kW. This measure is defined as structural and definitive for the future. In parallel, 288 million euros are allocated for the refinancing of the State Supplementary Fund for university scholarships and 150 million euros in favor of the Milano-Cortina 2026 Foundation to ensure budget balance. The general discussion has begun on the delegation to the Government for the reform of the profession of chartered accountant and accounting expert. The stated objective is to update a twenty-year-old regulation, enhancing skills and encouraging access for young people, while avoiding overloading professionals with further tax obligations and responsibilities that could penalize small firms. Finally, the convocations for the election of ten members of the High Council of the Judiciary were communicated, and interventions were presented regarding the continuity of the functions of the ANAC and the promotion of Italian cinema in Australia through the Italian Film Festival. • « discussion of the bill: Conversion into law, with amendments, of the decree-law of 17 September 2026, no. 162, containing urgent provisions for economic support and the containment of the effects derived from the persistent increase in fuel costs » (Speaker 1, 04:01) • « provides for the year 27 the exemption from the payment of the automobile https://videos.polyfact.com/it-senato-126859-vod/manifest.m3u8 5865 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/19700576_6af3374b894bf-live 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/19700576_6af3374b894bf-live/20261110173122/1280.jpg Coût réel des aides sociales : Représentants de la Caisse centrale de la Mutualité sociale agricole 16h30 : – Audition, ouverte à la presse, de représentants de la Caisse centrale de la Mutualité sociale agricole : M.

Members emphasized that Horizon Europe must be firewalled against other programs to avoid becoming a piggy bank for different policy areas. The proposal seeks to clarify the competitiveness of a fund where the Commission suggested €235 billion, while advocating for a more autonomous European Research Council and European Innovation Council. Regarding digital infrastructure, the debate centered on the Digital Networks Act and spectrum management. Proposals include spectrum licenses without time limits or with long durations to incentivize investment, though some members expressed concern that unlimited licenses could lock in the mobile market. There is a strong push to modernize access regulation, moving away from copper rules to support fiber networks, while ensuring digital sovereignty and resilience against non-European suppliers. On nuclear policy, the Committee reviewed the Euratom program and the expansion of support for fission research. While the ECR group expressed support for the text's pro-nuclear content, they noted an intention to abstain due to their exclusion from the list of signatories. The compromise aims to increase the budget for indirect research in fission while maintaining a strong fusion budget. Telecom market regulation remains a point of contention, particularly regarding the conciliation mechanism between telecom operators and big tech companies. Some members oppose making this mechanism compulsory, fearing it could reintroduce fair share principles that might burden consumers. Others highlighted the need for better cross-border connectivity and the protection of end-user rights, including data protection and net neutrality. • « The compromise has three clear demands: an independent FP10 with €200 billion; a pillar 2 which is own https://videos.polyfact.com/20261110-1615-COMMITTEE-ITRE-live/manifest.m3u8 7100 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/19700275_6af334cf5dba1-live 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/19700275_6af334cf5dba1-live/20261110163053/1280.jpg Commission des affaires culturelles : Mme Nadia Bellaoui, présidente de l’Agence du service civique - Audition de Mme Nadia Bellaoui, présidente de l’Agence du service civique - Désignation d’un rapporteur sur la proposition de loi visant à instaurer un plan décennal de rénovation du bâti scolaire (n° 3358) https://videos.polyfact.com/19700275_6af334cf5dba1-live/manifest.m3u8 3854 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/19700275_6af334cf5dba1-vod 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/19700275_6af334cf5dba1-vod/20261110164628/1280.jpg Commission des affaires culturelles : Mme Nadia Bellaoui, présidente de l’Agence du service civique Hearing of the Civic Service Agency at the Committee on Cultural Affairs The Civic Service Agency is facing a critical budgetary situation. Between the budget voted for 2025 and the projections for 2027, a decrease of nearly 100 million euros is mentioned, leading to the elimination of 15,000 missions. Nadia Bellaoui expects a landing at 75,000 mission entries in 2026, compared to the 83,000 initially planned. This budgetary instability poses a risk of disengagement from host organizations, particularly non-profits. Despite these constraints, the program demonstrates real effectiveness in integration. Seven out of ten young people were without employment or training before their mission, and an identical proportion find employment or resume studies one year later. The civic service acts as a booster for access to employment for high school leavers, although the recognition of this experience on Parcoursup or Mon Master remains insufficient. To guarantee the integrity of the program, the Agency is strengthening its controls with a 26% increase planned between 2024 and 2025 and the opening of a reporting platform. These measures aim to prevent the risk of the volunteer becoming a mere adjustment variable to meet labor needs. At the same time, the civic service is adapting to crises with the possibility of temporary redeployments to emergency missions. • "Between the budget voted for 2025 and the one proposed to us for 2027, it is a decrease of nearly 100 million euros and the elimination of 15,000 missions" (Ms. Florence Herouin-Léautey, 40:45) • "And so the current projection that the Agency makes for the 2026 landing leads us more towards 75,000 mission entries than 83,000 mission entries" (Nadia Bellaoui, 29:01) • "7 out of 10 young people were without employment or training before entering the civic service and one year after their mission, 7 out of 10 have found a job or resumed studies" (Mr. Jean-Yves Bonnefoy, 43:30) • "The risks and challenges it faces are above all the risk of disengagement of host https://videos.polyfact.com/19700275_6af334cf5dba1-vod/manifest.m3u8 3928 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/19700256_6af3349ea682e-live 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/19700256_6af3349ea682e-live/20261110184510/1280.jpg Commission des affaires sociales : Renforcement de l’attractivité de l’épargne salariale ; Social Affairs Committee: employee savings, 'zero long-term unemployed' territories, and support for caregivers The Committee is examining a bill aimed at strengthening the attractiveness of employee savings. The text provides for an exceptional unlocking procedure, capped at 5,000 euros, for sums from profit-sharing and incentive schemes invested before January 1, 2026. While some see this as a lever for household purchasing power, others denounce a logic that replaces salary increases with bonuses and savings, at the risk of weakening the financing of Social Security. The debate also focuses on the sustainability and extension of the 'zero long-term unemployed territories' experiment. This mechanism is based on the principle that no one is unemployable and aims to transform unemployment into sustainable employment. The rapporteurs insist on adopting the text without modification to ensure its completion before the end of the experiment scheduled for December 31, despite discussions on the cost and financing by local authorities. Finally, the Committee addresses the recognition of active caregivers, who represent 4.5 million employees. The proposed measures include improving compensation for caregiver leave to 80% of net daily remuneration, creating a tax credit, and recognizing the status of 'caregiver worker.' The introduction of reasonable accommodations within companies is also being debated to better reconcile professional life and caring for a loved one. • "The Government has placed on the agenda for next Monday's session, at 4 p.m., the bill adopted by the Senate after the initiation of the accelerated procedure aimed at strengthening the attractiveness of employee savings and implementing an exceptional unlocking procedure" (Mr. Frédéric Valletoux, 18:02) • "'Zero long-term unemployed territories' aims to make this bill permanent, aims to make permanent and expand a mechanism that has demonstrated on the ground that it is possible to transform long-term unemployment into sustainable, useful, and chosen https://videos.polyfact.com/19700256_6af3349ea682e-live/manifest.m3u8 12405 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/19700256_6af3349ea682e-vod 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/19700256_6af3349ea682e-vod/20261110190109/1280.jpg Commission des affaires sociales : Renforcement de l’attractivité de l’épargne salariale ; Social Affairs Committee: employee savings, zero long-term unemployment territories, and active caregivers The committee is examining a bill aimed at strengthening the appeal of employee savings. The text provides for the possibility of exceptionally unlocking up to 5,000 euros from profit-sharing and incentive schemes for one year. While some see this as an essential tool for involving employees in company performance, others denounce it as an unequal mechanism that bypasses the issue of wage increases and impoverishes Social Security through exemptions. The debate then turns to the 'zero long-term unemployment territories' experiment. The project aims to incorporate this mechanism into common law to sustain employment-based enterprises (EBEs), which employ more than 4,000 people across 85 territories. The rapporteurs warn of the legislative urgency: without a law by January 1st, the funding for EBEs would lose its legal basis. However, concerns persist regarding the reduction in state funding and the possibility for departments to withdraw from financing. Finally, the deputies are studying the recognition of active caregivers, who account for more than 7 million French people. The bill introduces the innovative concept of 'caregiver worker' into the Labor Code and creates a dedicated chapter for family caregivers in the Code of Social Action and Families. Key measures include extending the family caregiver leave, better compensation increased to 80% of the net daily remuneration, and the creation of a tax credit for all caregivers. • "Concretely, this bill incorporates Zero Long-Term Unemployment Territories into common law by including it in the Labor Code" (Ms. Océane Godard, 01:02:30) • "Article 1 opens the possibility of unlocking, for a period of one year from the promulgation of the law, all or part of the sums from profit-sharing and incentive schemes invested before January 1, 2026" (Ms. Sylvie Bonnet, 22:33) • "We will also propose adopting an additional amendment, an additional article, excuse me, https://videos.polyfact.com/19700256_6af3349ea682e-vod/manifest.m3u8 12453 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/20261110-1600-COMMITTEE-ITRE-TRAN-vod 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/20261110-1600-COMMITTEE-ITRE-TRAN-vod/20261110161541/1280.jpg Committee on Industry, Research and Energy Joint committee procedure - ITRE and TRAN Committee on Committee on Industry, Research and Energy Joint committee procedure - ITRE and TRAN Committee on Transport and Tourism **CEF and European Infrastructure** « il meccanismo per collegare l'Europa, il CEF, finanzia lo sviluppo, il completamento delle reti transeuropee dei trasporti e dell'energia, che costituiscono la spina dorsale delle infrastrutture europee » — Matteo RICCI « mamy dobre, wyważone porozumienie i to porozumienie ma zapewnić obywatelom Europy niższe ceny energii, ma sprawić, że energia popłynie dokładnie tam, gdzie jest potrzebna » — Kamila GASIUK-PIHOWICZ « 85 favorevoli, 24 contrari, quindi la votazione il provvedimento è approvato » — Matteo RICCI « la decisione di avviare i negoziati sarà annunciata all'inizio della tornata successiva all'adozione odierna in commissione, ossia durante la seconda tornata plenaria di novembre » — Matteo RICCI **Competitiveness and Research Funding** « And we have a procedure for the voting, establishing the Europe European Competitiveness Fund, including the specific program for defense, research and innovative activities » — Elena DONAZZAN « And the decision to prioritize in this budget the question of competitiveness is of utmost importance for the future of Europe » — Christian EHLER « The Parliament cannot accept that this is sacrificed for political ambitions towards centralized industrial policy.

Members discussed the need for a binding European directive with scientifically based thresholds, while the Commission noted that work is underway to update the workplace directive to better protect workers from weather-related risks. Proposals include mandatory risk assessments, paid heat breaks, and the right to stop work without reprisals, though small and medium enterprises require support to implement these measures. Regarding internal matters, concerns were raised about the working conditions of Parliament drivers, catering, and crèche staff. Members debated sending a letter to demand a binding plan and a clear contact person for exchange. There are specific fears among drivers regarding outsourcing, leading to calls for the Parliament to evaluate internalizing services and engage in constructive dialogue with workers' representatives. Administrative decisions included the selection of six research topics for the annual programming and a follow-up letter to the Council regarding the funding of the European Child Guarantee. The committee also set a deadline of January 15th for amendments on the current legislative file, with a vote planned for May 2027. • « las temperaturas extremas ya no son episodios excepcionales, sino que es un riesgo ya estructural para la salud y la seguridad en el trabajo » (Alicia HOMS GINEL, 05:05) • « jeg glæder mig særlig over opfordringen til et bindende europæisk direktiv med videnskabeligt baserede tærskler for ekstreme temperaturer » (Per CLAUSEN, 09:35) • « The work on this act considers, among others, updating the workplace directive, including how to better protect workers from extreme temperature and other extreme weather-related risks » (Matthias Fritz, 13:09) • « les chauffeurs du Parlement, salariés du Parlement, craignent d'être externalisés.

Critics argue that jury trial is a cornerstone of liberty and protection against arbitrary power, while the government maintains the reform is necessary to ensure Crown Court time is prioritized for the most serious and complex cases. Concerns were raised regarding the use of Henry VIII powers to amend magistrate sentencing limits, with peers arguing that such changes to the liberty of the subject should require primary legislation. In the magistrates' courts, members highlighted a significant decline in the number of magistrates from over 29,000 in 2010 to 12,500 by 2022. The government aims to increase the magistracy to approximately 21,000 through national recruitment to handle increased caseloads. Peers also discussed the disparity in legal aid eligibility between magistrates' and Crown courts, noting that moving cases to the lower courts could result in more defendants going unrepresented in serious matters. The House also held a second reading for the Church Appointments (Repeal of Discriminatory Provision) Bill. This legislation removes historic legal barriers from 1829 and 1858 that prevent Roman Catholics or Jewish individuals from advising the sovereign on church appointments. Proponents argued that advising the sovereign is a constitutional responsibility of the Prime Minister rather than a spiritual function, and that the religion of the office holder should not determine their ability to discharge this duty. Earlier oral questions addressed health and environmental resilience. Baroness Merron noted that the NHS is receiving £190 million to manage winter pressures and £140 million for new urgent care schemes. Regarding climate change, the government confirmed plans for the fourth National https://videos.polyfact.com/7eea23d0-5749-42c7-852d-b5ed2e433ee5-vod/manifest.m3u8 25540 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/2766512f-b605-46e4-8cb4-13e06475249f-vod 2026-11-11 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/2766512f-b605-46e4-8cb4-13e06475249f-vod/20261111150044/1280.jpg House of Commons House of Commons: Financial Services Reform, Foreign Interference, and School Mobile Phone Guidance The House of Commons debated the Financial Services and Markets Bill, which aims to modernise the sector and consolidate anti-money laundering supervision under the Financial Conduct Authority. While the opposition indicated they would not vote against the bill, they urged the government to go further by entirely removing ring-fencing between investment and retail banking, noting that the current system costs the sector £1.5 billion annually. Conversely, some members expressed concern that undermining these post-2008 protections could be risky during a global crisis. The government also confirmed plans to extend credit union membership reforms and ensure the defense sector is not denied financial services. Ministers faced urgent questions regarding reports that the People's Republic of China obtained personal data of sanctioned parliamentarians. The government highlighted a £600 million investment in intelligence services and the launch of a Political Interference and Espionage Action Plan. However, members criticised the lack of registrations on the Foreign Influence Registration Scheme and the fact that China is not on the scheme's enhanced tier. The Speaker noted he had not been briefed on the matter, leading to accusations that the government was treating the House with contempt. Education guidance was discussed, with a new policy for mobile-phone-free schools set to take effect in September 2027. The government is launching a consultation on safety certification for education technology to address risks such as harmful content and data privacy. Additionally, a social media ban is expected next year, alongside new guidance for parents on healthy screen time. In the justice sector, members raised alarms over a £2.8 billion maintenance backlog in prisons and the impact of organised gangs using drones to smuggle drugs into facilities. • « This includes launching the Political Interference and Espionage Action https://videos.polyfact.com/2766512f-b605-46e4-8cb4-13e06475249f-vod/manifest.m3u8 28380 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/0a34445f-8eed-4b83-bb45-2bc9fedbd427-vod 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/0a34445f-8eed-4b83-bb45-2bc9fedbd427-vod/20261110170055/1280.jpg Communications and Digital Committee Communications and Digital Committee Inquiry into Online Safety Act Implementation and Impact **Implementation and Platform Compliance** « We're holding two evidence sessions today as part of our inquiry into the Online Safety Act.

While the European Union has invested approximately 12% of its budget in education through DG INTPA, members expressed concern over proposed 14% cuts to the sub-Saharan Africa budget. Speakers emphasized that education is a long-term investment essential for stability and security, calling for the preservation of the 10% spending target for education and skills in the next European budget. National ownership and domestic resource mobilisation were identified as critical for long-term progress. In Senegal, the state guarantees the right to education while recognizing religious institutions as essential partners. Across Africa, the Catholic Church alone operates over 84,000 institutions serving 30 million children. However, sustainable progress depends on national governments prioritizing education in their budgets, improving tax administration, and combating corruption and illicit financial flows. The hearing also highlighted an acute crisis in sexual and reproductive health rights (SRHR) due to political pushback and funding retreats. The UNFPA reports that its humanitarian response is only 32% funded, leading to the closure of hundreds of service delivery points in places like Afghanistan. Despite these challenges, the EU remains committed to global health, having mobilized over 6 million euro under the NDICI instrument by the end of last year. • « Premièrement, préserver dans le prochain budget européen l'ambition de consacrer au moins 10 % des dépenses de développement à l'éducation, à la formation et aux compétences, en maintenant une place forte pour l'éducation de base » (Serigne Mbaye Thiam, 21:49) • « As you know, in the recent proposal of the Council, there are already 14% of the cuts on sub-Saharan Africa.

Piero Cipollone emphasized that a swift conclusion of trilogue negotiations is essential to strengthen Europe's autonomy in payments and avoid dependence on foreign providers. The project aims for a potential first issuance in 2029, while new physical banknotes are expected by the early 2030s. To protect small merchants, proposals include setting a fee cap at the European level and removing scheme fees. While some members expressed concern over the pressure on sellers to accept the digital euro, the ECB estimates that 80% of payment machines can be updated via software at a small marginal cost. The digital euro infrastructure is designed to be independent, potentially allowing transactions that do not rely on the US dollar system. Regarding the Banking Union, the European Parliament is working on an initiative report to reduce market fragmentation and remove barriers in the single market ahead of the 2027 banking package. Members highlighted the need to simplify bureaucratic burdens without undermining financial stability or prudential safeguards. The ECON committee also reviewed amendments to the ECB yearly report, reaffirming the bank's independence and its dual mandate of maintaining price stability and supporting general economic policies. Legislative progress continues with an open-ended trilogue planned for November 18th. The ECON committee has scheduled further votes on these reports for December 1st and January 14th. Additionally, the committee adopted a report by Damian Boeselager and discussed the implementation of the VAT reverse charge mechanism to combat fraud. • « A swift conclusion of the ongoing trilogue negotiation would pave the way for the adoption of the Single Currency Package by the end of the year, as foreseen in the One Europe, One Market roadmap » https://videos.polyfact.com/20261110-1500-COMMITTEE-ECON-vod/manifest.m3u8 9957 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/20261110-1500-COMMITTEE-SANT-vod 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/20261110-1500-COMMITTEE-SANT-vod/20261110174627/1280.jpg SANT – ICM on Lessons Learnt from the COVID-19 Pandemic: Strengthening EU Health Resilience and SANT – ICM on Lessons Learnt from the COVID-19 Pandemic: Strengthening EU Health Resilience and Preparedness for Future Global Health Crises **Strengthening Union health emergency architecture** « the first lessons learned was to strengthen the preparedness structures, but also strengthen the Union's health emergency architecture.

Between 550 and 650 acts remain to be incorporated annually, a situation that David McAllister warned could impact negotiations with other countries. Nicolas von Lingen noted that beyond the incorporation backlog, constitutional requirements in EFTA states can delay acts from entering into force even after they are incorporated. The agreement is described as a dynamic alignment mechanism essential for legal certainty across the internal market. Regarding foreign interference, members identified Russia and China as primary actors using hybrid tactics, including disinformation and cyberattacks, to challenge democracy and security. The European External Action Service is stepping up work on democratic resilience, while some members called for targeted sanctions to hold hostile states accountable. The latest enlargement package now includes a dedicated section on resilience, recognizing accession as an instrument of collective security. On Albania, the Commission highlighted that the country has met interim benchmarks on rule of law chapters, paving the way for provisional closures of negotiating chapters. While the specialized structure against organized crime and corruption, SPAK, has delivered results in high-level cases, concerns remain regarding political polarization and the proportionality of police action against protesters. The Committee emphasized that Albania should aim to conclude accession negotiations by the end of 2027, provided it achieves concrete results in judiciary independence and environmental protection. • « several hundreds of acts still remain to be incorporated. We fluctuate between 500 and six 550 and 650 acts each year that are in what we call the incorporation backlog » (Nicolas von Lingen, 07:59) • « And if we start allowing this big backlog to be created, it will have impacts on the https://videos.polyfact.com/20261110-1500-COMMITTEE-AFET-vod/manifest.m3u8 9143 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/76f0b61d-6ab7-4c49-8a0e-112fc8ab97a2-vod 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/76f0b61d-6ab7-4c49-8a0e-112fc8ab97a2-vod/20261110170104/1280.jpg International Agreements Committee International Agreements Committee: UK Trade Instruments and Economic Relations with China The UK faces a significant growth challenge and must tap into global sources, noting that China has accounted for roughly 30% of global growth over the last decade. While Germany has been China's partner for industrial development, the UK is positioned as a services superpower. Governments have begun scoping a possible services free trade agreement, which would be China's first such FTA with a major western economy. However, the trade deficit is widening, raising questions about increasing dependency. Witnesses emphasized a strategy of de-risking and diversification rather than decoupling, warning that cutting ties would damage UK industrial competitiveness. China has emerged as a technology superpower, ranking at or near number one in peer-reviewed research and scientific output. The current challenge for the UK is gaining access to Chinese technology in areas like AI and climate change, rather than China seeking access to the West. This may require negotiating FDI projects that allow for technology sharing. Structural issues persist regarding the rules-based international system, as the WTO was not designed for economies with such different macroeconomic models. Despite market distortions and state-subsidized finance, China appears to be positioning itself as a defender of WTO rules and has shown cooperation in Geneva. Domestically, the UK faces a lack of China expertise; while 150,000 Chinese students provide a major education export, the UK produces only about 260 Chinese language graduates annually, a figure unchanged for 40 years. • « the two governments have started scoping out a possible services free trade agreement between the UK and China, which, if it was if it was adopted, that would be the first services FTA that China has had with any other major western economy » (Intervenant 4, 04:27) • « And then, the answer should be de-risking and diversification rather than decoupling. If we decouple from China in https://videos.polyfact.com/76f0b61d-6ab7-4c49-8a0e-112fc8ab97a2-vod/manifest.m3u8 5028 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/20261110-1500-COMMITTEE-AFET-live 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/20261110-1500-COMMITTEE-AFET-live/20261110170136/1280.jpg Committee on Foreign Affairs Ordinary meeting Committee on Foreign Affairs meeting on EEA backlog, foreign interference, and Albania The Committee addressed a significant backlog in the incorporation of EU acts into the EEA Agreement, which currently fluctuates between 550 and 650 acts annually. This delay in dynamic alignment creates a lack of legal homogeneity and may provide competitive advantages to EFTA states. While Norway has announced an all-government approach to speed up processes, the European Parliament is urging the provisional application of acts to maintain the integrity of the internal market. Regarding foreign interference, members discussed a draft recommendation to counter threats in the EU neighborhood, specifically naming Russia and China as primary actors. The report identifies seven axes of response, including detection and the imposition of proportional consequences such as sanctions. Russia is noted to be escalating hybrid tactics in the region, necessitating a whole-of-society approach to build democratic resilience. On the Middle East, the committee reviewed a draft report on reconstruction as part of a comprehensive peace process. Discussions highlighted the need to move from aid-based models to investment and regional connectivity, while addressing the destabilizing influence of Iran. Proposals include a unified Palestinian governance framework for the return of the Palestinian Authority to Gaza and the potential for a neutral international transitional administration. Finally, the meeting examined the situation in Albania following the 'flamingo revolution' protests against corruption and environmental destruction. While the country has met benchmarks on rule of law chapters, concerns remain regarding political polarization and police brutality. The specialized anti-corruption structure, SPAK, has delivered results in high-level cases, but members stressed the need for Albania to align with environmental legislation and ensure free and fair elections. • « We fluctuate between 500 and six 550 and 650 acts each year that are in https://videos.polyfact.com/20261110-1500-COMMITTEE-AFET-live/manifest.m3u8 9389 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/20261110-1500-COMMITTEE-DEVE-live 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/20261110-1500-COMMITTEE-DEVE-live/20261110161603/1280.jpg Committee on Development Ordinary meeting HEARING Committee on Development Hearing on Education Financing and Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights The Committee on Development addressed the growing educational needs in sub-Saharan Africa, where the youth population is expected to double to over 830 million by 2050. While 56 partner countries have pledged $471 billion in national financing for education over the next five years, persistent financing gaps remain. DG INTPA has invested approximately 12% of its budget, or €4.6 billion, in education between 2021 and 2025, including a €100 million flagship initiative for teachers in Africa. However, speakers warned of proposed 14% cuts to sub-Saharan Africa funding and urged the preservation of the 10% spending target for education. In the area of sexual and reproductive health rights (SRHR), the UNFPA reported an acute crisis due to a retreat in global funding. The organization's humanitarian response is currently only 32% funded, and a 14% decline in funding for 2025 has already forced the closure of hundreds of service delivery points in Afghanistan. Despite these challenges, every euro invested in family planning is estimated to yield €59 in economic and social returns. Participants also emphasized the role of local and faith-based actors in education delivery. In Senegal, 95% of education spending is financed through national resources, including subsidies to religious institutions. Members of the committee highlighted that while external aid is constrained, supporting domestic revenue mobilization and local actors remains essential for sustainable development and community resilience. • « Premièrement, préserver dans le prochain budget européen l'ambition de consacrer au moins 10 % des dépenses de développement à l'éducation, à la formation et aux compétences en maintenant une place forte pour l'éducation de base » (Serigne Mbaye Thiam, 31:29) • « As you know, in the recent proposal of the Council, there are already 14% of the cuts on sub-Saharan Africa.

Piero Cipollone emphasized that a swift conclusion of trilogue negotiations is necessary to adopt the Single Currency Package by the end of the year. Delays are seen as a risk to strategic autonomy, as non-European players continue to gain market share. The digital euro is intended to function as a digital version of cash, inheriting legal tender status while coexisting with mandatory cash acceptance and resilient cash infrastructure. Regarding the practical application for merchants, the ECB proposes a cap on fees at the European level to favor small businesses by removing scheme and process fees. While there will be no limits on transaction amounts, the digital euro will use a unified framework to address market fragmentation. Some members expressed concern that if the digital euro does not offer clear value, pressure on merchants to accept it could create additional costs. Technical estimates suggest 80% of existing payment terminals can be updated via software to accept the new currency. On banking competitiveness, the committee discussed the regulatory burden, noting that the EU framework now exceeds 95,000 pages. While this has created more resilient banks, some members argued it places them at a competitive disadvantage. The debate also covered the ECB's mandate, with calls to consider secondary objectives such as the decarbonisation transition, employment, and the distributional impact of monetary policy on housing. The committee reaffirmed that maintaining price stability remains the primary objective, though the ECB is encouraged to support the general economic policies of the Union. • « The ECB continues working on its pilot project envisaged to kick off in the second half of 2027 and involving the industry to be ready for potential https://videos.polyfact.com/20261110-1500-COMMITTEE-ECON-live/manifest.m3u8 10476 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/20261110-1500-COMMITTEE-EMPL-live 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/20261110-1500-COMMITTEE-EMPL-live/20261110154616/1280.jpg Committee on Employment and Social Affairs Ordinary meeting EMPL Committee discusses extreme temperatures and workers' health and safety The EMPL Committee is considering a draft report on the effects of extreme temperatures in the workplace. Data shows that 33% of workers in the Union reported exposure to at least one climate change related risk factor. When temperatures exceed 30°C, accident risks increase by 5 to 7%, and productivity losses could cost approximately 17 billion euros per year by 2030. Despite these risks, most national systems do not currently record weather as a cause of occupational accidents or disease. Members are calling for binding minimum standards and EU-wide legislation to protect workers. Proposed measures include the right to stop work during extreme temperatures without financial cost, mandatory heat prevention plans, and scientific thresholds for heat exposure. The heaviest burden of these risks falls on low-wage, precarious, and migrant workers who may be afraid to report unsafe conditions. Some sectors, such as emergency services, require specific measures like recovery times and sufficient staffing as they cannot stop working during dangerous conditions. The European Commission is currently preparing a Quality Jobs Act, which may include updates to the workplace directive to address extreme weather risks. While some experts suggest a dedicated instrument on occupational heat, others note that social partners and national governments have previously struggled to agree on legal versus non-legal tools. The committee has set a deadline for amendments in January, with a vote planned for May 2027. • « This report therefore calls for binding minimum standards for protection against extreme temperatures at work and for a framework to identify risk factors in the European Union » (Maria OHISALO, 46:16) • « So, we saw, for example, that accident risk increases by 5 to 7% once temperatures pass 30°C and even more above 35 38°C.

Number two, the burden, as we see, is uneven » — Goda Skiotytė « The 2025 OSH Pulse survey of EU-OSHA showed that 33% of workers across the Union reported exposure to at least one climate change related risk factor at work » — Li ANDERSSON « We have just heard how heat waves pose one of the most prominent and impactful weather-related occupational hazards in Europe, and that even more moderate heat can significantly reduce labor productivity » — Li ANDERSSON « At the same time, in 2024, when there was the hottest summer on record in the Copernicus region Europe, we had three fatal work accidents at EU level reported to Eurostat concerning heat and sunstroke » — Matthias Fritz **Exposure and risks across different types of workers** « This is not to say, though, that it's only an all-outdoor problem. So indoor work, especially indoor manufacturing, as well as office workers in also others like schools and hospitals, also tend to be exposed increasingly, especially to heat, due to old buildings having not having proper ventilation or AC » — Goda Skiotytė « So, we saw, for example, that accident risk increases by 5 to 7% once temperatures pass 30 degrees Celsius and even more above 35 38 degrees. We also saw that productivity falls around, for example, 2 2.4% each degree, and put all together, productivity losses alone could cost around 17 billion euros per year by 2030 » — Goda Skiotytė « Una de cada cinco personas ocupadas trabaja en el sector de la https://videos.polyfact.com/20261110-1500-COMMITTEE-EMPL-vod/manifest.m3u8 5399 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/20261110-1500-COMMITTEE-SANT-live 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/20261110-1500-COMMITTEE-SANT-live/20261110180115/1280.jpg SANT – ICM on Lessons Learnt from the COVID-19 Pandemic: Strengthening EU Health Resilience and Interparliamentary Committee Meeting on EU Health Resilience and COVID-19 Pandemic Lessons Learnt The COVID-19 pandemic exposed critical vulnerabilities in health systems and tested the capacity for cross-border coordination. To strengthen EU health resilience, officials emphasize moving from reactive emergency responses to sustained investment in structural preparedness. The creation of HERA and the strengthening of the EMA and ECDC are cited as vital steps toward a strong European Union of Health, though experts warn that a false sense of security remains dangerous. Health system resilience is currently challenged by a shortage of healthcare professionals and the ongoing impact of non-COVID health issues. In Poland, for instance, over 20% of doctors were of retirement age during the pandemic. Furthermore, Long COVID is described as a silent pandemic with profound consequences for patients' professional lives and independence. Future preparedness requires securing critical supply chains for medicines and medical devices while maintaining 'ever-warm' manufacturing facilities within Europe. Public trust and the sharing of genetic data have weakened since 2020, hindered by organized no-vax movements and conspiracy theories. Disinformation campaigns, including those documented by the European External Action Service, have targeted Western vaccines. To counter these threats, speakers advocate for better communication with citizens and the use of artificial intelligence to accelerate diagnostics, while simultaneously setting guardrails against AI-enabled bio-threats. • « We really have to move away from reactive emergency response to sustained investment in structural preparedness. That's what we have done so far in the last 5 years, and I hope it pays off » (Florika Fink-Hooijer, 21:22) • « It exposed vulnerabilities in our health systems, tested our capacity to coordinate responses across borders and highlighted the importance of effective preparedness, timely decision-making and cooperation between European and https://videos.polyfact.com/20261110-1500-COMMITTEE-SANT-live/manifest.m3u8 13486 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/472b680b-3329-4f1d-b6a3-716198f625e4-live 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/472b680b-3329-4f1d-b6a3-716198f625e4-live/20261110161614/1280.jpg Foreign Affairs Committee Subject: Russia Witness(es): Vladimir Kara-Murza, Russian opposition politician, author and former political prisoner Witness(es): Gabrielius Landsbergis, former Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Lithuania; Marija Golubeva, former Minister of Internal Affairs of Latvia; Grégoire Roos, Director of the Europe, Russia and Eurasia Programmes, Chatham House https://videos.polyfact.com/472b680b-3329-4f1d-b6a3-716198f625e4-live/manifest.m3u8 7868 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/76f0b61d-6ab7-4c49-8a0e-112fc8ab97a2-live 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/76f0b61d-6ab7-4c49-8a0e-112fc8ab97a2-live/20261110154632/1280.jpg International Agreements Committee Subject: Trade in a turbulent world: how should the UK deploy its trade instruments?

They are often underdiagnosed, deeply affect quality of life, and generate high costs in terms of hospitalization, exacerbations, and loss of productivity » — Speaker 2 « In Italy, there are more than three and a half million patients suffering from this condition, almost 100,000 hospitalizations per year, one in three does not survive the year, but above all from the point of view of what are the perceived needs of a person » — Speaker 3 « When we talk about severe asthma, we are talking about a condition that affects a relatively limited portion of asthmatic patients, but which unfortunately is responsible for the majority of the clinical, care, and economic burden of this disease » — Speaker 5 « A patient with severe asthma has an economic cost for just, let's say, emergency room visits or hospital admissions of 5,300 euros per year. As for healthcare costs related to pharmaceutical spending, this is equal to approximately 19,500 euros per year » — Speaker 6 « Grandparents have a role in caring for grandchildren that is worth between 40 and 50 billion euros every year. Therefore, a truly very important impact, an impact that is not estimated today within our GDP » — Speaker 19 **Therapeutic and organizational innovation for patient care** « And this is precisely the ground on which we would like to develop our discussion, that is, to understand how to integrate therapeutic innovation and organizational innovation, how to overcome the fragmentation of care pathways, and also ensure continuous care centered on patient needs » — Speaker 2 « Innovative biological therapies for severe asthma, COPD, and nasal polyposis have been made available and reimbursed by the National Health Service.

The event recognizes the merit of professionals who have successfully combined tradition, such as in family tailoring and historic workshops, with innovative models and modern visions. The debate highlighted the central role of new technologies. Artificial intelligence was defined not as simple software, but as a strategic infrastructure that must be public, marking an epochal shift defined as the Neoevo. In parallel, the formal recognition of the role of social media and digital manager was emphasized for transparency between institutions and citizens. On the front of security and legality, representatives of the Municipal Police and the National Labor Inspectorate were awarded, reiterating the importance of community policing and worker protection. The speeches also touched on the sectors of healthcare, gastronomic culture, and music, understood as a tool for personal growth and educational responsibility towards future generations. In closing, the next edition of the award was announced for April 7th at the Sala Zuccari of Palazzo Giustiniani. Participants were urged not to stop dreaming and to constantly aim for growth, valuing the riches of local territories, from Naples to the Amalfi Coast. • « Why the Drago Award? The dragon in the community, in the vision of many peoples, is the guardian of values. So today you are the guardians of values, values of family, values of information, values of health, of entrepreneurship » (Speaker 2, 03:42) • « I would like to immediately invite Senator Franco Silvestro, president of the Bicameral Commission for Regional Affairs and promoter of this initiative at the Senate, for his greeting » (Speaker 1, 01:07:04) • « In this congress, the thesis was affirmed by ENIA that artificial intelligence is not simple software, it is https://videos.polyfact.com/it-senato-126856-vod/manifest.m3u8 10000 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/472b680b-3329-4f1d-b6a3-716198f625e4-vod 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/472b680b-3329-4f1d-b6a3-716198f625e4-vod/20261110170103/1280.jpg Foreign Affairs Committee Foreign Affairs Committee Inquiry into UK Strategy Towards Russia and Hybrid Warfare Vladimir Kara-Murza, a Russian opposition politician and former political prisoner, testified that Russia currently holds more political prisoners than the entire USSR did in the mid-1980s. He highlighted a clear linkage between domestic repression and foreign aggression, noting that at least 69 political prisoners have died in custody since the 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Kara-Murza expressed concern over recent decisions by Western countries, including Canada and France, to remove sanctions from key Kremlin acolytes, arguing that such measures should only be lifted if conditioned on public opposition to the war. Witnesses on the second panel discussed the challenges of Russian hybrid warfare, which they described as a tool used to avoid the threshold of state terrorism while increasing anxiety within European populations. They noted that Russia increasingly hires locals to carry out attacks, making attribution difficult. Experts suggested that NATO needs a framework for categorizing escalation and that governments should publish sufficient evidence for attribution to maintain public trust and counter the poisoning of large language models with conflicting narratives. Regarding the conflict in Ukraine, witnesses emphasized that Putin's strategy relies on the perceived inability of the West to sustain financial and military support. They argued that a long-term support plan, spanning three to five years, is necessary to change Putin's calculations. The committee also heard that any future ceasefire arrangement must include the release of all political prisoners and captives of the war. • « This is why we have more political prisoners in Russia today than there were in the whole of the USSR, which is 15 different countries put together, in the mid-1980s » (Intervenant 1, 07:24) • « there's always this very clear linkage in Russia between repression at home and aggression abroad, because a government that doesn't respect the rights https://videos.polyfact.com/472b680b-3329-4f1d-b6a3-716198f625e4-vod/manifest.m3u8 6555 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/20261110-1430-DELEGATION-DACP-vod 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/20261110-1430-DELEGATION-DACP-vod/20261110160202/1280.jpg OACPS-EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly - Women's Forum OACPS-EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly Women's Forum on Gender-Transformative Agrifood System Policies **Gender equality in agrifood system** « a very warm welcome to Brussels and the second editions of the Women's Forum, taking place as part of the OACPS-EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly, since the signing of the Samoa Agreement » — Ingeborg TER LAAK « it's a privilege to open this Women's Forum dedicated to the topic of gender-transformative policies in agrifood system, with the United Nations declaration of 2026 the International Year of the Woman Farmer » — Ingeborg TER LAAK « Though women feed the world, they are often the ones with the least access to land, credit, and technology they need to thrive » — Ingeborg TER LAAK « 76% of employed women work in this sector, often without adequate protection, social protection and employment protections » — Intervenant 12 « In the European Union, women only manage one-third of farms, which tend to be smaller than men's farms and generate lower levels of income » — Intervenant 12 « Now, a few gaps maybe that I still want to highlight, it's been mentioned already, but in terms of numbers because we were talking data, is that women farmers earn 82 cents for every dollar a men farmer earns » — Intervenant 18 « les femmes, les agricultrices sont au cœur des systèmes agroalimentaires, mais qu'elles restent confrontées à des inégalités profondes, ceci bien en bien plus dans les pays d'Afrique, des Caraïbes et du Pacifique qu'en Europe » — Intervenant 20 **Access to land credit and technology** « What happens in the field is profoundly shaped by what happens in policy: who owns the land, who can access finance, who benefits from agricultural investment » — Intervenant 8 « Our analysis in Ghana, for example, found that 60% of men had access to finance, compared with just 20% 26% of women.

Mr. Jean-Pierre Farandou mentioned a 5.3% increase in the minimum wage (Smic) by 2026, while Mr. Gaëtan Dussausaye denounced a 'minimum-wage-dependent' France. Regarding employment, Mr. Farandou noted a slight improvement in unemployment to 8.2%. Concerns were expressed regarding the suspension of the Heat Fund (Fonds Chaleur) and the water crisis in Guadeloupe. The cybersecurity section was marked by the public attribution to Iran of attacks against the retail sector. Mr. Roland Lescure emphasized the importance of making these threats real in the eyes of citizens. Regarding the legislative framework, the Government solemnly committed not to reintroduce Article 8 ter. Discussions also focused on the prohibition of 'backdoors' in encrypted messaging services to ensure the protection of communications. The issue of sanctions for local authorities sparked divisions. Ms. Anne Le Hénanff clarified the choice to exempt local authorities from administrative sanctions due to their financing capacities, although Mr. Philippe Latombe pointed out a risk of unconstitutionality linked to the difference in treatment compared to the private sector. Mr. Vincent Thiébaut recalled that only local authorities with more than 30,000 inhabitants are subject to the NIS 2 directive. Finally, the Assembly examined the oversight powers of the ANSSI and the coordination with the European DORA regulation for the financial sector. A notable amendment to the insurance code now provides that in the event of a cyberattack, it is up to the insurer to prove that a claim constitutes an act of war in order not to cover it. A solemn vote on the entire text is scheduled for Tuesday, November 17. • "We have identified and made public the fact that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran were responsible.

Jean-Pierre Farandou highlighted a 5.3% increase over the year 2026, amounting to 75 euros net, while opposition deputies deemed this 5-euro "boost" insufficient in the face of inflation. The Ecologist and Social group proposed a net minimum wage of 1,700 euros, a measure which, according to Mr. Farandou, would risk eliminating approximately 200,000 jobs. The debate on cybersecurity focused on Article 16 bis regarding encryption. The Government solemnly pledged not to introduce "backdoors" into messaging services, while securing the removal of the article, which was deemed too broad and risked compromising certain intelligence techniques. The Assembly adopted this removal by 69 votes to 37. Regarding infrastructure resilience, discussions focused on the obligations of local authorities. Only municipalities with more than 30,000 inhabitants are directly subject to the NIS 2 directive. Deputies debated the balance between financial sanctions and "name and shame" policies for elected officials, as well as compliance deadlines, now set between one and twelve months. Finally, the role of ANSSI was reaffirmed, particularly its power of injunction in the event of an imminent risk to the nation's interests. The text also provides for better coordination between ANSSI and CNIL audits to avoid double sanctions. A solemn vote on the entire bill is scheduled for Tuesday, November 17. • "First, the commitment is made by the Government, it had been indicated, I say it solemnly before the national representation, we will not reintroduce Article 8 ter and we will not support amendments that could be proposed in this framework" (Mr. Laurent Nunez, 01:58:23) • "Voters 107, votes cast 106, majority 54, for 69, against 37, the Assembly has adopted" (Ms. Marie-Agnès Poussier-Winsback, 02:18:36) • "Indeed, the SMIC, a boost to the SMIC, it's been a long time https://videos.polyfact.com/19699244_6af3201b84e20-vod/manifest.m3u8 16566 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/19702759_6af3611e0eef7-vod 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/19702759_6af3611e0eef7-vod/20261110184541/1280.jpg Questions au Gouvernement - Mardi 10 novembre 2026 Questions to the Government: wages, heat fund, and law enforcement security **Wages and Minimum Wage** "Next year, Macron's France could see more than 15% of workers on the minimum wage because low wages are now being caught up by that same minimum wage" — Mr. Gaëtan Dussausaye "Indeed, the minimum wage, a boost to the minimum wage, we haven't done that in a long time, it's been over 14 years. So this allows for a 5.3% increase in the minimum wage during 2026, a €75 net increase" — Mr. Jean-Pierre Farandou "The Ecologist and Social group advocates for a net minimum wage of €1,700 and indexing wages to inflation. We ask that business subsidies be conditional on wage increases" — Mr. Jérémie Iordanoff "Next, going higher, going higher, €1,700 net, statistical studies show it, that's about 200,000 jobs lost" — Mr. Jean-Pierre Farandou "We have equipped ourselves with a weapon: it is a decree that was published today in the Official Journal which will precisely condition the payment of general relief on verifying that the sectors have played the game and have effectively raised the collective minimums" — Mr. Jean-Pierre Farandou "Mr. Minister, this is a provocation. Perhaps the right you represent still lives in the wonderful land of 10-cent chocolate croissants, but here it is France after 10 years of Macron, and in this France, €9 on wages is not even 3 liters of gas" — Ms. Élise Leboucher **Heat Fund and Transition** "The government's decision to suspend with immediate effect the submission of new applications for the heat fund is causing deep misunderstanding and keen concern among local authorities and industry stakeholders" — Mr. Jean-Luc Fugit "So that is the reason why the government has made the choice to temporarily suspend the heat fund window, with the goal of being able to reopen it at the beginning of next year, in time to have a consultation with local authorities" — Mr. Mathieu Lefèvre "Bleeding in the budgets of mechanisms that allow for decarbonizing usage, a moratorium on renewable energies, https://videos.polyfact.com/19702759_6af3611e0eef7-vod/manifest.m3u8 4744 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/gr-vouli-2026-11-10-plenary-live-live 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/gr-vouli-2026-11-10-plenary-live-live/20261110211510/1280.jpg Ολομέλεια της Βουλής — Τρίτη 10 Νοεμβρίου 2026 Μόνη συζήτηση και ψήφιση επί της αρχής, των άρθρων και του συνόλου του σχεδίου νόμου: «Βελτίωση του σχεδιασμού της αγοράς ηλεκτρικής ενέργειας - Ενσωμάτωση της Οδηγίας (ΕΕ) 2024/1711 του Ευρωπαϊκού Κοινοβουλίου και του Συμβουλίου της 13ης Ιουνίου 2024 για την τροποποίηση των οδηγιών (ΕΕ) 2018/2001 και (ΕΕ) 2019/944 και λοιπές διατάξεις». https://videos.polyfact.com/gr-vouli-2026-11-10-plenary-live-live/manifest.m3u8 26808 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/20261110-1430-COMMITTEE-PECH-vod 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/20261110-1430-COMMITTEE-PECH-vod/20261110171620/1280.jpg Committee on Fisheries Ordinary meeting Committee on Fisheries meeting on cormorant management, Mediterranean blue economy, and socio-economic data **cormorant management and conflicts** « But before doing that, let me just recall that in the commission, we fully acknowledge that the increase in the European cormorants population over the recent decades has led, in certain regions and countries of the EU, to conflicts with some economic activities, such as fisheries, aquaculture, and sometimes recreational angling » — Vedran Nikolić « Kormorani uzrokuju ozbiljne štete ribarstvu i akvakulturi.

Between 2021 and 2025, DG INTPA invested approximately 4.6 billion euro, or 12% of its budget, in education. Speakers urged for the next EU budget to maintain an ambition of at least 10% for education and skills. While EU support is significant, it cannot replace domestic resources. National governments must take ownership by strengthening domestic resource mobilization, improving public financial management, and combating illicit financial flows. In the framework of the Global Partnership for Education, 56 partner countries have announced 471 billion dollars in national funding for the next five years. Education is also highlighted as essential for the success and sustainability of Global Gateway investments in human capital. A central point of discussion is the role of faith-based organisations and churches in providing quality education. The Catholic Church alone operates over 84,000 institutions in Africa, serving 30 million children. While some members urge for a formal dialogue with these actors to utilize their capacity, others expressed doubt about linking EU support to religious school bases. Additionally, the strategy emphasizes gender equality, aiming for a minimum of 50% girls' representation in schools supported by the Commission. • « Without mere strategic change is on our approach to supporting education, we are risking the collapse of partner countries' educational systems » (György HÖLVÉNYI, 03:42) • « And, dear colleagues, finally to keep the level of the education in Africa, yeah, different kind of dates are very clear, under 2035, we need plus 3 million teachers, plus 3 million https://videos.polyfact.com/20261110-1430-COMMITTEE-DEVE-vod/manifest.m3u8 4435 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/20261110-1430-COMMITTEE-ITRE-vod 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/20261110-1430-COMMITTEE-ITRE-vod/20261110160103/1280.jpg Committee on Industry, Research and Energy Ordinary meeting Committee on Industry, Research and Energy: Gender Equality and Made in Europe The European Commission reports persistent gender gaps in research and innovation, with women making up only 22% of researchers in the business sector and 26% of academic heads. However, the introduction of mandatory gender equality plans as an eligibility criterion has driven institutional change, leading to a massive increase in projects coordinated by women, rising from 8% under Horizon 2020 to 32% under Horizon Europe. There are also concerns regarding AI, as language models show clear bias against women, necessitating a monitoring framework to track the uptake and impact of AI in research. Discussions on the 'Made in Europe' initiative highlight the need to restore industrial capacity, which currently sits well below the 20% target. Experts suggest a policy mix to address competitiveness, including moderate Union origin requirements to induce supply chain changes while remaining technically feasible. While some see this as essential for sovereignty and preventing strategic dependencies—particularly regarding clean technologies and China—others warn against viewing it as a panacea, citing potential cost increases of at least 30% in public procurement. Regarding future funding, there is a strong call for an autonomous 10th framework program (FP10) to secure competitiveness and prevent research funds from being used as a 'piggy bank' for other policy areas. Recent achievements include securing a 150 billion euro European guarantee and reintroducing InvestEU. Members also proposed a dedicated compartment in the EIC Fund for women founders to ensure Europe invests more effectively in female-led deep tech companies. • « There are persistent gender gaps in research and innovation careers. And of course, some of the numbers are worrying, and they have hardly changed in a decade » (Joanna Drake, 04:45) • « We have 32% of projects coordinated by women, a massive increase from the meagre 8% under Horizon 2020 » (Joanna Drake, 09:02) • « The https://videos.polyfact.com/20261110-1430-COMMITTEE-ITRE-vod/manifest.m3u8 7807 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/20261110-1430-COMMITTEE-IMCO-vod 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/20261110-1430-COMMITTEE-IMCO-vod/20261110163208/1280.jpg Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection Ordinary meeting Internal Market Committee Meeting on Standardisation, Island Realities, and Political Advertising Transparency The Commission is proposing a roadmap to make the standardisation framework more efficient, aiming to reduce the average time for developing standards from six to four years. The proposal introduces flexibilities to make the system more responsive and allows the Commission to depart from international standards when they are considered ineffective or inappropriate. This shift is intended to create closer synergies between the internal market, trade, and industrial policies while ensuring standards remain freely accessible. Representatives from island regions and the outermost regions highlighted significant structural disadvantages, including high freight costs and limited economies of scale. In Malta, consumer prices are on average 30% higher due to transportation burdens. The Commission has adopted the first EU Strategy for Islands to establish a coordinated framework and is examining how state aid rules can account for these geographical realities. Members called for systematic island-proofing and impact assessments for all new EU legislation to ensure these regions participate in the single market on equal terms. Regarding professional mobility, the Commission presented a proposal to amend the 2005 directive on the digitalisation of procedures, which includes setting up a single mandatory EU digital channel and introducing digital qualifications. This package aims to shorten the lengthy procedures currently facing professionals, such as engineers, moving between member states. The proposal includes short deadlines and proportional penalties for member states that fail to meet them. Finally, the committee scrutinized the implementation of the regulation on transparency and targeting of political advertising. While the regulation bans third-country sponsors from providing ads three months before an election, more than half of the member states have yet to designate competent authorities.

In sub-Saharan Africa, the number of out-of-school children has exceeded 100 million, and learning poverty affects nearly 89% of children. To maintain education levels until 2035, the region requires an additional 3 million teachers. African partner countries currently finance the majority of their own education systems, with Senegal funding 95% of its education spending through national resources. Speakers emphasized the importance of domestic resource mobilisation, including the implementation of tax policies to combat illicit financial flows and corruption. There is a call to preserve the ambition of allocating at least 10% of development spending to education, training, and skills in the next budget. Gender equality remains a priority, with the Commission aiming for a minimum of 50% girls' representation in supported schools. Cooperation with local actors, including churches and faith-based organisations, was highlighted as a means to provide access to quality education. Education is viewed as essential to the success of the Global Gateway, focusing on strengthening national ecosystems rather than creating parallel structures. The deadline for amendments to the report is set for November 23rd. • « The sub-Saharan Africa number of the out-of-the-school children has reached more than 100 million, more than 100 million. Learning poverty is affecting near 89% of children » (György HÖLVÉNYI, 08:18) • « to keep the level of education in Africa - and different kind of dates are very clear - until 2035, we need plus 3 million teachers, plus 3 million teachers » (György HÖLVÉNYI, 11:11) • « Premièrement, préserver dans le prochain budget européen l'ambition de consacrer au moins 10 % des dépenses de développement à l'éducation, à la formation et aux compétences https://videos.polyfact.com/20261110-1430-COMMITTEE-DEVE-live/manifest.m3u8 4762 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/20261110-1430-COMMITTEE-IMCO-live 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/20261110-1430-COMMITTEE-IMCO-live/20261110164649/1280.jpg Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection Ordinary meeting Internal Market Committee Meeting on Standardization, Outermost Regions, and Political Advertising The Commission is proposing reforms to the European standardization system to address a loss of international competitiveness. Barbara Bonvissuto noted that the current process is too long compared to other regions. The goal is to reduce the average time for developing standards from six to four years while ensuring standards remain freely accessible. While international principles remain the bottom line, the Commission seeks the flexibility to derogate from international standards to defend strategic autonomy and resilience. Regarding the outermost regions and islands, speakers highlighted permanent structural disadvantages such as high transport costs and limited economies of scale. Clint Camilleri and others called for systematic 'island-proofing' in EU policy-making and impact assessments. The Commission recently presented an Outermost Regions Package, which includes a new strategy and a regulatory package to adapt competition, state aid, and taxation policies to local realities. For regulated professions, the Commission is setting up a single mandatory EU digital channel to facilitate cross-border recognition. This system will use AI tools to translate documents and pre-assess gaps between qualifications and national regulatory frameworks. Currently, around 22% of the labor market is represented by 5,700 regulated professions, yet there is no automatic recognition for roles like engineers due to differing member state regulations. Finally, the committee reviewed the regulation on the transparency of political advertising. While the regulation aims to prevent foreign interference and enhance transparency, several member states have yet to designate competent authorities. Despite the regulation being recently adopted, the Commission has already announced a review in its work program for next year. Some members expressed concern about reopening legislation before it has been properly implemented, while others https://videos.polyfact.com/20261110-1430-COMMITTEE-IMCO-live/manifest.m3u8 10637 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/20261110-1430-COMMITTEE-ITRE-live 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/20261110-1430-COMMITTEE-ITRE-live/20261110160144/1280.jpg Committee on Industry, Research and Energy Ordinary meeting ITRE Committee Meeting on Gender Equality, Made in Europe, and Horizon Europe The European Commission reported significant progress in gender equality within Horizon Europe, with projects coordinated by women increasing from 8% in Horizon 2020 to 32%. However, persistent gender gaps remain in research careers, and AI models have shown clear bias against women. To address these issues, an action plan on women in research and innovation will be presented by the end of 2024, and gender equality plans have become a mandatory eligibility criterion for institutions receiving public funding. Regarding industrial policy, a study on 'Made in Europe' evaluated mandatory procurement instruments. Experts suggest a configuration combining moderate union origin requirements with technical feasibility to maximize benefits for EU jobs and factories. While some members view this as essential for sovereignty and competitiveness against China, others warn of potential cost increases of at least 30% for public authorities and the risk of deindustrialization if competitiveness is lost. For the future tenth framework programme (FP10) covering 2028-34, the committee is demanding an independent budget of €200 billion. This proposal includes a pillar two led by experts and a stronger, more autonomous European Research Council (ERC) and European Innovation Council (EIC). Members emphasized that the program must remain independent and not serve as a 'piggy bank' for other policy areas. Finally, the committee reached a compromise on civil nuclear policies, advocating for a larger role for Parliament. The agreement expands support for nuclear fission research while maintaining a strong fusion budget. This position aims to support innovation across the entire nuclear field without discrimination between technologies. • « The compromise has three clear demands: an independent FP10 with 200 billion euros, a pillar two which is own expert-led by governance, autonomous, but tightly connected to the ECF, stronger, more autonomous ERC and EIC » https://videos.polyfact.com/20261110-1430-COMMITTEE-ITRE-live/manifest.m3u8 8125 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/20261110-1430-COMMITTEE-PECH-live 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/20261110-1430-COMMITTEE-PECH-live/20261110173144/1280.jpg Committee on Fisheries Ordinary meeting Committee on Fisheries Meeting on Cormorant Management, Mediterranean Plans, and Socio-Economic Data The European cormorant population has increased more than 20-fold to over 2 million birds, causing annual losses exceeding 350 million euros for pond aquaculture. While the European Parliament has requested a European management plan since 2008, the Commission notes it lacks delegated powers to add the species to the huntable list in Annex II of the Birds Directive. Member states currently manage the issue through derogations and lethal control, with 90,000 birds culled in 2023. In the Mediterranean, the fishing fleet faces significant pressure, with a 40% reduction in fishing effort between 2020 and 2024. The sector is struggling with aging fleets and rising costs for fuel and maintenance. Between 2014 and 2024, the European Union lost nearly 11,000 vessels, a 14% decrease. Employment in the sector also fell by 15% between 2017 and 2023, while the net profit margin for the European fleet stood at just 0.9% in 2024. There is a strong call to integrate socio-economic data more effectively into decision-making processes, such as when fixing quotas. Speakers highlighted a "greying fleet" where the number of fishers under 40 is declining. While the Commission maintains that it already collects and analyzes economic data on costs and employment, members argue for a clearer plan for harmonized indicators to ensure the sustainability of coastal communities and the future of the profession. • « the continental cormorant population has increased more than 20-fold and we have now over 2 million birds. So, the consequences are severe: pond aquaculture, which accounts for 90% of EU freshwater fish production, suffers annual losses exceeding 350 million euros » (Volker SCHNURRBUSCH, 40:02) • « Entre 2014 et 2024, l'Union européenne a perdu près de 11 000 navires de pêche, soit une diminution de près de 14 % de sa flotte.

This behavioral tax measure, with an estimated yield of 300 million euros, aims to encourage manufacturers to modify their recipes in response to a major health alert: 80% of children consume too much sugar. Artisanal and local products have been explicitly excluded from the scope of this tax. Debates also focused on Article 6, which modifies the social security regime for employment contract severance pay. The text plans to reduce the portion of severance pay exempt from social security contributions to a single annual social security ceiling (PASS), which is approximately 46,000 euros. Rapporteur Olivier Henno highlighted that 5% of conventional terminations account for 80% of the current system's cost. The expected yield from this simplification is 440 million euros, although criticisms have been raised regarding the impact on employees, who would bear 71% of the additional levies. The issue of the payroll tax was hotly debated, particularly its burden on public hospitals (4 billion euros per year) and nursing homes (EHPADs). Senators denounced the taxation of "time spent with our elders" and argued for a single rate of 4.25%. Finally, elected officials warned about the fragility of integration workshops and worksites (ACI), half of which are reportedly in a situation of extreme fragility due to the increase in employer costs. • "Who is in favor of this Article 8? Who is against? Who abstains? Article 8 is adopted" (Mr. Pierre Barros, 03:53:52) • "This article incorporates into the soda tax pre-packaged industrial products, excluding artisanal ones, containing at least 10g of sugar per 100g and at least one additive, as well as those containing synthetic sweeteners" (Ms. Anne Souyris, 02:10:56) • https://videos.polyfact.com/5995048_6af3142162bba-live/manifest.m3u8 14240 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/5995048_6af3142162bba-vod 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/5995048_6af3142162bba-vod/20261110173105/1280.jpg Séance publique du 10 novembre 2026 (après-midi) Senate: Discussion of the 2027 Social Security Financing Bill (PLFSS) The Senate voted to remove Article 5 of the PLFSS, which provided for the end of social security contribution exemptions for integration workshops and worksites (ACI). Senators warned about the fragility of these structures, emphasizing that the 15 million euro savings expected by the government was negligible compared to the risks posed to the return to employment and the budgets of local authorities. Debates also focused on the payroll tax affecting public hospitals and nursing homes (Ehpad). Amendments were proposed to remove the increased rates or apply a single rate of 4.25% in order to relieve the finances of these establishments. However, the cost of these measures is estimated at 4 billion euros, which would significantly degrade the bill's balance. Regarding severance pay, Article 6 provides for capping social security exemptions at one annual social security ceiling (PASS). While the government defends an equity measure targeting 5% of employees for a yield of 440 million euros, senators are concerned about the impact on senior employees and involuntary layoffs. Finally, the Senate adopted Article 8, which introduces a tax on agri-food products containing added sugars and additives. This behavioral taxation aims to fight obesity and encourage manufacturers to modify their recipes. Exclusions were voted on to preserve artisanal and local products, such as Montélimar nougat, in the face of risks of fiscal inequality. • "Well, they are adopted and Article 5 is removed" (Ms. Sylvie Vermeillet, 30:55) • "Who is for this Article 8? Who is against? Who abstains? Article 8 is adopted" (Mr. Pierre Barros, 03:39:21) • "The next three, where we have calculated it precisely, it is a cost of 4 billion euros. That means that on this amendment alone, we would degrade the balance at the end of our discussion of the PLFSS by more than 25% to 30%" (Mr. Olivier Henno, 43:37) • "We cannot afford to abandon the some 440 million euros of expected yield, https://videos.polyfact.com/5995048_6af3142162bba-vod/manifest.m3u8 13367 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/it-camera-32834-vod 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/it-senato-126847-live 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/it-senato-126847-live/20261110153154/1280.jpg Seguito indagine conoscitiva su impatto intelligenza artificiale nel settore della giustizia Seguito dell'indagine conoscitiva sull'impatto dell'intelligenza artificiale nel settore della giustizia: audizione del professor Giovanni Comandè, ordinario di diritto privato comparato presso la Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna https://videos.polyfact.com/it-senato-126847-live/manifest.m3u8 1340 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/it-senato-126847-vod 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/it-senato-126847-vod/20261110144539/1280.jpg Seguito indagine conoscitiva su impatto intelligenza artificiale nel settore della giustizia Fact-finding investigation on the impact of artificial intelligence in the justice sector Artificial intelligence in the justice sector carries the risk of rigidifying the law. Since models are based on dominant trends, a decision that deviates from the norm risks being treated as an outlier or a statistical error, making changes in jurisprudence unlikely. To counter this sclerosis, an evolutionary safeguard clause is proposed to protect minority viewpoints. Technically, 80% of the legal profession already uses AI tools, often generalist or non-professional models. There is concern regarding the use of unverified models, such as Copilot, even within the judiciary. It is necessary to define binding sovereignty criteria for infrastructure, ensuring data localization within the EU jurisdiction and the use of models that can be controlled at a national level. The absence of limits on the profiling of individual magistrates and on predictive analysis represents a further critical issue, with the risk of pressure to conform to the average. Furthermore, to ensure equality of arms, minimum standards and accessible infrastructure are needed so that the effectiveness of the defense does not depend on the economic resources of the law firm. Finally, a regulatory time gap is noted, with European obligations that will only come into force at the end of 2027. In addition to regulations, rigorous and continuous training for magistrates and professionals is considered essential, given the speed at which technological issues change. • « The first idea is essentially a risk, namely the risk that artificial intelligence could rigidify the law » (Speaker 2, 01:40) • « a sclerosis of the law, if research and drafts always start from a dominant orientation, changing jurisprudence becomes statistically unlikely » (Speaker 2, 04:11) • « We do not have a limit on the profiling of the magistrate, so there is a lack of a ban on predictive analysis on the individual judge or on groups and a corresponding ban also for private subjects » https://videos.polyfact.com/it-senato-126847-vod/manifest.m3u8 1136 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/it-senato-126850-live 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/it-senato-126850-live/20261110154706/1280.jpg Conferenza stampa: Diabete oggi: prospettive e sfide Diabete oggi: prospettive e sfide.

Clinical management is evolving from a purely glycemic approach to an integrated vision that considers the heart, kidneys, and metabolism as a single unit. This new perspective is supported by European programs such as the Safe Hearts Plan and JACARDI, which promote the early identification of cardiovascular risk. The sustainability of the National Health Service depends on the ability to invest in prevention, early diagnosis, and technological innovation, such as telemedicine and continuous glucose monitoring. Recent political decisions have facilitated access to therapies through the revision of distribution methods for anti-diabetic drugs in affiliated pharmacies and the update of Note 100, simplifying the care pathway for citizens. Strengthening local healthcare and continuity of care is considered fundamental to overcoming current regional disparities in access to treatment.

Indeed, they are no longer able to cope with the multiplication of difficulties, and among the main subjects of concern is the issue of volunteering" — Mr. Pierrick Courbon "The forms and methods of engagement are evolving significantly, especially among the younger generations, we will talk about this again, while responsibilities remain mostly assumed by senior volunteers whose overall engagement rate tends to decline" — Mr. Pierrick Courbon "It appears that there are between 12 and 15 million association volunteers in France and that the lockdowns decided in 2020 and 2021 during the health crisis had a major impact on senior volunteering" — Mr. Pierrick Courbon "Among the obstacles to engagement, there are obviously schedule constraints and the need to reconcile volunteering with one's family and professional life" — Mr. Pierrick Courbon "Heavy legal responsibilities also weigh on associations, which are sources of anxiety for current leaders and act as real deterrents for potential candidates" — Mr. Pierrick Courbon **Existing support mechanisms and promotion tools** "Regarding leave, the labor code provides for volunteer engagement leave, training leave for executives and facilitators, representation leave, and international solidarity leave" — Unknown speaker "It consists of a company making one of its employees available during their working hours for the benefit of works or organizations of general interest" — Unknown speaker "It allows any individual over 16 to serve the values of the Republic by participating on a voluntary and https://videos.polyfact.com/19699002_6af31b36c60c7-vod/manifest.m3u8 1877 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/it-senato-126841-live 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/it-senato-126841-live/20261110134542/1280.jpg Sistema agroalimentare dell'UE adeguato alle esigenze future Atto UE n.

Among the proposals that emerged, the need to introduce the right of recourse against the actual party responsible for violations of the regulations and to make individual coverage and adjustments mandatory during extraordinary works is highlighted. Regarding the role of the administrator, the establishment of a public national registry and national legislation to standardize professional training is proposed. The term of office should become biennial, eliminating tacit renewal. In the event of assembly inactivity, recourse to judicial authority is hypothesized to allow the administrator to act with the coverage of a court order. In terms of financial transparency, it is proposed to redefine the condominium statement of accounts by including a cash register, income statement, and financial summary. It is also suggested to make it mandatory to establish a special advance fund and dedicated bank accounts for major works. Finally, the possibility of making the role of condominium auditor mandatory is being evaluated to expand the assembly's powers in data management. • "In our opinion, there are two things that should be taken into consideration: on one hand, the merging of both, so no longer two separate bills, but a single bill that supersedes the two" (Speaker 1, 01:29) • "On the subject of the professionalization of administrators, referring back to what I said before, for example, we believe it is useful to provide for a public national registry" (Speaker 4, 05:05) • "National legislation will be needed to standardize the training of administrators because, in any case, they find themselves not only managing money but also managing work that has to do with the safety of systems" (Speaker 4, 05:05) • "We believe it is more important to provide for the obligation, because if there is no obligation, no one https://videos.polyfact.com/it-senato-126844-vod/manifest.m3u8 652 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/20261110-1430-COMMITTEE-LIBE-vod 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/20261110-1430-COMMITTEE-LIBE-vod/20261110163115/1280.jpg Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs Ordinary meeting JPSG Europol Scrutiny Session on Third Country Cooperation and Financial Crime **Cooperation with third countries** « We're now moving to the first of our two scrutiny sessions this afternoon on enhancing Europol's cooperation with third countries to fight serious and organized crime, including the collaboration between criminal networks and hybrid threat actors » — Charlie WEIMERS « First, the threat posed by organized crime, including the hybrid threats, then why cooperation with third countries is essential, how Europol makes that cooperation operational and why the legal framework, especially those allowing the exchange of personal data are critical to our success » — Jean-Philippe Lecouffe « The international reach of criminal networks requires an international response. Drug trafficking routes crossed over several continents.

Effective cooperation with third countries remains dependent on the secure and lawful exchange of personal data, requiring partners to reach the same level of data protection and fundamental rights as the European Union. While Europol supports member states from its headquarters, it also deploys guest officers to frontline locations like Malta to address migrant arrivals and smuggling pressures, particularly those originating from Türkiye and Libya. Financial and economic crime represents a significant challenge, with criminal activities generating an estimated 139 billion euros, of which only 2% is currently confiscated. To combat this, investment in asset recovery is a priority, and a specific article dedicated to asset recovery is included in the new proposal for the Europol regulation. The agency is also launching the EU Anti-Scam Platform and a new firearms hub to serve as the first real European database on firearms. Criminal organizations are rapidly adopting advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence and deepfake videos, to facilitate online fraud and money laundering. The use of cryptocurrencies and virtual IBANs complicates investigations, as money can move quickly across jurisdictions. Europol is working to bridge the 'velocity gap' between the speed of crime and the capacity of law enforcement by enhancing its data analysis capabilities and cooperating with private actors like crypto-exchanges and Tether. • « effective cooperation depends on one fundamental condition: the secure, lawful exchange of personal data with countries that reach the same level of data protection and protection of fundamental rights that we have » (Jean-Philippe Lecouffe, 11:52) • « Increasingly we also see links between organized crime and hybrid threat actors.

Tullio Ferrante specified that professional drivers already enjoy a double point system and that the revision is not punitive in nature but preventive, in line with the principle of maximum road safety protection. Antonino Iaria criticized the choice, defining it as harassment towards the category. Regarding the new breakwater in Genoa, the Ministry confirmed the dismissal of the European Public Prosecutor's Office proceedings due to the absence of concrete evidence supporting the alleged crimes. On the issue of bomb threats at airports, Ferrante recalled that preventive activities are the responsibility of the Ministry of the Interior, announcing a specific meeting with the European Commission for November 11. Finally, regarding line 1 of the Turin metro, the MIT stated that it does not have a new updated schedule, pending the definition of terms and conditions by the company Infra.To. It was reported that 70 million euros are missing for the completion of the work, a lack of resources that is causing a crisis for hundreds of commercial activities and difficulties in accessing hospital services in the construction area. • « a negative response is expressed regarding the formulated request to allow the driver to make a second attempt to pass the technical revision exam for the acceptance of the CQC » (Tullio Ferrante, 04:47) • « With specific reference to the definition of the timelines for the completion of line 1 of the Turin metro, it is stated that the MIT is aware of the financial needs put forward by the territories and at the moment does not have information regarding the new work schedule » (Tullio Ferrante, 29:37) • « As for the European Public Prosecutor's Office, the proceedings concluded in December 2025 with the dismissal requested https://videos.polyfact.com/it-camera-32827-vod/manifest.m3u8 1995 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/it-camera-32833-vod 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/it-camera-32833-vod/20261110133116/1280.jpg Repressione transnazionale: tra tutela dei diritti e sicurezza nazionale - conferenza stampa di Transnational repression: between rights protection and national security - press conference by Federica Onori **Hybrid threats and transnational repression** « It is a problem of territorial sovereignty, because it means allowing dynamics to take place on our sovereign territory that would otherwise not be observed » — Federica Onori « transnational repression within the framework of hybrid threats, because it obviously constitutes a form of foreign interference that can combine physical coercion, digital surveillance » — Speaker 2 « That is, transnational repression is one of the forms of hybrid warfare, it is one of the tools of hybrid warfare » — Filippo Sensi « This aspect of transnational repression that links the issue of rights protection and national security, I would place it in the historical framework we are going through, which I would try to describe as the time of the battle of words » — Speaker 9 « And if those subjects act in a repressive logic of control and watchful intelligence towards the diaspora, in this case Chinese, but there could be other cases, I believe that at this point we have a national security problem » — Speaker 9 **Tools for dissidents and activists** « the work that will actually be presented today, namely the guidelines, that is the tool that can be useful to a dissident person, to a critical voice of a regime who lives in our country » — Federica Onori « For the information ecosystem, and here I would also like to underline this dimension, which is often forgotten, it means hindering the activity of journalists, dissidents, activists and sources » — Speaker 2 « disinformation and defamation campaigns targeted against individual dissident activists are increasingly used to discredit them, to undermine their credibility and to isolate them from their support networks » — Speaker 2 « there is this issue that victims often do not trust to report.

American officials are expected to visit Germany this month to discuss the setting of European drug prices, an issue that has persisted for a long time. In response, EU countries have discussed establishing a task force to address this pressure. The European Commission emphasizes that the EU and the United States share a partnership based on extensive trade, investment, and research ties. It is considered important to maintain tariff-free and barrier-free trade in the pharmaceutical and life sciences sector. The Commission states that commitments from the EU-US joint statement in August must be respected, and the US should not impose additional tariffs on EU exports due to these investigations. There are calls from the Belgian government to consider using the anti-coercion instrument, referred to as the trade bazooka, to counter ongoing pressure. The concern is to ensure that European citizens and consumers do not end up paying a massive bill for potential rises in prices. • « Ah, there you are, thank you. So, as I think we have already had a chance to say, we have taken note of the US decision to initiate a Section 301 investigation concerning Germany's pharmaceutical pricing and reimbursement framework. The EU and the United States share a strong and long-standing partnership underpinned by extensive trade, investment, research, and innovation ties in the sciences and the pharmaceutical sector.

The report indicates that the European cybersecurity index is over 70% and a majority of member states are in a mature posture. However, a significant gap remains, particularly regarding legacy issues where the right capabilities and coordination are lacking. Elena Donazzan described the current situation as a hybrid war, noting that even household appliances like refrigerators can become attack cells. A growing skills gap is identified as a major concern, especially as AI agents enter the cybersecurity domain without enough experts to manage them. To address product security, the Cyber Resilience Act will be fully in force by December 2027, requiring manufacturers to integrate security-by-design and security-by-default concepts throughout a product's lifecycle. Entities in critical sectors under the NIS 2 directive are also obligated to take reasonable measures for their cybersecurity posture. Regarding incident response, ENISA clarifies that the power and obligation to manage incidents reside with member states. Once technical investigations are complete, decisions regarding sanctions following attribution are political. The agency emphasizes the importance of coordinated vulnerability disclosure and information-sharing communities, such as ISACs, to facilitate collaboration between national authorities, manufacturers, and service providers. • « We have a majority of member states in the mature posture which also says that the union as a whole, in average, is in the mature posture » (Intervenant 4, 06:19) • « the skills gap that is still growing and which in the context of the AI is worrisome because at the same time when AI agents are slowly entering into the cybersecurity domain, we do not have enough cybersecurity experts » (Intervenant 4, 07:08) • « the Cyber Resilience Act puts an obligation to https://videos.polyfact.com/20261110-1230-SPECIAL-PRESSER-vod/manifest.m3u8 3844 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/I-297553-vod 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/I-297553-vod/20261110120139/1280.jpg EC Midday press briefing of 10/11/2026 EC Midday briefing on Civil Protection Mechanism and humanitarian aid for Ukraine Nearly one and half billion euros in humanitarian assistance has been allocated since the beginning of the war. For this year, a 52 million euro top-up announced in September brings the total envelope to around 200 million euros. The Civil Protection Mechanism operates as an open channel of solidarity to deliver generators, transformers, and equipment for energy infrastructure. One entire energy power plant was dismantled to be delivered and used for assembling infrastructure in Ukraine. Commissioner Lahbib and Prime Minister Kubrakov discussed specific needs regarding urban centres, transport, and energy infrastructure. Further coordination is expected to target aid including bridge and railway infrastructure and equipment for public transport. The goal is to deliver the right aid to the right place at the right time based on a detailed assessment of what and where assistance is needed. The Civil Protection Mechanism includes 27 countries plus 10 participating member states. While Switzerland is not among these countries, the mechanism utilizes resources from these 37 states alongside rescEU strategic reserves. These reserves have previously provided thousands of generators and transformers to maintain heating and electricity. • « If I may speak about the humanitarian needs, we have already since the beginning of the war allocated nearly one and half billion of euros in humanitarian assistance. This year, we have announced the top up in September, it was 52 million, and it makes the whole envelope for this year reaching around 200 million of euros. Then we have the Civil Protection Mechanism on the other side.

Although the European framework of the European Democracy Shield is necessary, it is not considered sufficient to protect Italian national competencies regarding active electorate and the organization of consultations. Interferences are described as complex activities involving digital infrastructure and actors linked to states such as Russia and China. Large digital platforms are criticized for the use of algorithms that solicit polarized reactions and for their resistance to regulation. The debate highlights the need to counter structured disinformation campaigns and underground actions that pollute public debate through targeting and personalized messages. In 2025, 27% of information manipulation incidents involved content generated with artificial intelligence. The bill proposes a structure based on intentionality and transparency. Article 2 requires a link to foreign government organizations and does not sanction falsehood in itself. The measures provided include the labeling of political content generated by artificial intelligence and the establishment of committees of experts drawn from an AGCOM list to monitor platforms identified by decree of the President of the Council. The theme of the balance between preventing manipulation and protecting freedom of information, guaranteed by the Constitution, remains central. Some speakers emphasize that freedom of expression must not, however, cover activities organized by foreign governments to distort consensus. The need for more precise criteria to identify service companies subject to the obligations is also highlighted, criticizing the threshold of 1,000 followers as a starting point for monitoring. • « The title of Bill 1473 is: Establishment of a democratic shield in defense of constitutional freedoms and the integrity of the democratic https://videos.polyfact.com/it-senato-126835-vod/manifest.m3u8 2063 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/I-297546-vod 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/I-297546-vod/20261110130026/1280.jpg EC Midday press briefing of 10/11/2026 EC Midday briefing on Algerian troops in Niger and diplomatic relations **Déploiement de troupes algériennes et souveraineté** « Oui.

France has attributed responsibility for these attacks to Iran. The EU is prepared to provide a swift and united response, with the matter set for discussion at the upcoming Foreign Affairs Council. To address malicious behavior in cyberspace, the EU utilizes tools including the EU cyber diplomacy toolbox, the EU CyCLONe network, the Cyber Resilience Act, and the NIS 2 Directive. Restrictive measures under the EU cyber sanctions regime were previously adopted in March 2026 against the Iranian entity Emmenet Pasargad for targeting member states such as Sweden and France. Work is currently underway on additional cyber sanctions. The EU has already designated the IRGC as a terrorist organization and maintains sweeping sanctions against Iran regarding its nuclear programme, human rights violations, and interference with the freedom of navigation. • « Good afternoon, thank you.

So you're referring to the visit of President von der Leyen to the Black Sea region and more concretely, yesterday, the President was in Romania, today she is in Bulgaria. She just gave a press conference this morning, as she did yesterday, and indeed the Black Sea Maritime Security Hub was one of the key topics discussed with the respective leaders.

This goal requires a whole-system approach where electrification goes hand-in-hand with clean power, modern grids, storage, and energy efficiency. The Electrify Now initiative aims to bring governments, businesses, and finance together to turn these political ambitions into practical cooperation. Global turbulence and war have disrupted fossil fuel supplies, leading to rising energy prices for citizens. These challenges reinforce the shared direction to transition away from fossil fuels in a just, orderly, and equitable manner. To support this, the EU welcomes a global target on energy efficiency in buildings, focusing on insulation, efficient cooling, and heat pumps to lower bills and reduce dependencies. Regarding emissions, the EU remains committed to the Global Methane Pledge to reduce global methane emissions by at least 30% by 2030. Achieving this requires better measurements, faster detection and repair of leaks, and measurable reductions across the energy, agriculture, and waste sectors. The presidency's zero-waste agenda is noted as an important contribution to these methane reduction efforts. • « The EU therefore welcomes the priorities of the Turkish presidency, which can help us to carry this work forward. First, on electrification. To bring the presidency's 35 by 35 ambition within reach, electrification must go hand-in-hand with clean power, modern grids, storage, and energy efficiency. Globally, we must take this whole system approach, and we must build partnerships that enable every country to benefit. That is the purpose of Electrify Now, bringing governments, businesses, and finance together to turn political ambition into practical cooperation » (Intervenant 1, 01:32) • « So thank you so much for that.

These discussions, which also involve the United States, focus on establishing conditions for a durable peace. Participants emphasized that future arrangements must respect sovereignty, territorial integrity, and independent decision-making while providing credible security guarantees for Ukraine. The European Commission reaffirmed its commitment to a strong postwar European security framework, noting that a strong NATO remains central to Euro-Atlantic collective defense. While the current focus is on coordination between Ukraine, Europe, and the US, the process is expected to move toward broader multilateral discussions, though the timing for direct engagement with other parties remains to be seen. Regarding the specific shape of Ukraine and its borders, the EU maintains that any arrangements must respect territorial integrity. Officials stressed that the position of Ukraine is decisive on this topic. Further discussions on the peace process are expected at the leaders' level during an informal European Council meeting involving all 27 member states later this week. • « And the statement that you saw this morning concerns this second meeting.

Leaders of the 27 member states are expected to discuss this process at an informal European Council later this week. In the Black Sea region, President von der Leyen is visiting Romania and Bulgaria to develop a Maritime Security Hub. This hub, co-hosted by both nations, will operate across coastal and naval facilities with a joint working group tasked with creating a clear work plan and concrete deliverables.

Financial and regulatory updates include the approval of final RRF payments for Estonia and Luxembourg, totaling 190 million and 59 million euros respectively. The Commission also designated Reddit as a very large online platform under the Digital Services Act. Regarding the 2027 annual budget, ministers are meeting in Brussels to finalize the figures, while member states have until November 30 to apply for 21.3 billion euros in remaining funds.

Lord Hanson of Flint noted that these powers allow the Secretary of State to impose restrictions on individuals involved in terrorism-related activity when prosecution or deportation is not possible. Since 2011, 33 TPIMs have been imposed, and 16 subjects have been prosecuted for breaches since 2017. Baroness Merron introduced regulations under the Tobacco and Vapes Act 2026, establishing that from January 1, 2027, it will be an offence to sell tobacco to anyone born on or after January 1, 2009. Retailers may rely on physical identity documents or digital proof of age verified through the UK Digital Verification Service (DVS) trust framework. A nationwide communications campaign will launch to support public awareness of these changes. Regarding financial services, the Committee discussed amendments to support the adoption of stablecoins and the operation of the Digital Securities Sandbox (DSS). These measures aim to remove barriers to innovation ahead of the full cryptoasset regime in October 2027. The government also detailed the 'DIGIT' pilot, a digitally-native UK government debt instrument to be issued on distributed ledger technology. Finally, the Committee debated an order to confer immunities and privileges on the International Claims Commission for Ukraine.

Asked by Liberal member Steve Martin whether it was time-limited, she said: "Short answer is no, there's no timeline." The Legislative Council (Western Australia) was in committee of the whole house on Tuesday 10 November 2026, considering the bill. Martin said the interim arrangement could last for years with no reporting of the operational plan. Jarvis said the bill is "enabling legislation to do the buyback", and that if the government later chose a government trading enterprise (GTE), another bill would come before the House. Liberal member Steve Thomas said he supported the bill but warned of risks that the government's intent might not be delivered. ### ARTC receives A$2.5 million for buyback advice Jarvis said a A$2.5 million federal grant is for the Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC) to investigate bringing the rail freight network back into public hands. "That money is for ARTC to do that work and advise the state government," she said. Martin had asked about ARTC's role, saying it was mentioned in the bill debate and might become an owner of part of the network. ### Sale proceeds go to PTA, not automatically Treasury On clause 13, Jarvis said proceeds from a reorganisation go into the PTA's account and are not automatically transferred to Treasury.

Giulia Marchese highlights that only 40.4% of women who intended to have a child in 2016 actually had one within three years. Furthermore, knowledge about fertility is poor: only 5% of the population between 18 and 49 years old knows that female fertility declines after age 30. The phenomenon of social freezing, or elective oocyte cryopreservation, remains largely hidden. In 2023, only 802 cycles were reported by 72 out of 196 centers, as reporting is voluntary. There are significant regional disparities: in Sicily, only 9% of cycles take place in public or affiliated facilities, compared to 95% in Lombardy and Tuscany. To date, the true scale of the phenomenon is unknown. The proposals presented aim to improve national information flows by making the reporting of elective cryopreservation mandatory and completing the National Registry with fees and waiting times in open data format. It is suggested to collect the data only once using international interoperability standards, such as the electronic health record 2.0. Finally, the integration of the principles of transparency and human oversight from the European AI Act into public procurement specifications is proposed. On the legislative front, Fabio Porta mentions possible amendments to the budget law to introduce subsidies for women between 25 and 40 years old facing social issues. • « In 2025 in Italy, there were 355,772 births, as you surely already know, 3.8% less than the previous year.

Although the figure is improving, difficulties in understanding basic concepts persist. At the European level, the Eurobarometer highlights that only 18% of citizens have a full financial understanding, leading to the launch of a European strategy for financial literacy scheduled for September 2025. This strategy is based on four pillars: coordination between Member States, communication, funding of programs, and measurement of results. There is a direct link between money management and mental health. Debt stress and job insecurity affect psychological well-being, with depressive symptoms affecting 18% of those who have difficulty making ends meet. Persistent worry generates a cognitive overload known as rumination, which can compromise the ability to make healthy decisions, fueling a vicious cycle between economic difficulties and anxiety. To counter these dynamics, it is proposed to make financial education a curricular subject in schools, starting from primary school to also involve families. The goal is not to train high-finance experts, but to provide minimal knowledge for individual autonomy. Digital tools and platforms for young people can simplify access to bonuses and tax breaks, such as the nursery bonus or PNRR funds, which often record low uptake rates due to a lack of information. Strengthening the system requires a win-win dialogue between institutions and businesses. Greater financial awareness is considered a pillar of individual freedom and a defense against fraud. Investing in savings and in the training of students, professionals, and small businesses is considered fundamental for the country's growth, especially in a context characterized by a high average age and future challenges for the pension system. • « in September 2025, a real European strategy for financial literacy was launched to try to raise https://videos.polyfact.com/it-senato-126838-vod/manifest.m3u8 3748 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/50ef5963-87ea-4d34-afb1-08d69b0f855a-vod 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/50ef5963-87ea-4d34-afb1-08d69b0f855a-vod/20261110130034/1280.jpg Built Environment Committee Built Environment Committee Inquiry into Maintenance and Enforcement in Public Spaces **Impact of well-maintained public spaces** « what do you perceive to be the impacts of high quality, well-maintained public spaces versus those that perhaps are less so » — Intervenant 2 « If you're looking for someone to invest in your place, if you're looking for someone to come and visit your place, and if you're looking for people to take pride in their place, then it's very important for public spaces to represent that » — Intervenant 6 « the public realm, as it's called, when it's not looked after, kind of risks sending a signal to those people that this area isn't really cared for » — Intervenant 7 « there is a huge economic benefit to our retailers, our occupiers, and also visitors the area by well-thought-out, well-planned public space » — Intervenant 13 « actually, measure outcomes, not simply outputs.

Martin Jones, Chief Inspector of Probation, revealed that tags were fitted promptly in only 55% of classic cases, despite contract requirements for attempts within 48 hours. Witnesses highlighted a 'fetishization of technology' at the Ministry of Justice, noting that while electronic monitoring costs over £100 million annually, it cannot replace the work of probation officers in reducing reoffending. The Probation Service is currently described as being in crisis, with a 25% staffing gap and one in five officer positions vacant across the country. Experienced staff are leaving at high rates, leaving some offices where the most senior members have only one year of experience. This staffing deficit is compounded by the withdrawal of workload measurement tools and a 'chaotic' rollout of sentencing changes, leading to a motion of no confidence in HMPPS senior leadership by Napo. Communication between agencies remains a significant barrier, with probation and police services often relying on manual email exchanges to share risk information. Witnesses argued for the insourcing of monitoring contracts currently held by Serco to reduce duplication and improve accountability. There are concerns that the current system provides a false sense of security to victims, as probation staff do not work 24/7 and the system remains reactive rather than proactive. Governance of electronic monitoring is described as weak and complicated, with accountability for contracts sitting at the Ministry of Justice level rather than with the chief probation officer. While alcohol tagging shows a high compliance rate of 97%, the broader expansion of tagging is seen by some as a tool to justify early release schemes rather than a strategic intervention. Future improvements may include locating monitoring https://videos.polyfact.com/6b1c9fd0-47c6-4503-903e-6ed0ad8ab107-vod/manifest.m3u8 6831 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/20261110-1130-COMMITTEE-EMPL-vod 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/20261110-1130-COMMITTEE-EMPL-vod/20261110114551/1280.jpg Committee on Employment and Social Affairs Ordinary meeting Committee on Employment and Social Affairs exchange on Racial and Employment Equality Directives The Committee on Employment and Social Affairs held an exchange of views on the application of the Racial Equality Directive and the Employment Equality Directive. These directives protect individuals against discrimination based on religion, belief, disability, age, or sexual orientation throughout their working lives. While the adoption of the Equality Bodies Directive in 2024 strengthened national enforcement, many member states still lack avenues for collective redress and fail to use sanctions such as desegregation plans or compulsory training to prevent future discrimination. A persistent challenge is the lack of awareness regarding rights and remedies under EU non-discrimination law. Most people protected by these laws are unaware of their rights, and while court cases help develop anti-discrimination legislation, reaching citizens must primarily happen at the national level. There is also a noted lack of cooperation between national equality bodies and labor law inspectorates. Specific concerns were raised regarding the employment gap for people with disabilities and the need for an intersectional approach to monitoring these directives. Furthermore, the Commission is consulting social partners on sexual harassment in the workplace as part of the Job Quality Act, as current protections are deemed insufficient. The Commission is currently reviewing the transposition of directives communicated by member states, particularly concerning those with inadequate sanctions. • « There is a clear persistence of lack of awareness of rights and remedies under the EU non-discrimination law. What we see is that most people who are protected by the law are actually not aware of their rights under this law » (Intervenant 1, 04:54) • « The other thing that we also need to acknowledge is that many member states do not use sanctions to prevent future discrimination.

The initiative, which will be held from November 17 to 26 in Rome at the Vicolo Valdina complex, retraces the life, works, and militancy of an intellectual who anticipated central themes such as ecology, the environment, and the defense of cultural heritage. The speeches emphasize how Rauti offered a metapolitical vision capable of projecting the right outside of a capitalist and neoliberal enclosure, leading the Italian Social Movement towards a breakthrough on the left in factories and among the most vulnerable groups. His crucial role in avoiding the path of political violence and terrorism during the 'Years of Lead' through cultural deepening is remembered. Rauti's legacy is described as a cultural reservoir that is still relevant today, having influenced generations now represented in Brothers of Italy (Fratelli d'Italia). Initiatives for the centenary include the establishment of a fund at the National State Library with his personal library and the presentation of a volume collecting a selection of his parliamentary speeches. • « We are here to present Pino Rauti on the centenary of his birth: the Man, the Politician, the Intellectual, and the Ideas, the multimedia and documentary exhibition that will be held from November 17 to 26 in Rome at the Vicolo Valdina complex » (Speaker 3, 00:00) • « To Pino Rauti, we owe a sense of sociality that literally permeated the path of the Italian Social Movement.

Ето, това е причината за атаките » — Intervenant 5 « They clearly stated that these attacks are the result of an escalation of the military aggression of the war that Russia initiated against Ukraine » — Intervenant 1 **Support for Ukraine** « Ние, както виждате, разходваме сили и средства, материални и човешки, за гарантиране на здравето и живота на украинските граждани в море » — Intervenant 5 « Продължаваме да подкрепяме Украйна и с износ на електричество, продължаваме да я подкрепяме и с възстановяване на нейните работоспособността на нейните електрически централи » — Intervenant 5 « в никакъв случай България не блокира единните решения на Съюза и желанието на другите държави да помагат кой както може » — Intervenant 4 **Fact-based investigations** « Отново казвам, че ние базираме нашите претенции към трета страна на базата на факти, а не на предварителни така внушения » — Intervenant 5 « We are still continuing and working hard in order to be able to clearly state, supported by the facts, what the origin is » — Intervenant 1 « Unfortunately, I would like to say that we would prefer to stick to the facts and not to any preliminary presuppositions and expectations » — Intervenant 1 **Financial and social costs** « въпреки усилията и на Европейската комисия, и на българската държава, има социална цена за народите на Европейския съюз и за българския народ » — Intervenant 8 « Що се отнася до финансова подкрепа, ние самите сме в процедура по свръхдефицит и г-жа фон дер Лайен непрекъснато така ни подканя да влезем в рамките от 3 » — Intervenant 2 « These are always on every topic, intense discussions, because always 27 different member states https://videos.polyfact.com/I-297528-vod/manifest.m3u8 578 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/I-297527-vod 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/I-297527-vod/20261110103107/1280.jpg European Commission President Ursula von der LEYEN in Varna, Bulgaria European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on Black Sea security in Bulgaria Ursula von der Leyen states that Black Sea security is European security, noting an increase in incursions and attacks into Bulgaria and EU territory. Drones are sinking commercial ships and killing civilians, leading to skyrocketing insurance costs. She emphasizes that freedom of navigation in the Black Sea must be restored and preserved. The European Commission proposes close cooperation to track and debunk campaigns and offers dedicated funding. This includes 10 million euros for search and rescue and 50 million euros for the Black Sea Maritime Security Hub conducted by Bulgaria and Romania. Additionally, Bulgaria is set to benefit from 3.3 billion euros through the SAFE program for joint procurement. Bulgaria has helped secure south-eastern borders and its defence industry supports the defence posture and Ukraine. As the country approaches 20 years of accession to the European Union, von der Leyen notes that Bulgaria has made Europe stronger and safer. Future cooperation will include satellite imagery from Copernicus and a connectivity summit. • « I came with one clear message: Europe stands with Bulgaria in these testing times, because Black Sea security is European security » (Intervenant 5, 00:47) • « The main program for joint procurement is the SAFE program, and here Bulgaria is set to benefit from it by 3.3 billion euros » (Ursula von der Leyen, 06:00) • « we want to offer a dedicated funding of 50 million euros to this Black Sea Maritime Security Hub. We need it now » (Ursula von der Leyen, 10:30) • « Therefore, today we want to announce that 10 million euros are immediately applied supplied to the search and rescue of the Bulgarian authorities » (Ursula von der Leyen, 08:49) • « We have witnessed together this year, and specifically in the last month, an increase of incursions, threats, attacks into Bulgaria, that is, into EU territory » (Ursula von der Leyen, 01:21) https://videos.polyfact.com/I-297527-vod/manifest.m3u8 810 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/20261110-1030-COMMITTEE-DEVE-vod 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/20261110-1030-COMMITTEE-DEVE-vod/20261110214545/1280.jpg Committee on Development Ordinary meeting Committee on Development Meeting on Global Education, Child Poverty, and Gender Equality The committee addressed the critical role of EU development cooperation in combating child poverty and education gaps, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa. Members noted that the world remains far from achieving the goal of ending all forms of poverty by 2030. In education, the EU has invested approximately 4.6 billion euros between 2021 and 2025, yet speakers warned of a potential collapse in partner countries' education systems without strategic changes. There is a strong call to maintain the ambition of dedicating at least 10% of development spending to education and skills. Geopolitical instability and humanitarian crises are worsening in regions like the Horn of Africa, where over 37 million people face acute food insecurity and 20 million are displaced. In Bolivia, despite substantial EU assistance of 134 million euros for 2021-2027, a significant gap remains between the country's potential in raw materials and the conditions needed to realize it. The committee emphasized that EU support must address root causes such as conflict, climate shocks, and corruption while ensuring aid reaches beneficiaries directly with minimal administrative costs. Sexual and reproductive health rights (SRHR) are facing an acute crisis due to political pushback and global funding retreats. The UNFPA humanitarian response is currently only 32% funded, leading to service closures in places like Afghanistan. MEPs discussed the Gender Action Plan (GAP), advocating for a 85% target for gender equality as a significant objective in external actions. There is a push to increase direct funding to women's rights organizations to 25% of official development assistance and to ensure robust monitoring and accountability mechanisms for all gender-related spending. • « Wir sind daher nach wie vor weit davon entfernt, das erste Ziel für nachhaltige Entwicklung, SDG 1, zu erreichen, die weltweite Beendigung aller Formen von Armut bis 2030 » (Niels GEUKING, https://videos.polyfact.com/20261110-1030-COMMITTEE-DEVE-vod/manifest.m3u8 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/20261110-1030-COMMITTEE-DEVE-live 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/20261110-1030-COMMITTEE-DEVE-live/20261110211517/1280.jpg Committee on Development Ordinary meeting Committee on Development Meeting on Child Poverty, Education, and Sexual Health Rights The Committee on Development addressed the multidimensional nature of child poverty, emphasizing that the first 1,000 days of life are essential for development. Members called for an integrated approach that combines social protection, nutrition, and education. The European Commission reported reaching 7.2 million children to prevent stunting and committed 360 million euros to Gavi for 2026-2030. However, speakers warned that shrinking finance risks the collapse of education systems in partner countries, leading to radicalization and migration. Sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) are facing an acute crisis due to a retreat in global funding and political pushback. The UNFPA reported a 14% funding decline in 2025, leading to the closure of life-saving service points in places like Afghanistan. Members urged the EU to maintain SRHR as an explicit priority in external action, noting that every euro invested in family planning yields 59 euros in economic returns. There is a call to increase the share of new external actions with gender equality as a principal objective to 20%. A recent mission to Bolivia highlighted a significant shift following the 2025 elections, ending two decades of government by the Movement for Socialism. Bolivia remains the largest recipient of bilateral EU development assistance in South America. While the EU supports alternatives to coca cultivation, the mission noted challenges including institutional fragility, corruption, and the laundering of illegal money through legal gold channels. The EU aims to revamp bilateral relations and co-host a ministerial meeting in December. In the Horn of Africa, the region remains trapped in a cycle of insecurity and climate shocks. The EU provides approximately 430 million euros annually in humanitarian funding to the region. Speakers emphasized that breaking this cycle requires addressing structural drivers of fragility and investing in infrastructure. https://videos.polyfact.com/20261110-1030-COMMITTEE-DEVE-live/manifest.m3u8 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/it-camera-32824-live 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/it-camera-32824-live/20261110110127/1280.jpg Audizioni Commissione David Rossi Alle ore 10.30, presso l’aula del II piano di Palazzo San Macuto, la Commissione parlamentare di inchiesta sulla morte di David Rossi svolge le audizioni di Davide Zavattaro, già consulente tecnico della Procura della Repubblica di Siena e, in videoconferenza, di Adolfo Gregori e di Robbi Manghi, consulenti della Commissione. https://videos.polyfact.com/it-camera-32824-live/manifest.m3u8 1060 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/it-camera-32824-vod 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/it-camera-32824-vod/20261110130035/1280.jpg Audizioni Commissione David Rossi Alle ore 10.30, presso l’aula del II piano di Palazzo San Macuto, la Commissione parlamentare di inchiesta sulla morte di David Rossi ha svolto le audizioni di Davide Zavattaro, già consulente tecnico della Procura della Repubblica di Siena e, in videoconferenza, di Adolfo Gregori e di Robbi Manghi, consulenti della Commissione. https://videos.polyfact.com/it-camera-32824-vod/manifest.m3u8 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/I-297305-vod 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/I-297305-vod/20261110100054/1280.jpg European Commission President Ursula von der LEYEN in Varna, Bulgaria Bulgarian Prime Minister Rumen Radev and European Commission President in Varna **Security in the region** « Средата за сигурност се променя изключително бързо и това е особено осезаемо в региона на Черно море » — Intervenant 11 « За един месец тук загинаха повече моряци, отколкото за осем месеца в Ормузкия проток » — Intervenant 10 « Тези атаки са абсолютно недопустими.

She argues that Europe faces a choice between strengthening its own industry and sovereignty or accepting dependence by importing technologies developed elsewhere. To remain an economic power, she asserts that Europe must also become a technological power. The European Commission is advancing the Apply AI Strategy and plans for up to seven AI Gigafactories, which are expected to involve more than 30 billion in public-private investment. The EU aims to develop its own frontier AI capabilities to safeguard security and strategic interests. Virkkunen emphasizes that Europe must build and deploy AI in a way that is safe, trusted, and competitive. Private investment is identified as essential for turning innovation into industrial leadership. The Scale-up Europe Fund, launched in August, is highlighted as a step to help promising startups scale their businesses. Virkkunen also notes that Portugal contributes a dynamic digital ecosystem and strong scientific capacity to this European effort, supported by a clear commitment to reform. • « A choice about our competitiveness, and a choice about our sovereignty, and a choice about whether the next wave of innovation will strengthen our industry, modernize our public administration, improve our hospitals and schools, and create quality jobs for our citizens, or whether we will simply import technologies developed elsewhere and accept dependence » (Mme Henna VIRKKUNEN, 01:18) • « And we are also advancing plans for up to seven AI Gigafactories, with more than 30 billion investments in expected public-private investment » (Mme Henna VIRKKUNEN, 03:52) • « The EU must develop our own frontier AI capabilities, not least to help safeguard our security and strategic interest » (Mme Henna VIRKKUNEN, 03:52) • « In August, we launched https://videos.polyfact.com/I-297135-vod/manifest.m3u8 492 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/pt-parlamento-20261110-senado-0900-vod 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/pt-parlamento-20261110-senado-0900-vod/20261110120100/1280.jpg Audição com a Vice-Presidente Executiva da Comissão Europeia Hearing with Henna Virkkunen at the Portuguese Parliament on Technological Sovereignty, Security, and Democracy Europe faces the challenge of asserting its strategic autonomy and protecting its democratic values through technological sovereignty. To remain an economic power, the European Union must invest in its own technological capacity, with plans to build up to seven AI gigafactories through public and private investment. The Draghi report points to the need for an additional investment of approximately 800 billion euros per year to prevent Europe from falling behind. In the realm of security, cybersecurity is considered a critical part of global security. Recently, cyberattacks against supermarkets in Portugal served as a warning about the fragility of essential infrastructure. A cyber defense capability with rapid alert sharing between states is advocated, especially since AI can find vulnerabilities in a matter of hours. Technological sovereignty must be fair and reach all citizens, including the elderly and those with lower incomes. In the digital environment, it is proposed that the minimum age for opening a social media account be 15 years old, reinforcing parental control. Portugal assumes a relevant role in this European effort, not just as a client, but by helping to build technology and leveraging its strategic geographical position through submarine telecommunications cables. • « Europe has to invest now in our own technological capacity, because if Europe wants to remain an economic power, it must also be a technological power » (Speaker 3, 07:20) • « We are going to build up to seven AI gigafactories with public and private investments. Once adopted, the Cloud will complement these efforts, tripling AI capacity over the next seven years » (Speaker 3, 07:51) • « In 2024, we have all been talking about the Draghi report, which told us that Europe needed to invest about 800 billion euros more per year so as not to fall behind » (Eduardo Pinheiro, 29:24) • « Europe needs a true cyber defense https://videos.polyfact.com/pt-parlamento-20261110-senado-0900-vod/manifest.m3u8 3540 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/20261110-1000-SPECIAL-EUROSCOLA-vod 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/20261110-1000-SPECIAL-EUROSCOLA-vod/20261110123037/1280.jpg Euroscola Euroscola session at the European Parliament on zero pollution and gender equality The Euroscola session at the European Parliament in Strasbourg brought together 900 participants from 30 schools to discuss the EU's zero pollution ambition and the functioning of European democracy. Students stepped into the roles of elected representatives to explore how political groups are formed based on political affinity rather than nationality, requiring at least 23 members from seven different countries. Discussions on gender equality highlighted that women effectively stop being paid earlier in the year compared to men. Participants debated whether equality is about making everyone the same or ensuring equal access and chances, with some noting that true equality remains unachieved as long as men decide on women's bodies regarding abortion. Questor Andrey Kovatchev noted that the Parliament has implemented rules for gender equality in its elected bodies and allows remote voting for members on maternity leave. Regarding digital challenges, the session addressed the AI Act and the upcoming Kid Act. Kovatchev discussed the possibility of banning online anonymity to ensure profiles belong to physical persons rather than bots spreading disinformation, while maintaining the use of pseudonyms. Students expressed concerns about AI draining resources, its impact on the arts, and its potential use for mass surveillance by authoritarian regimes. On security, the war in Ukraine and the conflict in the Middle East were identified as major challenges affecting European competitiveness, energy prices, and housing. Kovatchev emphasized that peace should not be sought by giving up territories in Ukraine and called for critical thinking among the younger generation to combat fake news and radicalization. • « And you will discuss the crucial topic of today, for which you have already prepared yourself of course, the EU's zero pollution ambition, where do we stand today » (Intervenant 4, 01:36) • « It is always a pleasure to welcome the https://videos.polyfact.com/20261110-1000-SPECIAL-EUROSCOLA-vod/manifest.m3u8 11843 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/20261110-1000-SPECIAL-EUROSCOLA-live 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/it-camera-32820-live 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/it-camera-32820-live/20261110110129/1280.jpg Femminicidio, audizioni Presso l'Aula del I piano di Palazzo San Macuto, la Commissione parlamentare di inchiesta sul femminicidio, nonché su ogni forma di violenza di genere svolge le seguenti audizioni nell’ambito del filone d’inchiesta sulla vittimizzazione secondaria: ore 10 in videoconferenza, Vittoria Tola, membro del Coordinamento nazionale di UDI – Unione Donne in Italia, e di Rossella Mariuz, avvocata del Gruppo Giustizia di UDI; ore 10.30 Arianna Moccia e di Rossella Benedetti, avvocate dell’Ufficio legale di Differenza Donna; ore 11 in videoconferenza, di rappresentanti del Consiglio Nazionale dell’Ordine degli psicologi (CNOP), nell’ambito del filone di inchiesta sulla vittimizzazione secondaria ore 11.30 in videoconferenza, Giovanni Leoni, vicepresidente della Federazione nazionale degli ordini dei medici chirurghi e degli odontoiatri (FNOMCeO), nell’ambito dei filoni di inchiesta sulla vittimizzazione secondaria e sul rapporto tra violenza di genere e salute. https://videos.polyfact.com/it-camera-32820-live/manifest.m3u8 30 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/it-camera-32820-vod 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/it-camera-32820-vod/20261110113101/1280.jpg Femminicidio, audizioni Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry into Femicide: hearings on secondary victimization and health **Parental Alienation and Gardner's theories** « the National Council of the Order of Psychologists in the equal opportunities committee has finally released a document that I think is very important to demonstrate that the so-called parental alienation, which we have been suffering from for a long time, no, at least since the 80s, must be, how to say, addressed differently in proceedings concerning minors » — Speaker 1 « an absolutely wrong theory like Gardner's cannot be considered normal, given that it has already been condemned by all international organizations and has not been used in any country for more than 40 years, while it continues to be used in Italy » — Speaker 1 « it was quite impressive to see how the figures of social workers believed that Gardner's text could be a fundamental tool for evaluating the issue of children who did not want to accept relationships with violent parents » — Speaker 1 « Even today, often under other nomenclatures, the so-called parental alienation syndrome, PAS, is invoked, despite the Court of Cassation having repeatedly recognized the reference to it as illegitimate » — Speaker 17 « I would just like to ask, in light of the 2022 Cassation ruling that addressed parental alienation, whether the problem has gone out the door and come back in through the window, that is, whether in practice lawyers are instead encountering a use of alienation, but with terms such as hostile, conflictual, too loving » — Speaker 13 **Restorative justice and family mediation** « I had prepared one of the observations on restorative justice, which is the new frontier of practices, of very serious practices of secondary victimization.

According to the data presented, the purchasing power of salaries has suffered a net loss of 38.7% up to 2024. To counter this erosion, a programmatic increase of no less than 27% is requested, along with the allocation of at least 70% of new resources to base salary and pensionable allowances. The proposals include structural reforms of negotiation mechanisms, such as the establishment of a political and technical roundtable at the Presidency of the Council of Ministers within 30 days. It also requests the application of a 10% preferential tax rate for overtime and operational allowances, as well as a 50% increase for night and holiday shifts. The issue of the right to strike for police officers is also raised as a battle for civil rights. On the social security front, the immediate establishment of a supplementary pension fund is urged, along with action on the specificity of the sector, which must not remain an abstract concept. The representatives emphasize that investing in the dignity of police officers means investing in the safety of citizens, defined as the strongest guarantee of freedom.

The archaeological and coastal heritage represents a cultural wealth that institutions must safeguard and pass on to future generations. In this context, the candidacy of Ostia Antica for UNESCO World Heritage status was announced. The artistic evolution of Rome's sea spans the centuries, from the Renaissance to the vedutismo of the eighteenth century, up to the realism of the nineteenth century. Artists transformed the landscape from a simple theatrical backdrop into the main subject of the painting. The Grand Tour was the ancestor of modern cultural travel, an intellectual pilgrimage for young European aristocrats to Italy. The exhibition testifies to contemporary creative vitality with works ranging from abstraction to figuration. The canvases explore diverse themes: from the challenge of love for nature represented by a solo sail, to the silent dialogue between the fisherman and the sea, to images of migrants in search of a possible life among the waves. • « We cannot fully understand Rome without considering its very bond with the sea.

Speakers emphasized that strategic autonomy for the region means the capability to make independent choices and pursue local priorities rather than choosing between major powers. The European Union's inclusion in the Pacific Islands Forum's strategic partnership system was welcomed as a sign of a durable partnership grounded in equality and shared responsibilities. Climate change remains the single greatest threat to the security and well-being of Pacific peoples, with 70% of EU-Pacific cooperation projects now focused on resilience and adaptation. The Global Gateway strategy is being deployed to transition the EU from a development partner to an investment partner, utilizing a Team Europe approach to fund critical infrastructure such as water sectors, green energy, and digital connectivity. Participants highlighted the need for financing modalities that suit the specific circumstances of Pacific nations. While 97% of inbound capital currently comes from public sources, there is a push for more grant-based facilities for countries unable to take on debt. Effective partnerships must strengthen local capability and reinforce national institutions through predictable, multi-year programming rather than short-term, project-based financing that can fragment national priorities. • « The central question is how Pacific countries can preserve their freedom of action in an increasingly contested strategic environment. The Pacific should not be seen simply as an arena for competition between major powers, but as a region of nations with their own priorities and aspirations » (Gheorghe PIPEREA, 01:30) • « The Forum leaders have repeatedly described climate change as the single greatest threat to the security and well-being of Pacific people.

The reform aims to reinforce Europol's capacity as an information hub and support operational investigations, particularly regarding innovation and new technologies used by criminal organizations. Under the proposal, the agency would be able to access national asset registers directly and process data received from private parties for operational purposes without authorization from national judicial authorities. Concerns have been raised regarding the governance and democratic accountability of the agency. Some speakers argue the draft is too focused on the Commission at the expense of the European Parliament and national states, potentially weakening the influence of member states. There are also warnings about a proposed reduction in the negotiating box that would leave only 249 million euros of the original 1 billion euro proposal, which could create structural tension in Europol's mandate. Data protection remains a central point of debate. The proposal would widen data processing possibilities, allowing the processing of data on people with no verified link to a crime whenever it is deemed relevant and necessary. While the agency is moving toward an ex-post rather than ex-ante control logic for innovation developments, officials stress that member states remain the owners of the information they share. Europol must also now comply with the AI Act as it integrates AI-powered, data-driven policing tools. • « We should adapt the regulation in order to equip the agency with the capacity to face the new, somewhat more complex security environment without changing the nature of the agency » (Olivier Onidi, 02:04) • « first and foremost, reinforce the capacity of Europol to act as an information hub, which has been like really the essence of what the agency has been working on, but in a with a great effort to https://videos.polyfact.com/20261110-0930-COMMITTEE-LIBE-vod/manifest.m3u8 12822 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/20261110-0930-COMMITTEE-SANT-vod 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/20261110-0930-COMMITTEE-SANT-vod/20261110113147/1280.jpg Committee on Public Health Ordinary meeting Committee on Public Health Ordinary meeting **Advanced therapy medicinal product and transformative therapies** « In today's hearing, we will discuss whether the current EU policy and regulatory environment is fit for advanced therapy medicinal product and transformative therapies and identify structural bottleneck along the development to access pathway » — Adam JARUBAS « But, unfortunately, in phase 1, North America is fast and do six times more trials than we in Europe.

Data centres currently account for 2.5 to 3% of total electricity demand in the EU. The rating scheme covers Power Usage Effectiveness and includes nuclear and renewables as clean energy resources. While some members questioned why the scheme focuses on technical readiness rather than actual waste heat reuse, the Commission noted that actual reuse was excluded to avoid penalizing centres without offtake opportunities. ENISA reported on the Cybersecurity State of the Union, assessing the EU cybersecurity posture at 71.53 out of 100. While the policy framework is considered largely complete, the level of cyber threats remains substantial. A significant 315% increase in vulnerabilities has been linked to AI disruption. Furthermore, 27% of SMEs identified as critical under the NIS 2 Directive struggle to find resources for cybersecurity investments. ENISA also highlighted a growing gap in expertise and the risks posed by 'orphan libraries' in software. Regarding digital infrastructure, BEREC expressed concerns over a proposed centralized framework for numbering, arguing it adds administrative complexity. In the satellite sector, discussions focused on the 2 GHz band allocation as a market-shaping tool. With existing rights expiring in May 2027, the goal is to provide legal certainty for operators and investors while ensuring European players have a genuine chance to compete without entering a bidding war. • « And we say today, in 2026, the EU cybersecurity posture, from zero to 100, is 71.53.

It aims to address the challenges faced by working parents and caregivers, fostering a better balance between professional and personal responsibilities » — Li ANDERSSON « The strongest message that comes from our analysis is that non-transferable leave can substantially increase fathers' take uptake, particularly when it's well paid. And we see this in practice across several countries » — Vytautas Peciukonis « However, despite these positive developments in recent years, parental leave still remains quite unequally shared. Across the 15 member states for which recent comparable data is available, women account for around 74% of parental leave users or benefit recipients » — Vytautas Peciukonis « First, the payment. The directive leaves the level of parental leave pay to member states. Where pay is low or flat rate, fathers do not take leave, and it becomes a leave for the second earner, and in practice, the woman » — Isabelle Schömann « The evidence has long been clear: fathers take leave when it is well paid and leave it to mothers when it is not. Adequately paid has been read very differently across member states » — Maria OHISALO « an adequate level of compensation according to the directive is that the first earners, that is the second carers in a family, should be able to make use of their right to parental leave, and they can only do so if it is sufficiently well remunerated with a view to allowing for a decent living standard » — Caroline de la Porte « fathers' use of parental leave was around 1% before the reform. It rose to 7% in 2023, 17% in 2024, and 24% in 2025 » — Anna Kurowska **Implementation Challenges and Member States** « The transposition of the directive was very slow in the beginning.

While the directive represents a significant step toward an equitable society, its transposition was initially slow, with less than half of member states meeting the 2022 deadline. Implementation remains complex, particularly regarding the payment of parental leave, which is identified as a central difficulty. Research indicates that fathers' take-up of leave is heavily dependent on whether it is well-paid, as families often cannot afford the loss of household income when men are the high earners. Flexible work arrangements have improved work-life balance for some, but they also present risks. Data shows that being contacted outside of working hours is more common for those in flexible arrangements, leading to increased stress and unpaid overtime. Furthermore, workers often only have a right to request flexibility, which employers can refuse with little justification. There is also a significant gap in many member states between the end of paid parental leave and the availability of guaranteed childcare, which remains an essential condition for women returning to the labor market. The hearing also addressed the rights of carers and the broader fight against discrimination. Current provisions for carers' leave are often unpaid and insufficient for those caring for relatives with disabilities or dementia. Regarding equality directives, the Commission highlighted that workers who are primary caregivers for children with disabilities are protected from disadvantageous workplace rules. However, structural and algorithmic discrimination remains difficult to address through existing protections, and significant employment gaps persist for persons with disabilities across the Union. • « The transposition of the directive was very slow in the beginning.

The reform aims to reinforce Europol's role as an information hub and center of excellence for innovation, particularly in addressing criminal organizations that use new technologies. Key measures include the creation of an AI sandbox for testing solutions and the ability to access national asset registers to identify cross-border links between properties and bank accounts. Concerns were raised regarding the shift from ex-ante to ex-post impact assessments on fundamental rights, especially in the context of innovation. The European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) warned that the proposal dramatically widens data processing possibilities, potentially allowing the processing of data on individuals with no verified link to a crime. Furthermore, the proposal would allow Europol to process data received directly from private parties without authorization from a national judicial authority. Throughout the discussion, officials emphasized that member states remain the owners of the information they share. The regulation is intended to incentivize cooperation without substituting national competences or transforming Europol into a supranational police force. However, some representatives expressed concern over the proposed budget, noting that a potential reduction could leave only 249 million euros of the original 1 billion euro proposal, which may impact operational delivery. • « We should adapt the regulation in order to equip the agency with the capacity to face the new, somewhat more complex security environment without changing the nature of the agency » (Olivier Onidi, 05:51) • « This is where the democratic accountability of Europol becomes real, and this democratic accountability is extremely important when the justice and home affairs package presented by the Commission in June like lays the foundations for https://videos.polyfact.com/20261110-0930-COMMITTEE-LIBE-live/manifest.m3u8 13048 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/20261110-0930-COMMITTEE-PECH-live 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/20261110-0930-COMMITTEE-PECH-live/20261110124527/1280.jpg Committee on Fisheries Ordinary meeting Committee on Fisheries Meeting on Statistics, EFCA Oversight, and ICCAT Preparations **European statistics for fisheries and aquaculture** « C'est un rapport sur les négociations interinstitutionnelles qui concerne la proposition de règlement relatif aux statistiques européennes de la pêche et de l'aquaculture » — Isabelle LE CALLENNEC « ο στόχος μας παραμένει ξεκάθαρος: η δημιουργία ενός σύγχρονου, αξιόπιστου και αποτελεσματικού ευρωπαϊκού πλαισίου για τις στατιστικές της αλιείας και της υδατοκαλλιέργειας, το οποίο θα ανταποκρίνεται στις πραγματικές ανάγκες του κλάδου χωρίς να δημιουργηθεί και να δημιουργεί πρόσθετα διοικητικά βάρη » — Sakis ARNAOUTOGLOU « L'objectif est essentiel, éviter les doublons, harmoniser les données entre les États membres et améliorer leur qualité et leur accessibilité » — Isabelle LE CALLENNEC « nous devons veiller à ce que les données socio-économiques soient pleinement prises en compte afin de mieux mesurer les conséquences de nos politiques sur l'emploi, la compétitivité et l'ensemble de la chaîne de valeur » — Isabelle LE CALLENNEC « Nós, tal como outros grupos, solicitamos que os dados socioeconómicos e ambientais estejam disponíveis nas novas estatísticas acessíveis tanto aos decisores políticos como cidadãos » — Ana MIRANDA PAZ « Deve reduzir a burocracia, devem existir dados por sexos, porque não sempre, desgraçadamente, é assim.

But these homes are not immediately habitable" — Mr. Guillaume Chevrollier "To this end, with Françoise Gatel, we have proposed extending until 2032 schemes such as 'Petites Villes de demain' (Small Towns of Tomorrow), 'Villages d'avenir' (Villages of the Future), and of course 'Action cœur de ville' (City Heart Action), which have already enabled the renovation of 400,000 homes in small towns across our territory" — Mr. Vincent Jeanbrun **Health and care services** "The law of June 27, 2025, on the nursing profession marked a significant step forward for this profession, by recognizing the central role of the 640,000 nurses in our health system" — Mr. Pascal Martin "Within the scope of their own role, nurses can treat a patient without prior medical prescription.

Faced with 1.5 million elevator breakdowns annually, the Government plans to integrate their renovation into the multi-year plans of co-ownership associations. Regarding evictions, the minister refuses to implement a heatwave truce, arguing that it would weaken the enforcement of the law. The future of postal presence is worrying elected officials following a 44-million-euro cut in the State's endowment for 2026. Although the law requires the maintenance of 17,000 points of contact, the postal presence contract expires at the end of 2026. Negotiations have begun between La Poste, the State, and the Association of French Mayors to define the financial terms of the next contract. In terms of health, the announced closure of the Mont-Saint-Martin maternity ward, serving 120,000 inhabitants, is justified by the departure of the last obstetrician-gynecologist at the end of 2026. Furthermore, implementing decrees are still awaited for the accommodation of parents of hospitalized children and for the support of nurses resuming their activity after an interruption. Finally, the safety of elected officials remains a priority following racist insults targeting the mayor of Bonneuil-sur-Marne. The Government recalled the actions of the Center for Analysis and Fight against Attacks on Elected Officials (CAlAE). On the digital front, the risks of sexual predation and violent content on the Roblox platform are subject to increased vigilance. • "During the month of September alone, an average of nearly 28,000 people made a request for accommodation to the 115 each week, more than 8,000 of which concerned minors" (Mr. Vincent Jeanbrun, 03:22) • "The 2023-2025 postal presence contract was subject to an exceptional extension in 2026, a year for which the finance law indeed https://videos.polyfact.com/5994202_6af2cb11cc694-vod/manifest.m3u8 12375 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/it-senato-126820-live 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/it-senato-126820-live/20261110123051/1280.jpg Convegno: La luce della conoscenza per la salute e la cura La luce della conoscenza per la salute e la cura.

Senator Lucio Malan highlighted how both disciplines place the individual at the center of the care process. The Italian Hindu Union actively supports scientific research in this field, allocating funds from the 'eight per thousand' tax to investigate the interaction between oncological drugs, food, and phytotherapeutic products. The convergence between these systems is based on the personalization of care and the mapping of individual biological differences. The integration of modern genomics with India's millennial classification systems has given rise to Ayurgenomics, a framework that demonstrates real associations between genetic variants and Ayurvedic constitutional profiles. Experts propose the establishment of an institutional discussion table to define competencies and methods of cooperation between traditional medicine and the healthcare system. From a legal perspective, the use of Ayurvedic medicine in Italy is based on the right to therapeutic self-determination enshrined in Article 32 of the Constitution and the freedom of religious profession. However, jurisprudence clarifies that the patient cannot demand treatments contrary to the law or professional ethics, and the physician remains responsible for the veracity of the therapeutic indications provided. The event also celebrated the thirtieth anniversary of the founding of the Italian Hindu Union, emphasizing the importance of interreligious dialogue for social cohesion. Representatives of different faiths reiterated the value of selfless service, or seva, and the need to guarantee public spaces for religious practice, promoting a holistic vision of health that integrates the physical, mental, and spiritual dimensions of the human being. • « The convergence between precision https://videos.polyfact.com/it-senato-126820-vod/manifest.m3u8 12831 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/20261110-0915-SPECIAL-OTHER-vod 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/20261110-0915-SPECIAL-OTHER-vod/20261110121545/1280.jpg High-level debate on the EU long-term budget European Parliament Debate on Long-Term Budget and National and Regional Partnership Plans The European Parliament is currently debating a new structure for the long-term budget, centered on National and Regional Partnership Plans (NRPPs). These plans represent nearly half of the future budget and encompass policies including agriculture, fisheries, cohesion, and the European Social Fund. While the Commission proposes a simplification from hundreds of operational programs into single national plans, members of Parliament express concern that this architecture leads to a centralization of power in Brussels and national capitals, potentially diluting the territorial component of the Union. Parliament advocates for the full involvement of local and regional authorities in the design and implementation of these programs. Speakers highlighted the need for a subsidiarity clause to ensure that national governments involve the subnational level, suggesting that plans should be refused or payments frozen if local authorities are not taken on board. There is also a strong push to keep cohesion and the common agricultural policy ring-fenced with dedicated budgets to prevent them from being in competition with each other. Critical comparisons were drawn between the NRPP proposal and the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF). Some speakers noted that the RRF model, which the Commission favors, has faced negative feedback regarding its performance-based budgeting and the lack of a role for the European Parliament in approving plans. Concerns were also raised about significant funding cuts, with estimates suggesting a 20% reduction for agriculture and regional development, and a 40% decrease for social policy compared to the current social fund. As the responsible committees prepare to vote on the mandate for negotiations, the Parliament emphasizes that its support for the long-term budget cannot be taken for granted.

David Casa described the European Social Fund as the expression of the EU's social heart, noting its role in investing in workers and young people. Marit Maij emphasized that the fund must remain strong for people often overlooked in the multiannual financial framework. Several draft reports and questions for oral answers were adopted with varying majorities. A public hearing during the 2026 Gender Equality Week assessed the Work-Life Balance Directive seven years after its adoption. Li Andersson noted the directive is a step toward an equitable society, while Barbara Gerstenberger reported that work-life balance is improving slowly. However, data shows that being contacted outside of working hours is common among those with flexible arrangements, leading to negative effects on stress and mental strain. Additionally, while teleworking has increased by 14 percentage points since 2015, longer hours and overtime remain more common among men. Discussions highlighted significant gaps in parental leave, which remains unequally shared as women account for 74% of users. Vytautas Peciukonis and Isabelle Schömann noted that non-transferable, well-paid leave is essential to increase uptake among fathers. In many member states, a gap exists between the end of well-paid leave and guaranteed childcare. Lina Gálvez pointed out that 44% of EU citizens still believe a woman's primary role is home and family, contributing to higher rates of part-time work for women. Stakeholders expressed differing views on the future of the directive. Trine Hougaard, representing employers, supported the objective of increasing women's labor market participation but saw no need for a revision, citing concerns over administrative burdens for SMEs.

The data shows a strong association between early social media entry and heavy screen exposure, with 40% of teenagers reporting difficulty concentrating. A significant 63% of the public favors EU rules on age-based access to social media. The proposed Kids Act introduces a safety-by-design framework for users aged 0 to 18. Under this proposal, children below 13 would not be exposed to social media, while those aged 13 to 15 would have gradual exposure through limited 'mini accounts' under guardian supervision. The Act aims to disable toxic features like endless scrolling and autoplay for all minors, utilizing a privacy-preserving zero-knowledge proof system for age verification. Customs authorities report an unprecedented volume of low-value consignments entering the Union, creating significant pressure on the internal market. In 2025, Polish customs found that over 60% of market surveillance control actions involved goods that did not comply with European law. Notably, around 90% of non-compliant goods identified originated from China. The committee also adopted an opinion on the digital omnibus on data. While agreements were reached on supporting alternative data governance models and balancing trade secrets with data access, political groups failed to reach a consensus regarding the General Data Protection Regulation and the ePrivacy Directive. • « I think the key figure of everything I presented is the 63%, so 63% of European respondents, 63% of respondents want age-based access to social media » (Nicolas Le Poulenec De-Waroux, 19:15) • « Below 13, kids should not be exposed to social media.

The report also prioritizes stronger security and defense cooperation and deeper parliamentary dialogue. Regarding the Horn of Africa, members discussed a draft recommendation to the Council and Commission amid renewed violence in Ethiopia and a devastating war in Sudan. The region faces a convergence of crises, including armed conflicts, climate-related shocks, and the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war. There is an urgent call for an EU strategy for the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, treating both shores as a single strategic theatre. Concerns were raised about the collaboration between al-Shabaab and the Houthis on drone capabilities, and the proliferation of militias in Sudan. In the Black Sea, the committee addressed the impact of Russia's war of aggression, which has made the waters inhospitable and turned the area into a strategic frontline. Discussions focused on reinforcing the Black Sea Maritime Security Hub in Bulgaria and Romania to protect critical maritime and energy infrastructure. The Commission highlighted the connectivity agenda platform as the framework for implementing transport, energy, and digital projects in the region. • « the vote is closed, and this has been adopted, 46 in favour, 5 against, 7 abstentions, congratulations, Željana, for this report » (David MCALLISTER, 10:11) • « maritime security, for which we call for the urgent adoption of an European Union strategy for the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, treating the two shores as a single strategic theatre » (Marta TEMIDO, 20:14) • « the risk for al-Shabaab and the Houthis to collaborate even more, and we see that already, we see that both of them are helping each other financially, exchanging capabilities on drones and how to build drones » https://videos.polyfact.com/20261110-0900-COMMITTEE-AFET-live/manifest.m3u8 9128 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/20261110-0900-COMMITTEE-CONT-live 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/20261110-0900-COMMITTEE-CONT-live/20261110123058/1280.jpg Committee on Budgetary Control Ordinary meeting CONT Committee meeting European Parliament Committee on Budgetary Control meeting on 2025 discharge and administration The European Parliament's final budget for 2025 reached 2.53 billion euros, a 6% increase from 2024. DG PERS accounts for approximately 54% of this budget, with 94% of its allocation dedicated to salaries and allowances. Staff salaries saw a 3% increase in 2025 following the annual update method provided for in the Staff Regulations. At the end of the year, the institution employed around 10,800 people across the General Secretariat, political groups, and as APAs. Infrastructure management faced challenges from economic uncertainty, affecting the price of building materials, energy, and labor. The Sassoli building was completed and occupied in late 2025, while the connector project to the main building was postponed. Officials noted that energy efficiency objectives are being tested by changing climate conditions, specifically 40-degree temperatures in Brussels. Confidentiality remains in place regarding the Spaak project due to ongoing tender procedures. Financial oversight identified various anomalies and irregular expenditures. DG FINS conducted 16 recovery procedures for unduly paid sums totaling 5.3 million euros. Regarding political groups, the PfE group recorded a debt to the Parliament in its 2025 accounts for sums judged irregular, while the ID group is subject to a prosecutor's investigation involving searches. To reduce human error in recruitment, the administration is moving toward the digitalization of the APA recruitment system. In the technical domain, DG ITEC recorded 754 cybersecurity incidents in 2025, including two of high severity. The department is increasingly integrating AI for the detection of threats and automated patching, as manual intervention within 24 to 48 hours is no longer considered sufficient. Budgetary reinforcements were required to manage obsolescence, including the replacement of electronic voting systems in meeting rooms. • « le budget final du Parlement s'est élevé à 2,53 https://videos.polyfact.com/20261110-0900-COMMITTEE-CONT-live/manifest.m3u8 15245 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/20261110-0900-COMMITTEE-EMPL-live 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/20261110-0900-COMMITTEE-EMPL-live/20261110093049/1280.jpg Committee on Employment and Social Affairs Ordinary meeting Committee on Employment and Social Affairs: European Social Fund and Work-Life Balance Directive The Committee on Employment and Social Affairs addressed the future of the European Social Fund (ESF), with members advocating for it to remain a strong standalone program in the next Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF). Speakers described the ESF as the expression of the EU's social heart, essential for investing in workers, young people, and children in need. Several legislative items were adopted, including draft reports on national partnership plans and oral questions regarding the European Child Guarantee. A public hearing examined the impacts of the 2019 Work-Life Balance Directive. While the directive aims to create a more inclusive society, data shows that women still account for 74% to 95% of parental leave users. Analysis suggests that non-transferable leave, when well-paid, can substantially increase uptake among fathers. However, a significant gap remains in most Member States between the end of well-paid leave and the availability of a guaranteed childcare place. Stakeholders expressed differing views on the need for immediate revision. Employers support the directive's objectives for competitiveness but emphasize the need for rules to stay workable for SMEs, citing concerns over administrative burdens and legal uncertainty. Conversely, some members and labor representatives called for closing loopholes and strengthening the directive to address issues like flexible working rights, pay disparities, and the 'invisible labour' often performed by women. • « The text we have today keeps the ESF as a strong standalone program in the next MFF. It gives us a solid basis to fight for our European priorities with Council » (Intervenant 6, 15:51) • « The Work-Life Balance Directive, adopted in 2019, represents a significant step towards creating a more inclusive and equitable society. It aims to address the challenges faced by working parents and caregivers » (Li ANDERSSON, 33:37) • « The strongest message that https://videos.polyfact.com/20261110-0900-COMMITTEE-EMPL-live/manifest.m3u8 4059 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/20261110-0900-COMMITTEE-IMCO-live 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/20261110-0900-COMMITTEE-IMCO-live/20261110113140/1280.jpg Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection Ordinary meeting IMCO Committee Meeting on the Kids Act and Single Market Product Safety **Kids Act and Social Media Exposure** « So, what we see is that teenagers, on average, report 4.5 hours of screen consumption on a school day.

A project for a museum on war captivity after the Second World War, scheduled for 2028 in Fourcarville, is intended to serve as a place for research and European reconciliation. This project highlights the importance of conveying the history of the 11 million German prisoners of war while also recalling the crimes of the Wehrmacht. Regarding infrastructure, the deputies discussed strengthening the Northern rail corridor by 2040. A 110 km bottleneck between Mannheim and Saarbrücken currently penalizes users. The goal is to improve all connections, including high-speed trains and night trains, while seeking affordable fares. Operational cooperation was also addressed, particularly for firefighters. Legal obstacles related to driver's licenses and the asymmetry of vehicle tonnage thresholds are hindering cross-border assistance. The Assembly recommends harmonizing civil protection strategies, including joint risk analyses and joint exercises to anticipate disasters. Finally, the future of the Franco-German University was the subject of a call to guarantee its financial visibility. Faced with the decline in the number of students learning German in France and budget cuts in the humanities, the parliamentarians insist on the decisive role of this institution for research, innovation, and peace education. • "better visibility of the history of captivity, of German captivity, and the treatment of this theme are essential to keep alive a true culture of memory which is crucial for promoting reconciliation" (Roland Theis, 43:43) • "At the moment, however, this 110 km section, this bottleneck that exists between Mannheim and Saarbrücken, penalizes thousands of people who commute and students" (Agnes Conrad, 54:34) • "Different regulations regarding driver's licenses must not hinder this cooperation, and that is why we wish to https://videos.polyfact.com/19695457_6af2c171775f6-live/manifest.m3u8 7147 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/I-297101-vod 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/I-297101-vod/20261110070023/1280.jpg European Commission Executive Vice-President Raffaele FITTO in the Outermost Regions (French European Commission Executive Vice-President Fitto visits first BRT project in French Guyana **First BRT project and congestion issues** « And it's the first BRT project in Guyana.

It called for the immediate removal of Aboriginal Affairs Minister Don Punch from Cabinet over the Government's response to the crisis facing Aboriginal children in the Pilbara. The result was ayes 14, noes 37. Zempilas told the House the minister had taken 81 days to visit Hedland and said: "You have treated those children with contempt. You have treated that community with contempt. You should resign." Treasurer Rita Saffioti replied: "We again reject this motion that is put in front of us and support this Minister for Aboriginal Affairs." Punch did not speak in the debate. ### Premier backs Punch in Question Time Premier Roger Cook said in Question Time that the Aboriginal Affairs Minister had "the complete support of the government", when Zempilas asked how he could keep confidence in the minister. Asked by Zempilas why it took 81 days to visit Hedland, Punch said the child protection response sat with the Child Protection Minister: "Child protection is a part of that, but we have a Child Protection Minister who carries the responsibility for operationalizing that, for delivering the services." ### Premier announces A$7.5 million brick freight subsidy Premier Roger Cook announced up to A$7.5 million for a targeted freight subsidy program, answering a Government question on brick supply. He said: "This will bring 20 million bricks into WA." He said it was expected to save up to about A$5,000 for the average double-brick home, and that A$4 million had already been committed to restart the Cardup brickworks. ### Police report 122 arrests in facial recognition trial Police Minister Reece Whitby told the House the Western Australia Police Force's five-month live facial recognition trial ended on 31 October after 100 deployments.

The Legislative Council (Western Australia) was sitting on Tuesday 10 November 2026 and passed the second reading before moving into committee on the bill, which lets the state buy back the network and later reorganise it. Jarvis said "The government will not pursue 100% private equity ownership or lease the network back to Brookfield on different terms." Asked by Liberal member Steve Martin where the bill says that, she replied "it's not in the bill. It is a policy position of the government." Martin said "there is nothing in the bill to prevent 100% privatisation other than an apparent Labor policy." The bill was due to continue in committee when the sitting adjourned. ### Nationals back bill but demand scrutiny Nationals member Julie Freeman said her party supports the bill but not as a blank cheque. She said the bill leaves unanswered what will be bought, what it will cost and who will own it at the end. Freeman said "supporting this bill should not be confused with being comfortable with giving the government a blank cheque." Liberal member Steve Thomas said the government had delivered "a business case to nobody" after four years. ### Jarvis will not disclose price or business case Jarvis told the committee no price will be disclosed during negotiations with Brookfield. She said the price paid will be announced when a deal is done, if one is done. She told Martin the business case will not be made public, though there will be a public statement once a decision is reached. ### No target for trucks moved to rail Asked by Freeman how many heavy vehicle movements would shift to rail, Jarvis said she had no target. She said the outcome depends on who https://videos.polyfact.com/au-wa-950a8ae59bb347529dfe16261a3b5e0e-vod/manifest.m3u8 19223 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/au-parliament-5103378-c2-live 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/au-parliament-5103378-c2-live/20261110064525/1280.jpg Senate Economics References Committee - Adelaide, SA (part 2 of 2) Official Recording of Senate Committee Proceedings from the Australian Parliament https://videos.polyfact.com/au-parliament-5103378-c2-live/manifest.m3u8 8280 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/au-parliament-5103378-c2-vod 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/au-parliament-5103378-c2-vod/20261110100107/1280.jpg Senate Economics References Committee - Adelaide, SA (part 2 of 2) Housing researcher urges rent aid for public tenants ### Professor urges rent aid for public tenants Mark Stephens, adjunct professor at the Australian Centre for Housing Research at Adelaide University and professor at the University of Glasgow, recommended extending Commonwealth Rent Assistance (CRA) to public housing tenants. He told the Senate Economics References Committee, at its social housing inquiry hearing in Adelaide on Tuesday 10 November 2026, that he would "strongly recommend shifting towards a housing allowance system for public tenants in Australia on the same basis as their counterparts in the community sector." He said income-related rents undermine a landlord's ability to cover costs and raise finance, and that a housing allowance gives lenders confidence. Asked by Greens senator Barbara Pocock about cost, he said it would cost money and there are no cost-free solutions. Stephens also told the committee rebuilding the sector "will require public investment over a sustained period." He agreed to provide, on notice, lessons from the UK, Denmark and other countries. Committee chair Senator Kerrynne Liddle set a deadline of 24 November for answers. ### Researcher flags damp and mould in social homes Emma Baker, director of the Australian Centre for Housing Research at Adelaide University, said "at least 130,000 social rented households experience damp and mold". She said one in three roughly cannot keep comfortably cool in summer and one in four cannot keep warm in winter. She said social renters were less than half as likely as private renters to describe housing costs as unaffordable. She recommended judging social housing by outcomes and building on the Social Housing Energy Performance Initiative to cover damp and major defects. ### Architects seek national target and design conditions Sarah Gafforini, head of national council policy and advocacy at the Royal Australian Institute of Architects, said the institute supports a measurable national target.

The bill would replace industry codes and standards with a broad duty on online platforms to assess and mitigate risks, and the hearing took evidence on whether it is clear and enforceable. Pressed by Liberal senator Sarah Henderson on why the government had not fixed the gap, Inman Grant said: "But regulatory guidance is just that. It isn't enforceable." She said questions of policy choices were better put to the department. Inman Grant also said the bill is "not a scathing endorsement" but a step in the right direction. She said the parliament should settle contested definitions of harm in statute. Answers to questions on notice are due by Friday 13 November 2026. ### Privacy Commissioner wants age assurance safeguards Privacy Commissioner Carly Kind told the committee the bill needs specific privacy safeguards, because it has no clear direction on how the duty relates to privacy. She said the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner supports the duty's purpose. Kind asked for alignment with safeguards in the social media minimum age scheme, so age assurance does not lead to overcollection of personal information. In reply to Henderson she said age assurance posed the most pronounced privacy risk, and that restrictions on government identifiers and deletion of data should apply. She said it is ultimately a matter for government. ### Department defends broad duty and declines redrafting Questioned by Senator Henderson, Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications, Sport and the Arts official Clare Chapple said the department is not engaging on redrafting based on evidence from the two days of hearings.

The committee was hearing from him as Minister for Tourism and Events in its inquiry into 2025-26 annual reports. Asked by Liberal MLA Mark Parton where the government stood on a civic stadium, Barr said the Commonwealth would have to make the land available, and that the proposal involved a Catholic Church land sale. He said he was "yet to receive any formal ask for any ACT government funding". Barr said the stadium would have to move east to avoid the aquatic centre site, and that "where we sit now in November of 2026, they are all hypothetical questions". The transcript does not state a next step. ### Barr rules out ban on short-term rentals Barr told the committee the government is not proposing to ban short-term rentals, saying the current levy strikes "the right balance". Greens MLA Rebecca Vassarotti had asked about their effect on housing. An official said Canberra had 1,845 entire places in the year to December 2025 and 1,854 in the year to June 2026. Barr said the total market was well over 200,000 dwellings, so rentals were about 1%. ### Convention centre design to be retested Annie de la Rue, Executive Branch Manager, Strategic Infrastructure Coordination, told the committee a procurement for a business case and reference designs will take about 18 months. The tender has closed and a preferred tenderer is hoped for by the end of 2026. Independent MLA Thomas Emerson asked about size. De la Rue said the current concept is 10,000 to 12,000 square metres of exhibition space, three times the existing space, and that assumptions will be re-examined. ### Parton presses Barr on Lyric Theatre cost Parton asked Barr why the Lyric Theatre was described as costing A$317 million when the total was seemingly https://videos.polyfact.com/au-act-404eb88d2cc34138a967772d6f458924-29a59015564a4b3c921042ad0128bc19-vod/manifest.m3u8 13838 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/au-parliament-5120655-c1-live 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/au-parliament-5120655-c1-live/20261110014511/1280.jpg Hon.

He said the government announced in July it would legislate Australian AI standards, and that social licence for the technology had slipped elsewhere without guardrails. Albanese said the protections "will be regulated by a new targeted AI safety regulator who will be able to enforce significant penalties for AI companies doing the wrong thing". He listed six requirements, including security controls across development and deployment, rapid mandatory notification of incidents to the Australian Government, independent evaluation of models and published safety frameworks. He said the protections align with the interim report of the Joint Select Committee on Artificial Intelligence. ### Government accepts all 18 OpenAI review recommendations Albanese said the government released the recommendations of a rapid review into the OpenAI incident earlier this year and accepts all 18. He said they include mandatory company reporting of misaligned behaviour or cyber incidents and consideration of reforming criminal law in cases of serious misconduct. Albanese said: "We accept all of the recommendations, and we've commenced work to implement them." ### Burke says AI cut exploit time to ten hours Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke said AI finds vulnerabilities and changes the pathway to exploiting them. He said the timeline between finding a vulnerability and exploiting it was about two and a half years. Burke said: "With artificial intelligence, that's now down to about ten hours." He said laws must keep pace and that criminal law should be updated. ### Albanese says report will be released, no personal data taken Asked about the OpenAI review, Albanese said the report will be released with national security interests protected.

Asked by a committee member about a new dashboard, the CCC chair said it would not close the gap on police complaints. He said "The dashboard will only show those matters that have been sent to us, which comprise only a proportion of the total number of complaints that are made about police to police." He said a dedicated police integrity unit should receive and assess all police complaints, but that its creation is a government decision. ### CCC sees gap of 4,500 police complaints A committee member who sits for Nudgee tabled Queensland Police Service (QPS) complaint data. The CCC chair said he had not seen the figures presented that way and that CCC and QPS figures differ because of reporting thresholds. He then compared 2,923 complaints the CCC received with the 7,376 the police reported for 2024-25. He said "you can see that there is about four and a half thousand complaints by way of a gap", matters the CCC cannot see but an independent unit could. ### CCC questions domestic violence bill change Asked about a police integrity unit, the CCC chair said there had been no further meetings since the last hearing. He said the CCC's 2 October submission on the Domestic and Family Violence Protection and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2026 found "there is no clear rationale that we have been able to see for the change in policy position, particularly in such a short period of time". He said the bill lets police issue protection directions where an officer is involved, with limited oversight. ### Donations carry perception risk, CCC chair says Asked about donations from developers and unions, the CCC chair said any interest group paying substantial sums creates a perception of buying https://videos.polyfact.com/7d34f998500644119e90181689438b97-vod/manifest.m3u8 3620 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/nsw-legislative-council-299045107-vod 2026-11-11 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/nsw-legislative-council-299045107-vod/20261111030025/1280.jpg NSW Legislative Council – 10 November 2026 Victim reforms pass despite Greens bid ### Victim reforms pass despite Greens bid The NSW Legislative Council, sitting on Tuesday 10 November 2026, passed the Criminal Procedure and Other Legislation Amendment (Victim Experience Reforms) Bill 2026 at third reading. The bill sets up a pilot of ground rules hearings for adult sexual offence trials and expands recorded police evidence. Greens member Abigail Boyd moved amendments requiring police to tell victim-survivors of their right to legal representation and giving standing to a lawyer at ground rules hearings. Boyd said: "It's pretty shocking that Labor isn't supporting what we see as a ridiculously modest and bare minimum requirement." ### Urgency debate on church liability defeated The Council voted down Greens member Sue Higginson's motion to discuss urgently reform for victim-survivors of institutional child sexual abuse. Minister Tara Moriarty said "The question of urgency is not an appropriate question to be raising at this point and the government doesn't support it." ### Electoral bill amended on AI offences Special Minister of State John Graham moved an amendment to the Electoral Legislation Amendment (Miscellaneous) Bill 2026. He said: "The intention of the AI offences is to safeguard New South Wales elections from the spread of misinformation." Liberal Chris Rath said the AI rules "could hurt minor or micro parties the most because the larger parties do have a large number of graphic design staff", but did not oppose the amendment. • Special Minister John Graham said the Greyhound Welfare and Integrity Commission inquiry report need not be published. • The Council voted 31 to 3 to read the Renewable Fuel Scheme Bill a second time. • The Council passed the Electoral Legislation Amendment (Miscellaneous) Bill 2026. https://videos.polyfact.com/nsw-legislative-council-299045107-vod/manifest.m3u8 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/nsw-legislative-council-299044829-live 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/nsw-legislative-council-299044829-live/20261110114620/1280.jpg NSW Legislative Council – 10 November 2026 Parliament of New South Wales, Legislative Council broadcast of 10 November 2026, from 11:02 am AEDT (live). https://videos.polyfact.com/nsw-legislative-council-299044829-live/manifest.m3u8 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/nsw-legislative-council-299044829-vod 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/nsw-legislative-council-299044829-vod/20261110004523/1280.jpg NSW Legislative Council – 10 November 2026 Parliament of New South Wales, Legislative Council broadcast of 10 November 2026, 11:02 am AEDT – 11:19 am AEDT. https://videos.polyfact.com/nsw-legislative-council-299044829-vod/manifest.m3u8 1019 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/--gJoMUCbSc 2026-11-10 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/--gJoMUCbSc/hqdefault.jpg Maître Anthony Bem réagit aux violences commises dans des établissements scolaires à Chelles. Reaction of Maître Anthony Bem to the violence in Chelles high schools The city of Chelles has become the epicenter of violence within educational institutions, particularly at the Jehan de Chelles, Louis Lumière, and Bachelard high schools. While blockades previously took place outside the buildings, violence is now being perpetrated inside. A state representative was notably set on fire at one of these high schools. Faced with these acts, Maître Anthony Bem points out that minor perpetrators face prison sentences. The age of criminal responsibility, applicable from age 13, allows for the incarceration of minors found guilty of crimes. • "Today, in Chelles, it is the Jehan de Chelles high school, it is the Louis Lumière high school in Chelles, and it is this Bachelard high school today where this state representative was set on fire. So, we have reached a level in Chelles that we did not know until yesterday: it is inside the establishments, today, that the violence is being exercised" (Unknown speaker, 00:33) • "Obviously, he faces prison, because minors can go to prison. From the age of 13, there is the age of criminal responsibility which indeed allows for the incarceration of minors who are perpetrators of crimes. We know this. Nevertheless, as you said, Nelly, very rightly, Chelles is ultimately the epicenter since yesterday of this violence in the establishments. Before, the blockades were outside: we blocked the establishments, we prevented everyone from entering, a minority prevented the majority from attending classes" (Speaker 1, 00:00) https://www.youtube.com/embed/--gJoMUCbSc 58 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/-6hkZv24A0Q 2026-11-10 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/-6hkZv24A0Q/hqdefault.jpg Philippe Caverivière face à Charles Alloncle 🤣 Philippe Caverivière's column facing MP Charles Alloncle on RTL Matin Philippe Caverivière presents his morning column on RTL facing Charles Alloncle, UDR MP and spokesperson for Marine Le Pen. The comedian reviews current events involving Jordan Bardella, ironically mentioning the episode where he read from a cheat sheet on television and the accusations of antisemitism targeting the party. He also highlights Marine Le Pen's rise in the polls, noting that she is still being closely followed by Jean-Luc Mélenchon. The columnist questions the MP about his role as spokesperson, describing it as a fictitious job as long as Marine Le Pen remains silent, and addresses the issue of privatizing public service broadcasting. He mentions the work of the commission on audiovisual media, noting that the only notable dismissal in the media is that of Thomas Sotto, who did not work for the public service. Finally, the column covers the announcement of Teddy Riner's candidacy for the presidential election. Philippe Caverivière makes fun of this prospect by comparing it to the show Mask Singer. He notes with derision that the judoka seems ready for the presidential office since he is being targeted by a tax adjustment related to his luxury car rental company. • "RTL, The Eye of Philippe Caverivière.

So, the less she says, the less you work, so your job is a bit of a fictitious job at the moment.

To break out of this situation, the Rassemblement National is proposing a major conference on wages. Jean-Philippe Tanguy details Marine Le Pen's measure aimed at increasing wages by 10% without associated social charges. This mechanism, compared to a value-added bonus paid monthly over 5 years, is presented as a revolution for purchasing power. Regarding the civil service, the movement rejects a general increase in the index point that would benefit everyone, including parliamentarians. Instead, categorical increases are favored, including a 12% increase over 3 years for teachers, as well as revaluations for healthcare workers, prison officers, and sovereign function civil servants. • "And this very strong measure by Marine Le Pen to increase wages by 10% without associated charges, that would give a huge boost. In fact, it's, how should I say, the famous value-added bonus that is paid only once a year. Well, it would allow it to be paid every month for 5 years. So it would be a real revolution for purchasing power" (Mr. Jean-Philippe Tanguy, 00:40) • "Today, if you increase the SMIC by €100, it's almost three times that amount that goes into social charges. So in fact, bosses, companies have trouble increasing pay because it's what we call low-wage traps. That is to say, this whole system that was set up by the Socialists, the Republicans, and the Macronists actually prevents companies from increasing wages and everyone is stuck in low wages. That's also why you have wages that don't increase enough and you also have people who spend their whole lives, from beginning to end, in low wages because increases are blocked by this trap" (Unknown speaker, 00:00) • "We need categorical increases.

He describes a Stalinist ritual targeting CNEWS, including a staged event with students and a member of parliament, false accusations, and a call for the death penalty aimed at the social death of the channel. The journalist points out that the channel's shutdown was avoided by only three votes. He compares this situation to a hypothetical demand by the right to shut down publications like L'Humanité, Libération, or Le Monde, stating that he would oppose that as well. Finally, he notes with surprise the behavior of certain party members who reportedly did not vote as expected. • "Never in my lifetime would I have thought I would witness the resurrection of Stalinism in France. We have a Stalinist party that held a Stalinist trial against CNEWS, by the way, by adopting the ritual of Stalinism. First, a staged event, you saw it, Ms. Binet, young students, this deputy who puts her hand on the CNEWS microphone, effectively. Then, a false accusation, and finally, a demand for the death penalty, the social death of CNEWS. That is why I speak of Stalinism and a Stalinist trial" (Unknown speaker, 00:01) • "By three votes, we escaped it. Just imagine the opposite: that a part of the right demands the suppression of L'Humanité, Libération, and Le Monde. I would have obviously stood up against such a demand. Imagine such a demand, just imagine the outcry. By three votes" (Unknown speaker, 00:32) • "And I am surprised, although I don't have the names, by the behavior of certain members of your party who, apparently, did not vote in the right direction" (Unknown speaker, 00:51) https://www.youtube.com/embed/-VEIzxS-UHk 63 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/-Ynr6l3_Bv0 2026-11-10 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/-Ynr6l3_Bv0/hqdefault.jpg OIF : « Si la RDC quitte l'organisation, c'en sera fini pour l'OIF » • RFI Francophonie Summit: The stakes of the OIF Secretary General election As the Francophonie summit approaches, four candidates are vying for the leadership of the OIF. Louise Mushikiwabo, the outgoing Rwandan Secretary General, is seeking a third term, but she faces former Romanian Prime Minister Dacian Cioloș, who was considered very convincing during the hearings. African candidates Juliana Lumumba and Coumba Ba are also in the running, although they are considered less impactful. The Democratic Republic of Congo has clearly threatened to leave the organization if Louise Mushikiwabo is reappointed. This hostility is part of a context of war between Rwanda and the DRC, linked to Kigali's support for the M23 movement. With more than 100 million inhabitants and a major share of the 350 million French speakers in the world, the departure of the DRC could mean the end of the OIF. The election of Dacian Cioloș is mentioned as a solution to resolve the diplomatic embarrassment between two neighboring countries in a state of near-belligerence. Although nothing prohibits a third term, the issue of term limits is raised as a necessary mindset. Finally, the hypothesis of a last-minute candidacy by former Senegalese President Macky Sall is not excluded in the absence of a consensus. • "The DRC has clearly made it known that it would leave the OIF if the current Secretary General were reappointed, because you know that there is a war that is not just verbal between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo due to Kigali's support for the M23 movement, an armed rebellion against the DRC. And I would point out that several other African countries have left the organization. The three central Sahel countries have left the organization, and if the DRC, which claims to be the country with the most French speakers, leaves the organization, that will be the end of the OIF, right" (Unknown speaker, 01:21) • "I think that perhaps we should make a choice other than the outgoing candidate, so the Rwandan, and Juliana Lumumba, who is https://www.youtube.com/embed/-Ynr6l3_Bv0 299 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/-i3eIK0H0sw 2026-11-10 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/-i3eIK0H0sw/hqdefault.jpg Stop à la spoliation qui vient ! Europe 1: Agnès Verdier-Molinié denounces a scent of spoliation in public debate Agnès Verdier-Molinié observes a growing scent of spoliation in French public debate. She recalls that last year, socialist senators proposed a forced loan from the wealthiest at 0% interest. More recently, the Prime Minister has put under study a forced patronage imposed on large inheritances, marking the transition from isolated amendments to a genuine government project. The analysis also focuses on the Insoumis program, which proposes taking everything above 12 million euros in inheritance and collectivizing strategic sectors such as medicine, banking, or insurance. This project provides for the requisition of factories and companies deemed to be of general interest, as well as calling into question the right to property in favor of a simple right of use regulated in the name of common goods. Faced with these developments, the speaker invokes Article 17 of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, which defines property as an inviolable and sacred right. She believes that to restart the economic engine, it is necessary to secure property rights and reassure investors rather than multiplying threats of requisition and forced loans. • "And yes, an increasingly heavy scent, if one might say. It clearly started last year when socialist senators proposed a forced loan from the wealthiest at a 0% interest rate. This year, it is the Prime Minister himself who has put under study the idea of a forced patronage imposed on large inheritances. There, we have crossed a threshold in recent days. We are no longer talking about amendments but about a government project" (Unknown speaker, 00:12) • "But the red line is still ahead of us, not yet totally crossed, that of spoliation. Spoliation that the Insoumis now dare to openly propose, taking everything above 12 million in inheritance but also collectivizing, as one can read in their program, notably sectors deemed strategic: medicine, banks, insurance" (Unknown speaker, 00:36) https://www.youtube.com/embed/-i3eIK0H0sw 160 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/-oMQzIDrVro 2026-11-10 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/-oMQzIDrVro/hqdefault.jpg « L’Université, ce n’est pas un parc d’attractions » Debate on Parcoursup and university selection with Stéphane Piednoir Students denounce Parcoursup as a system of social and racial selection and are calling for its repeal. They feel that their demands are still not being taken seriously. Conversely, it is pointed out that Parcoursup has factually improved the number of placements, even if the platform likely needs to be reformed. With 3 million students, a means of distributing enrollment across programs is considered necessary. The absence of selection is criticized: the university should not be considered an amusement park where one comes to try out a ride for the thrills. The goal must remain the acquisition of knowledge and skills to integrate into the workforce. • "They still don't take our demands seriously. Regarding the Parcoursup meeting, our position does not change. We are still calling for its repeal, and it is the repeal of a system of social and racial selection that we are denouncing" (Unknown speaker, 00:07) • "But at some point, when you have 3 million students in our country, you have to find a way to distribute, excuse the expression, these students into the various programs.

That is to say, the minimum wage will increase" — Unknown speaker "No, we are not against it. But we must tell people the truth. It will lead to wage compression, meaning that all wages above the minimum wage will increase little or poorly because the economy is sluggish. The reality is that today, if you remove the little statistical manipulation from the second quarter, France is in recession. And I regret it because, contrary to what members of the government say, France is the laggard" — Unknown speaker **Solutions for purchasing power** "Yes, we are all looking for solutions to increase wages today. I don't see how it is possible given the economic context. The only way is to improve purchasing power by lowering mandatory charges, by making life less expensive. That is all that Marine Le Pen proposes: lowering VAT from 20 to 5.5 on energy, lowering VAT, or even almost eliminating it on essential goods.

He describes these allegations as grotesque and denounces a destabilization operation aimed at killing him politically. He claims that one of the article's sources retracted their statement, explaining they had been manipulated. In response, two complaints have been filed for defamation, forgery, and use of forged documents. When asked about the timeline for handling this case before the presidential election, he stated that he is not in control of the judicial agenda, noting that it sometimes takes a year and a half or two years to process such cases.

He indicates that he has been invited by the government of the State of Israel to speak at an international conference in March 2025. • "You are revisiting the Mediapart investigation, the site that accuses you of having produced numerous antisemitic writings when you were 17.

He maintains that France is probably the least racist country in the world and rejects the accusations made by a segment of the left. To justify this position, he points out that more than 500,000 people wish to come to France each year, which would contradict the existence of state or systemic racism linked to religion or skin color. Finally, he expresses his refusal to see France systematically put in the dock. He opposes the idea that the French should apologize for being patriotic or for defending their identity, their traditions, and their national pride. • "what Marine meant, and I agree 300% with her remarks, is that contrary to what a part of the left is trying to make people believe, there is no systemic racism in France, madam" (Unknown speaker, 00:00) • "What Marine meant, and I agree 300% with her remarks, is that contrary to what a part of the left is trying to make people believe, there is no systemic racism in France, madam.

France Culture: Rethinking freedom in the face of ecological and democratic limits The outcome of COP17 on biodiversity highlights a general delay in meeting the targets set in 2022. International structures like the COPs, which are non-coercive, struggle to impose changes on issues that receive less media attention than the climate. In this context, the notion of freedom inherited from the Enlightenment—defined as the absence of constraints—clashes with the reality of our dependence on ecosystems. Maintaining the same society without taking these links into account is considered an illusion. To overcome the opposition between freedom and ecology, it is proposed to redefine this notion within a cross-party political project. The challenge is to transform scientific and technical constraints into limits chosen democratically by citizens. This approach, described as ecoliberalism, places clarity regarding our dependencies at the heart of freedom: to be free is to decide collectively which ties we choose to rely on. The current debate suffers from poor framing, oscillating between a "punitive ecology" denounced by some political leaders and a classical liberalism centered on the freedom to produce. However, forcing behaviors does not allow for lasting change. The transition requires a systemic framework: a farmer cannot be truly free to stop using pesticides if the entire economic system does not support their choice. • "this taboo is precisely the taboo surrounding freedom, the fact that we must redefine this notion of freedom in the context of contemporary ecological reality" (Speaker 2, 08:51) • "what is very important in the ecoliberalism that I propose is that, precisely, the limits must be chosen by the citizens. In fact, what is essential is that in ecoliberalism, the democratic challenge is at the heart of the conception of freedom" (Speaker 2, 15:55) • "The difference is that these limits are not constraints because, in fact, they are chosen by the citizens. And that is essential to understand" (Speaker 2, https://www.youtube.com/embed/22N8wo9wl8A 1487 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/2DCnMyuqFS4 2026-11-10 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/2DCnMyuqFS4/hqdefault.jpg Marine Le Pen proposera un prêt à taux zéro sur l'immobilier Proposal for a universal zero-interest loan for real estate acquisition A new proposal aims to establish a universal zero-interest loan accessible to all French citizens. Unlike the current system, this loan would no longer be limited by geographical zones or income conditions. The borrowable amount could reach 100,000 euros, thus providing a significant down payment for buyers. For acquisitions exceeding this amount, a supplement via a standard bank loan remains necessary. A social measure is also planned: in the event of the arrival of a third child, the loan evolves into a grant, making the remaining capital due non-repayable. • "There is already a zero-interest loan, except that we are proposing a zero-interest loan that is universal. Today, the zero-interest loan is limited by zones, it is limited according to income. We are proposing this zero-interest loan for all French people, whoever they are, regardless of their geographical situation, whether they live in a high-demand area or not, and regardless of their income situation, there you go. And the possibility of borrowing up to 100,000 euros, so that still allows for a relatively significant down payment" (Unknown speaker, 00:00) • "There will be a supplement of course if the acquisition goes beyond that, through the use of a standard loan from a bank with the rates we know, and in the event of the arrival of the 3rd child, this zero-interest loan evolves into a grant, so the remaining capital due will no longer be repayable" (Unknown speaker, 00:00) https://www.youtube.com/embed/2DCnMyuqFS4 44 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/2DmPzN4rEIs 2026-11-10 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/2DmPzN4rEIs/hqdefault.jpg Ukraine : Poutine a-t-il gagné la guerre diplomatique ?

The mandate of MINURSO has ended after 35 years of existence.

Just last year, the mission investigated several strikes, notably near Smara on May 5th. And now that the liquidation of the UN mission is confirmed, it must be recalled that today's General Assembly at the UN, Paul, will only allow the different parties to justify their position on the issue, without revisiting the decision made by the Security Council. It is therefore difficult to imagine direct negotiations between Morocco and the Polisario Front, which is supported by Algeria. The UN had a role as a diplomatic arbiter" — Unknown speaker **Positions of Morocco and the Polisario Front** "Yes, Rabat, which supported the draft resolution presented by the United States to renew the mandate of MINURSO but with profound modifications such as changing the name without the 'R' for referendum, has readjusted its position following the Russian veto, whether in the various communiqués from the Moroccan Royal Cabinet or through the voice of its head of diplomacy, Nasser Bourita.

A decree published in the Official Journal now makes employer contribution relief conditional on the raising of minimum wage floors in professional sectors. The opposition denounces the amount as insufficient and demands a general indexation of wages to inflation. Regarding energy, the Government is temporarily suspending the heat fund application window to conduct consultations, citing the evolution of gas prices and the efficiency of the euro invested. Roland Lescure rejects requests to lower the VAT on energy to 5.5%, calling them unfunded fantasies, while reaffirming that nuclear power remains the future for 75% of French people. Regarding security and civil liberties, deputies questioned the Minister of the Interior about alleged cooperation between the police and far-right groups in Lorient, Montpellier, and Nice. Furthermore, the petition calling for the removal of CNews has been dismissed by the relevant committee of the National Assembly. Finally, the Government confirms the maintenance of the Le Touquet agreements despite requests for revision linked to the human distress observed at the border. • "Indeed, the SMIC, a boost to the SMIC, it's been a long time since we've done it, it's been more than 14 years. So it allows for bringing the SMIC to a 5.3% increase during the year 2026" (Mr. Jean-Pierre Farandou, 04:12) • "social dialogue, 3 weeks of intensive consultation with all trade union organizations, all employer organizations, one objective: to provide answers regarding purchasing power for employees.

He denounces the false statements made by the left-wing bloc, including LFI, the Greens, and the Socialists, who accused the channel of making racist and antisemitic remarks. According to him, if such remarks were against the law, Arcom would close the channel after an investigation. The result of the vote, 28 to 25, was marked by the absence of members of the centrist bloc and changes in position during the process. Philippe Ballard criticizes a desire for censorship on the part of the far-left and a portion of the left, whom he accuses of refusing debate as soon as a reality different from their political ideology is shown. He concludes by stating that the fight for freedom must be waged daily in the hemicycle and the media. He reminds us that if a viewer does not agree with the editorial line of a station, they remain the sole arbiter by using their remote control to change the channel. • "Yes, it is a victory for freedom of expression, freedom of the press, and more generally for democracy, because we were facing, well I say facing us, we had the left-wing bloc, LFI, but not just them, there were the Greens, the Socialists, who made false statements, well, I am not the lawyer for CNEWS, but when you have MPs who say to your face: 'We must close this channel because they make racist, antisemitic remarks.'

The repeated use of Article 49.3 to impose budgets since 2022 and the reliance on the RN (National Rally) are presented as factors that have weakened the democratic consensus. This situation is pushing high school students, university students, and employees to mobilize in the streets for their living and study conditions. Economically, France has reportedly seen the lowest growth in the minimum wage in the European Union over the last ten years, while prices are skyrocketing and wages are stagnating. The policies pursued are criticized for favoring the wealthiest at the expense of those who have only their work to live on. Faced with this crisis, the Ecologist and Social group is advocating for a net minimum wage of €1,700 and the indexation of wages to inflation. The €5 increase promised by the government is described as crumbs compared to the €100 requested by the unions. It is proposed to condition business subsidies on wage increases to preserve the social consensus. • "I want to insist here on a particular point, that of wages. For 10 years, you have pursued policies that favor the wealthiest, those who already hold high assets. You have forgotten all those who have only their work to live on. Prices are exploding, wages are stagnating. Of all the countries in the European Union, France has seen the lowest growth in the minimum wage in 10 years" (Unknown speaker, 00:49) • "So, you met with the unions, that is the least you could do.

Sarah El Haïry emphasizes that regulation must hit them in the wallet and hold executives criminally liable. She also warns about the impact of pornographic content, noting that one in two minor perpetrators of sexual violence replicates what they have seen on these sites. Legislatively, a law passed with near-unanimity aims to establish child-centered justice. This requires trained magistrates and the presence of forensic pediatricians in all jurisdictions, as a child's body differs from an adult's. The focus is on using UAPEDs (Child Protection Units) to collect evidence in an appropriate manner. Collective responsibility is reaffirmed: while the perpetrator is the one who commits violence, those responsible are those who fail in their duties to report, recruit, or check judicial records. If a procedure is opened, it is imperative to remove any adult presumed dangerous from children until the case is resolved. Finally, corporate commitment to production processes and the training of sector stakeholders are considered essential to protect this generation living through difficult transitions. • "It's a bit like asking a 13-year-old to win a tug-of-war against a giant that has all the codes, that has the best neurodevelopmental specialists, and they are there to keep you for as long as possible" (Unknown speaker, 15:28) • "I believe that regulation, when it works, hits the wallet and engages the criminal liability of the executives, because there are people who designed these models" (Unknown speaker, 16:10) • "If we want child-centered justice, we need trained magistrates, we need to take evidence in UAPEDs, and we need them in all jurisdictions, because when you don't have a forensic pediatrician, well, a child's body is not an adult's body" (Speaker 5, 20:18) • "But the person https://www.youtube.com/embed/5nojttqETMc 1323 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/6BdGPBG62KA 2026-11-10 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/6BdGPBG62KA/hqdefault.jpg Les Californiens disent finalement non à la "taxe Zucman" Les Californiens disent finalement non à l’impôt sur la fortune des milliardaires, l’initiative a été rejeté par referendum le 3 novembre dernier. https://www.youtube.com/embed/6BdGPBG62KA 38 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/6F42atb86WE 2026-11-10 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/6F42atb86WE/hqdefault.jpg Cyberattaques : l'Iran rejette "les accusations infondées" de la France • FRANCE 24 France attributes a cyberattack to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps **Attribution and technical investigations** "First, a word on those who, according to Paris, are behind these attacks—individuals already known for their involvement in the cyber operations of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps" — Unknown speaker "France asserts this, notably through technical investigations and the proceedings opened by the public prosecutor's office" — Unknown speaker "Gaping, no, because you see, for example, this attack is the third one for which the French government has named a state as the perpetrator" — Unknown speaker **Groups aligned with state interests** "Yes, absolutely, the FBI had identified these protagonists, notably because they had suffered attacks on their own soil linked to industrial environments, particularly water control" — Unknown speaker "However, we do this regularly with groups that are both cybercriminal groups driven by the lure of profit and groups aligned with state interests" — Unknown speaker "We know that among groups aligned with state interests, there are technical objectives.

In both humans and animals, it has made it possible to fight against predators or natural disasters. This cooperation can even be interspecies, as illustrated by the synchronization between dolphins and fishermen in Brazil to catch schools of fish. Neurologically, mutual aid activates the reward circuit and releases dopamine. For evolutionary theorists, this behavior has been preserved because it is associated with pleasure, just like eating or reproduction. This reciprocity strengthens social bonds and collective well-being by creating a symmetrical relationship where each individual provides support. In the field of mental health, this dynamic applies to the relationship between the caregiver and the patient. Sylvie Chokron emphasizes that both the patient and the clinician contribute shared knowledge that is useful to each other. She specifies that patients allow clinicians to train and learn about human functioning and brain plasticity far more than they could from books. • "So mutual aid is not just a moral quality that brings us well-being, it is necessary for the survival of our species" (Unknown speaker, 00:51) • "That is exactly it, Ali. Mutual aid refers to a reciprocal relationship where everyone provides support to others, and it is this reciprocity that, in human beings, strengthens social bonds and collective well-being. If mutual aid produces a form of well-being, it is because when we help each other, we activate our reward circuit, which is accompanied by a release of dopamine that provides pleasure, and this aspect is crucial because for evolutionary theorists, if mutual aid, altruism, and cooperation have been preserved throughout evolution, it is precisely because these behaviors have been associated with pleasure, just https://www.youtube.com/embed/6PGdqpQLBOc 301 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/6lXgqCcctC0 2026-11-10 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/6lXgqCcctC0/hqdefault.jpg Le vif désaccord entre Julien Debate between Sylvain Maillard and Julien Odoul on freedom of the press **Closure of C8 and the role of Arcom** "Macronism has quietly and calmly allowed a television channel like C8 to be shut down, with the indifference of a government that I believe is quite satisfied to see programs that were not necessarily favorable being banned.

Sophie Binet is calling for continued mobilization, particularly in solidarity with student unions, and has set a new day of action for November 17. The government has been granted a two-week reprieve, even as union pressure persists. • "Student protests and social unrest also follow the major social conference at Matignon dedicated to issues of purchasing power and wages.

Frédéric Souillot considers this amount insufficient and not up to the challenges, while welcoming the end of the dogma of no 'boost' (extra increase) that has been in effect since 2012. Two-week flash negotiations are opening in various sectors to discuss wages, the compression of pay scales, and the coefficients affected by the minimum wage. The General Secretary of Force Ouvrière is calling for the conditionality of public aid granted to companies since 2022. He specifies that social contributions fund collective social protection. Regarding work, he asserts that the problem lies in the number of workers, noting that the employment rate for 15-25 year-olds is the lowest in the entire OECD. Frédéric Souillot supports the repeal of the pension reform that pushed the retirement age from 62 to 64, highlighting that 52% of people liquidating their pension are no longer in employment. Finally, he indicates that his organization is not calling for mobilization on November 17 for the time being. • "No, it's insufficient, it's not up to the challenges.

Sarah Legrain disputes these claims and asks when she made such remarks, while other participants maintain that she just said it. The debate is marked by calls to order from David Pujadas for everyone to speak in turn. Laurent Jacobelli takes the floor to denounce what he considers to be an illustration of how the media would be managed if the left returned to power. He mentions a hatred of opposing opinions and links this behavior to a certain vision of democracy held by the cinematic and political left. • "I think we have the illustration tonight, David Pujadas, of what the media would be like if the left, whether cinematic or political, returned to power, this hatred of the opposing opinion" (Unknown speaker, 01:05) • "I am quite stunned, really.

According to the speaker, when a person is sentenced to a short term for a minor offense, the sentence should not be adjusted in order to avoid creating a sense of impunity. The plan also includes the introduction of mandatory minimum sentences, preventing judges from deviating from a minimum penalty in cases of assault against individuals holding public authority. This measure would apply to elected officials of the Republic, teachers, police officers, gendarmes, and healthcare workers. The speaker proposes including journalists as well. These proposals are part of a desire to restore authority in the country. The speaker recalls that Édouard Philippe had already initiated the recruitment of police officers and gendarmes, as well as repressive measures, during his time as Prime Minister. • "Short sentences. Our justice model only works on the idea that when you are sanctioned for a minor offense, you don't go to prison. We have proposed, and Horizons and Édouard Philippe have been proposing for several years, to execute short sentences. When you are sentenced to a short term, you don't adjust the sentence, you go to prison because otherwise it creates a sense of impunity. And secondly, mandatory minimum sentences when you attack people holding public authority; when you attack an elected official of the Republic, when you attack a teacher, a police officer, a gendarme, you get a minimum sentence, and I propose that we include journalists in that" (Unknown speaker, 00:26) • "That when someone attacks a journalist in this country, when someone attacks an elected official of the Republic, a healthcare worker, a police officer, or a gendarme, it is an aggravating circumstance—that is already the case, though not for journalists, but it must be done—and that there should be mandatory minimum sentences, meaning the judge cannot deviate https://www.youtube.com/embed/9-9hfKDjVb8 81 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/9Lxr-QHUN-E 2026-11-10 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/9Lxr-QHUN-E/hqdefault.jpg France : étudiants, lycéens et enseignants appelés à une nouvelle journée de grève par l'Interfac Interfac calls for a new day of student and teacher strikes **Mobilization of high school students, university students, and teachers** "At the call of Interfac, university students, high school students, and teachers are called to a new day of strikes and demonstrations" — Speaker 1 "Yes, obviously it will be strong again because, in reality, student general assemblies were held yesterday all over France, bringing together thousands of students" — Speaker 4 "We are very happy that the unions decided to join this date of mobilization and not fall into the trap, in reality, of these announcements, of these social conferences that the government organized yesterday, which do not solve any of the problems of the youth today" — Speaker 3 **Repeal of Parcoursup and resources for universities** "What we want is the repeal of Parcoursup, more resources for universities, and a minimum of 250,000 to 300,000 places so that everyone can access the training they wish" — Speaker 3 "The fact is that today, the government is talking to us about 4 billion euros in loans to renovate buildings today.

Nearly half of all Airbnb listings in the capital are now year-round rentals, accounting for nearly three-quarters of overnight stays last year. This growth is primarily attributed to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, as property owners maintained their listings after the event. Despite a tightening of regulations and tax rules over the past decade, the effectiveness of these measures remains limited. According to the Institut Paris Région, half of the Parisian listings published since the beginning of 2025 are illegal. The municipality is struggling to map these illicit properties and lacks sufficient control resources, while room rentals in primary residences are disappearing from the market. • "It is mainly room rentals in primary residences and those by owner-occupiers that have left the Airbnb market. It seems that the tightening of tax rules has had no effect, nor has the regulation, which has been constantly toughened for ten years.

The influence of pop culture on the political codes of the high school student movement High school and university student protests now massively incorporate references to cartoons, manga, and superheroes. These pop culture characters share the common trait of defying authority, overthrowing governments, or refusing a destiny assigned by failing institutions. Figures like Spider-Man or Luffy from One Piece serve as identification models for a youth facing enormous responsibilities. The use of these codes constitutes an emotional shortcut for contesting authority together. These references, which form a true neo-mythology, allow young people to identify with one another beyond their religious convictions, gender, or social background. This common language is now recognized by adults outside these cultures, facilitating the understanding of messages of anger. These symbols circulate very rapidly around the world, from Nepal to Bangladesh to France, permeating social networks. Memes have become the heirs to protest signs, where each new poster seeks to capture attention through a clever turn of phrase. This practice allows Generation Z to de-dramatize confrontations, particularly with the CRS (riot police), and to regain control over the narrative of their own mobilizations. • "It is the use of codes and characters that have in common the fact that they are pop culture characters, derived from pop culture, who defy authority or who also often overthrow governments" (Speaker 1, 02:13) • "It is an emotional shortcut, in fact, to tell the story of this way of contesting authority together with codes that everyone can understand and, above all, that circulate, as we have seen, that circulate around the world" (Speaker 1, 03:06) • "It is the symbol of the mobilization of Gen Z, of Generation Z, today around the world.

Fayad Debates on Europe 1 regarding violence and ideology in high schools Serious incidents have been reported in several high schools, notably in Chelles, where mortar fire occurred in the hallways. A regional representative was targeted with a gasoline bottle, while principals and teachers were doused with gasoline or beaten. These acts are described as criminal behavior using student protests as a cover to attack the institution and National Education staff. The analysis of the situation points to an infiltration of far-left ideology among students and part of the teaching staff. The government is criticized for negotiating with student unions deemed unrepresentative and carriers of false ideas. Some speakers believe the movement was wrongly treated as anything other than a political and violent movement. Faced with this ultra-violent hijacking, a judicial response is demanded to prosecute the acts of minors and hold parents accountable. The government is accused of having waited for explicit violence before reacting, following a decade of ministerial instability at the Ministry of National Education.

RTL: Passing on the memory of 14-18 to younger generations The memory of the First World War has been fading since the passing of the last French veteran, Lazare Ponticelli, in 2007. To counter this oblivion, the government has established a special day in schools, from primary school (CM1) to the final year of high school (terminale), to commemorate the men and women who fell defending France. The challenge is to return to a narrative that allows younger generations to understand the price of sacrifice and patriotism. However, some speakers regret that the heroization of war is now banned from the National Education system, preventing the telling of how certain soldiers acted as heroes. Family testimony remains an essential vector of transmission, relying on objects such as mortar shells or documents related to the Legion of Honor to illustrate the invasion of the territory and the sacrifice of ancestors. On the ground, veterans' associations, such as the FNACA, are facing a decrease in the number of flag bearers due to the age of their members. While local memory persists in some places through the involvement of schools in ceremonies, the comparison with Anglo-Saxon countries suggests a more rigorous organization of commemoration across the Channel, symbolized by the wearing of the poppy. • "It is an excellent decision by the government, indeed, because today our memory is disappearing, it has been fading since the passing of the last living veteran, Lazare Ponticelli, in 2007" (Unknown speaker, 01:11) • "That's right, we must return to a narrative to make younger generations understand the price of sacrifice, how these men died for the fatherland" (Unknown speaker, 02:11) • "The heroization of war is banned today, and therefore, we no longer want to tell how some soldiers acted as heroes.

He believes that raising the net minimum wage to €1,502 would cause a compression of higher salaries and that companies do not have the capacity to pay such amounts. He points out that the increase in the gas bill, estimated at €700, far exceeds the cumulative increase in the minimum wage. The National Rally (Rassemblement national) plans to present a pension reform maintaining the retirement age between 60 and 62. To finance this project, the movement proposes capitalization solutions without increasing labor costs. Furthermore, the party suggests a 10% salary increase without associated charges and a 12% revaluation over three years for teachers, as well as raises for prison officers. Asked about the potential candidacy of Teddy Riner, Jean-Philippe Tanguy praises the influence brought by the champion but warns him of the realities of the political world.

He highlights that the current economy is sluggish, which limits the ability of companies to pay higher wages and leads to a stagnation of salaries above the minimum wage (SMIC). He also advocates for a reduction in VAT to limit the increase in gas bills. On the issue of pensions, the deputy indicates that Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella are considering capitalization solutions without increasing labor costs. He opposes the proposals for retirement at 60 with 40 years of contributions including RSA periods, estimating their cost at at least 40 billion euros. Regarding the civil service, he advocates for categorical increases rather than a global increase in the index point, which would also benefit elected officials. Jean-Philippe Tanguy denounces the pressure exerted on rural mayors to prevent sponsorships for the Rassemblement National. He criticizes Teddy Riner's entourage, referring to "Macronist vultures" and "fake centrist friends."

Fifteen years after the opening of the case, the NGO emphasizes that while Laurent Gbagbo and Charles Blé Goudé have been acquitted and the warrant against Simone Ehivet canceled, the question of responsibility for the crimes remains unresolved. Yves Akafou, spokesperson for the OIDH, denounces the passage of time as amounting to a denial of justice for the victims, some of whom have passed away. He warns of the erosion of evidence and the victims' anxiety about seeing these crimes forgotten. The organization demands that all crimes covered by the prosecutor's mandate be investigated so that justice may be served. The NGO asserts that it is impossible to guarantee the non-repetition of crises by sacrificing justice for the sake of reconciliation or international considerations. Contacted by RFI, the ICC has not yet responded to these inquiries. • "Where does the International Criminal Court's investigation into the crimes committed in Côte d'Ivoire during the 2010-2011 post-election period stand?

It's about a quarter of our potential growth, which we estimate at around 1 to 1.2%, depending on the institution" — Speaker 5 "In a way, 0.3% growth for the year is weak, but given the accumulation of shocks we've taken, it's actually not that bad" — Unknown Speaker "We see that, in fact, we have two Frances, and that's why—two economic Frances, and that's why it doesn't always jump out at you—meaning on one side what is going well is industry, which is driven notably by defense and digital technology" — Speaker 5 "Where industry is not doing very well, however, is in everything related to the automotive sector, where we see that the Chinese wave continues to wreak havoc" — Speaker 5 "Overall, it still paints the landscape of an economy that is very largely at a standstill, with a few exceptions, as Olivier mentioned" — Speaker 12 **Tax burden and labor costs** "We have the fiscal shock that is starting to weigh on companies: nearly 18 billion, 17 billion since 2024 in additional tax hikes on companies.

Angela Avon, deputy mayor and regional councilor, was doused with gasoline while trying to prevent a trash can from being set on fire in front of a school. Although some testimonies suggest she was not directly targeted, Mayor Brice Rabaste denounced a serious and scandalous act. The elected official is traumatized by this event, which the Minister of National Education described as a crime. At the same time, the Jehan de Chelles high school was the scene of chaotic events. Individuals entered the school to fire mortar fireworks into classrooms, causing explosions and injuring two students. This is the second such intrusion in a month, which forced the school to switch classes to remote learning. The mayor expressed his deep concern over what he describes as a shift of violence into schools, places that are supposed to be sanctuaries. While video surveillance has led to arrests around the high schools, the situation remains tense for the teaching staff and students. A police investigation is underway to determine the exact circumstances of the assault on the elected official. • "And unfortunately, this morning, while preventing, while trying to prevent a container, well, a trash can from being set on fire, she received, unfortunately, she had a bottle of gasoline thrown on her coat which splashed her partially and which in fact would have been potentially dangerous because there was, there was a fire that was started in a trash can. And so it is a very serious act, it is an escalation of violence in front of high schools and towards an elected official of the Republic, it is purely scandalous" (Unknown speaker, 01:25) • "Yes, around noon yesterday, at the Jehan de Chelles high school in Seine-et-Marne, high school students were in class when an alert sounded.

Le risque financier du continent est-il réellement aussi élevé que le laissent entendre les marchés internationaux ? Dette publique, instabilité politique et monétaire, crises de change, risques climatiques, cybermenaces… Les économies africaines font face à de multiples vulnérabilités. Mais souffrent-elles aussi d'une mauvaise perception qui renchérit le coût de leur financement et freine les investissements ? Au micro de Bruno Faure (RFI) deux invités décryptent les défis de la gestion du risque financier en Afrique : Junior M'Buyi, fondateur de JPG Consulting Partners, et Dalila Belmrah, directrice associée chargée de l'Europe et de l'Afrique chez Moody's Analytics, filiale de Moody's Corporation distincte de l'agence de notation financière (Moody's Ratings). Elle est spécialisée dans la fourniture de données, de logiciels, de recherche économique et de services de conseil en gestion des risques financiers. Comment mieux mesurer les risques ? Comment fiabiliser les données économiques de 54 pays africains ? L'Africa Risk Index peut-il changer la donne et aider les investisseurs à mieux apprécier les réalités du continent ? Quel rôle l'intelligence artificielle peut-elle jouer dans cette révolution de l'analyse financière ? Alors que l'Union africaine soutient le projet d'une agence panafricaine de notation, l'AFCRA, une question s'impose : l'Afrique peut-elle enfin reprendre la main sur l'évaluation de ses propres risques et ne plus laisser les autres fixer le prix de son avenir économique ?

International ratings do not always take into account the specificities of the continent, which increases the cost of financing. To remedy this, the Africa Risk Index proposes a map of the resilience of the 54 African states, complementing traditional agencies. Mauritius and Botswana stand out for their investment status, while countries like the DRC or those in the Sahel remain vulnerable to political and climatic instabilities. Data reliability remains a major challenge for enabling banks to quantify default probabilities. The lack of documentation on companies mechanically increases uncertainty and perceived risk. Artificial intelligence offers prospects for automating collection and moving from periodic vigilance to continuous monitoring, although it requires strict governance to avoid biases or data hallucinations. Finally, the African Union has launched the AfCRA, a pan-African rating agency created on October 7th. This initiative aims to bridge the gap in approaches with major international agencies and allow the continent to regain control over the assessment of its own economic risks. • "And if you are here today, it is to present a new tool for assessing financial risk in Africa that we will talk about in a few moments: the Africa Risk Index" (Speaker 2, 02:45) • "The Africa Risk Index is an index that we wanted to set up, not to oppose the major rating agencies, but we are coming as a complement" (Speaker 5, 08:31) • "Africa as a whole is actually evaluated based on external ratings, therefore without really taking into account local realities.

Sarah Legrain, a deputy from La France Insoumise, argues that this petition must be taken seriously because it highlights the channel's responsibility in racist acts. The LFI group is requesting a public roll-call vote and opposes dismissing the petition, while also calling for a debate in the hemicycle that would address media pluralism more broadly. In parallel, Sophie Binet's refusal to speak to CNews during a press conference has sparked strong reactions. Commentators are denouncing an attack on freedom of expression and a lack of solidarity among journalists, with some suggesting that other media outlets should have left the conference in support. This situation is described as a form of censorship gradually taking hold in the country. The debate extends to public funding. Listeners and commentators are proposing to eliminate or reduce state contributions to the CGT in proportion to the audience of Europe 1 and CNews. The issue of press subsidies is also raised, citing the 14.3 million euros received by the Le Monde group from the state in 2025. • "In half an hour, about 70 deputies will meet within the Cultural Affairs Committee at the National Assembly to vote on the follow-up to this petition regarding CNews" (Unknown speaker, 06:40) • "What we want is for this petition to be taken seriously, because the more than 1,000,000 people who signed the petition first of all have a right for the National Assembly to address this petition" (Unknown speaker, 11:21) • "But also, the content of this petition should not be thrown in the trash, since it is specifically about pointing out CNews, pointing out the responsibilities of CNews in the racist acts that are committed in the country" (Ms. Sarah Legrain, 12:28) • "I am announcing that the La France Insoumise group will request a public roll-call vote https://www.youtube.com/embed/Cz07AD7DQNE 1046 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/D5uuxYt2qu0 2026-11-10 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/D5uuxYt2qu0/hqdefault.jpg LFI et censure des médias : l'analyse du politologue Arnaud Benedetti Arnaud Benedetti's analysis on the illiberal climate and media freedom **Polarized climate and balance of power on the left** "Well, we have an extremely polarized climate, but in fact, we still find an old foundation that is that of the far-left, which has always been very freedom-killing" — Unknown speaker "The difference today, if you will, it has always existed, but it is electorally strong today. Ultimately, when you look at the balance of power on the left today, it is the radical left that dominates" — Unknown speaker "So, you see that there is still this very illiberal climate settling into French society, which is likely very much pushed by the far-left because the far-left, when faced with reality, considers that this reality should not be allowed to express itself" — Unknown speaker **Defense of freedom of expression and journalists** "this necessity to defend freedom of expression is not equally shared by a certain number of political formations or political currents that should clearly defend it" — Unknown speaker "No one has the right to choose their journalists.

For the first time, high schools are being targeted for what they are, specifically aiming at teaching staff. Nearly 300 teachers have been injured since the beginning of the high school movement, and elected officials are also being targeted by incendiary projectiles. This violence sometimes emanates from outside elements, but also from the high school students themselves, some of whom are involved in drug trafficking as early as age 13. The State is described as being in a period of collapse, having lost control of its territories and institutions. By cutting both human resources and tools, it has created the conditions for a general degradation. The Senate belatedly acknowledged the massive establishment of drug trafficking in 2025, while law enforcement and emergency services struggle to intervene without heavy protection. This situation reflects a hatred of institutions and a rejection of authority in the face of a broken promise of protection. On the educational front, the State has created a mechanical 'bottleneck' by increasing the number of high school graduates without increasing the number of places in higher education. This policy leaves many young people in despair and distrust. The Ministry of National Education is criticized for having anticipated a demographic decline by reducing the number of classes at a time of peak enrollment. Finally, a deep crisis of legitimacy affects political discourse, which is perceived as corrupted or marked by lies. The nation, historically marked by peasant revolts (jacqueries), seems to only achieve change through violence when faced with a State incapable of preventive dialogue. To restore respect, the return of power to the people via referendum is mentioned as a necessity to respond to the distress and muffled rage of the citizens. • "But it is the first time that high https://www.youtube.com/embed/DDGUq6D1Hbc 2357 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/DwnelXlLlUs 2026-11-10 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/DwnelXlLlUs/hqdefault.jpg Georges Fenech : «Ce qui m'inquiète, ce sont les 25 voix pour» la fermeture de CNEWS Debate at the National Assembly on the petition for the removal of CNEWS **Blaming deputies and debate priorities** "While France today resembles a true Titanic, you realize that these deputies find the time and the priority, therefore, to debate, in complete tranquility" — Unknown speaker "That's the only thing they are interested in, it is to" — Unknown speaker "a potential removal of a TV channel, while France is sinking, you know?

This level remains higher than that of European neighbors like Germany or the Netherlands, where rates are below 5%. Growth for the year as a whole is now estimated at around 0.3%, in an environment marked by uncertainty. Inflation in the eurozone has reached 4%, double the 2% target. The challenge is to prevent energy inflation from spreading to services and triggering a price-wage spiral. Furthermore, 12% of the population is on the minimum wage (Smic), which tends to compress the wage scale during revaluations. On the budgetary front, the interest rate spread between France and Germany stands at 140 basis points. The government proposes reducing the deficit from 5.4% to 5%, a goal considered achievable without undermining the social model. To balance pension schemes, adjusting the retirement age and the contribution period is considered necessary. Regarding savings, 80% of French people hold a Livret A. While a slight increase in its ceiling is possible, the focus is on long-term savings to finance businesses and innovation.

In Europe, an anti-data center movement is emerging with around a hundred movements identified, while some developments are being called into question following the Democrats' victory. Operators are, however, seeking to reduce their water and energy consumption for economic reasons. France has an advantage with its carbon-free energy and nuclear power to attract investors. The challenge is to succeed in these developments without a local impact on electricity prices. The activity could contribute a few tenths of a percentage point to GDP, which is considered positive for growth and public finances. Regarding taxation, the debate focuses on the opportunity to increase property taxes to generate local benefits. However, it is specified that this does not necessarily mean creating new taxes, as the state should naturally collect revenue from these facilities. • "So, data centers, you have to understand, are one of the elements of the AI value chain; it's not the whole thing, it's a point in itself" (Unknown speaker, 00:20) • "Anyway, at least we have the advantage of carbon-free energy, well, nuclear power, well, there you go.

He is accused of breaking laws and violating the Constitution, specifically for failing to follow the rules of engagement for the armed forces and failing to legally consult Congress before launching the war against the Islamic Republic of Iran. The Secretary is also accused of ordering extrajudicial executions of drug traffickers in the Caribbean and being responsible for the deaths of civilians during the bombing of an elementary school in Minab on the first day of the Iranian conflict. Thomas Massie claims he wants to pressure Donald Trump to fire his Secretary before the Democrats launch their own proceedings, following the Republicans' loss of control of the House and Senate in the midterm elections. President Donald Trump has stated his support for his Secretary, claiming that he won two wars. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has also taken Pete Hegseth's side, calling the impeachment resolution unfair. Despite this initiative, the move is unlikely to succeed before the new members are sworn in, as Republicans remain in the majority until the beginning of next year. • "Critical of the war in Iran since it began at the end of February, the Kentucky representative is launching an impeachment process against Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.

Regarding gas, an average increase of 16 euros is expected in December due to Gulf benchmark prices, but the payment of aid will be brought forward to January to offset this burden. On the social front, the increase in the minimum wage (SMIC) is intended to trigger a movement across the entire salary scale. The government plans to bring together trade unions and employers' organizations so that these increases are reflected on pay slips. A new form of conditionality is being introduced: the State will ensure that the increases do not impact labor costs too heavily by compensating for a portion of the increases observed in the sectors. Finally, the overtime system is being strengthened through tax exemptions to allow those who work more to earn more. Furthermore, a €1,000 aid package is being extended for next year to support citizens in the face of current economic pressure. • "That is why when we increase the SMIC, we announced it yesterday, the idea is to launch an increase movement for the whole scale, not just for the SMIC" (Unknown speaker, 03:02) • "diesel in any case, it is around 2.20, it was around 2.40 ten days ago.

Anne, co-founder of the collective, deems Mr. Macron's international speeches ridiculous in the face of the reality in schools where children are victims of sexual assault, particularly in Paris. The collective denounces an absence of concrete measures and a lack of follow-up for psychological care. Procedures are described as arduous, with complaints often dismissed and the child's voice not respected. SOS Périscolaire claims to be substituting for the State in supporting victimized families, citing precarious situations comparable to the third world. Finally, administrative incompetence is highlighted regarding the Saint-Dominique case in Paris. The Department of School Affairs (DASCO) admitted to having provided erroneous schedules to the courts due to incompatible software. These documents were, however, essential for identifying contacts between children and the activity leaders accused of sexual misconduct. • "So, we are asking for what we always ask for, which is measures for extracurricular activities. But above all, what we wanted to say is that we find it a little bit, if not ridiculous, to come and give speeches like Mr. Macron did at the UN podium on September 22, talking about childhood all over the world, when on our own territory, he does not guarantee the protection of our own children.

While acknowledging the athlete's courage, he points out that presidents from the ENA have led to a "massacre" and believes that a different profile could not be worse. On the social front, the MP asserts that housing has become the "country's primary contraceptive," accounting for half of the budget for low-income households. He advocates for the massive construction of public housing, particularly for young people, and supports an increase in the minimum wage (Smic) in the face of a situation he deems "obscene." Regarding security, François Ruffin proposes a moratorium on identity checks and wants the State to refocus on its "backbone": justice, police, schools, and hospitals. He calls for a weaning-off operation for corporate subsidies to fund these public services. Finally, the representative for the Somme department identifies victory against Marine Le Pen in the second round as the "real issue" of the 2027 presidential election. He also mentions the need for media outlets like CNews to respect pluralism and diversity of opinion in accordance with Arcom regulations. • "It's Macron with a lot more muscle, but knowing that I don't reduce Teddy Riner to just muscle, he went to Sciences Po, etc." (Mr. François Ruffin, 00:01) • "In his statement, he seems more like a pro-business candidate, there you go.

They justify these acts as a response to violence and a way to demand their rights in the face of a lack of being heard. One speaker expresses concern over an inversion of values among these young people, whom he deems lost and whose discourse lacks coherence. Teacher Ève Vaguerlant calls for questioning the role of the FCPE, which she describes as being close to the far-left. She recalls that the organization campaigned in 2019 for the wearing of the veil during school outings. According to her, the role of this parents' federation is just as problematic as that of the teachers' unions in the current movement. A listener, a school teacher for 31 years, testifies that she left her union because these organizations have become political rather than professional. She expresses her agreement with the remarks of the guest teacher regarding the situation within the National Education system. • "And we give them the floor before having taught them what allows them to take it and hold a structured discourse, so they can only recite once again and be manipulated.

In the case of attempted homicide, classified as a crime and the most serious offense, a prison sentence handed down by a juvenile court is considered highly probable. However, the law provides by default for a halving of sentences compared to those incurred by adults. The priority remains educational measures for minors. This approach, which favors education over punishment, is presented as the source of a current sense of impunity. • "Indeed, minors can be subject to imprisonment from the moment they are over 16 and under certain derogations. In this case, given that it was a crime, an attempted homicide is a crime, it is the most serious of offenses, it is highly probable that a juvenile court will sentence him, if applicable, to a prison term. We know, however, that educational measures are the priority for minors and that they benefit by default, by law, from a halving of the sentences incurred by adult majors" (Unknown speaker, 00:00) • "So, and that is the reason why we arrive at this feeling of impunity today, because often our judges ensure that minors are educated and not punished" (Unknown speaker, 00:00) https://www.youtube.com/embed/OTCXUrmvfs0 48 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/OufGc_Q5mFM 2026-11-10 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/OufGc_Q5mFM/hqdefault.jpg Jérémie Patrier-Leitus : «Il faut que les chefs d'établissements soient chefs, aient de l'autorité» Crisis of authority and mortar fire in Seine-et-Marne high schools Faced with youth deemed increasingly young and violent, Jérémie Patrier-Leitus advocates for a profound change in the legal framework and juvenile justice. He highlights a crisis of authority illustrated by attacks against elected officials of the Republic on mediation missions. The deputy proposes holding parents financially liable for all benefits received. He also suggests allowing mayors to impose sanctions, such as community service or fines, on disruptive and destructive students, arguing that current criminal responses are ineffective. Finally, the emphasis is placed on the need to restore the authority of school principals. According to the speaker, they must once again become true leaders with real authority over teachers and parents, beyond just legislative aspects. • "But politics is also about symbols. School principals must be leaders. Today, they are not leaders; they do not have authority, neither over teachers nor over parents who sometimes push the boundaries of schools. We must restore authority at all levels, but I say this because this debate is too often caricatured. It is not just a matter of law and legislation." (Unknown speaker, 02:20) • "What I am telling you is that we must engage the responsibility of parents, and therefore the responsibility of parents is engaged financially regarding all aspects of the benefits currently granted to parents. In any case, it is a change that is almost, as you said, philosophical, metaphysical. But it is about saying that parents, in our country, have a responsibility.

However, the school's administration states that no one was splashed with gasoline that morning. A police investigation must now determine whether the facts are accurate or not. The Ministry of National Education reports 31 high schools blocked nationwide. In this context of student protests linked to Parcoursup, a principals' union is calling for mobilization against the violence they are facing. Some elected officials reiterate that the right to protest must not infringe upon the freedom to teach and learn. The dissemination of information on social media, particularly by Valérie Pécresse and Yaël Braun-Pivet on X, raises the question of the speed of information versus the time needed for fact-checking. Field journalism is stepping in to confirm or refute the testimonies relayed online. • "And we were also able to speak just now, a few minutes ago, with people from the school's administration who also confirm to us indeed that no one received gasoline this morning, not this regional councilor who was indeed present here in front of this establishment" (Camille Nowak, 10:18) • "A regional councilor, therefore, who was hit by a thrown bottle of gasoline in front of a high school in Chelles, that is what will occupy us now" (Speaker 3, 00:00) • "You should know that nationwide, there are nearly 31 high schools that are blocked all over the country, these are the figures from the Ministry of National Education" (Madjid Khiat, 00:37) • "It clearly shows the importance of field journalism, of going to verify the facts on site, and if Valérie Pécresse was misinformed, well, it is the job of journalists to go and verify what actually happened" (Yaël Goosz, 11:54) • "The police investigation, the first hearings will allow us to identify if the reality of the facts is established, is proven, or not" (Rudy Manna, 16:46) https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ov5mTVJb038 1182 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/Oy7SG2aGSUQ 2026-11-10 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Oy7SG2aGSUQ/hqdefault.jpg «C'est peut-être plus facile de parrainer Teddy Riner que Marine Le Pen ou Jean-Luc Mélenchon», s... Europe 1: Analysis of endorsements and Teddy Riner's candidacy The entry into politics of figures from civil society quickly requires structuring into a party for financial reasons. While Emmanuel Macron structured himself this way in 2016, Teddy Riner is now adopting a classic candidacy decorum and launching a call for donations. His approach differs from that of Coluche through a 'neither right nor left' positioning aimed at unity. The issue of the 500 endorsements remains central. Although some speakers have no doubt about Teddy Riner's ability to obtain them, the process remains complex for candidates. Mayors, sometimes jaded by national politics, report being pressured by their departmental councilors or department presidents in the choice of their signature. It appears that it might be easier for an elected official to endorse Teddy Riner than political figures like Marine Le Pen or Jean-Luc Mélenchon. The upcoming congress of the Association of French Mayors in Paris will be a key stage for lobbying by the various candidates. • 'But precisely, Teddy Riner, it is perhaps easier to endorse Teddy Riner than to endorse either Marine Le Pen or Jean-Luc Mélenchon' (Unknown speaker, 02:08) • 'So, do you have any doubts about the endorsements? I have absolutely no doubt about the 500 endorsements. It's crazy. Afterwards, well, that doesn't mean the French will vote for him, but I have no doubt about the endorsements afterwards' (Unknown speaker, 01:30) • 'General de Gaulle started as a soldier and without his own political party when he led France to London. But obviously, to structure oneself afterwards, one creates a party; moreover, Emmanuel Macron, who was, I would say, more or less without a party in 2016 since he had left a Socialist Party that we don't really know when he had exactly joined, but very quickly, it structures itself around a party for a very simple reason, which is that a campaign requires money and therefore it must be structured' (Unknown speaker, 00:07) • 'And then I tell you, there is https://www.youtube.com/embed/Oy7SG2aGSUQ 142 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/PJNXqVcA3sg 2026-11-10 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/PJNXqVcA3sg/hqdefault.jpg Centres de données : le coup de chaud ? • FRANCE 24 Data centers: tensions over energy, water, and land artificialization The deployment of data centers is raising growing concerns due to their environmental footprint. A single project can consume the equivalent of 33% of the electricity of a department like Pas-de-Calais. While some stakeholders point out that water consumption in France remains minimal (0.0023% of total withdrawals) thanks to closed-loop systems, tensions over resource usage are emerging, particularly in the United States where water potability is sometimes called into question. In terms of urban planning, France is one of the countries with the highest rates of land artificialization in Europe, although the industry claims to prioritize the reindustrialization of existing brownfield sites in 80% of cases. A new legal framework has recently removed certain environmental assessment and public consultation requirements, even though construction timelines for a data center already span 5 to 7 years due to current standards. The utility of these infrastructures, often intended for giants like Amazon, Google, or Microsoft, is being debated. While they host sensitive data for hospitals and government agencies, some observers denounce a technological race between China and the United States. Faced with these challenges, calls for a moratorium are multiplying to suspend ongoing projects, of which 70 to 75 have already been delayed or blocked in Europe and the United States. • "It's a moratorium on data centers. That's what we're talking about, meaning we stop the hundreds of projects currently underway to take the time to understand what we want to do and where we want to put our energy and priority" (Mr. AMIEL Frédéric, 38:24) • "It's a data center that will have a significant electricity consumption of 2,890 gigawatt-hours, which corresponds to 33% of the consumption of Pas-de-Calais" (Speaker 13, 06:31) • "Last year, we voted for a specific legal framework for data centers that removes a certain number of obligations in terms of environmental https://www.youtube.com/embed/PJNXqVcA3sg 2702 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/QmboJd58EEA 2026-11-10 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/QmboJd58EEA/hqdefault.jpg Michel Fayad : «Il est temps que les Gardiens paient la facture» Iranian sabotage cyberattack against supermarkets and infrastructure in France **Freezer sabotage and material damage** "Imagine a supermarket on the night of October 11 to 12, there is no one there, the neon lights are sleeping, the shopping carts too, and somewhere, very far away, someone takes control of a small gray box, the one that regulates the cold of the freezers" — Unknown speaker "So 700 sites affected, about twenty fires started according to the Paris prosecutor, butcher shops, a slaughterhouse and even small power plants.

He believes that the secular and social Republic, founded in 1958 on the principle of government of the people, by the people, and for the people, is suffering. According to him, successive leaders have succumbed to personal ambitions, partisan interests, and the pressures of finance, allowing markets to seize power to the detriment of a State that has become bureaucratic. The speaker emphasizes that the great industrial power built by de Gaulle is now nothing more than a memory. He attributes the collapse of institutions to fifty years of renunciation and cowardice. He cites the General's words in 1969, who warned that refusing social transformations would lead to "disastrous shocks," a situation in which the country now finds itself. Faced with current political and media spectacles, Périco Légasse identifies an absolute priority for the governance elected in 2027: saving the Republic's school system. He considers the school as the foundation of citizenship and social cohesion, asserting that its rescue is the most urgent mission to prevent the Republic itself from never recovering. • "Disastrous shocks, well here we are, my General, Mr. President. And to get out of it, given the distressing political and media spectacles we have been witnessing for a few years, for a few months, but particularly in these last few weeks, well, to get out of it, of all the priorities that will be imposed on the governance designated by the ballot box in May 2027, that of saving the Republic's school system will be by far the most urgent, the most essential, the most paramount, without which the Republic itself might never recover" (Mr. Legasse Perico, 03:57) • "Result: the great industrial power built by de Gaulle, the fundamental guarantee of national wealth, is now nothing more than a pious memory.

He points out that this system, initially anonymous and limited to 100 signatures, has evolved into 500 public sponsorships. According to him, only 12,000 out of 35,000 mayors sponsored a candidate in 2022, while 23,000 refused to do so. Faced with this situation, the president of Les Patriotes proposes replacing the support of elected officials with citizen sponsorship. His plan provides for 150,000 French citizens registered on electoral rolls to directly choose the candidates. He believes that this measure would be much more democratic than the current filter exercised by mayors and deputies. • "And mayors today, you know, in 2022, only 12,000 out of 35,000 mayors sponsored. 23,000 refused to sponsor. So there is a problem now. There is a big problem and we should switch to citizen sponsorship. And 150,000 French people registered on the electoral rolls rather than mayors, rather than elected officials because there are also deputies, it's not just mayors who can sponsor" (Mr. Florian PHILIPPOT, 00:27) • "And 150,000 French people, that is in my project, in the Les Patriotes project, who could directly choose their candidates for the presidential election.

So, well. No, the point is that it was originally really a representativeness filter. It was 100, by the way, and it was anonymous. Later it became 500 and then public" (Mr. Florian PHILIPPOT, 00:10) • "So, precisely, we are looking for them. Sponsorships are difficult.

Marine Le Pen's proposals on VAT reduction and energy The rise in mandatory expenses and energy prices is weighing heavily on citizens. The price of gas has recorded a 40% increase in one year, with a further 5.6% increase scheduled for December 1st. This pressure, combined with rising housing and food costs, makes the situation difficult to sustain for employees, regardless of the minimum wage level. To address this situation, Marine Le Pen proposes lowering the VAT on all energy from 20% to 5.5%. According to Julien Odoul, this measure would allow for an improvement in the purchasing power of the French people of between 150 euros and 200 euros per month. In addition, she plans to implement a basket of 100 essential products, including food and hygiene items, with 0% VAT. • "She obviously has the reduction of VAT on all energy from 20% to 5.5% which will give the French some breathing room, notably with an improvement in their purchasing power of 150 euros to 200 euros per month. And then you have the basket of 100 essential products, food and hygiene products, at 0% VAT" (Mr. Julien Odoul, 00:40) • "Tomorrow, we could raise the minimum wage to 4,000 euros if we wanted to. If you have electricity prices exploding, if you have a baguette of bread going up to 10 euros, it's the same level for employees. Because today the problem is that mandatory charges, the pressure regarding energy prices, electricity, gas which will go up again on December 1st by 5.6%, in one year a 40% increase in the price of gas, and you understand well that our fellow citizens cannot hold on.

So indeed, he was questioned, notably by our colleague Clovis Casali. Jean-Noël Barrot was questioned about the type of sanctions. Clearly, we understood that there will be personalized sanctions against those responsible for these cyberattacks and then a second wave or another wave of sanctions of a different nature.

Benedetti Europe 1: Debate on freedom of expression and threats of censorship The current public debate is marked by a growing desire for censorship, particularly as the presidential election approaches. This issue of freedom of expression should be a major stake in the election, as attacks are targeting both the media world and the academic sphere. A hardening is observed in the fields of culture and intellect, where public opinion often reacts in a majority manner to the issues defended by certain groups. Regarding the media, an LFI petition calling for the shutdown of CNews was dismissed by a parliamentary committee. Although the National Assembly does not have the power to close a channel—this authority falling under Arcom—this initiative illustrates a desire to restrict speech. Some speakers believe that if these groups were to come to power, freedom of expression would no longer exist in France. In the academic and university world, the situation is not new but remains concerning. Speakers are being denied access to universities by the institutions themselves or by student unions because of remarks deemed unpleasant. A symposium on the historian Jacques Bainville was notably contested by academics who considered his work to be politically incorrect. • "There is a growing desire for censorship that we have seen very clearly for a few years, and even more so in recent months, and I think the fact that we are getting closer to the presidential election. Moreover, the question of freedom of expression should be an issue during this presidential election, because there is a real subject in this case given the attacks it is subject to. So, we talk a lot about the media world, but we must also talk about the academic world, right?" (Unknown speaker, 02:30) • "But anyway, how to put it, the National Assembly does not have the power to suppress because it is an independent administrative authority, it is Arcom. It would simply have been a debate but it would have given publicity, if you will, to this debate and to this https://www.youtube.com/embed/V1V7AD9ImX8 256 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/V5BFfZ3O-xw 2026-11-10 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/V5BFfZ3O-xw/hqdefault.jpg Grand entretien avec Emmanuel Moulin Interview with Emmanuel Moulin on the budget, savings, and positions at the ECB France is facing a high level of debt and a yield spread with Germany reaching 140 basis points. To reassure worried investors, it is considered essential to adopt a budget that reduces the public deficit from 5.4% to 5%. This goal is presented as achievable without undermining the French social model, whether through a vote, the use of Article 49.3, or executive orders. Regarding savings, although 80% of French people hold a Livret A, the focus is on developing long-term savings to finance businesses, innovation, and retirement. The Retirement Savings Plan (PER), created by the PACTE law, already has 15 million subscribers with 150 billion euros in assets. While a slight increase in the Livret A ceiling is possible to finance EDF reactors or the renovation of middle schools, the current savings rate of the French is already considered very high. Finally, as France loses the presidency of the ECB, the claim to the position of Chief Economist is considered legitimate. Although the decision rests with the President of the ECB, France has qualified candidates for this position, which it has never held in its history. • "Already, we have a spread, a yield gap between France and Germany, which is high today. We are around 140 basis points, 1.4%, whereas usually we were around half a percentage point. And so, already, the French—well, investors are worried about France. And so, we must reassure them. And what is important to reassure them is to have a budget, and a budget that lowers the deficit" (Unknown speaker, 00:05) • "That is what the government is proposing with a deficit that would drop from 5.4% to 5%. It is not very ambitious, but it is achievable without breaking the French social model at all. And so that is what must be done, to have a budget, whether it is voted on, or through a 49.3, or through executive orders" (Unknown speaker, 00:31) • "So, it is the President of the ECB who decides the assignments of the various members https://www.youtube.com/embed/V5BFfZ3O-xw 147 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/VEAktPa3024 2026-11-10 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/VEAktPa3024/hqdefault.jpg «Ça va impacter nos résultats» : le casse-tête des patrons face à l'augmentation du Smic Impact of the minimum wage (Smic) increase on December 1st on businesses The minimum wage (Smic) will increase by €24 starting December 1st, crossing the €1,500 net threshold. This decision, confirmed by Sébastien Lecornu, has prompted the CGT to call for a day of strikes on November 17, while small business owners are concerned about its implementation. For Yann Orpin, head of the Cleaning Bio group, this unanticipated increase represents a cost of tens of thousands of euros. This loss of earnings directly impacts margins and reduces the company's investment capacity, notably preventing the hiring of apprentices or the purchase of equipment. Maxence Vitez, spokesperson for Medef Lille Métropole, warns of a 'smicardisation' (a trend toward minimum-wage reliance) of society resulting from the revaluation of salary scales. He describes this measure as a ticking time bomb for growth, stating that it increases costs and harms competitiveness as well as the morale of entrepreneurs. • "Europe 1. Europe 1, 6:30 AM, the minimum wage will therefore cross the €1,500 net threshold, Sébastien Lecornu confirmed yesterday. Starting December 1st, it will increase by €24.

While the National Assembly does not have the power to shut down a channel like CNews, a role that falls to Arcom, the recurring debate over such a closure illustrates attacks on freedom of expression that should become a major electoral issue. This climate of restriction extends beyond the media to affect the academic, intellectual, and cultural worlds. At universities, speakers are prevented from presenting due to institutional refusals or student unions. Similarly, a symposium on the historian Jacques Bainville at the Institut was contested by academics who deemed his work politically incorrect.

This phenomenon is occurring even as public opinion often reacts in a majority-supported way on certain subjects, contrary to the issues defended by the groups advocating for these forms of censorship. • "As long as these people do not have power, it is annoying, but obviously if they did, freedom of expression would no longer exist in France.

He believes that every political leader bears a share of responsibility for what he describes as the "ordinary little service of hatred." The elected official denounces the practice of putting targets on the backs of journalists or sorting media into good and bad, whether from the far left or the far right. Having chaired the commission of inquiry into public broadcasting, he specifies that he voted against the closure of CNews despite the labels of "racist" or "fascist" attributed to him. He maintains that CNews must exist in the name of freedom of the press, an indispensable pillar of democracy. Recalling the founding fathers of American democracy like Thomas Jefferson, he emphasizes that the freedom of newspapers is more essential to the State than the government itself. • "When I defended public broadcasting, not the fact that it should be managed as it is, I think it should be better managed, when I defend CNews because I consider that CNews must exist, I do not do it because I belong to a camp, I have no shares in CNews, I have no shares in public broadcasting, but I defend freedom of the press, freedom of the media.

He advocates for the restoration of freedom of expression, pluralism, and the sovereignty of the French people, asserting that even other channels like BFM are now being targeted by accusations of racism. The debate heats up over Florian Philippot's accusations against the President of the Republic, whom he labels a psychopath and for whom he demands impeachment for the crime of high treason. The moderator points out that such personal attacks do not help public debate, while noting that the concept of high treason was included in the Constitution twenty years ago. Finally, the discussion focuses on the principle of accountability for leaders and the despair of the French people. Florian Philippot criticizes the lack of political consequences following urban violence, while other participants recall the responsibility of voters during the 2022 elections. The issue of resorting to a referendum, as demanded by the Yellow Vests, is also raised. • "I was reading back to the crowd that was there the General's remarks on national defense, which can only be French.

He denounces a record he deems catastrophic, citing in particular the Alstom case and the transfers of sovereignty to the European Union. According to him, the current political line on Europe and Ukraine systematically goes against France's interests. Faced with this situation, the president of Les Patriotes advocates for the restoration of the crime of high treason in the Constitution and mentions the possibility of using the article allowing for the president's impeachment. He calls for the restoration of the principle of accountability at the highest level of the state to address the current state of the Republic. Regarding his program, Florian Philippot asserts the necessity of leaving the European Union, the euro, the ECHR, and NATO. He maintains that this exit is essential to solve migration, agricultural, and energy problems. He proposes, in particular, to leave the European energy market so as not to pay for electricity at the German price and thus lower national rates. Finally, the guest expresses his concern regarding a "spirit of censorship" in France, illustrated by the calls for the closure of CNews.

He asserts that no other program can halt the current decline and wishes for the future to be truly French. To fund his campaign, he indicates that his party is well-managed and has money set aside, without the need for a bank loan. His priority is to reduce the number of immigrants by the end of his five-year term, notably by deporting foreign unemployed individuals who have been out of work for more than six months. He plans to organize a referendum on overall migration policy to allow the people to decide, believing that the Constitutional Council has exceeded the role assigned to it by the Constitution. Economically, he announces a recovery plan for public finances involving a reduction in spending and taxes. Finally, he commits to abolishing a law he describes as freedom-killing, accusing judges of interpreting it to prohibit freedom of expression. • "Yes, I confirm it to you, I am indeed a candidate for the presidential election" (Unknown speaker, 00:15) • "I don't just want to control migration flows, I want there to be fewer immigrants by the end of my five-year term" (Unknown speaker, 01:38) • "Second major priority, a major recovery plan for public finances and a reduction in public spending and taxes" (Unknown speaker, 02:02) • "So it is the people who will decide, we will hold a referendum on migration policy overall with, there are many things you know that would be, that would be prohibited in quotes by the Constitutional Council" (Unknown speaker, 04:00) • "Judges interpret a freedom-killing law in this way that I would abolish if I am president, because it allows judges to prohibit freedom of expression" (Unknown speaker, 06:05) https://www.youtube.com/embed/_5dsp05CBW8 453 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/_9NUnOWDIu4 2026-11-10 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/_9NUnOWDIu4/hqdefault.jpg Tirs de mortier : les proviseurs à bout Mobilization of school principals in the face of assaults and mortar fire in high schools **Assaults and injuries to educational staff** "Who is responsible for the assault on the principal of this high school in Bègles?

Le débat des auditeurs de RTL Debate on the petition calling for the closure of the CNews channel on RTL A petition that has gathered over a million signatures is calling for the closure of CNews. For some signatories, this move is symbolic and aims to denounce constant bombardment, discrimination, and incitement to hatred. Listeners are concerned about the channel's influence, citing the case of a man radicalized by its programs, while others defend freedom of expression and the free will of viewers. Legally, deputies must decide what action to take regarding this text, although it is not their place to close a media outlet. Such power in the hands of Parliament would risk the closure of channels like Arte or LCI depending on changes in the majority. Some speakers instead advocate for using the justice system to punish offenses of incitement to racial hatred. CNews is presented as the most sanctioned channel in France since 2017, despite a limited number of financial penalties. Arcom, whose framework for action is overseen by the Council of State, does not have the power to close the channel directly. However, it can ask the Council of State not to renew an agreement or to terminate it. • "Well, because the deputies must decide in the coming minutes what action to take on this petition.

It is a form of institutional and class-based violence that manifests through social sorting via Parcoursup, leaving young people without studies, and through undignified learning conditions in dilapidated institutions. This situation is accompanied by police repression deemed unprecedented. Workers who participated in past high school movements note that the current violence has no historical equivalent. The systematic use of tear gas is now frequent, whereas it was previously taken seriously. This state violence is considered incomparable to property damage or burning trash cans. • "This violence does not stem from high school demonstrations and mobilizations. This violence stems from the government. It is a violence that is institutional, it is a class-based violence that has been there for a very long time. When we have young people who find themselves without studies after Parcoursup, young people who undergo social sorting, when we have to study under a ceiling that is collapsing with rats around us, and when we have police repression that is indeed unprecedented" (Unknown speaker, 00:00) • "Finally, who was simply shocked by this repression.

This text establishes an obligation for major advertisers to direct a portion of their online advertising budget toward digital political and general information press. It also enshrines the principle of copyright via neighboring rights, with a vote expected in the National Assembly before the end of the year. At the same time, the bill on public integrity proposes adapting existing tools by creating a penalty payment system intended to replace criminal sanctions. Parliamentary work on these subjects must be completed before the end of February. Regarding regulation, the government reiterates that Arcom has its own powers within a constitutional framework of freedom of communication. On the social and economic front, a reform of general payroll tax relief will begin next year to avoid low-wage traps. The government also confirms the tax exemption for overtime up to 10,000 euros and the continuation of the fuel allowance fund. A monitoring committee will be set up to evaluate these announcements in the face of inflation. Finally, faced with digital security challenges, the bill on resilience is being debated to protect non-strategic companies against interference. This action complements the Prime Minister's roadmap on state digital security, which is being implemented in each ministry. • "The bill that I had the honor of presenting this morning is part of a much broader issue, as you have noted, Mr. Minister, which aims to defend a free, independent press grappling with unprecedented technological upheaval" (Ms. Catherine Pégard, 04:28) • "the bill on public integrity, which stems from a reflection and a report issued by the president of the High Authority herself, aims to evolve and adapt the tools we have equipped ourselves with for 12 years now" (Mr. Laurent Panifous, 01:16) • "It establishes an obligation that will weigh on https://www.youtube.com/embed/ahIu92frhFc 2695 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/b7du40rAz3M 2026-11-10 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/b7du40rAz3M/hqdefault.jpg Highlights Córdoba, Holy Mass, November 10, 2026 – Pope Leo XIV Highlights Córdoba, Holy Mass, November 10, 2026 – Pope Leo XIV **Peter's confession and the mystery of God** "The confession of Peter, which resonates throughout history in his successors, reveals to us the mystery of God revealed in Christ" — Unknown speaker • "The confession of Peter, which resonates throughout history in his successors, reveals to us the mystery of God revealed in Christ" (Unknown speaker, 00:35) https://www.youtube.com/embed/b7du40rAz3M 58 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/bmbQUJsg6VQ 2026-11-10 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/bmbQUJsg6VQ/hqdefault.jpg "Faut-il un mort pour que la violence cesse ?" : Valérie Pécresse après l'agression à Chelles Valérie Pécresse reacts to the assault on an elected official at a high school in Chelles A regional councilor was targeted by a 1.5-liter bottle of gasoline thrown at her while she was intervening to stop a trash fire. This act is classified as criminal because it carries the risk of killing someone. While some students claim it was an accident, the intent to harm and burn down the high school is being denounced. The movement is becoming radicalized with mortar fire inside the schools and fireworks set off in classrooms or hallways. Faced with this situation, a call is being made for all citizens to mobilize so that this violence ceases. Regarding security, the effectiveness of security gates is being questioned because they only detect metals. The solution lies in human presence and a message promoted by everyone within the schools regarding the values of the Republic and non-violence. • "She intervened to stop the trash fire and a bottle of gasoline was thrown at her, so she was hit head-on by a 1.5L bottle of gasoline" (Unknown speaker, 02:17) • "Today, throwing a bottle of gasoline at a person is a criminal act.

He supports Marine Le Pen's candidacy on behalf of the National Rally and the alliance built with Éric Ciotti's UDR. On the economic and social front, he mentions the introduction of a capitalization tier presented in the counter-budget of Jordan Bardella and Jean-Philippe Tanguy. The deputy defends France as one of the least racist countries in the world, opposing the views of figures such as Pap Ndiaye. He rejects any institutionalized discrimination, whether positive or negative. A speaker also points out that anonymous CVs can be detrimental to young people from disadvantaged neighborhoods by preventing recruiters from taking their complex social backgrounds into account. Regarding the petition targeting CNews, Charles Alloncle points out that the opening or removal of a channel is the responsibility of Arcom and not the National Assembly. He denounces an attempt at censorship by Jean-Luc Mélenchon and the far-left. He expresses concern over the refusal of some students or union members to speak to the channel's microphones, calling on the Assembly to consolidate freedom of opinion and expression in the face of accusations of racism also targeting TF1. • "Marine Le Pen is the candidate of the National Rally, she is also the candidate of a beautiful alliance that we built and founded with Éric Ciotti a little over 2 years ago with the UDR" (Unknown speaker, 04:21) • "So also in the Assembly, we are here to demand and consolidate this freedom of opinion and expression" (Mr. Charles Alloncle, 08:33) • "First, what must be explained to the French people is that it is not the National Assembly that decides on the removal or opening of a channel, it is Arcom" (Unknown speaker, 06:48) • "I think we can take a step back and see that there is a profusion of candidates https://www.youtube.com/embed/bzY8BU_5rB0 541 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/c4DSjj63kGI 2026-11-10 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/c4DSjj63kGI/hqdefault.jpg Yves Carra : «Quand on a la carte grise, l’adresse et le type de voiture, c’est un vrai risque.» Cyberattack on 23 million drivers: the risks associated with data theft A cyberattack has led to the theft of data concerning 23 million drivers. The stolen information includes vehicle registration documents, addresses, and car models. This combination of information poses a major risk because it allows for the precise location of vehicles, particularly luxury or sports models, in response to specific orders. The theft of this data also facilitates the reproduction of license plates. This practice, which is already on the rise, leads to legitimate plate owners receiving traffic tickets for offenses they did not commit. In response, the government is working to secure the vehicle registration system. Beyond the theft of data and money, technological evolution raises fears of physical risk. Hacking into the systems of autonomous vehicles could allow for their operation to be disrupted. This threat explains why Europe is currently slowing down the deployment of these vehicles. • "At what address, for what type of car, rather than searching. So it's a major risk, and then there's also what is quite classic and what is unfortunately already happening a lot and more and more, so the government is in the process of reviewing the registration system to make it more secure, it's the reproduction of license plates with all the risks that can come with that, that is to say receiving traffic tickets that aren't yours, etc., etc. But I would say that when you have the registration document, the address, and the type of car, that is a real risk" (Unknown speaker, 00:17) • "In any case, the registration document, because you need the registration document for the technical inspection, and then what was also stolen is the type of car.

However, others believe that a candidacy for the Presidency of the Republic discredits the election and what the president should be.

Combating racism and the status of victims following the Trappes attack Following the Trappes attack, a consensus is emerging on the need to classify this act as racist terrorism. Arthur Dénouveaux highlights the importance of this legal clarification by the authorities, while warning against rapid political exploitation that could hystericize the debate. Maboula Soumahoro insists that racism must be named and fought immediately, lamenting that victim status is not always automatically granted to certain individuals. The question of the hierarchy of victims is at the heart of the discussions. Maboula Soumahoro mentions a victim status that is sometimes precarious when one still has to demonstrate the existence of discrimination. For his part, Arthur Dénouveaux recalls, through the experience of November 13, that there must be no gradation among victims in the face of political violence, as all are part of the nation. Regarding solutions, the speakers call for an analysis of the trajectories of violence and a rigorous application of existing laws before creating new ones. While civil society must take hold of these subjects to compel politicians to act, the State must also know how to listen to what is happening outside of institutions. Finally, respecting the time for mourning and the privacy of families remains paramount in the face of the symbolic and public dimension imposed by victim status. • "No, I am extremely in agreement that this terrorist attack should be qualified as racist; it seems to me to be a completely necessary legal clarification which, moreover, is made by the authorities" (Arthur Dénouveaux, 03:32) • "Oh no, I am entirely in agreement, for that matter, from January 1st, 12:00 AM, until December 31st, 12:00 AM, we must fight racism, we must name it" (Arthur Dénouveaux, 06:57) • "But I think we can also come back, look at things in a slightly more global way, rise a little higher and take an interest, let's say, in the very status of victims. And that there is indeed a hierarchy" (Maboula https://www.youtube.com/embed/dRptWA60oMc 2281 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/dWkpgwAl60o 2026-11-10 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/dWkpgwAl60o/hqdefault.jpg Kévin Bossuet : «L'important, dans l'École, c'est la neutralité» Kévin Bossuet on neutrality in schools and the values of November 11th **Commemoration and the transmission of values** "In a class of 27-28, in your opinion, if you ask the question, if you ask them what we are commemorating on November 11th?

However, she warns of the risk of the "smicardisation of the country" (the country becoming reliant on minimum wage) linked to the compression of salary scales, which could catch up with technicians and supervisors. The union's priority is now the opening of negotiations within professional branches and companies within 15 days. A monitoring committee with the Ministry of Labor is set to ensure these discussions proceed properly. The CFE-CGC is not joining the calls for mobilization on November 17th for the time being, preferring to give fair negotiation a chance. Regarding social security contribution relief, Christelle Thieffine wishes to reduce companies' dependence on state aid for paying salaries. She believes that companies must be autonomous in remunerating their employees. Finally, she requests that private sector wage increases also be implemented in the public sector via the index point. • "So, indeed, there must be negotiations, because for the people I represent at the CFE-CGC, what I see is a major risk of salary scale compression. When you raise the minimum wage, well, in fact, all the employees who are above it, technicians and supervisors in particular, also need their salaries to be increased, because otherwise, you know what? They will be caught up by the minimum wage, caught up by low wages, and that is the smicardisation of the country" (Unknown speaker, 01:06) • "Listen, in these negotiations, we have already requested openings very quickly in the professional branches.

He sets a goal for France to become the leading power in Europe within ten years, which requires restoring authority in the face of the normalization of violence among minors and protecting secularism against digital interference. Economically, he highlights Europe's massive lag in artificial intelligence. He proposes using public procurement to foster sovereign champions, noting that a productivity gain similar to that of the United States would raise the French median salary to 3,300 euros net. He also suggests reforming the state via a "spoils system" and managing pensions based on contribution duration rather than the legal age. Faced with the risk of a runoff between Jean-Luc Mélenchon and Marine Le Pen, Gabriel Attal says he is ready to participate in a primary.

The price of services excluding housing shows an annualized increase of 5.5% over the last three months. Consequently, US rates are tightening, with the 10-year US Treasury yield approaching 5%. This situation reinforces the probability of a Fed intervention by the end of the year. Wall Street specialists now anticipate rate hikes in December, March, and another one following that. Although a 50-basis-point hike in December is being discussed, a 25-basis-point scenario seems more likely to avoid stalling the economic engine. At the same time, oil prices are easing, with Brent crude falling back below $90. This decline, linked to an oversupplied market in October, is benefiting Europe. However, a simple lull in oil prices would not be enough to justify the FOMC refraining from a rate hike in December. • "And from one month to the next, excluding food and energy, we are seeing inflation above expectations, Christopher" (Unknown speaker, 00:10) • "He started saying that he was not opposed to a fifty-basis-point hike, not twenty-five, fifty in December" (Unknown speaker, 01:40) • "And on the Wall Street specialist side, now we are anticipating, yes, a rate hike in December, which could reach fifty basis points, a rate hike in March, and probably one right after" (Unknown speaker, 01:51) • "These oil prices are easing, therefore, to their lowest levels since August; Brent has fallen back below $90, which is doing a lot of good for Europe, which we kept saying was more dependent than the United States" (Unknown speaker, 04:33) • "If you look at the price of services excluding housing, we are at an annualized increase of 5.5% over the last three months" (Unknown speaker, 00:25) https://www.youtube.com/embed/h3zhmc9VwbY 290 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/h41hmk4VgzQ 2026-11-10 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/h41hmk4VgzQ/hqdefault.jpg Alexandre Portier : «Il y a eu dans la foulée du vote des pratiques beaucoup plus inquiétantes» Committee on Cultural Affairs: Alexandre Portier denounces the blacklisting of deputies Following the vote to dismiss the petition aimed at closing CNEWS, Alexandre Portier highlights a sharp divide between a left-wing bloc wishing to suppress the channel and a right-wing bloc committed to freedom of expression. He points out that Parliament does not have the authority to ban channels in France. The committee chair denounces disturbing practices by LFI, which published the names and photos of the deputies who voted for the dismissal on social media. These lists are presented as lists of suspects or targets, which raises concerns about the personal safety of the elected officials and their families. This orchestration of conflict by the far-left is considered extremely worrying for democratic debate. Alexandre Portier insists that the right to vote freely in the National Assembly must be respected once the vote has concluded. • "There are a certain number of deputies who found it useful to point fingers as if it were suspicious now to vote in the National Assembly, to post lists.

These remarks, made on the sidelines of official sessions, are not supported by sufficient degrees of certainty according to IPCC reports. This process creates an illusory truth effect that can directly influence the technical positions of European negotiators and agreements between states. In the French media, certain newsrooms such as CNews, Europe 1, Sud Radio, or RMC are identified as relays for this disinformation. Eva Morel highlights that Vincent Bolloré uses his media outlets as ideological organs and vectors of influence. The environmental subject is turned into a conflict there to accentuate political divisions. Disinformation also creeps into other newsrooms through the invitation of political or economic figures linked to corporations. These media outlets, sometimes placing less importance on environmental issues, lack the technical elements to counter the statements made by their guests. • "And there were negotiators from the European delegation who are science specialists who were present in the audience and who said: 'It's surprising because the majority of the solutions advocated by this scientist, in reality, are not considered consensual at all and are not cited with sufficient degrees of certainty in the IPCC reports for us to consider that one can express oneself like that.' Except that it took place in the interval between two negotiation sessions. And so it is highly possible that it subsequently impacted negotiation positions on topics on which the States agreed in that particular room" (Unknown speaker, 00:06) • "For example CNews, Europe 1, Sud Radio, RMC.

According to him, this hostility emanates from an intolerant minority that opposes the channel precisely because a poll shows that the French are largely in favor of it. He also criticizes the media coverage of the petition targeting the channel, accusing Le Monde and France Inter of legal dishonesty by using the term "buried" rather than "dismissed." For the speaker, this desire to silence the channel because of its popularity demonstrates an intolerance that is embedded even in the vocabulary used. Finally, he expresses his sadness regarding this situation, stating that while these attacks do not insult him personally, they cause him deep pain for France. • "Moreover, Le Monde and France Inter used the same vocabulary. They didn't say the petition was dismissed, they said the petition was buried. Which is a blatant legal lie. But I mean, intolerance is embedded even in the vocabulary of these people.

He relies on a LICRA survey conducted among 15,000 people in April to emphasize that while discrimination is not systemic, it particularly affects visible minorities such as Black people, Asians, Roma, as well as Muslims. Such discrimination is now increasing in schools and public services, leading to avoidance strategies and consequences for the mental health of victims. Faced with this, Alexandre Devecchio expresses a more lenient position regarding the remarks made abroad, believing that a representative should not condemn their own country, while acknowledging that no one can deny the existence of racism. The debate also highlights rising tensions in a fractured country. In addition to racism, antisemitism is mentioned, particularly that present in the suburbs or stemming from the far-left, marking an evolution of fractures within French society. • "And I find it scandalous first of all, I say it, after the Trappes crime, that one could address the French population, but from abroad, by saying: there is no discrimination in France and France is the least racist country in the world. I find that, I find that, I was going to say abject, that's the term that comes to mind, and what's more, it's false, it's stupid. There you go.

Claude Moniquet analyzes the resumption of trilateral negotiations between Ukraine and Russia The negotiations are taking place under the aegis of the Americans in a trilateral format including the Russians and the Ukrainians. Although the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and European institutions may be consulted to offer guarantees or funding, they are not participating in the main negotiations. This absence of Europe at the main table is highlighted as the discussions could focus on the global security architecture in Europe. Expectations remain limited because positions diverge: Ukraine demands an immediate ceasefire without legal recognition of Russian annexations, while Russia wishes to recover the entirety of Donetsk. The Americans, represented by Jared Kushner, advocate for a mixed solution and wish to broaden the debate to global European security, making the outcome of an agreement still distant. • "So, as you said Romain, it is happening under the aegis of the Americans, so it is a trilateral format. There are around the table the Americans of course, the Russians and the Ukrainians, three delegations therefore. And the Europeans will be present but not in the main negotiations. The United Kingdom, France, Germany and the European institutions will be able to be consulted to in fact offer guarantees or funding for agreements whose conditions they would not have negotiated. Which is still a bit peculiar" (Unknown speaker, 00:00) • "So, what we can expect from it is actually not much. It is more of a clarification of positions, but we already know them. Ukraine does not want, wants an immediate ceasefire on the front lines and without legal recognition of the annexations made by Russia. Russia, for its part, wants to recover the whole of Donetsk, including what is still occupied by Ukraine, and the Americans want a mixed solution.

I regret that there is no longer, and we will bring it back by the way, the crime of high treason in our Constitution which was removed around the years 2007-2008 and which should be reintroduced because this man, on several occasions, on the domestic and foreign level, has betrayed France" (Unknown speaker, 00:49) • "It is your role, but I say that he has traits of a sociopath, of a psychopath in the sense that he is still one of the rare presidents who spent his time pitting the French against each other, saying 'I really want to piss off millions of people,' playing dirty tricks, saying 'I am throwing a grenade' during the dissolution at the feet of the French people.

This situation is exacerbated by fragmented professional careers and persistent wage gaps. It is emphasized that women must absolutely gain access to financial literacy. Marriage remains presented as the best form of protection. Conversely, people in cohabitation have no rights, even with children or shared assets. In this case, the tax authorities take 60% of the estate, which may force the sale of the house. Without marriage, the survivor risks losing their home because protection is closed to those in a civil partnership (PACS) and cohabitants. Regarding retirement, only a married spouse can benefit from a portion of their partner's pension. For supplementary schemes like Agirc-Arrco or liberal professions, there is no ceiling, but this benefit is lost in the event of remarriage. Finally, if there are children from a previous union, it is advised to consult a notary to establish a separation of property agreement. • "It is closed to those in a civil partnership and even more so to cohabitants. So indeed, not always, but the best protection is still marriage" (Unknown speaker, 01:08) • "If you are cohabiting, the tax authorities will take 60% of what you have.

Praud face à un historien L'Heure des Pros: Olivier Dard analyzes the Rassemblement National and nationalism Historian Olivier Dard suggests characterizing the Rassemblement National as a nationalist right-wing movement rather than as far-right. This nationalism is defined by an emphasis on the absolute primacy of the nation, national preference, and the perception of a threat looming over the country. He highlights that the movement has succeeded in gaining considerable influence at the ballot box, with Marine Le Pen having built a political force capable of contending for an electoral victory. Populism is described as a desire to defend a people perceived as being under attack by elites. This sentiment is particularly present in peripheral France, where territories feel excluded from the political process. The historian also notes a major tactical difference between the Rassemblement National and the former Front National regarding their relationship with street protests. Regarding Jean-Luc Mélenchon, Olivier Dard believes it is unnecessary to invoke the term fascism to discuss violence or radicalism, preferring to speak of a form of populism originating from Latin America. Finally, he recalls that in the past, General de Gaulle's RPF was also likened to a return of fascism during the Cold War. • "Today, if you want my opinion, I consider that what matters and what should be taken into account to characterize the Rassemblement National is not the term far-right, but the term nationalist right" (Speaker 20, 01:18) • "Today, this French nationalism has succeeded through the Rassemblement National in doing what had never been achieved before, that is to say, considerable influence at the ballot box" (Speaker 20, 02:01) • "Marine Le Pen and the Rassemblement National have managed to build over time a true political force that is, as we speak, capable of contending for an electoral victory" (Speaker 13, 12:46) • "The definition of populism is several things, if you will.

One in three women becomes a widow after age 60. Faced with this risk, marriage remains the strongest protection, as those in a civil partnership (PACS) or cohabitation do not inherit automatically without a will and may lose their home to heirs. The right to a portion of a spouse's pension to live on is reserved for married spouses, excluding civil partners or cohabitants. This survivor's pension can, however, be lost in the event of remarriage. For unmarried couples, life insurance represents an option because it allows for a largely tax-exempt transfer without being subject to the usual taxation between cohabitants. It is recommended to consult a notary to establish a separation of property agreement, especially in the presence of children from a previous union, in order to equalize situations. Finally, women's access to a genuine financial culture is presented as a necessity to overcome these imbalances. • "One in three women becomes a widow after age 60; it's one in two after age 75. Obviously, it's a psychological shock, but it's also an economic shock, and that is even more true for unmarried women" (Unknown speaker, 00:00) • "Well, it's closed, it's closed to people in a civil partnership (PACS) and even more so to cohabitants.

Emmanuel Moulin points out that this level remains higher than that of European neighbors, notably Germany and the Netherlands which are below 5%, or Italy at 7%. He believes that further progress is still needed to reach full employment. Regarding the 1.6% increase in the minimum wage (Smic), the Governor of the Banque de France recalls that this salary is already indexed to inflation to protect purchasing power. However, he notes that 12% of the population is on the minimum wage and that government-mandated boosts tend to compress the wage scale, limiting salary growth for those just above that level. Despite an environment marked by strong geopolitical and social uncertainties, the Banque de France forecasts moderately positive growth in the fourth quarter. Surveys conducted among 8,500 companies show resilience, particularly in the defense and aeronautics industries, as well as in market services, although the restaurant sector is suffering from social unrest. • "No, I think that for the quarter it is actually good news, 0.1 is a stability in the unemployment rate. It is indeed increasing because the economic situation has been rather gloomy lately and we have a very difficult international environment. But what we must also see is that the French unemployment rate remains higher than those of our European neighbors. Most of our northern neighbors, in Germany, in the Netherlands, we have unemployment rates that are below 5%. Even the Italians are today below the French unemployment rate, at 7%" (Unknown speaker, 00:22) • "With Emmanuel Moulin, Governor of the Banque de France, hello and welcome.

Between November 1st and 8th, actual price drops exceeded these promises, reaching -27 cents at Carrefour and -26 cents at Leclerc and Intermarché. This decrease is explained by the addition of falling global oil prices to the government's measures. Despite these figures, the drop has gone unnoticed by consumers. This phenomenon is explained by confirmation bias: users notice price increases more than decreases. Furthermore, fuel prices are still perceived as high, remaining around 2 euros per liter, which limits the sense of relief. The situation is compared to that of sunflower oil at the start of the war in Ukraine. After tripling in price, it returned to its pre-war level, or about 1.60 euros for a one-liter bottle for the cheapest products, without it being a topic of discussion anymore. • "Yes, as we have been saying since this morning, they have even dropped much more than what was promised to us. With the Carbu Tracker app, I measure it every day, brand by brand. And here are the results from November 1st to 8th over a full week, so the first full week of price drops: we are at -27 cents at Carrefour, you hear that, -27 cents, -26 cents for Leclerc and Intermarché, -24 cents at Match.

Attribution of refrigeration equipment hacking to Iran and the French government's response The French government claims that Iran is responsible for a temperature rise of up to 50 degrees in freezers. The investigation, conducted by the DGSI, DGSE, ANSSI, and OFAC, identified the digital signature of Shahid Kaveh, a branch of the Revolutionary Guards. This same unit had previously claimed responsibility for attacks on Israeli refrigeration equipment in 2026 and conducted massive reconnaissance attacks on Schneider industrial control systems, notably on small hydroelectric dams.

The mayor is in favor of it. It involves an 18-hole course that would be installed where the gigantic firebreak is located, which was created in an emergency this summer to prevent the spread of fires. It would be a useful support point for firefighters in the event of a forest fire, specifically, says the elected official. On site, we find our correspondents Lucie Berbey and Thierry Breton" — Unknown speaker "Could this strip of forest, razed in the heart of summer to serve as a firebreak and protect the peninsula from fires, soon be transformed into a golf course?

In the municipality of Lège-Cap-Ferret, this morning, the project is dividing opinion" — Unknown speaker "The mayor of the municipality obviously sees a tourist attraction in it, but not only that. Today, the firebreak is partly on municipal land. This golf course, managed by private developers, could save the city money" — Unknown speaker **Arguments for maintenance and economy** "So, maintaining the firebreak is expensive.

L'historien Olivier Dard livre son analyse Historical analysis of General de Gaulle and the national question by Olivier Dard General de Gaulle's positioning is described as complex, situated at the crossroads of several traditions. Rather than simply labeling him a nationalist, the analysis places him among those who were called "nationals" during the interwar period. His thought is based on a fundamental matrix: that of social Catholicism. Although he grasped the national question between 1940 and 1944, de Gaulle was the subject of sharp criticism a few decades later. During the Algerian War, figures such as Jean-Marie Le Pen criticized him by specifically mobilizing the concept of nationalism. • "Yes, well it's... Not at all. That is to say, he is at the crossroads of several traditions. He is, moreover, at the crossroads of what we used to call—because there is nationalism and there are nationals. He is rather at the crossroads of what were called the nationals in the interwar period" (Unknown speaker, 00:05) • "There is also in him a matrix that is very important, and that is why I was talking about catho- about traditionalism, which is the matrix of social Catholicism. I think that is fundamental in his case, second element. And the third element that obviously characterizes him is the possibility that was his to play the role that we know he played in history. But at the same time, General de Gaulle succeeded, at the moment he began—he who is a military man—his political career, in grasping, in his own way, the national question at the time, effectively, of 1940-1944" (Unknown speaker, 00:17) • "who precisely spoke of nationalism and in particular a figure like Jean-Marie Le Pen who played a role in this history" (Unknown speaker, 01:02) • "But I remind you that a few decades later, at the time of the Algerian War, precisely, he was extremely criticized by other figures" (Unknown speaker, 00:17) https://www.youtube.com/embed/oyxW2OYN5KY 75 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/p261Op-ejX8 2026-11-10 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/p261Op-ejX8/hqdefault.jpg Pétition contre CNews : «Il y a une terreur qu'une certaine gauche veut instaurer», alerte M. Fayad Debate on the petition against CNews at the National Assembly and audiovisual pluralism The National Assembly's Committee on Cultural Affairs is set to rule on a petition calling for the removal of CNews, which has gathered over one million signatures. Hélène Rouet recalls that Arcom has already decided not to renew C8's frequency, an act she describes as unspeakably serious. She also emphasizes that Arcom's role is to intervene in cases of non-compliance. Catherine Pégard asserts that no one has the right to cherry-pick journalists, while Michel Fayad mentions a desire to block the opening toward greater pluralism. According to one speaker, the interest in CNews is explained by the mention of facts and realities not heard elsewhere, presented under the banner of pluralism. The climate surrounding the media is marked by tensions: BFM teams are being targeted, and the TF1 8 PM news anchor is accused of relaying racist conspiracies. Hélène Rouet warns against far-left mobs, stating that silence will not protect anyone. Finally, Michel Fayad mentions the hypothesis of privatizing public service broadcasting if Marine Le Pen wins. • "The National Assembly's Committee on Cultural Affairs must decide today whether to dismiss or examine the petition calling for the removal of CNews from French broadcasting, which surpassed one million signatures this weekend" (Clélie Mathias, 00:09) • "We also lived in a country where Arcom decided not to renew a frequency and did not renew C8, which was, even though we moved on very quickly, of unspeakable gravity" (Hélène Rouet, 06:13) • "No one has the right to choose their journalists, no one has the right to cherry-pick among journalists. Journalists can ask their questions, and those being questioned have the freedom not to answer them" (Ms. Catherine Pégard, 00:52) • "Why is there interest in CNews?

Gabriel Attal on France Inter: A primary to unite from social democracy to the republican right Gabriel Attal advocates for organizing a primary to designate a candidate capable of preventing a runoff between the National Rally (Rassemblement National) and La France Insoumise. He claims to be currently the only one defending a line that unites the French people from social democracy to the republican right. Participation in this vote would be open to those who refuse any present or future alliance with the extremes. Economically, the stated goal is to reduce payroll taxes to bring net pay closer to gross pay. For an employee earning the median salary of €2,200 net, this would represent a gain of €250 per month. To finance these measures, a "blank year" on state spending is proposed, as well as a territorial reform aimed at eliminating administrative redundancies to save between €7 and €10 billion. Faced with what is described as a civilizational shift in youth violence, the project plans to put authority back at the center of schools and reform juvenile criminal justice. In parallel, the generalization of hiring tests is suggested to measure and combat discrimination linked to social or geographical origins. Finally, Gabriel Attal emphasizes that his differences with other candidates in this republican arc are minor compared to those concerning support for Ukraine. He recalls that the stake of this primary is to avoid having the French people forced to vote in the second round for a candidate they disagree with in order to block Marine Le Pen. • "We must create momentum through debates, through a vote that allows for the designation of a candidate who will be in a position to be in the second round and prevent this duel" (Unknown speaker, 16:25) • "We will have to bring together French people who range from social democracy to the republican right.

Today, what will the increase in the Smic do? It will compress wages, meaning the Smic will go up" — Unknown speaker "No, we are not against it, but we must tell people the truth. It will lead to wage compression, meaning all salaries above the Smic will increase little or poorly because the economy is sluggish. The reality is that today, if you remove the little statistical manipulation from the second quarter, France is in recession, and I regret it because, contrary to what members of the government say, France is the laggard. All countries in Europe are growing, the United States is growing, and France has been the laggard for 20 years" — Unknown speaker "But that doesn't exist. It doesn't exist because production in France today, the capacity of companies, small and medium-sized enterprises, but also slightly larger companies, to pay these salaries does not exist because growth is sluggish, activity is weak, productivity is weak, and taxes are very high in our country, notably because of Mr. Mélenchon's friends, the socialists, and the bad agreements they made with the Macronists last year. Taxes only keep increasing on businesses and households. If it weren't for all these tax increases, it would be easier to live on one's salary" — Unknown speaker **VAT reduction and purchasing power** "Yes, we are all looking for solutions to increase salaries. Today, I don't see how it's possible given the economic context. The only way is to improve purchasing power by lowering mandatory expenses, by making life less expensive.

Heatwave periods will now extend from May to October, directly impacting today's youth as they enter the workforce, as well as future elderly populations. Faced with this reality, solutions and trajectories have already been developed by the General Secretariat for Ecological Planning (SGPE). The challenge now lies in the political choices to be made among the various possible paths, whether they are left-wing, right-wing, or centrist. It is necessary to discuss, especially during a presidential election year, which path to take while taking into account social, budgetary, and fiscal constraints to address the legitimate concerns of young people about their future. • "I am sad because when I see these young people in the street and I am not here to play politics, I have children, I have students, they are right to be worried. What they are telling us behind that, and you are talking about the flip side, is our future. What kind of future are we preparing for them? These young people, they will have, they are already feeling the full force of the impacts of climate change.

They could therefore choose to work more overtime, and management would also find it beneficial." — Unknown speaker "It's a very good solution.

Political decisions and fiscal rebalancing mechanisms distance the gains of growth from those who produce them. Even topics like the retirement age, which relate to the wealth produced, are not addressed from the perspective of growth. The artificial intelligence sector highlights issues of sovereignty and security. Nvidia occupies a strategic global position, but the concentration of power around its leader is perceived as a weak link. At the same time, competition with China is marked by intense espionage, affecting companies like SpaceX, while trade relations impose a certain pragmatism between unfaithful allies and partner enemies. The development of data centers in Europe is sparking growing opposition, similar to that observed in the United States. Yet, these infrastructures are essential to the AI value chain and represent a potential investment of 210 billion euros over ten years. The challenge is to ensure their local acceptability, particularly by controlling the impact on electricity prices and leveraging the asset of decarbonized energy. Beyond the technological aspect, data centers raise the question of value ownership and the impact on public finances. While the maintenance of these sites generates activity, the reform of production taxes has weakened the link between the economy and local authorities. These infrastructures could nevertheless help solve supply and demand dynamics issues while adding GDP points. • "It is the company that holds the access key to AI, or rather to the most sophisticated AI on which an entire ecosystem currently relies, which itself involves hundreds and thousands of billions of dollars on a global scale" (Unknown speaker, 14:35) • "When we do our little calculations, we run our models, and we actually arrive at 210 billion in investments over 10 years; that is considerable" (Unknown speaker, 22:10) • https://www.youtube.com/embed/qZcKtHyWHtI 1602 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/qqnL37l5BX4 2026-11-10 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/qqnL37l5BX4/hqdefault.jpg Hausse du Smic : Les entreprises françaises redoutent une perte de compétitivité Impact of the minimum wage (SMIC) increase and employer payroll tax relief The SMIC will increase by €25 net per month on December 1st, surpassing the threshold of €1,500 net per month. This revaluation accentuates the compression of the wage scale in France, as the gap with the median salary of €2,190 becomes increasingly narrow. The French system relies on employer payroll tax relief measures implemented since 1993 to promote low-skilled employment. However, this mechanism creates a "low-wage trap": for a minimum wage employee to earn an additional €100 in disposable income, the total cost to the employer amounts to nearly €500 due to the sharp rise in social charges. The State, which spends approximately €80 billion on reducing labor costs, is now seeking to make savings. The increase in the SMIC, combined with the reduction in tax relief, significantly raises the cost of labor. This situation can lead to a loss of competitiveness, as companies must increase their selling prices to offset wage hikes, unlike imported products. • "Yes, that is what we call the low-wage trap. It's not a Daniel Pennac novel, it's an economic concept to summarize broadly. Because of these payroll tax reliefs, an employer has no incentive to give a raise to an employee paid at the minimum wage because the charges increase suddenly, so much so that for a minimum wage employee, if we want their disposable income to increase by €100, a report by two economists demonstrated that the cost to the employer, the total cost, was nearly €500. This effect is amplified by other mechanisms besides the SMIC, notably the activity bonus. The trap has already closed on our economy" (Unknown speaker, 00:57) • "Our minimum wage will therefore rise on December 1st to €1,502 net per month. The median salary is €2,190 net per month; it is the smallest gap that exists, and it perfectly illustrates the phenomenon we have in our economy that characterizes it: the compression of the wage scale" (Unknown speaker, 01:29) • "Time for the numbers now, Baptiste https://www.youtube.com/embed/qqnL37l5BX4 185 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/rS3xP12RQiI 2026-11-10 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/rS3xP12RQiI/hqdefault.jpg USA : l'inflation au dessus des attentes en octobre 📈 United States: Persistent inflationary pressures in October and Fed reactions **Inflationary pressure and indicators** "Hello.

The U.S. President is maintaining a naval blockade and continuing strikes in the Strait of Hormuz, particularly on Qeshm Island. This situation is affecting maritime traffic and has contributed to rising prices, a determining factor in the recent U.S. midterm elections. Regarding Ukraine, Russia continues its attacks on energy infrastructure to deprive Ukrainians of heating as winter approaches. Moscow is currently refusing a ceasefire without guarantees for the future, while its positions have not evolved in four and a half years. A fundraiser is intended to help repair the sarcophagus of the Chernobyl power plant. Europeans, concerned about their geographical proximity, refuse to be left out.

This change in pH makes animals with calcareous skeletons vulnerable, thereby threatening the maintenance of food chains. In response to rising water temperatures, marine animals are migrating en masse from the equatorial belt toward the poles at a speed of approximately 6 km per year. This rapid depletion of resources primarily affects the most needy areas, where industrial fishing traditionally operates. These phenomena, combined with rising sea levels and coastal submersion, create a situation of major risk for the most vulnerable populations. • "We have both warming that is accelerating, which is also compounded by consequences related to our CO2 emissions on ocean acidification, which has consequences on the very capacity to maintain food chains with animals that form calcareous skeletons that are minimized, actually made vulnerable by the difference in the ocean's pH.

Thomas Ménagé expresses his agreement on ending the minority excuse, specifying that this should become the exception. Economically, the issue of the 3 trillion euro public debt is raised to justify the impossibility of lowering VAT on gasoline. Furthermore, a "youth pact" is announced by Gabriel Attal's camp for the month of November, aiming to meet the expectations of young citizens.

Thomas Ménagé rejects the idea of systemic racism, asserting that the French people show great open-mindedness compared to other countries and refusing any "self-flagellation." He denounces non-mixed meetings and the use of the term "racialized people."

He describes an organization where about twenty "mini-revolutionaries" block the schools every morning until the principals cancel the day. According to him, the goal of these blockers is to prevent any adult from entering, using flares and fireworks to do so. The elected official firmly denounces the complicity of certain parents who encourage their children not to go to school and to participate in the blockades. He also implicates a portion of the teaching staff who allegedly accompany the youths and organize the rotation of blockers between different high schools. Sylvain Maillard criticizes parents who use their children to wage a political battle, leaving them to be "academically massacred." Faced with parent and student meetings deemed "infiltrated" and devoid of any pedagogical focus, the MP supports the rapid implementation of remote learning with the Rector of Paris. He calls for a collective realization so that the children, deprived of classes for over a month, can finally resume their schooling. • "And so, to be closed, quite simply, you have to block it until 8:30 AM - 9:00 AM, until the principal decides that the day is closed, is lost.

He emphasizes that for millions of citizens, bank accounts are empty by the 15th of the month. In this context of emergency, he describes the increase in the minimum wage (SMIC) as an insufficient solution, comparing it to a bandage on a massive wound. The RN president points to the explosion in energy costs, with electricity prices doubling in one year and gas prices tripling. He notes that the minimum wage increase only affects 2 million people, while the crisis is widespread. To respond immediately to the loss of purchasing power, he advocates acting on taxes rather than oil prices. He is therefore calling for a reduction in VAT from 20% to 5.5% on fuel. According to him, this measure would return €20 to the French people on a 50-liter tank at the pump. • "The minimum wage increase first, before talking about measures, and I think we will have time this evening to go into the details and the intimacy of the project that we are carrying with Marine Le Pen, the French people are at their breaking point. The French people are at their breaking point because they can no longer pay their bills, because on the 15th of the month for millions of French people, there is not much left, if anything at all, in their bank account" (Unknown speaker, 00:12) • "because electricity has doubled in the last year, because gas prices have tripled, because we saw record prices at the pump a few weeks ago. Of course, we can do nothing about oil prices, but we can do a lot about tax prices, and that is the reason why we have been asking for weeks for the VAT on fuel to be lowered from 20% to 5.5%, which would allow for €20 of purchasing power to be returned immediately at the pump on a 50L tank. The increase in the minimum wage, which is necessarily a boost for millions of French people, only concerns 2 million French people" (Unknown speaker, 00:34) https://www.youtube.com/embed/uZcnGdjT2cI 77 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/uuJVSF2zsd4 2026-11-10 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/uuJVSF2zsd4/hqdefault.jpg Córdoba, Arrival at Esplanade of Military Aviation School, November 10, 2026 – Pope Leo XIV Córdoba, Argentina: Pope Leo XIV arrives at the esplanade of the Military Aviation School and tours in the popemobile among the faithful https://www.youtube.com/embed/uuJVSF2zsd4 734 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/v5uFQymMOU0 2026-11-10 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/v5uFQymMOU0/hqdefault.jpg Vive la France une et indivisible ! Meeting at Le Bourget: launch of the 'Insoumission' campaign for 2027 With the 2027 deadline in view, the movement asserts that it represents a shield of rupture against the right and the far-right. This candidacy is presented as the necessary tool for the French people to win and free themselves from the neoliberal capitalist system by electing representatives who share their social condition. The organization relies on a large and popular team, whose faces prefigure a future government. These spokespeople are deploying to defend the millions of people who suffer on a daily basis and to mark the return of the people to politics through the 'Avenir en commun' (Future in Common) program. The stated objective is immediate accession to power to establish the 6th Republic, share wealth, and achieve the ecological transition. The movement claims a France that is one and indivisible, including all citizens without distinction of religion or skin color, under the banner of liberty, equality, and fraternity. • "We are candidates for power, now, right away, to change everything, to create the 6th Republic, to share wealth, to carry out the ecological transition.

Although its application to the European Union was submitted four years ago, the country believes it is not receiving sufficient support despite its results in terms of the rule of law and the fight against corruption, areas in which it ranks at the top of the Western Balkans. Regarding relations with Serbia, tensions are considered to be constantly decreasing. The Prime Minister considers that the recognition of Kosovo's independence constitutes the fundamental test of democracy in Serbia after its recent democratic change. For its part, Kosovo expresses its readiness for normalization. Internationally, the country enjoys total institutional stability after having formed its Assembly and appointed its government. This stability allows for the launch of major infrastructure projects, particularly in the railway and dam sectors. • "I believe that it is precisely the recognition of Kosovo's independence that will be the fundamental test of democracy in Serbia.

Debate in the National Assembly on law enforcement and police violence A member of parliament denounces active cooperation between the police and far-right groups in Lorient, Montpellier, and Nice, as well as police inaction in the face of masked commandos in Rouen, Nancy, and Tours. She provides an overview of serious injuries during protests: hands blown off by grenades in Saint-Étienne and Lens, eyes lost to LBD (rubber bullet) shots in Strasbourg and Mulhouse, and accusations of sexual and racist violence. According to the representative, these facts outline a doctrine of law enforcement that no longer respects republican values. The Minister of the Interior, Laurent Nuñez, asserts that police and gendarmerie forces act according to his instructions and within a legal and proportionate framework. He maintains that law enforcement agencies guarantee the freedom to protest by neutralizing rioters, looters, and ultra-left militants who seek to escalate the situation. The minister specifies that some of the injuries mentioned have not yet been attributed to security forces and are the subject of judicial investigations. He invites the national representation to firmly condemn the actions of rioters rather than questioning his ministry, recalling that interventions take place under the supervision of general inspectorates. • "Mr. Minister of the Interior, in Lorient, Montpellier, and Nice, factual evidence demonstrates active cooperation between the police and far-right groups in the exercise of law enforcement. In Rouen, Nancy, Tours, and elsewhere, masked far-right commandos attacked processions under the passive gaze of the police. Everywhere, disproportionate law enforcement methods have been used. In Saint-Nazaire, a man was seriously injured in the eye" (Unknown speaker, 00:00) • "These points no longer outline isolated incidents, but trace a doctrine of law enforcement that does not respect our republican values.

It is deemed necessary to move beyond this phase of simple observation to take action by restoring authority and sanctions. It is recommended to exclude all individuals involved, directly or indirectly, in the events. Regarding minors, the sanction policy must be completely overhauled. Currently, judges lack the means to sanction these minors, notably because there is not a single closed educational center per department in France. The concern also lies in the judicial qualification of the facts. An attempted involuntary homicide risks, over time, being reclassified as assault resulting in incapacity, eventually leading to a simple educational sanction. • "What needs to be done is to first restore authority and sanctions" (Unknown speaker, 00:10) • "So I think what is needed is to completely review the sanction policy for minors" (Unknown speaker, 00:47) • "There, what needs to be done, we must first exclude everyone who is involved, closely or remotely, okay? And we must obviously ensure that there are minors who are really, because you will see this attempted involuntary homicide that we are talking about, I bet you that it will end, and Goldnadel I am sure agrees with me, in some time, weeks, a few months as, let's say, assaults having led to an incapacity, and then it will end with what? With an educational sanction. There is not a single closed educational center in France per department.

Economically, he proposes reducing payroll taxes to bring net pay closer to gross pay. His goal is to increase the net monthly income of a median-wage earner by €250. To fund these measures, he suggests a 'blank year' on state spending amounting to €15 billion and a territorial reform to save between €7 and €10 billion by reducing administrative layers. Regarding security and authority, he denounces a civilizational shift concerning youth violence and advocates for respect for rules in schools through the principle of 'you break it, you fix it.'

Sensitive sectors such as hospitals, banks, and public services are being targeted by cybercrime, which has become a major geopolitical issue. Experts emphasize the need for better digital hygiene, including the use of robust passwords and two-factor authentication, to protect infrastructure and businesses against increasingly aggressive threats. On the social front, the government has announced a 1.6% increase in the minimum wage (SMIC) effective December 1st, bringing the raise to approximately 23 euros. This measure is considered insufficient by unions and worrying for employers, who fear for the viability of businesses and the maintenance of jobs. The debates also highlight the difficulties related to payroll tax exemptions on low wages and the redistribution of dividends in France. Furthermore, the Cultural Affairs Committee has shelved a petition that gathered over one million signatures, thereby preventing a parliamentary debate on the subject. In politics, champion Teddy Riner has announced his candidacy for the 2027 presidential election, presenting himself as an alternative to professional politicians. Finally, a text aimed at banning the import of products from Israeli settlements was adopted in committee and will be examined on November 19th. • "Let's start with the summary, and our top story tonight: the Resilience Bill on cybersecurity, finally being examined at the National Assembly, albeit two years late, and while France is suffering from cyberattacks almost daily" (Adeline François, 00:40) • "It is a terrorist organization that has been found guilty, in this instance at least, of an attack of unprecedented scale and aggression in our country" (Speaker 14, 03:37) • "The minimum wage will see a 1.6% increase starting December 1st" (Adeline François, 38:20) • https://www.youtube.com/embed/wugKJgohJOg 3842 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/x8MAQWt-nh0 2026-11-10 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/x8MAQWt-nh0/hqdefault.jpg Gabriel Attal sur la candidature de Teddy Riner Gabriel Attal reacts to Teddy Riner's presidential candidacy **A vibrant democracy and an enriched political landscape** "Yes, I say welcome to him in this race, of course.

The results indicate a 13% increase in Parkinson's cases at age 55, 50% for lymphomas, and 20% for myelomas. These specific pathologies contrast with a cancer rate that is generally 20 to 30% lower than the general population, due to a healthier agricultural lifestyle. Farmers are identified as the primary victims and stakeholders in these issues. Although they are victims, they are also described as heroes for their capacity for change. Organic farming and other forms of production are presented as solutions already available.

Now, it's not everywhere. Obviously, it wasn't widespread, but before October 17, we had 761 injured, just to put things in perspective, with injuries including second-degree burns.

This position is based on the observation that 47% of first-year undergraduate students in 2019 had no degree five years later. To restore excellence, he points out that approximately one year of instruction is missing due to cuts in mathematics and French teaching hours. Faced with the country's budgetary situation, a sharp increase in tuition fees is being discussed, rising from €178 to €900 for undergraduate degrees, in order to fund a scholarship reform. At the same time, elected officials are warning about the unsanitary conditions of certain facilities and the reduction in regional funding, which could amount to one billion euros. Finally, regarding the candidacy of a sports champion for the Presidency of the Republic, Stéphane Piednoir expresses his skepticism. He believes that the presidential office requires local experience and a strategic perspective, concluding that this is not the person needed for this responsibility. • "The point that irritates me the most is the absence of selection, that we should no longer select. I would like to tell this young woman, and all the students who are part of this movement, that the university is not an amusement park" (Mr. Stéphane Piednoir, 04:54) • "It is the end of a concept that says the baccalaureate automatically equals admission to a general degree program" (Mr. Stéphane Piednoir, 11:22) • "This report proposes a very sharp increase in tuition fees, which would go from €178 per year to €900 per year for undergraduate degrees and from €254 to €1,300 each year for master's degrees" (Speaker 11, 13:46) • "47% of students who were in their first year of undergraduate studies in 2019 had not obtained any degree 5 years later, according to figures from the Ministry of Higher Education" https://www.youtube.com/embed/yGsLRx2-qyQ 1432 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/yIGKFNowDcE 2026-11-10 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/yIGKFNowDcE/hqdefault.jpg "J’ai des camarades qui ont été agressés sexuellement par des policiers" (Philémon Jouglet-Marcus) High school student mobilization: debates on violence and social dialogue on franceinfo The current high school movement is facing growing tensions. Carole Zerbib reports that half of Parisian high schools are experiencing daily violence, while Sylvain Duic estimates that 2 to 3% of institutions are affected by assaults against staff. For his part, Philémon Jougla-Marcus denounces staggering police repression and strict administrative closures, while specifying that the condemned cases of violence remain a very small minority. The question of the legitimacy of the blockades is divisive. While Philémon Jougla-Marcus defends general assemblies open to all students, Sylvain Duic considers that the movement is now in the hands of rioters who prevent the majority from studying. He asserts that the government has responded to several demands, notably through a promise of transparency regarding Parcoursup by the Minister of National Education. However, student representatives deem these responses insufficient. Philémon Jougla-Marcus points out that the creation of 500 positions does not compensate for the 10,000 cuts over ten years or the 15.5 million hours lost each year. He cites the example of Seine-Saint-Denis, where students lose a year and a half of schooling due to a lack of teachers. Carole Zerbib acknowledges that the government's ability to engage in social dialogue is problematic. • "It is precisely the fact that, today, they are not listening to high school students, but also to the unions, because in fact, we are united behind the same demands, that we find ourselves in such situations" (Philémon Jougla-Marcus, 08:19) • "Today, very few, but there have been very, very strong administrative closures and also absolutely staggering police repression that we don't necessarily talk about" (Philémon Jougla-Marcus, 00:47) • "That is to say that we are talking about 3,700 high schools, educational institutions in the territory, and we are talking about 2 or 3% where, indeed, there is a lot of violence and there is https://www.youtube.com/embed/yIGKFNowDcE 773 2026-11-10 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/yP61ocj2Cck 2026-11-10 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/yP61ocj2Cck/hqdefault.jpg Pascal Praud débat avec Kévin, militant LFI, sur la pétition contre CNews Debate on Europe 1 between Pascal Praud and a La France Insoumise activist regarding CNews **Petition and accusations of censorship** "Yes, regarding the vote, I am unhappy because I was one of the signatories of the petition, because for me, I'm telling you, CNews is not, is not, is not a channel like the others" — Unknown speaker "And I am always struck by the left, which likes to censor, which likes to ban.

On the judicial front, arrest warrants have been issued for the leaders of the cyber unit attached to the Revolutionary Guards. At the same time, the Iranian ambassador to France has been summoned, and discussions are underway with the European Union to freeze the assets of Iranian officials and ban them from entering the territory. The national cyber defense doctrine authorizes hybrid reprisals, including offensive cyber counter-actions against the Tehran regime.

Attempted attacks have specifically targeted blood supplies. Faced with this malicious risk from enemy countries, it is necessary for every citizen to be aware of vulnerabilities, beyond just technical risks. A general mobilization is recommended through a citizen reserve involving all French people. This approach is based on a form of individual responsibility and training. The goal is for everyone to know what they must do in their profession to ensure increased vigilance. This involvement concerns various sectors, from units managing blood supplies to bank tellers, as well as EDF agents. For example, personnel managing blood supplies must monitor temperature changes that can occur in a very short time. • "We must live with the idea that today there are enemies who are conspiring against France and who wish harm upon our country" (Unknown speaker, 00:00) • "Well, precisely, you are talking about blood supplies, and well, everyone who works in these units must know that the temperature can change in a very short space of time and that one must therefore be even more vigilant.

The committee is conducting an inquiry into the factors driving educational attainment, and heard AITSL on Tuesday 10 November 2026. The witness said ministers commissioned the review in April, and described it as "the first review since they were agreed". The standards were agreed in December 2010, with implementation from 2011. A discussion paper, released as part of the review, sets out seven key improvement areas and is open for submissions and a survey. The witness said the final report is due "in March next year" after feedback is considered. The same witness said AITSL is not an employer or regulator. ### Economists urge teacher identifiers in national data Economists from the University of Melbourne told the committee that Australia cannot measure teacher effectiveness because national assessment data carry no teacher or classroom identifiers. Their main recommendation was to add stable teacher and classroom identifiers to data already collected. The witness said this was "the single biggest change" the committee could recommend, at very small cost. The witness also said teacher unions in New South Wales have pushed back over fears of data being weaponised, and that the identifiers should be kept separate from any use against teachers. Nicolás Salamanca, a researcher at the Melbourne Institute of Applied Economic and Social Research, said the identifiers could be used to evaluate teacher training programs. ### Young people say AI is eroding trust Bronwyn Lee, chief executive of Learning Creates Australia, told the committee that early findings from unpublished research with Western https://videos.polyfact.com/au-parliament-5103375-c1-vod/manifest.m3u8 17220 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/2a465fb5ae584d0f9c68468a0e32e4cb-vod 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/2a465fb5ae584d0f9c68468a0e32e4cb-vod/20261110030020/1280.jpg Parliamentary Crime and Corruption Committee: Public Meeting with the Parliamentary Commissioner Commissioner says CCC records pass audit ### Commissioner finds CCC inspections regular The Parliamentary Crime and Corruption Committee (Queensland) held a public meeting with the Parliamentary Commissioner on Tuesday 10 November 2026. It examined the commissioner's public report for 29 July to 20 October 2026, and the committee carried a motion to authorise its publication. Commissioner Daniel Morgan said an on-site inspection of the Crime and Corruption Commission's (CCC) telecommunications intercept records found "Nothing arising from those; everything's regular." He said the intelligence data review under the Crime and Corruption Act had "passed our audit", and that he had reported on the intercept inspections to the Attorney-General. He said an inspection of controlled operations records under the Police Powers and Responsibilities Act also found nothing remarkable. The public session ended with no questions on notice and the committee moved to a private session. ### Interception law redraft delayed, Morgan says Commissioner Daniel Morgan said the Commonwealth's redraft of the Telecommunications (Interception and Access) Act 1979 remains a work in progress. He said Home Affairs had emailed that it was "delayed by lack of drafting resources". Asked by deputy chair Hermann Vorster whether the delay frustrates CCC information sharing, Morgan said he had not been told that and the CCC would need to be asked. He said Home Affairs had been sympathetic so far. Asked about the CCC's IT refresh, Morgan said he was advised the commission's in-house expertise would handle it. ### Morgan defers to CCC on resourcing Labor MP Leanne Linard asked Commissioner Daniel Morgan about complaints the CCC has before it and claims on ABC Radio that it is under-resourced. Morgan said long investigations are an issue in most jurisdictions and are unsatisfactory for those involved. He said he did not have figures comparing Queensland with other jurisdictions and would defer to the CCC chair on resourcing. ### Morgan backs Queensland https://videos.polyfact.com/2a465fb5ae584d0f9c68468a0e32e4cb-vod/manifest.m3u8 1515 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/au-parliament-5103378-c1-live 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/au-parliament-5103378-c1-live/20261110044520/1280.jpg Senate Economics References Committee Official Recording of Senate Committee Proceedings from the Australian Parliament https://videos.polyfact.com/au-parliament-5103378-c1-live/manifest.m3u8 21600 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/au-parliament-5103378-c1-vod 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/au-parliament-5103378-c1-vod/20261110100109/1280.jpg Senate Economics References Committee - Adelaide, SA (part 1 of 2) Treasury official won't guarantee 40,000 HAFF homes by 2029 ### Treasury will not guarantee 40,000-home target The Senate Economics References Committee, examining social housing, heard on Tuesday 10 November 2026 in Adelaide from Treasury's Housing Group about the Housing Australia Future Fund (HAFF), a program meant to support 40,000 social and affordable homes by June 2029. Liberal senator Andrew Bragg repeatedly asked Treasury Director-General of Housing Ben Rimmer whether the target would be met. Rimmer said "there is inevitably some risk about getting the target. We are fully intent on delivering the government's commitment of 40,000 by June 2029". He said no official could give a 100% commitment, and declined to give Bragg a percentage. Rimmer said 2,199 HAFF homes had been delivered, up from 2,062 at Senate estimates 13 days earlier. Answers on notice are due by 24 November. ### Rimmer gives cost per home Rimmer told Bragg the average Commonwealth cost of contracted homes was "about $392,000 for the lifetime of the program in today's terms". He said upfront development cost, met by several parties, was about A$750,000 a home. He said social homes cost the Commonwealth about A$433,000 and affordable homes about A$350,000. He took on notice the most expensive build. ### Treasury has not modelled social housing shortfall Greens senator Barbara Pocock asked whether Treasury had modelled how much of the social housing shortfall would remain after HAFF and the Social Housing Accelerator ended. Rimmer replied "Modeled, no, Senator", but said Treasury had provided policy advice to ministers. An official agreed to take the gap figure on notice. An official said the statutory review of HAFF is due to the minister by the end of the calendar year, with tabling within 15 days. ### Round three approves more than 6,600 homes Treasury's Nerida Hunter, First Assistant Secretary, told Labor senator Lisa Darmanin that round three had received over 300 expressions of interest.

The committee was holding a public hearing on the 2025-2026 annual reports, with the Treasurer and officials. Liberal member Ed Cocks noted the government had said in response to a committee recommendation that it would announce stage 4 in the 2026-27 budget. Steel replied: "No, we've outlined at the election what we would do this term and we've announced in the budget that we would abolish stamp duty for all first-home buyers". He cited abolition for pensioners, NDIS participants and off-the-plan unit buyers. Asked what cuts were planned for later years, Steel said: "I'm not going to preempt decisions in the budget." He said household and business pressure required measured decisions. Questions on notice are due within five working days of the uncorrected proof. ### Treasury forecasts defended against bias claim Treasury has made no recent estimate of the ACT's structural deficit, Acting Deputy Under Treasurer Scott Austin told independent member Fiona Carrick. Carrick asked why the Assembly should trust forward estimates when revenue and expenses were misforecast. Acting executive group manager Chris Roberts said payroll tax collected over 10 years was A$6.5 billion and the forecast error was "only 14 million over the total 10-year period", a 3.3% variance. Carrick said the trend was revenue higher and expenses lower. Steel said the Treasury forecasts were very accurate. ### ACT lost about A$550 million GST to undercount Chris Roberts said the ACT lost about A$550 million in GST over the period Treasury analysed because the Australian Bureau of Statistics undercounted its population. He said no reconciliation process corrects this between censuses.

The committee was holding its second hearing on the bill. Asked by Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young whether the bill would be less effective without such a right, Bornstein said: "I would put that even a bit higher. It will fail." He said strong laws would be undermined by a weak enforcement regime. Answers on notice are due by Friday 13 November 2026. ### Equality Australia backs private right of action Alex Lea, senior legal policy adviser at Equality Australia, told the hearing his organisation would support a private right of action for a person who suffers loss or damage because of a breach of the duty. He said injunctive relief should be the priority. CEO Anna Brown also asked for the bill to cover material that "vilifies or dehumanises a targeted group". ### Zwier proposes fast-track court takedown Leon Zwier, representing seven mainstream Jewish community bodies, proposed a paper-based Federal Court process for takedown applications. He said that if a judge found a reasonable issue for trial, "The onus of proof will reverse, it'll fall upon the platforms to prove compliance". ### Ombudsman seeks power over platform complaints Cynthia Gebert, Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman, told the hearing the bill does not go far enough in giving people an independent place to go. She said her office had a 70% increase in contacts in the 2026 financial year and cannot help them. ### Henderson says repeal of codes weakens laws Liberal senator Sarah Henderson told the Alliance for Gambling Reform that removing mandatory codes weakens online safety law.

Debates center on extending the support measures of Article 4 to businesses affected by exceptional climatic events, notably the megafires in Gironde, whose economic impact exceeds one billion euros. Amendments aim to extend contribution exemptions until December 2026 to prevent business failures. The government and the rapporteur express reservations about excessively broadening aid mechanisms, citing a loss of revenue for Social Security. Mr. Jean-Pierre Farandou points out that the State compensates for exemptions at a rate of 99.6%, thus respecting the Veil Law, but reminds that any new exemption undermines social accounts. Tensions arise regarding the permanent nature of exceptional measures, with the rapporteur fearing a lasting deterioration of the balance. The agricultural sector is the subject of specific proposals, notably to align MSA procedures with those of the URSSAF and to establish contribution reductions for farmers affected by the 2026 drought. A unanimously adopted amendment also encourages the donation of produce to food aid associations through a flat-rate reduction in social contributions. Finally, the situation of overseas territories is addressed with requests to extend social debt clearance plans up to 60 months in Guadeloupe and French Guiana. Regarding firefighters, discussions focus on neutralizing the increase in CNRACL contributions for SDIS and on exempting employers of volunteer firefighters from contributions. • "We are therefore resuming the discussion of the 2027 Social Security Financing Bill considered as rejected by the National Assembly" (Mr. Bernard Jomier, 00:12) • "So, for these amendments, these are requests for withdrawal or unfavorable opinions once again to stick to the article as it is written because, obviously, if we broaden the mechanism, it means a loss of revenue for the Social https://videos.polyfact.com/5993451_6af22775854e5-vod/manifest.m3u8 10476 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/19694887_6af229c874e5b-live 2026-11-09 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/19694887_6af229c874e5b-live/20261109231529/1280.jpg 2ème séance : Renforcement de la cybersécurité (suite) - Suite de la discussion du projet de loi, adopté par le Sénat après engagement de la procédure accélérée, relatif à la résilience des infrastructures critiques et au renforcement de la cybersécurité https://videos.polyfact.com/19694887_6af229c874e5b-live/manifest.m3u8 10050 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/19694887_6af229c874e5b-vod 2026-11-09 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/19694887_6af229c874e5b-vod/20261109233015/1280.jpg 2ème séance : Renforcement de la cybersécurité (suite) National Assembly: Examination of the bill on the resilience of critical infrastructure and cybersecurity **Extension of highly critical sectors** "This is an amendment I would like to launch into orbit, concerning satellites and their operators.

The initiative aims to overcome ideological barriers to address common issues in the South, with Caramiello emphasizing the need for Southern parliamentarians to prioritize territorial belonging over political roles. During the event, the importance of collaboration between law enforcement agencies was reiterated, explicitly including the local police in the public security system. The literary salon explored the relationship between the individual and power through various works. Among the topics covered, cultural diplomacy was identified as a tool to rewrite real paths beyond geopolitical conflicts, citing projects that unite Mediterranean artists and rediscover the Neapolitan roots of classical works such as Turandot. Regarding legality, the commitment to 'social tailoring' was discussed as necessary to offer alternatives to young people who risk being pushed toward organized crime by a lack of prospects. A specific focus was dedicated to freedom of the press and the figure of Julian Assange. The speakers denounced the worsening of Italy's position in the world press freedom ranking, which fell from 49th place in 2025 to 56th in 2026. It was emphasized how democracy dies in darkness when news is manipulated or withheld from public knowledge, reiterating that the well-being of a country is measured not only by GDP but also through freedom of expression. • "About 4 years ago, I created this parliamentary intergroup titled 'Development of the South, Fragile Areas,' meaning inland areas and smaller islands, which has the goal, beyond any ideological and party barriers, of working together on common issues" (Alessandro Caramiello, 39:38) • "In the book, there is also a world ranking on https://videos.polyfact.com/it-camera-32818-vod/manifest.m3u8 3677 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/it-senato-126805-live 2026-11-09 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/it-senato-126805-live/20261109183030/1280.jpg Convegno: Presentazione del libro “Era tanto un bravo ragazzo” Presentazione del libro “Era tanto un bravo ragazzo” di Paola di Nicola Travaglini.

Kajsa Ollongren intends to work closely with the European Parliament to make the EU a stronger global actor, acknowledging that while member states want to keep the steer of foreign policy, there is a strong need for a coherent approach. Enlargement is identified as one of the most important tools for security guarantees and securing stability beyond the EU. Regarding the war in Ukraine, Ollongren notes that while the political divide over the war can be big, the divide over its consequences is not. Michael Gahler suggests a mutual approach to security guarantees where Ukraine is also supportive of the EU. To achieve lasting peace, the EU and EEAS will continue to support the ICC and international criminal justice. On global crises, the humanitarian situation in Gaza remains catastrophic, requiring urgent attention and unhindered access. Ollongren expresses hope for a new Israeli government that takes a more engaging approach. In the Arctic, Villy Søvndal argues the EU ought to have more presence during times of geopolitical uncertainty, while Ollongren highlights the recent Arctic strategy and support for Denmark regarding Greenland. Sanctions remain a visible instrument to pressure Russia, though Arkadiusz Mularczyk questions the need for an annual EEAS report to assess the effectiveness of sanctions implementation and circumvention. Regarding the Western Balkans, discussions continue with American partners to find a solution for the appointment of a new High Representative in Bosnia and Herzegovina. • « The question is not only about how to make it even more effective, but how to strengthen the synergy between the executive and parliamentary diplomacy to achieve better outcomes » (David MCALLISTER, 01:12) • « Our discussion on https://videos.polyfact.com/20261109-1700-COMMITTEE-AFET-vod/manifest.m3u8 5879 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/20261109-1700-COMMITTEE-AFET-live 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/20261109-1700-DELEGATION-DACP-live 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/20261109-1700-DELEGATION-DACP-vod 2026-11-09 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/20261109-1700-DELEGATION-DACP-vod/20261109184551/1280.jpg Opening Ceremony of the 2nd Session of the OACPS-EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly Opening Ceremony of the 2nd OACPS-EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly on Samoa Agreement The second session of the OACPS-EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly brings together nearly 80 parliaments from four continents to anchor a partnership based on mutual respect and shared values. Roberta Metsola and other speakers emphasized the strategic necessity of the Samoa Agreement, though concerns remain regarding the slow pace of ratification. As of November 2026, only 15 OACPS member states and 15 EU member states have completed the process. For vulnerable nations, particularly island states, climate finance for adaptation and loss and damage must be accessible and based on grants rather than debt. Jamaica reported damages exceeding 12 billion US dollars in 2024, highlighting the lived experience of climate-exposed countries. Speakers called for a fundamental shift in economic relations, moving from development assistance toward mobilizing investments that support local industrialization, technology transfer, and the creation of qualified jobs. Security and the international order remain central priorities. The assembly addressed Russia's invasion of Ukraine as a violation of sovereignty and the United Nations Charter, while also calling for support for the gang suppression force in Haiti. The European Peace Facility has provided approximately 1.2 billion euros to assist African partners with military and defense capabilities since 2021. The Irish presidency of the Council of the European Union is currently guiding these efforts under the principle of strength with unity. • « We remain concerned, however, by the slow pace of ratification. As of November 2026, only 15 OACPS member states and 15 EU member states have completed their respective ratification processes » (Intervenant 15, 01:15:28) • « In this context, a strong and effective partnership between the OACPS and the European Union is not simply desirable; it's a strategic necessity.

Experts highlighted that research often deprioritizes women, with funding for ovarian cancer at 97,000 dollars compared to 1.8 million for prostate cancer in the United States. Furthermore, only 38% of participants in phase 3 clinical trials are women, and medical training curricula dedicate a maximum of 2% to sex- and gender-sensitive medicine. Financial barriers and waiting times leave 28% of women in the EU with unmet healthcare needs. Specific health challenges for women include endometriosis, which affects one in ten women and takes 7 to 10 years to diagnose, and significant disparities in cancer deaths between Eastern and Western Europe. While 50% of pregnant women use drugs, only 5% of sold drugs are tested on them. Experts called for ring-fenced EU funding for women's health research and the implementation of a dedicated women's health plan with measurable targets. Regarding diabetes, 66 million people in Europe live with the disease, including 22 million who are undiagnosed. Physical activity is a critical factor, as meeting recommendations could prevent 4% to 10% of new type 2 diabetes cases and lower cardiovascular risk by 16% for those already living with the condition. Speakers emphasized that diabetes is a social responsibility rather than just an individual lifestyle choice, noting that obesity and diabetes share determinants like income, education, and work stability. To address these challenges, the committee discussed the need for population-wide screening for cardiovascular risk and diabetes. Proposed measures include stricter rules for the food industry regarding sugar and labeling, as well as using fiscal levers to make healthy food more affordable. For women's health, the focus remains on requiring sex-disaggregated data and improving access to care for neglected and underfunded conditions. • « Europe has https://videos.polyfact.com/20261109-1600-COMMITTEE-SANT-vod/manifest.m3u8 7956 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/20261109-1600-COMMITTEE-PECH-vod 2026-11-09 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/20261109-1600-COMMITTEE-PECH-vod/20261109180108/1280.jpg Committee on Fisheries Ordinary meeting Committee on Fisheries: EMFAF simplification and trade negotiations with Southeast Asian partners The European Commission has proposed measures to facilitate the implementation of the EMFAF, aiming for a swift adoption in early 2027. The proposal raises the budgetary ceiling for fleet measures and permanent cessation from 15% to 30% of member state allocations and removes ceilings for temporary cessation. To support generational renewal, the plan increases aid intensity for young fishers and removes barriers to business ownership transfers. However, some members argue for further modernization by removing restrictions on vessel capacity and engine power. Trade negotiations with Southeast Asian partners, particularly Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines, are a major focus as imports constitute 70% of EU fish consumption. Canned tuna is identified as a sensitive product; for Indonesia, a tariff rate quota of 800 tonnes has been established within a 625,000-tonne market. While the Commission emphasizes that free trade agreements include robust sustainable development chapters, some members express concern that these concessions could negatively impact the European canning industry. To combat IUU fishing, the Commission highlights the IT CATCH system as a game changer for traceability. Rules of origin serve as a safeguard to prevent tropical tuna from third countries entering through the back door. Despite these tools, concerns remain regarding legal developments in the Philippines and Thailand that may affect vessel monitoring and illegal fishing oversight. • « Our proposal raises also the budgetary ceiling for fleet measures and permanent cessation from 15 to 30% of each member state's allocation, and removes the budgetary ceilings for temporary cessation » (Stelios Mitolidis, 03:29) • « We import, as you know, four times more than we export, and our imports are essential to meet the demand of our consumers.

The proposal aims for a swift adoption in early 2027 as national programs run until 2029. Key changes include raising the budgetary ceiling for fleet measures and permanent cessation from 15% to 30% of member states' allocations, while removing ceilings for temporary cessation. The amendment also seeks to reinforce generational renewal by increasing aid for young fishers and removing barriers to business ownership transfers. Concerns were raised regarding the current execution of the EMFAF, with less than 30% of funds reaching beneficiaries at the mid-term of the 2021-2027 period. Members debated the 24-meter vessel length limit for subsidies and the shift from kilowatt-based power limits to CO2 emission requirements. Some members argued this could lead to public financing of increased fishing capacity, while others emphasized the need for modernization to improve safety and efficiency without necessarily increasing catches. Regarding trade, the Commission discussed negotiations with South East Asian partners, specifically the agreement with Indonesia. To balance interests, the EU granted modest tariff-rate quotas of 800 tonnes for processed tuna, restricted to fish caught in EU or Indonesian waters. Members expressed concern over the cumulative effect of trade concessions on the domestic canning industry and requested close monitoring of volumes and prices. The Commission noted that free trade agreements include safeguard mechanisms to address market disturbances. On the issue of illegal fishing, the Commission highlighted the CATCH system as a tool for traceability. However, challenges were noted in the Philippines, where the Supreme Court invalidated regulations for continuous electronic monitoring of commercial fishing vessels.

Frédéric Amant highlighted that the EU loses 52 billion euros annually to adverse drug events among female patients, with 130,000 women dying each year from these events. Experts called for ring-fenced research funding and a dedicated EU instrument for women's health in the upcoming budget period. Specific concerns were raised regarding the lack of attention to endometriosis, which affects 14 million women in Europe, and the underdiagnosis of cardiovascular diseases in women. On the topic of diabetes, the committee discussed the importance of early action and physical activity. Marian Brennan stated that meeting physical activity recommendations across the EU could prevent 4 to 10% of new type 2 diabetes cases. Raffaele Napoli reported that 22 million people in Europe have diabetes but are unaware of it, including 9 million within the European Union. The discussion emphasized the link between obesity and diabetes, with calls for stricter regulations on the food industry regarding sugar, alcohol, and tobacco labeling. Barriers to care were also highlighted, including financial obstacles and social stigma. Tilly Metz noted that 28% of women in the EU report unmet healthcare needs due to financial barriers or waiting times. For diabetes, stigma and blame often discourage individuals from seeking screening or help. Speakers advocated for integrated healthcare systems with stronger referral pathways and population-wide screening for cardiovascular risk factors and diabetes at the EU level. • « 52 billion is the amount that the EU loses every year to adverse drug events amongst female patients.

At the heart of the initiative is the concert 'We All Love Ennio Morricone,' scheduled for December 1, 2026, at the Palazzo dello Sport in Rome. Mollicone also announced the unanimous approval of a resolution committing the government to a long-term plan to celebrate the 'Morricone Year' in 2028, the centenary of his birth. The maestro's legacy is described as a vast production ranging from film scores, understood as a narrative pillar, to so-called absolute music intended for pure concert listening. His influence has reached the entire international musical community, including artists such as Metallica, Bruce Springsteen, and Roger Waters, leading to his receiving an Honorary Oscar. The project involves strong engagement with the local area and young people. The Lazio Region supports the initiative, which will accompany the concert with a series of activities in music high schools and conservatories in Rome and other provinces. The decisive role of Latina in Morricone's concert career is also highlighted, where his Oscar and the recording of 14 albums were managed. • "We then unanimously approved a resolution that commits the government to a long-term plan to officially celebrate, in the centenary of his birth in 2028, the Morricone Year" (Federico Mollicone, 04:24) • "We are here to present the 'We All Love Ennio Morricone' concert scheduled for December 1, 2026, at 9:00 PM at the Palazzo dello Sport in Rome" (Speaker 4, 00:05) • "And it is a great pleasure to host here at the Chamber the presentation of this great cultural promotion project dedicated to the music and artistic legacy of Ennio Morricone" (Federico Mollicone, 01:42) • "He revolutionized the language of music for cinema, transforming the soundtrack from a simple emotional background into an autonomous and essential narrative pillar" https://videos.polyfact.com/it-camera-32817-vod/manifest.m3u8 2248 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/19692252_6af1dde88b1d0-live 2026-11-09 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/19692252_6af1dde88b1d0-live/20261109174520/1280.jpg Commission des affaires économiques : Lutter contre la vie chère en Outre-mer ; Relations Committee on Economic Affairs: combating the high cost of living in Overseas Territories and commercial ban on settlements The committee is examining a bill aimed at reducing the cost of living in Overseas Territories, where food prices are 30% to 42% higher than in mainland France. The text notably provides for the capping of back-margin rebates and strengthens penalties for companies that fail to file their accounts, with daily fines of up to 1,000 euros. Rapporteur Christian Baptiste is calling for a vote in line with the Senate's text to allow for its immediate implementation on November 19, thereby avoiding an uncertain parliamentary return. The second part concerns the prohibition of commercial relations contributing to colonization in the occupied Palestinian and Syrian territories. Supported by Olivier Faure, the text is based on the opinions of the International Court of Justice requesting that States prevent investments that maintain these illicit situations. The proposal targets not only goods but also services, including financial services, when they participate in the development of settlements. The debates highlight divergences regarding legal competence. While some deputies point out that Spain or the Netherlands already apply restrictions, others argue that trade policy falls under the exclusive competence of the European Union. Amendments were adopted to clarify the definition of economic operators and to toughen the title of the law, which was ultimately adopted by the committee. • "In 2022, food products cost 42% more in Guadeloupe than in mainland France, 40% in Martinique, 39% in French Guiana, 37% in Réunion, and 30% in Mayotte" (Mr. Christian Baptiste, 14:29) • "The text today focuses on a specific point: price transparency.

Currently, this mechanism is limited to one year with a one-year waiting period between two periods. The text proposes removing these time limits to allow for continued activity as long as the state of health justifies it, thus aligning the public sector with the private sector. In 2024, approximately 152,000 civil servants benefited from it, at an estimated cost of 500 million euros. Opponents are concerned about the lack of a maximum duration and the impact on the organization of services, particularly in the national education system where the use of the mechanism has increased significantly. Deputies also debated the regularization of undocumented workers. The project provides for the creation of a one-year residence permit issued as a matter of right after six months of professional activity over the last two years. This mechanism would also concern self-employed workers and would allow activity to be proven by any means. The rapporteur estimates that this measure could concern hundreds of thousands of people, whereas the current mechanism for jobs in high-demand sectors has only allowed for 1,600 regularizations in two years. The discussions highlighted administrative difficulties in prefectures, marked by increasing digitalization. Amendments were proposed to restore physical counters and establish a rule where silence from the administration for two months would equate to the issuance of the permit. The debate pitted the desire to bring workers out of the underground economy and exploitation against the fear of an automatic process that would deprive the State of its power of migratory assessment. • "The bill contains a single article that creates a new case for the automatic issuance of a one-year employee residence permit, subject to proof of professional activity for at least 6 months" https://videos.polyfact.com/19692238_6af1ddb80b07b-vod/manifest.m3u8 9998 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/19692214_6af1dd25bbcbc-live 2026-11-09 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/19692214_6af1dd25bbcbc-live/20261109191535/1280.jpg 1ère séance : Renforcement de la cybersécurité - Discussion du projet de loi, adopté par le Sénat après engagement de la procédure accélérée, relatif à la résilience des infrastructures critiques et au renforcement de la cybersécurité https://videos.polyfact.com/19692214_6af1dd25bbcbc-live/manifest.m3u8 15090 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/19692214_6af1dd25bbcbc-vod 2026-11-09 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/19692214_6af1dd25bbcbc-vod/20261109191545/1280.jpg 1ère séance : Renforcement de la cybersécurité National Assembly: Examination of the bill on the resilience of critical infrastructure and cybersecurity **Transposition of European directives and legislative framework** "The agenda calls for the discussion, following the initiation of the accelerated procedure, of the bill, adopted by the Senate, relating to the resilience of critical infrastructure and the strengthening of cybersecurity" — Ms. Hélène Laporte "The bill thus transposes three European directives, the CER, NIS 2, and DORA directives, to strengthen the resilience of the nation and the economy" — Ms. Anne Le Hénanff "We were simply waiting patiently for the next steps, because it has been more than a year since the special committee finished its preparatory work for the examination of this bill, which transposes the new European cybersecurity framework" — Mr. Éric Bothorel "This is a text that was extraordinarily anticipated. It was supposed to be transposed before October 17, 2024" — Mr. Philippe Latombe "In 2022, the CER directive on the resilience of critical entities, the NIS 2 directive on cybersecurity, and the DORA regulation for the financial sector were adopted" — Ms. Marie-Agnès Poussier-Winsback "So this response exists; the European Union adopted, as you all said, on December 14, 2022, CER, NIS 2, and DORA, and we must transcribe these proposals, these European laws" — Ms. Geneviève Darrieussecq "This is precisely what makes this bill necessary to face this threat by transposing three European directives from 2022" — Mr. Michel Castellani "This text first formalizes the shift to a logic of resilience by transposing the CER directive, which concerns the protection of our activities of vital importance" — Mr. Michel Castellani **Cyber threat and confirmed incidents** "The examination of this bill, which is particularly anticipated, comes back in a specific context, that of a cyber threat more intense than ever" — Ms. Anne Le Hénanff "In France, the cyber threat remains high.

Baroness Merron stated the bill returns the system to a pre-2012 situation where ministers can intervene, though she emphasized such powers should be used sparingly. Concerns were raised regarding the centralization of the NHS and the potential for political direction to override local clinical decisions. Baroness Bennett noted that the English NHS is already unusually centralized, while Lord Patel warned of a total absence of safeguards related to public health and prevention in the current bill. Regarding private sector involvement, Baroness Merron clarified that Clause 10 prohibits the Secretary of State from deliberately shifting the balance between provider types, though it allows for intervention if a service is failing. Baroness Bennett highlighted that NHS spending on non-NHS providers reached approximately £20.4 billion in 2024-25, representing 10.3% of the resource budget. Peers also discussed cancer care, with Baroness Pidgeon proposing a right to start treatment within 62 days of referral. The government aims to increase five-year cancer survival to 75% by 2035, supported by a new independent national cancer board. On social care, the government committed to a fully funded reform plan, made possible by adjusting the triple lock from 2030. Baroness Merron announced £4.6 billion in additional funding for adult social care by 28-29, including £500 million for a fair pay agreement for care workers. In international affairs, the Lord Leong CBE argued that the WTO must reform to remain relevant, noting that UK trade with non-FTA partners based on most favored nation terms was approximately £605 billion. Additionally, the government addressed the misuse of Interpol red notices, with Lord Carlile noting that Russia has applied for 46% of all current notices. • « So, this bill does return us closer to the https://videos.polyfact.com/287c928e-35a7-4f84-a443-f2af322d84fb-vod/manifest.m3u8 27084 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/20261109-1530-COMMITTEE-LIBE-vod 2026-11-09 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/20261109-1530-COMMITTEE-LIBE-vod/20261109181545/1280.jpg Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs Ordinary meeting JPSG Joint Scrutiny Group Meeting on Europol Regulation Revision and Fundamental Rights Oversight **Europol Regulation and Mandate Revision** « The ongoing revision of the Europol Regulation is likely to profoundly transform the agency's mandate, and our joint scrutiny, both at national level and at EU level, has never been more relevant » — Javier ZARZALEJOS « I have returned convinced that a stronger Europol must go hand-in-hand with adequate resources, robust safeguards for fundamental rights and effective democratic oversight, which is precisely the task of this group » — Javier ZARZALEJOS « I would like to express our satisfaction with the aim of the proposal of the European Commission for the recast of Europol's mandate » — Jürgen EBNER « In this context, I would like to also turn to two important developments that will shape Europol's future: the revision of the Europol Regulation and the next multiannual financial framework » — Marius Daudavila « I hear in the new Europol proposal that the issue is that the national police people are worried, they are concerned that Europol is going to become the new police, actually » — Assita KANKO **Budgetary Resources and Multiannual Planning** « The multi-annual planning for 2027, of course, comes at the moment which will naturally be determined by two factors.

Members reported difficulties obtaining information on algorithmic management systems used to monitor work performance. Testimonies highlighted intense work cadences and the use of neighboring sites to weaken strike movements. These findings are intended to inform the upcoming Quality Jobs Act legislative package. A significant portion of the hearing focused on the exposure of agricultural workers to hazardous pesticides. Data indicates that workers in crop and animal production face a probable exposure to at least one cancer risk factor of 84.4% during a normal work week, nearly double the EU average. Experts linked pesticide exposure to neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, noting that Parkinson's is currently excluded from the recommended list of occupational diseases in most member states. Stakeholders expressed strong opposition to the 'Omnibus 10' package, describing it as a historical retreat of protection that could deregulate the authorization of harmful substances. Critics argued that removing the requirement for producers to periodically prove a pesticide is not hazardous shifts the burden to authorities and civil society. There were also calls to strengthen social conditionality within the Common Agricultural Policy to ensure subsidies are not granted to companies violating safety rules. Representatives from the agricultural sector emphasized that worker safety is a priority but urged a realistic transition timeline for alternative products, which can take 10 to 15 years to reach the market. They highlighted the potential of robotics and anti-drift systems to reduce exposure by up to 91%. The European Commission reminded the committee that while the EU sets the legal framework for chemical agents and carcinogens, national authorities remain responsible for https://videos.polyfact.com/20261109-1515-COMMITTEE-EMPL-vod/manifest.m3u8 9051 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/8bb80746-77f2-4cec-bf64-9d073af099a9-live 2026-11-09 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/8bb80746-77f2-4cec-bf64-9d073af099a9-live/20261109163044/1280.jpg Public session - Economic and Financial Affairs Council Video from the Economic and Financial Affairs Council of the Council of the European Union https://videos.polyfact.com/8bb80746-77f2-4cec-bf64-9d073af099a9-live/manifest.m3u8 7212 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/8bb80746-77f2-4cec-bf64-9d073af099a9-vod 2026-11-09 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/8bb80746-77f2-4cec-bf64-9d073af099a9-vod/20261109194512/1280.jpg Public session - Economic and Financial Affairs Council Economic and Financial Affairs Council Session on Tobacco Taxation and Market Integration The Council addressed the urgent need to update the Tobacco Taxation Directive, which Simon Harris described as out of date and easily circumvented by industry marketing aimed at young people. Wopke Hoekstra highlighted that the current lack of harmonized taxation, particularly on vaping and new nicotine products, results in approximately €13 billion in annual revenue leakage and fraud. While 26 of the 27 member states reached a broad consensus on a pragmatic compromise, Malta maintained its reservation due to concerns over disproportionate national effects. To facilitate agreement, the presidency proposed bringing nicotine pouches into a common EU framework for the first time, initially reducing the proposed rate to €20 per kilogram. A significant concession involved the deletion of Article 12a, the key indexation provision, to address member state concerns regarding purchasing power and national sovereignty over excise rates. The presidency emphasized that the directive sets minimum rates, allowing member states to remain more ambitious if they choose. Beyond tobacco taxation, the Council formally adopted a general approach on the Market Integration and Supervision Package. Maria Luís Albuquerque detailed significant administrative cost reductions, including €4.5 billion in savings from the Omnibus 1 sustainable finance measures and €300 million from the Securitisation Package. These efforts aim to reduce red tape, streamline reporting requirements, and deepen the single market to enhance financial stability and lending capacity. • « If not, before going to the Commissioner, I want to note, of the 27 member states in the room, I believe we have the agreement of 26, which is an incredible achievement » (Simon Harris, 04:35:31) • « We're talking about 13 billion in fraud, just to repeat that.

Members reported extreme pressure on employees, with workers described as 'slaves of the robot' operating under infernal cadences. The mission highlighted difficulties in obtaining information regarding algorithmic management systems used to monitor performance. In Poland, a high reliance on temporary work agencies was noted, alongside production cycles significantly faster than those in Germany. Additionally, Amazon reportedly refused to negotiate collective agreements in Germany. A public hearing on occupational exposure to pesticides revealed that agricultural workers face a probable exposure to at least one cancer risk factor of 84.4% during a normal work week, nearly double the EU average. Experts linked pesticide exposure to neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, as well as various cancers and respiratory disorders. Despite these links, pesticides and Parkinson's are notably absent from the recommended list of occupational diseases. Estimates suggest 1.6 million cases of unintentional pesticide poisoning occur in Europe annually. Discussions addressed the implementation of the Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) framework and the impact of social conditionality. While employers emphasized that health and safety are top priorities, they cautioned that a rapid transition away from phytosanitary products could threaten economic sustainability and food security. Conversely, trade union representatives and some members criticized recent decisions by the AGRIFISH Council to remove social conditionality, arguing it contradicts the goal of reducing pesticide exposure. Proposed solutions include turning the European Semester for Occupational Diseases into a binding instrument and ensuring workers have access to documents proving which chemicals were used during https://videos.polyfact.com/20261109-1515-COMMITTEE-EMPL-live/manifest.m3u8 9327 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/20261109-1500-COMMITTEE-IMCO-vod 2026-11-09 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/20261109-1500-COMMITTEE-IMCO-vod/20261109174545/1280.jpg Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection Ordinary meeting Internal Market Committee Meeting on Digital Fairness, SME Tests, and Gender Bias **Digital Fairness Act and Consumer Protection** « Scopul atelierului este de a face acest schimb de opinii cu privire la modul în care viitorul act legislativ privind echitatea digitală poate consolida protecția consumatorilor online » — Maria GRAPINI « it is an honour to present this briefing requested by IMCO Committee on the horizontal issues relevant for the forthcoming Digital Fairness Act » — Intervenant 17 « the general finding was that the current EU legislation in consumer law is overall efficient, but it's effectiveness is limited due to a high level of legal fragmentation » — Intervenant 16 « the vulnerability arises directly from structural architecture of digital marketplaces and therein used digital techniques, unfair manipulative practices, which make consumer digitally vulnerable, and quite very often result in transactional decisions which are not informed or rational ones » — Intervenant 16 « I recommend updating of both average and vulnerable consumer benchmarks by keeping the Court of Justice standard, but by adding criteria which will reflect the challenges of digital environments » — Intervenant 16 « possible solutions, and that's the one that I have seen has been chosen now by the Commission, is a clear prohibition in the UCPD, an exemplary list of dark patterns to concretize what this broad notion actually means » — Intervenant 20 « I think especially when it comes to dark patterns and specifically addictive design, we have many times also in this committee acknowledged that is one of the biggest challenges that we have for both our health and democracy » — Kim VAN SPARRENTAK « Indeed, you touched upon some of the key aspects that we have been examining in preparation of our proposals for a Digital Fairness Act that the Commission is expected to examine on the 11th of November, so in a couple of days' time » — Intervenant 37 « to combat unethical techniques online, such as dark patterns, marketing by social https://videos.polyfact.com/20261109-1500-COMMITTEE-IMCO-vod/manifest.m3u8 12726 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/20261109-1500-COMMITTEE-IMCO-live 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/5992825_6af1c512d430d-live 2026-11-09 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/5992825_6af1c512d430d-live/20261109191530/1280.jpg Séance publique du 9 novembre 2026 (après-midi) 1.

The Government has set a goal of reducing the social security deficit to 12.7 billion euros in 2027, compared to a forecast of 22.6 billion without new measures. This trajectory aims for a return to balance within 2 to 3 years, in a context where the public administration deficit is expected to reach 5.4% of GDP in 2026. The debate focuses largely on the revaluation of pensions. The committee proposes raising the protection threshold for low-income retirees to 1,500 euros, up from the initially planned 1,260 euros. This increase would be financed by canceling the suspension of the 2023 pension reform. Furthermore, the text provides for allocating a portion of the CSG (General Social Contribution) to departments to ensure sustainable funding for autonomy, although some senators view this as a simple transfer of burdens without real additional resources. Regarding the health branch, the ONDAM (National Objective for Health Insurance Spending) is set to increase by 2%, a level deemed insufficient by several speakers given the natural growth in spending estimated at 3.4%. The Government is implementing cost-cutting measures on sick leave and taxes on overly sugary processed products. In parallel, the Senate majority proposes increasing funding for hospital establishments by 200 million euros to address their persistent financial difficulties. The opposition denounces an austerity budget and a "trimming" of insured persons' rights, citing the increase in medical deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses for patients. Criticism is also being raised against the use of regulatory channels to freeze family benefits or reform the APA (Personalized Autonomy Allowance). The Senate must vote on the entire text, or else the bill will be considered rejected by Parliament. • "With this text, the Government is pursuing a clear objective: to cut the https://videos.polyfact.com/5992825_6af1c512d430d-vod/manifest.m3u8 18174 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/it-camera-32802-live 2026-11-09 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/it-camera-32802-live/20261109163049/1280.jpg Dal fango del 1994 al modello nazionale: 25 anni del Coordinamento Territoriale del Volontariato di Alle ore 15, presso la Sala Matteotti di Palazzo Theodoli - Bianchelli si svolge il convegno "Dal fango del 1994 al modello nazionale: 25 anni del Coordinamento Territoriale del Volontariato di Protezione Civile di Alessandria".

This path led to the birth, on July 9, 2001, of the Territorial Coordination of Civil Protection Volunteering of Alessandria, initially consisting of 12 associations in the provincial offices. Today, the coordination counts 450 volunteers ready to intervene 24 hours a day, integrated into a regional system that totals over 400 associations and approximately 9,000 volunteers. The Piedmontese model is considered an excellence to be exported, having reached such autonomy that it has not required external mobile columns since the flood of 2000. The structure has evolved by equipping itself with an internal training school and preventive communication systems. On the legislative level, a recent law definitively approved in Parliament on October 21 has restored to operators the legal context necessary to work with peace of mind. Current priorities include structural funding, the simplification of emergency procedures, and the protection of personnel. Civil Protection is defined as a permanent bastion of democracy and solidarity, committed not only to emergencies but also to the culture of safety. To ensure the continuity of this experience, the Department has established a youth roundtable to involve new generations in the face of the challenges of climate change and territorial fragility. The mayor remains, by law and vocation, the primary Civil Protection authority in the territory, while the regional coordination represents the common home that unites the various local entities. • « Today we celebrate an important anniversary: 25 years of history of the Territorial Coordination of Civil Protection Volunteering of Alessandria » (Vincenzo Amich, 14:42) • « With the recent law on Civil Protection definitively approved in Parliament on October 21, we have https://videos.polyfact.com/it-camera-32802-vod/manifest.m3u8 3770 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/it-camera-32804-live 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/it-camera-32804-vod 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/it-senato-126802-live 2026-11-09 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/it-senato-126802-live/20261109154535/1280.jpg Proiezione: Il documentario "Hope" Il documentario "Hope.

COP31 features a dual presidency between Antalya and Australia, with goals that include establishing a mechanism for a just transition and moving away from fossil fuels, defined as 'transitioning away'. On the legislative front, a commitment emerges for the recognition of the legal subjectivity of nature, citing the case of Lake Garda and a specific resolution on lakes at the Council of Europe. The goal is to promote a campaign for the rights of nature starting from the Senate of the Republic, emphasizing that environmental protection is closely linked to daily life and human rights. Cooperation between associations and the role of civil society are considered fundamental for translating activism into concrete actions. It is reiterated that every fraction of temperature increase avoided counts, especially in a continent like Europe that is warming up quickly, and that climate inaction entails very high costs. • « The second reason is that it also falls close to COP 31. COP 31 is starting, there are various expectations and you will participate, but I will also participate as a panelist in three side events » (Speaker 1, 02:49) • « The first is that it falls right in conjunction with the Council of Europe resolution that was approved and of which I am the special rapporteur, on accelerating climate action with the younger generations » (Speaker 1, 01:24) • « This COP has a peculiarity, which is that it has a dual https://videos.polyfact.com/it-senato-126802-vod/manifest.m3u8 4050 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/19692041_6af1cfc626339-live 2026-11-09 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/19692041_6af1cfc626339-live/20261109160047/1280.jpg Commission des finances : Projet de loi de finances de fin de gestion pour 2026 Finance Committee: Examination of the 2026 End-of-Year Budget Management Bill **Credit Cancellations and Budgetary Balance** "Our agenda calls for the examination of the 2026 end-of-year budget management bill, for which we heard from the ministers respectively in charge of the economy, finance, and industrial sovereignty on Wednesday, November 4" — Mr. Éric Coquerel "Well, no, this is a text that closes a year of intense regulation: five decrees, two major freezes, and a total of 4.9 billion euros in payment credits canceled from the general budget" — Ms. Christine Arrighi "Simply put, the LOLF (Organic Law on Finance Laws) provides that the government can cancel 1.5 up to 1.5% of expenditure, as you know" — Mr. Philippe Juvin "But with a 5% deficit, I think we must be careful to limit the deterioration of public finances, so my opinion is unfavorable" — Mr. Philippe Juvin "So the government had assured us of a deficit, that the deficit would be kept at 5%, and finally, this PLFG (End-of-Year Management Bill) tells us it will be at 5.4%. So that is a first point" — Ms. Estelle Mercier "The end-of-year management bill is a project that only applies for a few weeks. So, there would be no effect on the overall balance" — Mr. Philippe Juvin **Levies on Assigned Taxes and CCI France** "Paragraph 10 of Article 1 claims to cut 25 million euros from the tax assigned to CCI France. The problem is, the government uses the pretext that CCI France has cash reserves, but in fact, its cash represents 34 days" — Ms. Sophie-Laurence Roy "We also wish to cancel this 25 million euro reduction for CCI France and all the CCIs in our territory. We do not understand what the government has against the CCIs" — Mr. Jacques Oberti "The Government indicates that the chambers have 651 million in working capital and 871 million euros in cash. Unfortunately, these are old figures, but if they are still the same, then it indicates that the 25 million are not at all out of reach" — Mr. Philippe Juvin "As you know, I am opposed to the levy on https://videos.polyfact.com/19692041_6af1cfc626339-live/manifest.m3u8 7442 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/19692041_6af1cfc626339-vod 2026-11-09 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/19692041_6af1cfc626339-vod/20261109161539/1280.jpg Commission des finances : Projet de loi de finances de fin de gestion pour 2026 Finance Committee: Examination of the 2026 Year-End Finance Bill The Finance Committee examined the 2026 Year-End Finance Bill (PLFG). General Rapporteur Philippe Juvin defended the need to limit the deterioration of public finances in the face of a 5% deficit, specifying that the credit cancellations represent only 0.8% of the authorized credits. Conversely, Éric Coquerel and several deputies criticized the cancellation of previously voted credits, denouncing a practice where the Government prohibits the commitment of expenditures via mission letters only to subsequently cancel them. Debates focused on numerous amendments aimed at bailing out sectors deemed priority. Claire Lejeune and Shéhérazade Bentorki raised alarms regarding cuts affecting road safety, emergency housing, health, and education, particularly the need for 3,000 additional teachers. Specific concerns were expressed regarding the situation in New Caledonia, concerning the funding of the fight against gender-based violence and support for youth following the 2024 riots. The text was ultimately rejected by the Committee. The opposition pointed to the massive use of the precautionary reserve to justify 1.933 billion euros in cancellations across 72 programs. Éric Coquerel proposed lowering the mandatory threshold for triggering a supplementary finance bill to 0.5% of credits to strengthen parliamentary control over these year-end movements. • "Who is in favor? Second part and the text as a whole. Who is against? Rejected" (Mr. Éric Coquerel, 02:03:10) • "with a 5% deficit, I think we must ensure we limit the deterioration of public finances, therefore unfavorable opinion" (Mr. Philippe Juvin, 35:41) • "And so here, 72 of the 112 programs concerned have a reason for cancellation that invokes the precautionary reserve for a total of 1.933 billion euros cancelled" (Ms. Christine Arrighi, 01:56:34) • "ensure that a PLFR is triggered from 0.5% of credits, and not 1.5 as is the case, 1.2 as is the case today, so that, from the moment cancellations https://videos.polyfact.com/19692041_6af1cfc626339-vod/manifest.m3u8 7464 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/20261109-1430-DELEGATION-DACP-vod 2026-11-09 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/20261109-1430-DELEGATION-DACP-vod/20261109150111/1280.jpg Plenary session of the Pacific-EU Parliamentary Assembly First Plenary Session of the Pacific-EU Parliamentary Assembly on the Samoa Agreement Gheorghe Piperea declared open the first plenary session of the Pacific-EU Parliamentary Assembly, established under the Samoa Agreement. This regional forum brings together representatives from the Pacific and the European Union on an equal footing. Members emphasized that the assembly must move beyond dialogue to become a driving force for concrete political action and the ratification of the Samoa Agreement. Sven Simon highlighted the importance of financing and economic development, recognizing the exceptional challenges facing Pacific island countries. He argued that cooperation should aim for more than just improving partners' ability to apply for European funding, advocating for a balanced mix of financing instruments including guarantees and blended finance. Additionally, speakers noted that partnerships must respect Pacific sovereignty and development choices amidst growing geopolitical competition. Climate change was identified as an immediate concern, with a focus on keeping the 1.5 degrees Celsius goal within reach and securing climate finance. Participants noted that while geographically distant, both regions face shared challenges such as rising seas, floods, and droughts. The assembly reviewed a draft recommendation for the Pacific-EU Council, with a formal opening scheduled in the European Parliament hemicycle and voting set for the following morning. • « This is actually the first plenary session of the Pacific-EU Parliamentary Assembly, which I now declare open » (Gheorghe PIPEREA, 06:10) • « Anyway, with the Samoa Agreement, we now have a regional parliamentary forum bringing together representatives from the Pacific and European Union, and we do this on a on an equal footing » (Gheorghe PIPEREA, 07:03) • « As parliamentarians, we must also help advance ratification of the Samoa Agreement and follow its implementation closely » (Intervenant 8, 09:23) • « Let me turn to one issue that I consider particularly https://videos.polyfact.com/20261109-1430-DELEGATION-DACP-vod/manifest.m3u8 3779 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/20261109-1430-DELEGATION-DACP-live 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/it-camera-32810-live 2026-11-09 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/it-camera-32810-live/20261109201507/1280.jpg Disegno di legge di bilancio per il 2027 (C. 3174-bis) -

Ms. Yaël Braun-Pivet and Ms. Catherine Vautrin highlighted the opening of a major field of cooperation on advanced nuclear deterrence, while specifying that the final decision remains a sovereign French competence. The fight against hybrid threats and cyberattacks is being strengthened by sharing the expertise of the French service VIGINUM with Germany. On the industrial front, debates focused on the need for a European preference for arms procurement. Ms. Vautrin affirmed that European money must go primarily to their own industry to guarantee sovereign technological bases. However, difficulties persist regarding major joint projects: while the SCAF and MGCS are considered essential for interoperability, industrial rivalries and insufficient contractual structures have slowed their progress, leading to the halt of certain segments such as the NGF. The Assembly also examined economic and societal issues, noting a daily trade deficit of one billion euros with China. To address this, trade shields and a diversification of strategic supplies are being proposed. Finally, the parliamentarians adopted resolutions on pediatric oncology research, the ecological management of the Rhine, and the extension of the Fête de la Musique to the Franco-German level, although proposals on artificial intelligence were rejected due to a lack of consensus on their objectives. • "We must demonstrate more responsibility, take our security more into our own hands, and France and Germany, it cannot be otherwise, have an essential role to play.

Ms. Yaël Braun-Pivet and Ms. Catherine Vautrin highlighted the opening of a major field of cooperation on advanced nuclear deterrence, including early warning and ground-based air defense. Military and financial support for Ukraine must remain unwavering, particularly through the use of frozen Russian assets for reconstruction. On the economic front, the debates focused on Europe's one-billion-euro-per-day trade deficit with China. France and Germany are proposing trade shields and defending the principle of European preference. The goal is for European money to go primarily to their own defense industry to ensure a sovereign technological base, despite the abandonment of certain projects like the FCAS. The parliamentarians also examined concrete cooperation in the space sector, pediatric therapeutic research, and the management of natural resources such as the Rhine aquifer. The issue of digital sovereignty and artificial intelligence was the subject of discussions on the need to reduce dependence on large foreign technology groups while protecting democratic pluralism. • "And our two countries, following the decision of the President of the Republic, have also opened a major field of cooperation, that of advanced nuclear deterrence" (Ms. Yaël Braun-Pivet, 57:00) • "During the Franco-German Council of Ministers in Brühl, a staggering figure was recalled: Europe faces a trade deficit of 1 billion euros with China every day" (Ms. Yaël Braun-Pivet, 58:31) • "My conviction is that European money must go primarily to Europeans and their industry, which must translate very concretely into skilled jobs, new programs entrusted to our design offices, in Germany as in France" (Ms. Catherine Vautrin, 01:16:05) • "The war of aggression that Russia https://videos.polyfact.com/19692006_6af1ca5448c7d-vod/manifest.m3u8 17528 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/20261109-1400-SPECIAL-PRESSER-vod 2026-11-09 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/20261109-1400-SPECIAL-PRESSER-vod/20261109141605/1280.jpg Press conference by Francisco ASSIS (S&D, PT), Chair of the OACPS-EU JPA Delegation on the 2nd Press conference by Francisco ASSIS (S&D, PT), Chair of the OACPS-EU JPA Delegation on the 2nd plenary session of the Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States–European Union **Samoa Agreement and Multilateral Cooperation** « Desde a sua entrada em vigor em janeiro de 2024, o Acordo de Samoa tem constituído o quadro de referência para uma das parcerias de cooperação multilateral mais ambiciosas, abrangentes e juridicamente vinculativas do mundo » — Francisco ASSIS « Esta conferência é um acontecimento importante, uma vez que marca o culminar de um ano verdadeiramente histórico de compromisso parlamentar entre a Europa, a África, as Caraíbas e o Pacífico » — Francisco ASSIS « The partnership we seek is one of equals, grounded in mutual respect, shared responsibility, and mutual benefit.

This development follows an earlier statement congratulating the Israeli people on their vibrant democracy. Anouar states that there will be no further comment until a new government is formed. The intention remains to engage with the new government based on a longstanding relationship and a commitment to common values and democratic principles.

Consequently, Georgia was not invited to the upcoming enlargement forum. For the ministerial meeting on connectivity, Georgian authorities were invited but at a lower level, as participation is decided on a case-by-case basis. A new EU Sanctions Office has been created within the Commission to manage the entire life cycle of sanctions, including design, implementation, outreach to third countries, and anti-circumvention. This office will bring together expertise from across the Commission to address these topics. Additionally, an informal task force will be established to focus on crypto sanctions.

The Commission noted that a date for the vote on the update has not yet been set and will check the specific steps in the process regarding how to proceed following the objection. • « Yes.

While current levels are below the historic average, the Commission states there are no security of supply issues for the time being. The Gas Coordination Group continues to meet regularly to monitor the situation and take stock of member state positions. There is a noted discrepancy between member states, with some exceeding 80% storage targets while others, such as Germany, remain below 60%. Although legislative measures from 2022 are in place to ensure market stability, the Commission indicates that the current situation does not require triggering emergency measures. Unlike in 2022, there is no supply issue at this time. • « You gave a good lay of the land there in your question already.

This measure addresses the dire humanitarian situation where citizens are suffering without water, electricity, and heating due to the deliberate targeting of infrastructure.

Around 60% of the population is in critical condition, requiring shelter and non-food assistance. The Commission warns that these dire conditions increase exposure to diseases and pests. Since October 2023, the European Union has allocated nearly 700 million euros in humanitarian aid and organized approximately 90 air bridges to deliver essential supplies. However, officials emphasize that not all crossings are open and continue to call on the Israeli government for full, rapid, safe, and unhindered access to the territory to alleviate suffering. Regarding the evacuation of visa holders, the Commission clarified that evacuations and visa matters remain the responsibility of individual member states. The EU's role in evacuations is limited to the Medevac system, which facilitates the transfer of people in critical medical conditions to European hospitals. • « But as I said we need full access to be able to deliver, together with our partners, this essential supply. So again we call for rapid, safe and unhindered access to Gaza to be able to alleviate suffering of the people there » (Intervenant 5, 03:38) • « It's changing, and not all the crossings are open for humanitarian aid.

This decision includes a 0.6% "boost" beyond the automatic inflation adjustment. Sébastien Lecornu emphasizes that this is the second-largest increase in 20 years, while noting that the impact on employment is estimated at between 5,000 and 20,000 job losses. A project to reform general payroll tax exemptions is being launched to restore flexibility to professional branches in wage discussions. A decree will be published to condition these exemptions on compliance with collective bargaining minimums. Furthermore, the government is asking branches to open rapid negotiations starting next week, under the supervision of a new wage monitoring committee. Several purchasing power support measures are confirmed, notably the maintenance of the profit-sharing bonus (prime de partage de la valeur) cap at 1,000 euros and the raising of the tax-exemption ceiling for overtime to 10,000 euros. The 75% coverage of public transport subscriptions is also extended. Finally, transparency regarding public aid received by companies will be strengthened through mandatory information provided to Social and Economic Committees (CSE).

The European Commission is currently finalizing a positive assessment of Moldova's interim benchmarks on fundamentals, known as the IBAR, and expects the Council to greenlight the opening of the remaining two clusters. If reform progress continues at this speed, Moldova is on a credible path to conclude accession negotiations in early 2028. Independent courts, the fight against corruption, and strong democratic institutions are identified as the decisive tests for membership readiness. Commissioner Kos expressed her intention to start closing chapters next year, noting that the support of member states is essential for the process to move forward. Regarding financial assistance, a new financial support package will be prepared in 2027, building upon the existing 1.9 billion euro growth plan. Current European investments are already being used to modernize schools, improve infrastructure, and provide cleaner water, while helping businesses access the European market to create jobs. • « So when the reform progress continues at this speed, this would put you on a credible path towards concluding accession negotiations in early 2028 » (Marta Kos, 03:23) • « We expect the Council to give its green light to opening the remaining two clusters.

Senator Filippo Sensi describes the assassination as the black box of a political and civil era in the country, emphasizing the need to shed light on a death that has remained opaque. The Order of Journalists of Lazio, already established as an injured party, supports the impetus provided by lawyer Stefano Maccioni to move beyond previous judicial reconstructions. Participants in the conference contest the official version that identified the seventeen-year-old Pelosi as the sole culprit, defining it as contrary to logic and physical evidence, such as the absence of blood on the boy's clothes despite the brutality of the crime. An appeal is made to the Public Prosecutor's Office to act quickly to ascertain the actual responsibilities, following the model already adopted for the Enrico Mattei case. The key to the motive is identified in Pasolini's intellectual work, particularly in the book Petrolio and the references to Eugenio Cefis, indicated by SISMI sources as the founder of the P2 lodge. The speakers urge investigations into the links between the poet's death and other Italian mysteries, including the Mattei and De Mauro cases, highlighting how the destruction of historical memory has been a persistent project of recent decades. • « the investigation was reopened a week ago and after 51 years today perhaps there is a possibility to shed light on a situation, on a murder that is still very opaque » (Speaker 2, 00:00) • « Pasolini's death is not just an open case, the magistrates will say this, but his murder is somewhat the black box of a political, civil season of our country and its long duration » (Filippo Sensi, 01:25) • « The key to the motive is there, there is no solution to a murder without the identification of the motive, it is not a sexual motive as https://videos.polyfact.com/it-senato-126796-vod/manifest.m3u8 3433 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/I-297164-vod 2026-11-09 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/I-297164-vod/20261109113021/1280.jpg European Commission Executive Vice-President Teresa RIBERA in Lisbon, Portugal at the public European Commission Vice-President Teresa Ribera presents Centre for Climate Security and Resilience **Climate change reality and science** « And this is marvelous, because we need much of that, people willing to build bridges instead of people willing to build walls.

Her figure is an example of tenacity against the discrimination of racial laws that prohibited her from exercising academic functions. Through the Levi-Montalcini Foundation and the Levi-Montalcini Association, her legacy continues in 125 schools named after her, promoting the idea that there are no differences in intellectual capacity between males and females. Merit must not be a privilege but a path built with commitment and willpower. To value talent, it is necessary to guarantee decent starting conditions and offer concrete opportunities, especially in difficult contexts. Through the PNRR, 600 million euros have been allocated to training paths to develop STEM, digital, and linguistic skills. The OECD PISA results show the solidity of Italian schools, with students reaching 471 points in mathematics. STEM disciplines are considered tools of active citizenship that teach critical thinking. Projects like the STEM Lab introduce experimentation and problem solving from preschool age to combat school dropout. Local initiatives, such as those in Mesagne, demonstrate how a passion for knowledge and robotics can unite young people, while institutions must act as guarantors so that a young person from the provinces has the same professional growth opportunities as someone living in Rome. New generations face challenges such as artificial intelligence, which requires being understood in its deep mechanisms, and the need to distinguish reliable information from fake news. The issue of brain drain remains open, understood as the difficulty in bringing back those who work abroad. On a regulatory level, Law 70 of 2024 represents a further step for the protection of students and the fight against phenomena such as bullying. • « Aunt Rita in 1986 won the Nobel Prize for discovering a thing, a https://videos.polyfact.com/it-senato-126793-vod/manifest.m3u8 6162 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/it-camera-32801-live 2026-11-09 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/it-camera-32801-live/20261109124602/1280.jpg L'ecosistema della sicurezza integrata - Messaggio di Ascani Alle ore 9.30, presso l'Aula dei Gruppi parlamentari si svolge il convegno "L'ecosistema della sicurezza integrata".

The economic dimension of insecurity is enormous: the non-observed economy is worth 217 billion euros, equal to 10% of GDP, while the global damage from cybercrime is estimated at 10.5 trillion euros, about the third largest GDP in the world. In this scenario, a small supplier can block a large supply chain, making security a vital issue for the entire country's production system. Institutions emphasize the need to evolve the Consolidated Law 81, created 19 years ago, to integrate cyber issues and continuous training for employers and employees. New European regulations, such as NIS 2, require companies to know their vulnerabilities, shifting responsibility directly onto the administrative body and the board of directors. Security must be considered an enabling investment for competitiveness and not just a cost or a regulatory compliance burden. In public procurement, the risk of substantial dependency emerges: an administration that loses control of the architectures it depends on cannot fully exercise its functions. It is necessary to govern the execution phase of contracts through concrete and verifiable cybersecurity clauses. Particular attention is paid to cognitive sovereignty, especially in the justice system, where the integration of artificial intelligence into databases puts the freedom of judgment at stake. The concept of crypto-agility is also introduced to ensure that archives and identities can change algorithms without losing value in the face of the advent of quantum computing. The response to threats requires synergy between the public and private sectors and a culture of prevention based on risk predictability. Cassa Depositi e Prestiti plans to invest 81 billion euros over the next three years to support national strategic autonomy and disruptive technologies.

The committee is examining women's health, and the session covered postnatal care. Prosser said "I received a total of 0 hours of breastfeeding training during my time as a medical student." He urged breastfeeding medicine be included in medical and midwifery training. Committee chair Senator Marielle Smith, a Labor senator for South Australia, said she had asked several people and could not get a straight answer, saying there seems to be no standardised level of training. Some, she said, report a brief moment in their degree, others none at all. ### Midwife seeks Medicare cover to 12 weeks Lynda Wilson, an endorsed midwife and lactation consultant, asked the committee for a dedicated Medicare item number for follow-up with endorsed midwives through to 12 weeks after birth. She said "There needs to be a dedicated Medicare item number for clinically indicated follow-up with suitably trained endorsed midwives through to 12 weeks". Prosser asked for extended midwifery postnatal item numbers out to four months and possibly up to six months. Asked about rebates, Wilson said lactation consultants who are not endorsed midwives get no rebate, so women often pay out of pocket. ### Researcher says no national breastfeeding data since 2010 Sharon Perrella, a lactation researcher, midwife and child health nurse, said the most recent comprehensive national data dates from 2010. She said that with no comprehensive data in 15 years, "I can't actually tell you how close or how far we are to that goal" of the National Breastfeeding Strategy's 50% exclusive breastfeeding target. Asked by Smith about the strategy, Perrella said without support to implement the recommendations, "it's just https://videos.polyfact.com/au-parliament-5108824-c2-vod/manifest.m3u8 3480 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/au-parliament-5103366-c2-live 2026-11-09 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/au-parliament-5103366-c2-live/20261109061527/1280.jpg Senate Economics References Committee - Melbourne, VIC (part 2 of 2) Official Recording of Senate Committee Proceedings from the Australian Parliament https://videos.polyfact.com/au-parliament-5103366-c2-live/manifest.m3u8 8280 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/au-parliament-5103366-c2-vod 2026-11-09 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/au-parliament-5103366-c2-vod/20261109100149/1280.jpg Senate Economics References Committee - Melbourne, VIC (part 2 of 2) Homelessness groups urge supported housing for complex needs ### Cole says supported housing needed Natalie Joy Cole, Director of Policy at Homelessness Australia, told the Senate Economics References Committee that some people need both a home and ongoing support to keep it. The committee was examining the social housing challenge at a hearing in Melbourne on Monday 9 November 2026. Cole said the shortage of social housing is pushing more people into homelessness and making exits harder. She said only 3.9% of people seeking long-term housing from a homelessness provider in 2024-25 were housed. Her submission identified 31,000 people with persistent or at-risk homelessness and serious or complex mental health issues. Witnesses were asked to answer questions on notice by 24 November 2026. ### Hills seeks 6% social housing target Jackson Hills of National Shelter told the committee social housing has fallen from around 6 to 7% of housing stock in the 1990s to around 4%. He said National Shelter wants a pathway to at least 6% as an interim milestone, with 10% as a longer-term ambition, and a 20-year commitment. ### Cole says homelessness data incomplete Asked how good the data is, Cole said the most accurate source is census data more than five years old. She said the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare collection misses people turned away, so the full extent of homelessness is unknown. ### Mallee Family Care seeks regional stream Teresa Jayet, CEO of Mallee Family Care, told the committee Mildura has no youth refuge beds. She asked for a regional stream in the Housing Australia Future Fund so small regional projects are not judged against metropolitan costs. ### Older people's groups seek dedicated funding Fiona York, executive officer of Housing for the Aged Action Group, asked for a Housing Australia Future Fund stream ring-fenced for older people. Jane Barnes, chief executive officer of Wintringham, said the fund is not fit for specialist providers like hers, which cannot take on debt, and sought capital https://videos.polyfact.com/au-parliament-5103366-c2-vod/manifest.m3u8 8280 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/au-parliament-5103358-c2-live 2026-11-09 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/au-parliament-5103358-c2-live/20261109063053/1280.jpg Senate Environment and Communications Legislation Committee (part 2 of 2) Official Recording of Senate Committee Proceedings from the Australian Parliament https://videos.polyfact.com/au-parliament-5103358-c2-live/manifest.m3u8 11760 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/au-parliament-5103358-c2-vod 2026-11-09 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/au-parliament-5103358-c2-vod/20261109110101/1280.jpg Senate Environment and Communications Legislation Committee (part 2 of 2) Human Rights Commission says duty of care bill needs amendment ### Commission wants substantial amendment Australian Human Rights Commissioner Lorraine Finlay told the Senate Environment and Communications Legislation Committee, at its hearing on the digital duty of care bill on Monday 9 November 2026, that the bill needs substantial amendment. She was answering Liberal senator Sarah Henderson, who asked whether the Australian Human Rights Commission could support the bill in its current form. Finlay said: "In our view, Senator, the bill needs substantial amendment." She said the Commission continues to believe in a digital duty of care in principle, but that details matter. The Commission's president, Hugh de Kretser, said the Commission has argued for the duty for over 2 years. The Commission recommended that an individual right of action be delayed until a statutory review 12 months after the duty begins. Answers on notice are due by Friday 13 November 2026. ### Finlay flags vague 'hostile attitudes' test Finlay told the committee the phrase "hostile attitudes" in the bill is a problem. Henderson asked whether women advocating for single-sex spaces could be classed as promoting hostile attitudes. Finlay said "hostile attitudes is not a settled legal concept, and it's inherently subjective and therefore it's a problematic legal standard". She said private companies would be incentivised not to test the boundaries because of the penalties. On sock puppet identities, Finlay said that if the intention is monitoring and compliance, it should be made expressly clear in the legislation. ### TikTok pressed on self-harm and tax Independent senator David Pocock pressed TikTok's Jessika Lofstedt on self-harm content, citing a Canberra mother whose daughter was fed such content. He asked: "how can you seriously try and tell the committee that you don't have that content on your platform when you clearly do". Lofstedt said self-harm material is excluded by TikTok's community guidelines, and asked for examples. She said https://videos.polyfact.com/au-parliament-5103358-c2-vod/manifest.m3u8 11760 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/au-parliament-5103369-c1-live 2026-11-09 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/au-parliament-5103369-c1-live/20261109034526/1280.jpg House Standing Committee on Social Policy and Legal Affairs Official Recording of House of Representatives Committee Proceedings from the Australian Parliament https://videos.polyfact.com/au-parliament-5103369-c1-live/manifest.m3u8 4980 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/au-parliament-5103369-c1-vod 2026-11-09 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/au-parliament-5103369-c1-vod/20261109064539/1280.jpg House Standing Committee on Social Policy and Legal Affairs Edwards urges default carry-over of protection orders ### Edwards urges default carry-over of protection orders Terese Edwards, CEO of Single Mother Families Australia, told the House Standing Committee on Social Policy and Legal Affairs on Monday 9 November 2026 that state protection orders should be moved automatically into parenting orders. The committee is holding a hearing for its inquiry into the relationship between domestic, family and sexual violence and suicide. Edwards said: "we would like it to be a default that there is, if there is any state protection orders in, that they are immediately transferred across to a parenting order and reinstated." She said the functionality exists but depends on individual judges. Asked by committee chair Louise Miller-Frost, Labor member for Boothby, Edwards said that if an apprehended violence order (AVO) is recognised in the parenting order, "it gives police jurisdiction, but if it's removed from that parenting order, it doesn't." ### Hay says child self-harm is a response to coercive control Cherise Hay, a psychologist, PhD candidate and single mother with lived experience, said children in her private practice are self-harming and suicidal because of post-separation abuse. She said "self-harm and suicidality in our young people is actually a normal response to living with ongoing coercive control." The chair had asked about children being recognised as victim-survivors. Edwards separately argued that relocation rules are restrictive and said "if he's used violence, I think that mitigates any right for him to control where her and her children live." ### Women avoid reporting litigation abuse, witnesses say Asked by Independent MP Kate Chaney about litigation abuse and suicidality, Edwards said women described years of court attendance, with cases running 5 or 7 years. She said women she asked had not used provisions on litigation abuse, because "we have been in court so long, we are not now going to go back to court and ask and put on the record that he's used https://videos.polyfact.com/au-parliament-5103369-c1-vod/manifest.m3u8 4980 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/nt-20261109-1794189771785-live 2026-11-09 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/nt-20261109-1794189771785-live/20261109134542/1280.jpg Legislative Assembly of the Northern Territory – broadcast of 9 November 2026 Legislative Assembly of the Northern Territory (Darwin), official broadcast of 9 November 2026, from 11:33 am ACST (live).

Acting Under Treasurer Michelle Dowdell told the committee: "we don't have an ongoing monitoring or verification of that register." Liberal MLA Ed Cocks said he had found 111 notifiable contracts with variations that appear to be missing any attachment at all. Chantel Potter, Acting Executive Group Manager for Procurement ACT, said there is "not a formal rolling audit program". Officials said directorates hold responsibility for notification. Cocks asked for the number of breaches identified in 2025-26 and said annual reports show at least 30 late notifications; officials said they would take it on notice. ### Official says local spend data hard to get Chantel Potter, Acting Executive Group Manager for Procurement ACT, said: "It's really difficult to get those numbers out of our system." She cited subcontracting in large projects and no central way to track invoice payments. She said contracts notified since July now record Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander status, small business status and local status. She said no baseline exists for the new data. ### Supplier list checks questioned Independent MLA Thomas Emerson said a company on the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander supplier list used an email address of another firm's chief executive. Potter would not discuss individual businesses and said monthly audits check ABNs against Supply Nation records. An official then said emails are not audited. Potter said the list does not require suppliers to be local and took on notice a request for the master list of categories excluded from addressable spend. ### Barr: Uriarra battery is private Asked by Independent MLA Fiona Carrick about a battery proposal at Uriarra, Barr said: "It's not a government project." He said the proponent holds https://videos.polyfact.com/au-act-ecfec88dfbad477cba1f75e2edba3429-50e43707d4ef4b32aa71d6018c7ab792-vod/manifest.m3u8 15653 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/au-wa-6c6814d1f8754336bcfc5af97f790f7a-vod 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/au-wa-6c6814d1f8754336bcfc5af97f790f7a-vod/20261110033022/1280.jpg Community Development and Justice Standing Committee (Public Advocate, 9 November 2026) Public Advocate seeks power to compel evidence in investigations ### Public Advocate wants power to compel evidence Public Advocate Pauline Bagdonavicius told the Community Development and Justice Standing Committee (Western Australia) on Monday 9 November 2026 that her office needs the power to compel production of evidence. The committee is examining the work of the Office of the Public Advocate, which makes guardianship decisions and investigates matters referred by the State Administrative Tribunal (SAT). Asked by a committee member about new powers, Bagdonavicius said: "We have very limited powers, we really need to do it on the consent of the person about whom we're making the inquiries, generally speaking." She said this makes it hard to source information from general practitioners, and that the office can seek tribunal orders in some cases. She said the proposal was put in the office's response to the Law Reform Commission's report. ### Short-notice tribunal referrals strain investigators Debra Casey, the office's Manager, Advocacy, Investigation and Legal, said the tribunal sends many very short-notice referrals. She said: "I think last week, I had four or five matters that were for hearing today." Bagdonavicius said the office has 33 staff on its advocacy and investigation team. Casey said hearings proceed on the tribunal's timeframes, and investigators may recommend adjournments or short-term orders. ### Casey says slowing applications would cut appointments Casey told the committee: "I think if everybody slowed things down a little bit, there would be more appointments of anybody as a guardian or administrator." She said hospitals and families rush decisions, and that aged care rules now require a decision-maker. ### Courts cannot flag people under guardianship, Public Advocate says Bagdonavicius said, in reply to Labor MP Lisa Munday, that people in the court system are not immediately identified as under guardianship.

The committee is examining the Public Trustee's operations and its governance. Committee chair Peter Rundle raised a newspaper report that the agency drew A$10 million from its business development reserve and had A$896,000 left. The witness identified as the Public Trustee said the agency would then receive a partial appropriation. In his words, "as of 1 July 27, this is when a new funding model comes in place where we won't be self-funded anymore." He said the reserves were used because Treasury recommended they cover fee relief rather than appropriation, and that the model removes cross-subsidisation, the Auditor General's main concern as he recalled it. Fee relief continues until 1 July 2027. ### Wills on Wheels tightened, not cut Yasmin Seale, Principal Legal Officer at the Public Trustee, said the Wills on Wheels service had not been cut. She told the committee: "It hasn't been reduced. We've tightened the criteria." Seale said the service is usually for people in hospital within 40 km of the Perth CBD office, and had been used by people with high-value estates. She called the newspaper article a little misleading. ### Compensation team faces high caseload Seale told a question from Labor MP Dan Bull that the compensation team handles about 443 matters with 3.4 full-time equivalent staff. She said the whole legal team had upwards of 900 matters with 18.5 lawyers: "That's a lot, that's a high caseload for lawyers." She said no limitation period had been missed, and that funding for a paralegal "would be ideal". She said obtaining historical child abuse records from the Department of Communities requires Freedom of Information requests. ### Release from prison gap in notification Sarah https://videos.polyfact.com/au-wa-83436ccd99cd45209e7d2e2911e589c8-vod/manifest.m3u8 4108 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/au-parliament-5103361-c1-live 2026-11-09 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/au-parliament-5103361-c1-live/20261109061521/1280.jpg Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security Official Recording of Joint Committee Proceedings from the Australian Parliament https://videos.polyfact.com/au-parliament-5103361-c1-live/manifest.m3u8 10491 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/au-parliament-5103361-c1-vod 2026-11-09 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/au-parliament-5103361-c1-vod/20261109091517/1280.jpg Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security AI chatbots and cloning outpace the law, inquiry told ### Jones says law lags on AI extremism Dr Samantha Jones, a lecturer in criminology at Charles Sturt University, told the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security that Australian law does not cover AI chatbots and cloning used in extremism. The committee is holding public hearings on 9 November 2026 for its inquiry into the nature and drivers of radicalisation in Australia. Jones said: "we don't have the legislation to support what is currently happening with the utilisation of AI and chatbots, so this would be something that we would need to be looking into." Deputy Chair Andrew Wallace, an LNP member, asked her to take on notice what the gaps in current legislation are and how to close them. Chair Senator Raff Ciccone, a Labor senator, later asked witnesses to return answers on notice by Friday 13 November. ### Roose urges grooming offence and platform scrutiny Joshua Mark Roose, associate professor of politics at Deakin University and director of research and policy at the DOHR Foundation, gave five priorities to the committee. One was to examine a targeted offence for grooming children into violent extremism, with safeguards for lawful instruction. He also said hosts of comment threads should be held to account, citing a case in which 242 comments were removed after notification but many more remained. ### ANU panel favours disengagement as goal Associate Professor Emily Corner of the Australian National University said practitioners are more likely to treat disengagement as a realistic goal than deradicalisation.

He defends a vision of gross salary that includes social security contributions to fund social protection. Opposing the supply-side policy he deems responsible for the threat of recession, he calls for making capital pay, noting that the CAC 40 has paid out 452 billion euros in dividends and share buybacks since 2021. Regarding energy, the candidate supports investment in the six future EPR reactors, considering nuclear power essential for decarbonizing the economy and lowering electricity bills by 30%. He advocates for the creation of a public energy hub and the nationalization of major groups, the cost of which would be spread over 50 to 60 years. He criticizes the profits of Total, estimated between 25 and 30 billion euros, which he claims were made on the back of the war. Concerning education, Fabien Roussel denounces Parcoursup as an unfair selection tool linked to a shortage of 150,000 places in higher education. He wishes to restore the utility of the baccalaureate and establish a study grant without means testing, financed by the reinstatement of the wealth tax (ISF). To fund these priorities, he opposes the six-billion-euro increase in the military budget and calls for an audit of its expenditures. Finally, he confirms his designation as the French Communist Party's candidate for the presidential election with over 70% support. He advocates for a gathering of the left around a credible program to win against the National Rally, which he accuses of opposing wage increases despite its social rhetoric. • "We ourselves on the left are proposing in the same range, between a 10 to 15% increase in the minimum wage" (Mr. Fabien Roussel, 00:51) • "How can we meet the climate challenge that is at the heart of the issue, how can we lower electricity bills if we don't invest in nuclear https://www.youtube.com/embed/-crmm1UXPzw 2836 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/-iDkz7Rp8JI 2026-11-09 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/-iDkz7Rp8JI/hqdefault.jpg Dans notre pays, on a un sujet avec l’intégration dans la nation.

She points out that the law stipulates that the SMIC (minimum wage) must be indexed to price increases and inflation, which would mechanically bring its amount to 1,493 euros on January 1, 2027. According to the LFI group president, the government's proposal represents an increase of only 7 euros net. She deems this amount indecent, specifying that it is equivalent to less than half the price of a pack of diapers, at a time when one in three people in the country skips meals to feed their children. • "You have to understand the scam of what is happening. The law states that the SMIC must be indexed to price increases, therefore to inflation. This means that by law, on January 1, 2027, the SMIC should have been, and will be, at 1,493 euros. This means that what the government is proposing is a 7-euro net increase in the SMIC, which is less than half the price of a pack of diapers in this country.

According to Jean-Pierre Farandou, Minister of Labor, this measure allows the wage to cross the €1,500 net per month threshold, reaching exactly €1,502. This revaluation represents an increase of approximately €24 net per month, although the bulk of this rise was already expected for January. This announcement is not enough to calm union pressure. Sophie Binet, for the CGT, denounces the amounts as insufficient in the face of the high cost of living and issues within public services. The union is calling for a day of strikes and demonstrations on November 17th, initially planned for the civil service, but which the general secretary now wishes to extend to all employees. • "We have decided to bring forward the minimum wage increase to December 1st and we have decided to set this increase at 1.6%.

Minimum wage increase and purchasing power: debate on the economy and labor The government has announced a 1.6% increase in the minimum wage (SMIC) effective December 1st, bringing the net salary to €1,502. This measure, described by some participants as a simple adjustment for inflation, represents a gain of €5, which unions have labeled as derisory. The Minister of Labor warns that raising the net minimum wage to €1,700 would destroy 230,000 jobs due to the increased production costs for businesses. The debate highlights a contraction in French wealth and a system of employer contribution exemptions that is among the most generous in the world. While 10 million French people live near the poverty line, the proportion of employees stuck at the minimum wage level is identified as a major problem, with the minimum wage having risen twice as fast as the average salary since 2000. Faced with rising diesel prices, the government proposes to maintain the fuel allowance cap at €1,000 for next year. To restart the productive engine, several participants are calling for a reconstruction of the country and a reform of the relationship with work, noting an insufficient employment rate compared to neighboring countries despite the 35-hour work week. • "And so, as we just said, it will finally be a 1.6% increase for the SMIC starting December 1st, announced by the government following the social conference with employers and unions" (Amélie Carrouër, 01:03:22) • "The Minister of Labor even gave a figure, the following figure: a net SMIC of 1,700 euros would mean 230,000 jobs destroyed because of the cost to businesses" (Amélie Carrouër, 26:42) • "The real solution, the only solution, is how we restart the French productive engine to be able to increase wages" (Rafik Smati, 23:36) • "I believe that in France, the main problem is less the level of the SMIC, which is actually higher than that of a good portion of our neighbors, it is the share of French people who are stuck at the SMIC level" (Mr. Gabriel Attal, 39:47) • "We https://www.youtube.com/embed/1vU75BMv3kA 3859 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/22szbIgeUmw 2026-11-09 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/22szbIgeUmw/hqdefault.jpg Teddy Riner annonce sa candidature à la prochaine élection présidentielle Announcement of Teddy Riner's candidacy for the 2027 presidential election Five-time Olympic judo champion Teddy Riner has officially announced his candidacy for the 2027 presidential election.

Dutchman Klaas Knot, the favorite over Spaniard Pablo Hernández de Cos, has declared himself ready to act in the event of a sovereign debt crisis. Klaas Knot mentions the use of existing instruments such as the OMT and the TPI, while also stating he is open to creating new tools. However, this aid comes with a condition of fiscal discipline: the ECB would not act to support states that do not make the necessary efforts to reduce their deficit and follow a sound trajectory. This position serves as a signal for France, which would not receive a blank check. According to the speakers, the country has no choice but to reduce its deficits, or else be forced to do so to obtain an intervention from the ECB, a situation that would primarily affect civil servants and the poorest citizens. • "The Eurogroup is now getting to work to try and appoint a successor. And Rodolphe Stephan has spotted the promises of one of the two favorites, the Dutchman Klaas Knot. Klaas Knot, indeed, explains to the Financial Times that he is ready, that he would be ready as ECB President to act in the event of a debt crisis.

Yes" — Speaker 3 "Well yes, it's the measure expected to be made official during the day, an increase in the minimum wage of around 1.6%.

If students deprive others of their lessons, sanctions may be applied. Parents play an important role by coming to talk with the young people rather than clearing the blockades by force. Last week, about fifty additional students were injured by other young people, notably by mortar fire. This violence, which falls outside a legal framework, must be condemned. Furthermore, success workshops can be organized with volunteer teachers who are funded for this purpose. On the institutional level, a social conference on salaries is being held with unions, followed by discussions with students and high schoolers regarding the future of Parcoursup.

This increase includes an additional boost beyond inflation, a first since 2012. The government justifies the measure by stating that a larger increase would have been detrimental to employment. Trade unions are strongly criticizing this announcement. Virginie Neumayer of the CGT denounces a "PR stunt" and "crumbs," pointing out that the actual increase represents about 77 cents per day per worker. The CGT is demanding wage negotiations indexed to 3.4% inflation and points to the €61 billion in dividends paid out by CAC 40 companies. The social situation remains concerning, with 10 million French people living below the poverty line and 2.3 million working poor. While some experts link the decline in purchasing power to a slowdown in productivity and the cost of social protection, trade union organizations insist on the urgency of unfreezing the index point in the civil service and increasing wages in the private sector. • "First of all, the first announcement and perhaps the one that was expected and will remain in people's minds, is the increase in the SMIC, +1.6%" (Speaker 2, 00:00) • "The SMIC increases according to inflation, and here there is a surplus, in any case an additional increase.

The labor market is surprising on the upside with 165,000 jobs created last month according to the ADP survey, a level described as very strong and comparable to the 2000s if revisions are included. Despite this vigor in consumption and overall investment, residential investment remains the last pocket of fragility. This sector is suffering from high interest rates, with the number of positive quarters for residential investment over the last three years countable on the fingers of one hand. In financial markets, a disconnection is occurring: while "Main Street" is doing very well, "Wall Street" is worried about valuations and uncertainties related to artificial intelligence or elections. Nevertheless, corporate profitability remains excellent and markets are considered relatively inexpensive after a recent de-rating. • "No, I think it is simply part of this consensus of indicators that prove, quarter after quarter, that the US economy is doing better than expected. The Federal Reserve said so during its last meeting, moving from a rating of good to strong, that is to say from a solid economy to a strong economy. We are facing a strong economy.

She recalls that France has 2.3 million working poor whose salaries are not enough to cover basic needs such as housing or food. Faced with the lack of preparation for the post-oil era, she proposes the creation of a social fleet of French and European electric vehicles, modeled on public housing (HLM), aiming for one million vehicles within 10 years. This mechanism would help build public assets rather than enriching the private sector, while supporting employment and the purchasing power of citizens who struggle to pay for heating or fuel.

There is one thing you don't necessarily learn in high school, but discover quite quickly in life: lost time cannot always be made up, 'can no longer be made up,' as Barbara even sang. This is the somewhat bitter lesson that mobilized high school students are learning at their own expense. After a month and a half of blockades, some are now demanding that the Baccalaureate exams be postponed" — Unknown speaker "They have missed too many classes, fallen too far behind in the curriculum, and they fear they won't be ready, and I understand their concern. Especially since their mobilization was not just a little teenage whim: high schools falling into ruin, absent teachers not being replaced, anxieties about Parcoursup, all of that was legitimate.

At 37, the athlete is adopting political conventions with the slogan "The France we want." He asserts that he has not given up on the Olympic Games. His platform proposes moving beyond the left-right divide and addresses pension reform, deficit reduction, and purchasing power, which he calls "power of life." Teddy Riner expresses the need for a state that prioritizes common sense, firmness, and justice rather than the quarrels of professional politicians. Although he does not yet have an official team, the candidate states he is surrounded by about twenty people, including former ministers, senior civil servants, and members of civil society. To validate his bid, he will need to obtain 500 sponsorships and raise several million euros to fund his campaign. • "My name is Teddy Riner and today, I tell you eye to eye, I am a candidate for the 2027 presidential election" (Unknown speaker, 00:23) • "It is the announcement that surprised everyone this morning: multiple Olympic judo champion Teddy Riner is a candidate for the presidential election.

While unions are demanding an increase of between 100 and 130 euros, the government could announce a rise of approximately 23 euros, including the 1.2% automatic adjustment scheduled for January 1st. Some speakers criticize a measure that does not sufficiently reward merit and experience, advocating instead for a general 10% wage increase offset by a reduction in social charges. The economic situation is marked by a lack of productivity gains since 2017 and public spending deemed excessive. Criticism is rising against the 1.6 trillion euros in additional debt accumulated during Emmanuel Macron's five-year term. Citizens and business leaders are demanding more transparency regarding the use of public funds, denouncing a tax burden that discourages work, including among liberal professions such as doctors. Business leaders are expressing concern over this minimum wage increase, the cost of which they will have to bear. Christine Kelly points out that 60% of companies are struggling to get by, to the point where their managers sometimes cannot pay themselves a salary. The testimony of entrepreneurs highlights difficult competition with social benefits and a feeling of fiscal suffocation for those who "get up in the morning." • "On one side, we have trade union organizations asking for a 100, 120, or 130 euro revaluation of the minimum wage. The government could announce an increase of about 20 euros" (Speaker 2, 00:00) • "What we know is that the minimum wage will automatically increase on January 1st by 1.2%, which is about 18 euros. So if the government announces 23 euros to us, for example, later on, which is possible, that means it's actually a 5 euro boost" (Speaker 17, 05:57) • "And today, we are going to increase the minimum wage; it's not the State that will pay for it, it's once again the companies that will be burdened to the https://www.youtube.com/embed/BcukUa17HJQ 1121 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/BfCHM5b_RrI 2026-11-09 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/BfCHM5b_RrI/hqdefault.jpg Quand les MILLIARDAIRES de la TECH veulent prendre le POUVOIR France Culture: Giuliano da Empoli analyzes the political power of tech giants Essayist Giuliano da Empoli describes the emergence of Silicon Valley 'founders,' entrepreneurs who are no longer content with just creating start-ups but now occupy entire swaths of human experience. Drawing on René Girard's concept of mimetic desire, these actors build monopolies, such as Google, which captures 90% of humanity's queries. This dominance extends to the sovereign domain through companies like Palantir, which specializes in surveillance and predictive policing. This technological power is in direct competition with state sovereignty. Artificial intelligence 'hyperscalers' manage to raise 500 billion in bonds, creating financial pressure at the expense of nations that struggle to raise funds. In Italy as elsewhere, the trajectory of debt and deficits reduces the capacity for political action, while digital giants impose a rhetoric of progress that is difficult for moderate political leaders to contest. Despite this assessment, Giuliano da Empoli believes that politics can still regain control if it decides to fully exercise its role. While tech billionaires no longer need to secede into enclaves because the whole world is starting to resemble them, the unpredictable remains possible. The current political struggle consists of deconstructing these frameworks to move beyond a reality filtered by screens and to regain control over fundamental governance processes. • 'Today these founders not only have colossal economic resources, but they indeed occupy entire swaths of human experience' (Giuliano da Empoli, 04:29) • 'His idea is that it is the monopoly that makes the company. You have to do something so unique that you have no competitors. So, pure, pure Girard' (Giuliano da Empoli, 14:28) • 'What I think is that if the political sphere decides to exercise its role, it matters, it can still carry a lot of weight, and it could even, in relation to tech, regain control' (Giuliano da Empoli, 26:49) • 'We can clearly see that https://www.youtube.com/embed/BfCHM5b_RrI 2338 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/Bg1c_KP_8sk 2026-11-09 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Bg1c_KP_8sk/hqdefault.jpg Teddy Riner : « Des constats qui peuvent être partagés par le RN », affirme Gaëtan Dussausaye Reactions within the National Rally and the political class to Teddy Riner's candidacy Teddy Riner, a five-time Olympic medalist and a figure beloved by the French, has announced his candidacy for the presidential election. The National Rally states that it shares some of the athlete's motivations and refuses to dismiss this move, unlike the central bloc teams, from Bruno Retailleau to Édouard Philippe, who are questioning his positions on debt or pensions. Teddy Riner's electoral potential is estimated at 18%, compared to 3% in a poll the previous year. Some commentators point out that he is a heavyweight candidate whose bid must be taken seriously, although the timing is questionable since he is also planning to participate in the 2028 Games. While there is no mockery regarding a candidacy like that of Christine Lagarde, Teddy Riner's arrival could target a political camp that does not currently exist. The democratic principle that anyone can run is being reiterated in response to the reactions of contempt attributed to the teams of Mr. Attal or Mr. Retailleau. • "Teddy Riner is a great French athlete who has been a five-time Olympic medalist, three times individually, twice in team events. In his presentations of his motivations for running, he makes observations that can be partially shared by the National Rally" (Unknown speaker, 00:07) • "We will not adopt that tone, which is the one used by the central bloc teams, for that matter, from Bruno Retailleau to Édouard Philippe, for one simple and good reason: the fact is that people, the French, can no longer stand being treated with contempt" (Unknown speaker, 02:11) • "Do you welcome this candidacy, given that Teddy Riner's electoral potential is polled at 18%, whereas he was tested in a poll last year and was at 3%?"

This measure is expected to apply to salaries paid at the beginning of December and January. Initially announced at exactly €1500, representing a net increase of €23, the final raise is expected to exceed this threshold according to information from BFMTV. However, this amount remains far below union demands. The CGT is calling for an immediate 10% increase, representing €150 net, so that workers can live off their work, with a medium-term goal of €2200 gross. Opinions differ on the impact of this measure. While some believe it is necessary in the face of the rising cost of living, others fear the burden of costs for employers. One employer interviewed nevertheless considers that this increase can be absorbed, while noting that it will not radically change people's lives. • "The revaluation was initially announced at exactly €1500, representing a net increase of €23 per month.

According to one business leader, at least 60% of companies would not be able to support such an increase. Although this hike is presented as the second largest in 20 years, some see it as mere crumbs, noting that the 23 euro increase on December 1st includes an automatic 18 euro revaluation initially planned for January. The debate highlights a risk of wage compression. Increasing the minimum wage without a proportional revaluation of other salaries leads to the 'smicardisation' (a shift toward minimum wage levels) of the middle classes. This phenomenon demotivates employees and pulls the social ladder downward, transforming upper-middle classes into lower-middle classes. To remedy this, speakers advocate for lowering payroll charges and taxes, particularly on fuel, rather than increasing gross wages. Finally, the lack of confidence in current policies is pushing some savers to protect their money abroad, for example in Luxembourg. This climate of uncertainty is described as a catastrophe for the country, as it prevents national prosperity by enriching external financial centers. • "I heard a major business leader, Stéphane Rials, this morning who indicated that, in reality, at least 60% of companies would not be able to support an increase in the minimum wage" (Unknown speaker, 02:27) • "You end up, in fact, with a compression of the salary scale that is demotivating, which does not allow people paid the minimum wage to live comfortably and plan for the future" (Unknown speaker, 08:04) • "Well, I just answer them that it will be the second largest increase in 20 years.

On the social front, the elected official emphasizes that territorial contempt has been the most shared value among elites for 40 years. He points to structural difficulties related to social capital, noting that a North African-sounding name multiplies the obstacles to finding a job by five, even with a master's degree. To alleviate the crisis, he advocates for an increase in the activity bonus and the maintenance of the energy voucher, deeming the current aid of 25 euros per month insufficient. • "What I am saying, and what I have always said from the beginning, is that I am a candidate. I am a candidate." (Speaker 2, 01:21) • "I am not La France Insoumise. I do not call for insurrection. I do not call for chaos. I do not feed on chaos."

Presenting himself as a candidate who is "neither right nor left," he asserts that he wants to take responsibility to lift the country up and unite France. He specifies that if he is entering this arena, it is with the goal of winning and acceding to the presidency of the Republic. This move aligns with a desire for renewal among the French people, who seem to be looking for a different kind of candidate, one from outside the traditional political establishment. Teddy Riner, who was already present in public debate on issues of youth and discrimination, intends to embody this novelty in the face of a form of perpetual anti-establishment sentiment. Although questions remain about the seriousness of his actual bid for the Élysée or his desire to simply influence ideas, his stature as a tutelary figure will make him difficult for his opponents to criticize. Attacking this champion, who is universally admired, would amount to attacking a national icon for other candidates. • "And so, a few moments ago, the announcement of his candidacy for the presidency, Guillaume. Teddy Riner, the multiple Olympic champion, French world judo champion, announces that he is therefore a candidate for the presidential election, neither right nor left, he says; he says he is here to effectively unite France and that he is entering the race to lift the country up. So indeed, he was present in public debate, a little over a year ago even on our set at BFM TV when I asked him the question, I asked him if he would be tempted by politics, to be Minister of Sports for example, he told me: but why limit oneself to just the Ministry of Sports?"

This observation of a broken dialogue is shared, although some point out that this initiative comes late in the term, a few months before a presidential election. The social context is marked by structural poverty affecting 10 million people, including one-third of single-parent families. Citizens are forced to make difficult trade-offs between housing, heating, and food. Faced with this situation, Jean-Christophe Gallien notes an agreement on the assessment of the high cost of living and wages that are too low. On the issue of remuneration, Max Brisson opposes an increase decreed by the government, asserting that it must result from the creation of wealth and work. He warns against sudden increases disconnected from economic reality that could harm small businesses that are already burdened. The Medef, moreover, describes the increase in the minimum wage (Smic) as a bad answer to a real problem. Finally, the social climate remains tense with Sophie Binet's call for a day of strikes and demonstrations on November 17. Max Brisson points out that France is in competition with the rest of the world and that a purely Franco-French debate would be dangerous for the country. • "What I would like to tell you regarding the Prime Minister's announcements is that I am glad he is returning to the path of social dialogue. We are dealing with a President of the Republic who, for ten years, has ignored the unions" (Mr. Max Brisson, 03:20) • "That is to say, they agree on the assessment: wages are too low, there is too much poverty, 10 million people below the poverty line, the high cost of living, etc." (Jean-Christophe Gallien, 10:21) • "The CGT wants the government to decree wage increases, but the government does not decree wage increases. https://www.youtube.com/embed/EeTLhC0o9wc 709 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/EgGWkdskNII 2026-11-09 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/EgGWkdskNII/hqdefault.jpg Highlights Buenos Aires, Holy Mass, November 9, 2026 – Pope Leo XIV Buenos Aires, Argentina: Pope Leo XIV presides at Holy Mass at the Monument to the Spaniards https://www.youtube.com/embed/EgGWkdskNII 61 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/EyqxdlSoFvw 2026-11-09 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/EyqxdlSoFvw/hqdefault.jpg "Ce gouvernement donne des leçons mais ne sait communiquer à personne", estime Alain Bauer Alain Bauer on BFMTV: The State facing rage and contempt **Arrogance and contempt of the State** "This government has an absolutely amazing side: it lectures everyone and doesn't know how to communicate with anyone.

He proposes a 10% wage increase for French people earning up to three times the minimum wage (Smic), in exchange for a freeze on employer contributions. This measure aims to respond to SME and VSE business owners who wish to increase their employees' pay without increasing labor costs. Regarding the budget, the deputy denounces a 21 billion euro slippage and public spending that continues to rise. He contrasts his five-year counter-budget with Jean-Luc Mélenchon's program, which he describes as delusional because it is uncosted. Concerning the Ministry of National Education, he laments the succession of eight ministers in ten years, while student representatives are demanding additional resources. In foreign policy, priority is given to seeking peace before any consultation. Marine Le Pen is set to meet with the Ukrainian ambassador, but Sébastien Chenu clarifies that France no longer has the means to release billions for this country. He reiterates a position in favor of a federalized Ukraine, particularly for the Donbas region, while ensuring that certain support commitments will continue. • "We are proposing a 10% wage increase for French people who work and are paid up to three times the minimum wage in exchange for a freeze on employer contributions" (Unknown speaker, 03:33) • "Marine Le Pen has reiterated that we have commitments and we will keep them, and we have a certain number of supports for Ukraine that will continue, but that tomorrow, we do not have the means to release billions and billions for the benefit of Ukraine" (Unknown speaker, 16:45) • "Madam, there is a 21 billion euro slippage.

These remarks, which notably deny discrimination in access to employment, have sparked strong reactions and are contradicted by the Defender of Rights. In the political sphere, figures such as Raphaël Glucksmann and supporters of Édouard Philippe denounce a denial of reality. They point to the existence of concrete discrimination, particularly for Black or Arab individuals who face difficulties in finding housing or are subject to more frequent police checks. Citizens also emphasize the need to put in twice as much effort depending on one's skin color. This controversy comes in a context marked by a recent racist attack in Trappes.

Without new measures, the Social Security deficit would reach 22.6 billion euros in 2027. The Government's objective is to reduce this balance to 12.7 billion euros, while maintaining a maximum public deficit target of 5% in 2027. The text proposes 15 billion euros in recovery measures, divided between 9 billion in spending cuts and 6 billion in additional revenue. Debates are centering on the revaluation of retirement pensions. While the Government initially considered a threshold of 1,260 euros, the Senate's Social Affairs Committee proposes raising the full inflation protection threshold to 1,500 euros. At the same time, the text provides for a reform of general employer contribution relief for a gain of 3.8 billion euros, as well as a tax on overly sugary processed products to fight obesity. Regarding the autonomy branch, the budget provides for 44.4 billion euros in 2027, an increase of 2.5%. To support departments in the face of dynamic social spending, the bill proposes allocating a fraction of the CSG to them. The Government is also committed to the recruitment trajectory of 50,000 professionals in nursing homes (EHPAD) by 2030. However, senators are warning about the precarious situation of medico-social structures, with more than 40% of EHPADs running a deficit. Finally, the parliamentary examination is marked by the prior rejection of the text by the National Assembly. Several senators emphasize the importance of adopting the PLFSS in the Senate to avoid resorting to a special law. The opposition parties denounce an austerity cure and a structural shortfall due to social contribution exemptions, which reached 74 billion euros in 2026. • "Without new measures, I remind you that the deficit would reach 22.6 billion euros in 2027.

This collective notes that, five months before the presidential election, no candidate from their camp is in a position to qualify for the second round, raising the risk of a duel between Marine Le Pen and Jean-Luc Mélenchon. The process aims to designate a single candidate around values such as secularism, social progress, authority, European integration, and the climate emergency. The organization must be entrusted to a neutral, trusted third party, either outside of any party or from a group without a candidate, to ensure a clear framework for selection. Despite the reluctance shown by Édouard Philippe or Raphaël Glucksmann, Olga Givernet indicates that figures such as Gabriel Attal and Bruno Retailleau have expressed interest. The schedule is considered very tight: collective decisions must be made in the coming days for a call for candidates in December and the organization of the vote at the beginning of the year. • "Yes, as you said, we are 66 parliamentarians—deputies, senators, and members of the European Parliament—who are calling for this primary for Democrats and Republicans, because we have made the alarming observation that, 5 months before the presidential elections, we do not have any candidate from our camp who is clearly emerging. And worse, none are in a position to qualify for the second round. We are running the risk of a duel between Marine Le Pen and Jean-Luc Mélenchon.

The child was taken by his father to a protest that posed risks of unrest, before being interviewed by a journalist as if he were a political actor. During this exchange, he insulted the President of the Republic without any adult intervening to act as a third party to distinguish between right and wrong. Certain political figures, such as Madame Royal, as well as journalists, are now presenting this boy as a model of revolutionary youth. This analysis highlights that society is sick, particularly because adults have lost their place and are no longer fulfilling their educational and protective roles. • "No, but the situation is absurd from start to finish; I mean, a father taking his 8-year-old kid to a protest that could also pose risks of unrest, as we've been seeing for 3 weeks. Then this journalist who interviews him as if he were a political actor—I remind you he is 8 years old.

Carole Guillerm praises the Olympic champion and the values of effort and hard work that he solemnly conveys in his video. She believes that this speech is refreshing to hear in the current context. Although the elected official would have liked Teddy Riner to join the MoDem, she notes that he claims to be neither right-wing nor left-wing. According to her, this position invites a move beyond political parties rather than an immediate rallying to Macronism. The candidate's concrete proposals are expected in the coming weeks. • "Claiming to be neither right-wing nor left-wing, I don't know if that provides an immediate stamp of approval for Macronism, I don't think so. He is precisely inviting a move beyond political parties. So, we will see what his proposals are in the coming weeks" (Ms. Carole Guillerm, 00:33) • "I would obviously like Teddy Riner to be MoDem, but today, what I see is a declaration of candidacy that creates a surprise. What I obviously salute, in the first place, is the Olympic champion, and also the values he exudes, which he recalled in his video with all the required solemnity. He is a man who presents values of effort, of work, he says it in his speech, moreover. I think it feels good to hear that too at the moment.

Social conference and minimum wage hike: a government with no room for maneuver Following a social conference, the government announced an increase in the minimum wage (SMIC) to 1,502 euros net starting December 1st. Sébastien Lecornu emphasizes that this is the second-largest increase in 20 years. However, unions consider this measure insufficient: Marylise Léon regrets the lack of a real shock effect, while the CFDT is now demanding a net increase of 100 euros. This decision comes in a difficult economic context for very small and small-to-medium enterprises (TPE and PME), whose margins are shrinking. Bertrand Martinot highlights a compression of wages, with 38% of employees earning between the minimum wage and 1,920 euros net. In France, the minimum wage represents 64% of the median salary, compared to 50% in Germany. Some participants fear that this increase will block any room for wage growth for those earning just above the legal minimum. Politically, the government is perceived as weakened, with reduced or even non-existent room for maneuver in the face of a budget not adopted by the National Assembly. Lucile Schmid denounces a vertical exercise of power and a disregard for intermediary bodies. At the same time, Jean-Daniel Lévy notes an electoral shift, indicating that 10 to 12% of Emmanuel Macron's voters now intend to vote for Marine Le Pen. • "1502, 1502 euros net, that is the amount of the minimum wage revalued from December 1st.

While organizations are calling for the baccalaureate dates to be pushed back, the ministry is maintaining the initial schedule and proposing catch-up sessions during the holidays. Alice de Britto, from UNEF, points out that the government is refusing to postpone the exams and is favoring relocation to third-party venues. In terms of the budget, France spends 19,500 dollars per high school student, which is 30% more than the OECD average, for lower results, particularly in undergraduate studies where the success rate is only 30%. The cost of school infrastructure is estimated at 40 billion euros by some organizations, in response to which the government is proposing 4 billion euros in loans to the regions. Maxime Reppert, from SNALC, denounces a disregard for intermediary bodies and social dialogue, regretting that it takes episodes of violence for teachers and high school students to be heard. He also warns about the lack of teachers to supervise the catch-up programs and highlights the risks associated with heatwaves during the July exams. • "And the problem is that this government, I am sorry to say it on your set, well, disregards intermediary bodies, disregards social dialogue because if we had been listened to at the level of our trade union organization, we would not be where we are today" (Maxime Reppert, 11:31) • "the Minister of National Education announced that the baccalaureate dates would indeed be maintained and that there would be the implementation of catch-up classes that could be organized, catch-up sessions during the holidays" (Speaker 2, 08:28) • "according to some organizations, school infrastructure costs 40 billion euros.

This transition targets three major sectors: transport, building heating, and industry. In France, the goal is to reduce dependence on fossil fuels by two-thirds by 2030, notably through social leasing for 50,000 electric cars and the replacement of 50% of oil-fired boilers with heat pumps. The electrification of the vehicle fleet and heating systems also presents a public health issue. According to Santé publique France, 40,000 premature deaths per year are linked to air pollution. Switching to electric would thus help avoid CO2 and fine particle emissions while strengthening the country's energy independence. However, the next 15 years look critical due to an aging nuclear fleet consisting of 57 reactors from the 1980s. While electricity consumption is set to increase, new EPR reactors are not expected before 2038. This period requires managing a distribution network at the end of its lifespan and necessitates a reduction in general electricity consumption coupled with better energy efficiency. • "We are going to talk about the climate with you live, David, since it is COP31 that is opening today, the famous climate conference, it is taking place in Turkey this year. So there is a subject that is particularly highlighted, it is electrification. Clearly, replacing fossil fuels with energy when we can" (Unknown speaker, 00:00) • "Yes, so look, we have a plan nonetheless. We will have to move away from it. We are going to try to divide our dependence on fossil fuels by 3 by 2030. And that is some of the major announcements from the government.

However, Kinshasa rejects any discussion with the Kabila camp. The Minister of the Interior is threatening legal action against opposition members who travel to Goma to meet the former head of state. This polarization is intensifying as Joseph Kabila takes the lead of the FRN, once again becoming an unavoidable political and military actor. At the same time, the Kinshasa regime is pushing a project for constitutional change. A law recently passed in Parliament would even offer the possibility of amending the Constitution without resorting to a referendum, a prospect that led to the creation of the C64 movement as a sign of protest. On the diplomatic and religious front, the implementation of a crisis exit strategy is stalling. President Tshisekedi has distanced himself from the roadmap proposed by the churches (CENCO-ECC).

It represents an increase in labor costs for employers and a negligible increase of about twenty euros for employees. Sophie Binet of the CGT compares this measure to the 'Pièces Jaunes' (Yellow Coins) charity campaign, highlighting the unions' dissatisfaction. Behind these announcements lies the issue of public spending. While the 2027 budget planned for a freeze on the payroll tax relief scale to generate financial gains for the state, the revaluation of the minimum wage raises the question of maintaining these mechanisms. The central issue remains determining who will pay the bill: the state, through payroll tax relief, or employers, through increased labor costs. • "The 2027 budget was based on a freeze of the payroll tax relief scale, which represented a sort of financial gain for the state. But if we increase the minimum wage, will we backtrack on these tax reliefs or not? The important thing is that this question will decide who pays the bill. Is it the state via payroll tax relief, or is it the employers via the rise in labor costs?" (Unknown speaker, 00:41) • "Absolutely, in fact the decision that was announced, or at least the first proposal made, is not satisfactory to absolutely anyone because it represents an increase in labor costs for employers. It represents a negligible increase for employees since we are talking about twenty euros more compared to what had already been done this year. Twenty euros, and we have Sophie Binet from the CGT explaining that it looks like the 'Pièces Jaunes' campaign. So the unions are not satisfied either." (Unknown speaker, 00:00) • "And as for the state, it is keeping a low profile because behind all this is an important issue, which is public spending, since when the minimum wage is revalued, the question of payroll tax relief always arises."

I believe that responses must be provided not only to workers paid the minimum wage, but also to those earning up to three times the minimum wage." — Mr. Sébastien Chenu "Yes, we are proposing a 10% wage increase for French people who work and are paid up to three times the minimum wage in exchange for a freeze on employer contributions." — Mr. Sébastien Chenu "You know well that in our country, the only lever the government can use to mandate increases is the minimum wage, since it cannot force SMEs and micro-businesses to raise wages." — Mr. Sébastien Chenu "They raise wages without losing anything, whereas with a minimum wage increase, as we can clearly see, it obviously creates an inflationary effect in terms of consumption and increases the cost of labor." — Mr. Sébastien Chenu "That is why we believe that on one hand, we must increase wages, but on the other hand, provide additional purchasing power through VAT cuts on energy and essential goods, as we propose—that's 1,000 euros." — Mr. Sébastien Chenu "I have noticed that, for example, in Spain or Poland, and in others that are not in the eurozone like the United Kingdom, they have done this with VAT rates on essential goods that were brought down to zero, and it worked." — Mr. Sébastien Chenu **Budget and criticisms of Macronism** "We have seen that the so-called social conferences or meetings, grievance books, great debates, etc., haven't been of much use, because with Macronism, there is a lot of talk, but in the end, not much happens." — Mr. Sébastien Chenu "Jean-Luc Mélenchon has no budgetary impact; he doesn't calculate or finance anything." — Unknown speaker "Madam, there is a 21 billion euro budget slippage.

So, in other words: if I am in a negotiation and I want to defend my oil interests, for example, I will target my disinformation strategy at the people who make decisions regarding the phase-out of fossil fuels. However, this does not necessarily go through the people directly interested in spreading disinformation; sometimes, intermediaries are used." — Unknown speaker "So, it could be fake NGOs structured to convey messages, it could be scientists paid to produce studies and pseudoscience on certain scientific topics, etc., etc." — Unknown speaker "When you say fake NGOs, what do you mean?" — Unknown speaker "Sometimes, there are front NGOs. For example, a year and a half ago, we were confronted with a fake NGO from Azerbaijan that had been structured to defend the oil interests of the country of Azerbaijan, and we didn't know it. We had to merge events for the inter-COP between COP 29 and COP 30. We found ourselves facing people who were ultimately strongly defending fossil fuels, whereas we are usually used to having environmental NGOs that advocate for a phase-out of fossil fuels. And in fact, by digging deeper, we realized that these people were being paid by the country's fossil fuel industry." — Unknown speaker **Evolution of discourses and narratives** "This lobbying work and climate disinformation is not new, but are these targets the same as they were 5 or 10 years ago?" — Speaker 1 "I would say that the targets are often the same, but the way of expressing things to them has changed.

According to him, it is impossible to solve the issue of workers' wages without putting an end to a situation where those who work pay for those who do not work even though they could be employed. He specifies that social assistance should help those who cannot work, not those who do not want to. The vice-president of The Republicans laments that LFI and National Rally deputies voted together against the proposal to condition the RSA on 15 hours of work per week. He calls for reforming the social model with courage to overcome what he describes as a French malaise. Finally, François-Xavier Bellamy supports Bruno Retailleau's project to restore freedom to the country. He advocates for a reduction in public spending to break out of the spiral of over-indebtedness responsible for the current impoverishment. • "And when LR deputies propose in the National Assembly to condition the RSA on 15 hours of work per week, and LFI and National Rally deputies vote together against this measure, I am sorry to say it, but it is a huge problem because, in reality, this French malaise of welfare dependency fuels all the country's impoverishment and it also fuels irregular immigration. So if we want to get out of all this, we will have to reform our social model with courage" (François-Xavier BELLAMY, 00:00) • "We also cannot tackle the problem of the wages of workers who are so numerous to work without being able to make ends meet if we do not put an end to the madness of welfare dependency, which means that today those who work pay for those who do not work when they could be in employment. Social assistance is meant to help those who cannot work; it is not meant to help those who do not want to work. And yes, we will have to tackle that too" (François-Xavier BELLAMY, 00:00) • "And the very clear proposal from Jean-Luc https://www.youtube.com/embed/ORLxL1TVvLU 77 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/O_fMOVN9F48 2026-11-09 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/O_fMOVN9F48/hqdefault.jpg Jean-Christophe Gallien : «Cette espèce d'organisation est très coordonnée» Jean-Christophe Gallien's analysis of the media street fight by trade union organizations Jean-Christophe Gallien describes the existence of a genuine media street fight. According to him, organizations such as the CGT, high school students, and La France Insoumise act in a highly coordinated manner by using the same words and expressions, citing Sophie Binet in particular. This structure aims to generate strong engagement on their own communication channels through confrontation. This structured organization exerts pressure that directly impacts the work of journalists. The speaker highlights that an accusation of certain television channels exists within the newsrooms themselves. Journalists would thus take an internal risk if they were to take a stance, illustrating the penetration of this media fight into people's minds. • "You are facing a real media street fight. That is really what it is about, it is happening in the street but it is a real media street fight because the fight is there. What are they looking for? They are looking for content that creates, from the moment there is this kind of confrontation, a very strong engagement on their own channels and related channels. And so if you combine what we have seen, that is to say that there is no difference between the CGT, the high school students, La France Insoumise, the people who are in the street" (Unknown speaker, 00:00) • "You see that this kind of organization is very coordinated. It uses the same words. One could juxtapose the expression of Sophie Binet and that young man who comes out before going to the meeting with Sébastien Lecornu. So we are in something that is organized, structured, which puts pressure. And why your colleagues cannot intervene" (Unknown speaker, 00:23) • "It is because inside their own newsroom, if you go into the kinds of debates that exist in these television channels in particular, you have an accusation of this channel.

Christa Ishimwe, an advisor to the ministry, anticipates an increase in cardiovascular diseases due to rising temperatures, as well as changes in malaria, cholera, and diarrheal diseases linked to precipitation patterns. Air pollution, driven by heat, is also cited. The most exposed areas include the west and south of the country, particularly districts near Lake Kivu that are prone to flooding and landslides, while the east is marked by risks related to drought. To address this, the health sector has defined three priorities: establishing early warning systems, strengthening infrastructure to reduce dependence on the conventional power grid, and training medical staff on the links between climate and health. The next step is to prepare a national adaptation plan specific to the health sector. This document will define the precise actions to be implemented over the next five years. • "The first priority is to put in place robust early warning systems. The second is to strengthen our health sector infrastructure to be less dependent, for example, on the conventional power grid. Finally, the third priority is to train our health personnel so that they understand the links between climate and health, know how to prepare for them, and can also talk about them with their patients" (Unknown speaker, 01:28) • "This includes, in particular, cardiovascular diseases.

Klaas Knot notably specified in the Financial Times that he would not hesitate to act in the event of a debt crisis or disorderly divergences, easing market fears regarding the rigidity of governors from frugal countries. However, this ECB intervention remains conditional on rigorous budgetary policies. There would be no blank check for countries like France, as support is intended for states demonstrating budgetary seriousness. Cooperation with budgetary authorities thus remains strictly regulated.

While the impact of AI is already being measured at the micro level per employee, its macroeconomic effect on productivity is not expected until 2028.

Faced with this imperial logic, he advocates for building a 'Europe-power' capable of responding to its neighbors, notably through the transposition of legal rules into the European information space. On the national level, the former commissioner highlights the urgency of addressing the major problem of purchasing power in France, citing the example of retirees losing a month of pension due to energy costs. He calls for changing energy management rules in Europe and taking into account the impact of a minimum wage (Smic) increase on small businesses and artisans. Asked about his political future, Thierry Breton affirms that he is fighting to establish collective work discipline and a 'golden rule.' While he does not close the door on a presidential candidacy, he warns against the projects of the far-right and LFI, which he believes aim to weaken France within European institutions. • "Because since the advent of Donald Trump in particular, that is to say January 20, 2025, the trust that was the cornerstone of this reconstruction I am talking about today, which obviously went beyond the European framework, has collapsed" (Speaker 3, 01:41) • "that is to say to start building, I would say, a Europe-power, not in a hegemonic way but to be able to respond to those who surround us" (Speaker 3, 03:05) • "he considers Europe to be, at heart, a weak link that he wants to weaken, that he wants to weaken by relying on far-right forces.

This rise mechanically leads to an increase in labor costs and production costs for "Made in France" goods, which strengthens the competitiveness of products manufactured elsewhere, particularly against Chinese competition. The example of Duralex glassware illustrates this challenge: the company, recently taken over, must face much cheaper imported products. To compensate for these higher costs and allow for wage increases, it is proposed to increase transparency regarding the origin of products. The goal is not to close borders, but to open consumers' eyes by clearly indicating the French or foreign origin of items on store shelves. This precise information should allow those who can and want to do so to incorporate the origin into their purchasing decisions. This strategy aims to restore visual competitiveness to French offerings through comparison. By demanding to know exactly where products come from, employees and employers could unite around a demand for total transparency. This measure would help restore value to "Made in France" without preventing the purchase of cheaper products for consumers who have no other choice. • "Yes, it is therefore likely that the minimum wage will increase, but by what proportion, we don't know, or in any case, not yet. But the consequence is known: mechanically, when the minimum wage increases, the cost of labor obviously increases, and barring extraordinary productivity gains, the production costs of 'Made in France' also increase. So, by comparison, 'Made in elsewhere' becomes even more competitive. Up to this point, I hope I haven't taught you anything, because it is unfortunately only common sense to phrase it this way" (Unknown speaker, 00:30) • "No, I didn't say that.

Thierry Breton on France Inter: A primary for the central bloc for 2027 When asked about the 2027 presidential election, Thierry Breton did not close the door on a potential candidacy, stating repeatedly: "we shall see." He expressed support for organizing a primary within the central bloc, aligning with the position held by François Bayrou. The former European Commissioner believes it is necessary for a candidate to emerge from the forty or so names currently circulating. For Thierry Breton, the stakes of the debate are existential and rest on the need for a strong France within a strong Europe. He warned against a "triple jaw" closing in on the continent. According to him, the projects of the far-right and LFI would lead to a weakening of France within European institutions and an exit from Europe, for which citizens would pay the price. This fight for Europe is presented as essential to restore democracy's ability to express itself and to regain the means to work and invest together, particularly for the youth. The former minister emphasized that his latest book is specifically aimed at fueling this debate, which he deems crucial for the country's future. • "But I think, but I think that is what must be done.

This measure is criticized by the opposition, who deem it insufficient, while some deputies warn of the risk of job losses linked to the rising cost of labor. In parallel, the government proposes to exempt overtime pay from taxes up to 10,000 euros. The social climate is marked by high school blockades and demonstrations in several cities. Demands focus in particular on the functioning of Parcoursup and the lack of university spots. To address the tensions, the immediate deployment of 3,000 substitute teachers was announced, as well as a reform of Parcoursup by 2028. Furthermore, the suspension of the heat fund is causing concern among local authorities. The National Assembly also debated press freedom following the dismissal of a citizen petition calling for the closure of the CNews channel. While some deputies denounce discriminatory remarks, others invoke the respect for pluralism and freedom of expression. Finally, faced with budgetary constraints, the government is seeking to generate 43 billion euros in savings while releasing strategic fuel stocks to limit prices at the pump. • "A boost for the minimum wage starting December 1st, it will go up, excuse me, to 1,500 € net, 24 € more per month, so that is a 1.6% increase" (Stéphanie Depierre, 45:19) • "Since this morning, about 1% of high schools are blocked, according to the government, and demonstrations are taking place in Paris and in major French cities" (Stéphanie Depierre, 06:26) • "28 voted to dismiss this petition and 25 expressed themselves against it, and therefore the petition is now dismissed" (Mr. Alexandre Portier, 15:30) • "In any case, the government had a laudable initial intention, which was to lower state spending and therefore to generate 43 billion euros in savings" (Ms. Carole Guillerm, 41:47) • "The https://www.youtube.com/embed/Qet-vHS8hrk 9986 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/Qet-vHS8hrk-vod 2026-11-09 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Qet-vHS8hrk/hqdefault.jpg [🔴DIRECT] Questions au gouvernement du 10 novembre 2026 à l'Assemblée nationale 2026-11-10 15:42 Government Q&A at the National Assembly on the minimum wage (SMIC) and purchasing power The government has announced a 24-euro monthly increase in the minimum wage (SMIC) starting in December, bringing the net salary to 1,500 euros. This 1.6% increase includes the automatic adjustment linked to inflation. The opposition criticizes these as "crumbs" and proposes alternative measures: the Ecologist and Social group advocates for a net minimum wage of 1,700 euros, while the National Rally (Rassemblement national) calls for a 10% salary increase for wages up to 3 times the minimum wage, exempt from employer contributions. The issue of purchasing power remains central, with calls for a reduction in VAT to 5.5% on energy and fuel. The government highlights the release of strategic oil reserves, which helped reduce diesel prices by 21 cents, as well as the early distribution of energy vouchers in January. At the same time, the executive branch justifies budgetary tightening measures to generate 43 billion euros in savings. Debates also touched on press freedom following the dismissal of a petition calling for the removal of CNews. On the social front, high school student protests are denouncing the operation of Parcoursup and the state of school facilities. Finally, the critical situation regarding access to water in Guadeloupe was raised, with Minister Naïma Moutchou acknowledging that results have not met expectations despite the funding committed. • "The government's announcements, particularly the 24 euro per month boost for the minimum wage starting in December, will be at the heart of the questions" (Thibault Henocq, 01:01) • "It will go up, excuse me, to 1,500 euros net, 24 euros more per month, so that is a 1.6% increase, counting the automatic increase that was supposed to happen on January 1st anyway to keep up with inflation" (Stéphanie Depierre, 57:14) • "The Ecologist and Social group advocates for a net minimum wage of 1,700 euros and indexing wages to inflation.

An increase of 5.3% for the Smic over the entire year, an anticipated increase since it will take place from December 1st and not January 1st as is customary" — Unknown speaker "So for Sébastien Lecornu, this is above all a boost for companies to ask them for branch negotiations to raise minimum wages, and also to advance the mandatory annual negotiations aimed at raising low wages in companies. The decree for this increase should be published this week. And it is also the Prime Minister's wish, that is what he hammered home, we must move quickly, we need concrete measures" — Unknown speaker "The announcement was expected: the Smic will be increased from December 1st to €1502 net per month.

RTL Soir: Challenges and impacts of the proliferation of data centers in France France is experiencing strong growth in its data centers, going from 200 in 2020 to 350 today, with around thirty new projects under construction. This attractiveness for tech giants is explained by electricity that is largely decarbonized thanks to nuclear power. However, these infrastructures weigh heavily on the immediate environment of French citizens, generating noise and consuming significant quantities of water and electricity. Artificial intelligence accentuates this pressure, with one query consuming ten times more energy than a traditional search. This growing consumption is saturating connection requests to RTE and raises the question of the priority of uses, as electricity is not unlimited. Faced with these challenges, some are calling for real citizen needs and democracy to be placed at the heart of public policy. In exchange for the installation of these sites, companies sometimes commit to financing more public services to encourage local acceptance. Technical solutions are being explored to limit these impacts, such as improving electronic chips or recovering heat to warm swimming pools and homes. More radical experiments are also being conducted, notably by Google with tests of data centers in space, or in China with underwater installations. These projects nevertheless face major technical challenges related to cooling, corrosion, or shipping costs. • "In fact, we have electricity that is not unlimited, and therefore the more data centers consume electricity, the more we will be confronted with questions, we will have to prioritize our uses" (Unknown speaker, 04:30) • "The conflicts over electricity today concern the issue of connection, that is to say, access to electricity, because the requests to RTE are saturated" (Unknown speaker, 03:52) • "Data centers are infrastructures that will produce many impacts on the environment, particularly the immediate environment of French people, so in terms of water https://www.youtube.com/embed/SDCpSyeucEE 600 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/SjgSdDxUSPw 2026-11-09 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/SjgSdDxUSPw/hqdefault.jpg France : Lecornu donne un coup de pouce au Smic, la colère ne retombe pas • FRANCE 24 Lecornu government's response to social unrest and minimum wage increase Following a social conference at Matignon, Sébastien Lecornu announced a 1.6% increase in the minimum wage (Smic). The government presents this measure as the second-largest increase in twenty years, although some unions describe it as "crumbs." Beyond the minimum wage, the issue of salaries slightly above the minimum wage and the prolonged wage freeze for 5 million civil servants remain major points of tension. In response, the CGT is calling for a new mobilization and strike. Trade union organizations, notably the CFDT, are calling for a revision of the social dialogue institutions, which they believe have been undermined under the Macron presidency. They also criticize a French management style deemed unsatisfactory and a government habit of waiting until situations become unmanageable before giving in. This pressure from the streets comes as Parliament examines the finance bill and the budget. Politically, Jean-Luc Mélenchon and La France Insoumise currently appear to be the beneficiaries of this social mobilization. • "Sébastien Lecornu had given some ground by announcing a revaluation of the minimum wage, a 1.6% increase, which he says is the second-largest increase in 20 years" (Unknown speaker, 00:00) • "It is above all all the salaries that are a little above the minimum wage, and there are many of them, and that is where there is a real problem to solve" (Unknown speaker, 01:28) • "Several trade union organizations, primarily the CFDT, would like us to tackle this subject, to listen more to the unions and, for example, to review our social dialogue institutions a little, which have been undermined under the Macron presidency" (Unknown speaker, 04:33) • "A new mobilization and a new strike, that is therefore the CGT's response to the French government after the social conference this morning at Matignon" (Unknown speaker, 00:00) • "Let us not forget that the examination of a finance bill and the budget is currently underway in https://www.youtube.com/embed/SjgSdDxUSPw 596 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/SqA--06q0fI 2026-11-09 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/SqA--06q0fI/hqdefault.jpg "LFI ne chiffre rien", dénonce Sébastien Chenu Sébastien Chenu denounces the lack of costing in Jean-Luc Mélenchon's program Sébastien Chenu criticizes Jean-Luc Mélenchon's program, claiming that he provides no figures and no funding. He contrasts this situation with his own counter-budget, spread over five years, the figures of which are examined by economists. According to him, Jean-Luc Mélenchon's proposals are delusional and could lead France to go bankrupt in two minutes. The stated objective is to increase all French salaries starting from the minimum wage (SMIC) to support those who work. This approach aims to boost growth and restore economic confidence through a virtuous circle. Regarding the reduction of VAT on essential goods, the measure is included in the counter-budget, even though it may have been presented as non-priority by Jordan Bardella during the 2024 legislative elections. • "It is in our counter-budget, spread over five years, obviously. What I fear is that we are depriving the French of real debates, that the French cannot compare, cannot get an idea of what the candidates are really proposing. Besides, you see, I was very struck by Jean-Luc Mélenchon's program yesterday, which was finally proposed in the last few hours. It is not budgeted at all.

Social conference and debate on the minimum wage (SMIC): the French and German models France is observing a 'smicardisation' of the workforce, where higher salaries are being caught up by the minimum wage (SMIC). In comparison, Germany relies on a strong manufacturing industry with higher productivity and approximately one hundred additional working hours per year. The debate on working hours and the idea that people will need to work more is already emerging in the perspective of the presidential election. Political proposals diverge: Nathalie Arthaud advocates for a net minimum wage of €2,000, while other left-wing candidates are aiming for €1,700 net. On the right and in the center, Gabriel Attal wishes to bring net pay closer to gross pay through social security contribution exemptions, and Marine Le Pen proposes incentivizing companies to increase salaries by 10% using the same lever. However, the macroeconomic impact of these exemptions, described as deferred wages, remains a subject of debate. The government is facing a social emergency as unions demand immediate responses. The budgetary situation is complex, marked by a lack of revenue linked to weak growth and tensions between Matignon and Bercy. Furthermore, the Senate has mentioned a figure of 211 billion euros in aid to businesses, a number that fuels debates on the financing of purchasing power measures. • "So indeed, what we are observing in France is a compression, a 'smicardisation' of the workforce. That is to say, salaries above the minimum wage are being caught up by the minimum wage; that is the first observation over the last few years" (Unknown speaker, 01:32) • "There, indeed, we realize that the issue of purchasing power will be and is already a major topic of the presidential campaign, but the government must respond to it now" (Unknown speaker, 10:38) • "So, the most generous for a revaluation is, unsurprisingly, Nathalie Arthaud, the Lutte Ouvrière candidate, who would like to raise it to €2,000 net if she is elected to the Élysée. https://www.youtube.com/embed/TOTVPzkVU5w 1058 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/UJYTEG695LY 2026-11-09 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/UJYTEG695LY/hqdefault.jpg Nous voulons que le CAPITAL PAIE !

However, she specifies that discussions are underway regarding a government agreement, a programmatic and legislative agreement, as well as a joint campaign framework. The stated goal is to implement programs for all citizens, including those who no longer vote. Addressing the situation of the 2.3 million working poor in France, she denounces the current wage levels as a provocation. She highlights that many people can no longer afford decent housing, food, or heating and fuel, thus living on credit on the planet and suffering from over-indebtedness linked to the lack of home insulation. To respond to the post-oil emergency, the candidate proposes the creation of a social fleet of electric vehicles modeled on public housing (HLM). This project aims for the production of one million French and European vehicles within 10 years. According to her, this measure would help build public assets rather than enriching the private sector, while supporting employment and purchasing power through the efficient spending of public money. • "I will tell you very directly, Mr. Bouleau, I will not withdraw.

"Le réel, c'est quand ça cogne..." Jérôme Fourquet's analysis on the description of reality and the rioters Jérôme Fourquet, director of the Opinion department at Ifop, explains that his work consists of shedding light on and objectifying facts so as not to leave room for fantasies. He emphasizes the need to describe reality as it is, citing Lacan, for whom "the real is when you bump into it," while specifying that one can then debate the causes of the overrepresentation or underrepresentation of certain groups. He observes that these subjects are highly inflammatory in today's society. According to him, French universalist culture has difficulty accepting certain real phenomena, which leads to the use of derivative terms such as "diversity" or "racialized people." Olivier Truchot recalls in this regard that these analyses have sometimes been poorly received on other television sets. • "Because, you see, we try to describe reality and there is, you know, there is a psychoanalyst, Lacan, who said the real is when you bump into it. So we try to do our job like journalists, that is to say, we try to describe reality as it is. Then, afterwards, we can debate the causes, the reasons why there is overrepresentation or underrepresentation of this or that group. But we can clearly see that in our society, these subjects are very inflammatory, so we look for derivatives, you see that we talk about diversity today" (Speaker 2, 00:17) • "Our job is to try to shed light on that, to describe it, to objectify things so as not to leave room for all the fantasies, the people who will tell you you just have to look at the images, etc. We tried to do the work seriously, that's it" (Speaker 2, 00:00) • "We talk about racialized people, diversity because we have, we have a difficulty, we have a culture that is universalist and today we have trouble accepting these phenomena that are part of reality" (Speaker 2, 00:17) https://www.youtube.com/embed/UljwlP85SO4 56 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/UndRLLCNCiI 2026-11-09 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/UndRLLCNCiI/hqdefault.jpg Patrick Vignal : «Le RN a l'idiot utile qui s'appelle LFI» Debate on political structuring and the influence of LFI on the RN Patrick Vignal believes that the rise of the Rassemblement National, which went from 20 deputies in 2017 to 123 today (plus the UDR), is explained by collective responsibility and the abandonment of certain rural territories and working-class neighborhoods. He asserts that La France Insoumise acts as a "useful idiot" that politically feeds the RN and factually helps it embody the only alternative in the eyes of many French people. The current political situation is described as a "pincer movement." On one side is the Rassemblement National with two potential candidates, Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella. On the other side, Jean-Luc Mélenchon seeks to feed off existing issues. Between these two poles, the central bloc is not yet united. Faced with an angry France and growing radicalism, citizens are struggling to return to the ballot box. Despite debates on political structuring, the RN maintains that its current position is based on the seriousness of its program, while the central bloc is still seeking its unity for future elections. • "a responsibility. We have abandoned certain rural territories and working-class neighborhoods. I have no problem with that. The advantage you have today is that you have the useful idiot called LFI.

By replacing the mind-body dualism with a brain-body dualism, we end up considering the brain as a disembodied entity. This vision suggests that our actions are determined by our biology, as if our neurons were distinct from ourselves. The challenge lies in the definition of agency, which the speaker describes as our capacity to act. It is a form of free will that determines the degree of control we retain over our behaviors in the face of supposed biological automatisms. • "If I believe, for example, that if I am faced with sugar, my brain will always ask for more, there is, somewhere, a kind of biologization of a behavior where it becomes—I have less room for maneuver, automatically. We have this notion; we have had a bit of trouble getting out of the dualist model. We just did a sleight of hand, we replaced the body and the mind with the body and the brain. We talk about the brain as if it is something disembodied. And when we say it is cerebral, on the sly, somewhere, we are saying that it is something determined, that we can't do anything about it, it's our biology" (Unknown speaker, 00:00) • "Agency is our capacity to act, how much of a kind of room for maneuver do I have. It is a sort of new version of free will, to put it simply" (Unknown speaker, 00:58) • "It's a bit like if I say: I cannot fly because biologically, it is not possible. When we say: something is my neurons, it is no longer me. Lionel Naccache proofread it, and I thank him, the book, he tells me: 'You have to be very careful with this notion of talking about the brain as if it weren't me. Am I my neurons? Am I not my neurons?'"

However, the president retains the legal right to trigger military operations or airstrikes in Iran. Such an action could allow him to boost his prestige with his core electorate, the MAGA base, and demonstrate that he remains the sole master on board despite criticism regarding U.S. involvement in this conflict. A fierce trench war is expected between the legislative branch and the White House. Donald Trump is expected to govern by executive order and use his veto power excessively to bypass Congress. Although the Senate can theoretically override a presidential veto, it requires a two-thirds majority including Republicans, which makes the maneuver very difficult. Faced with this recurring use of executive orders and vetoes, Congress has ways to corner the president by accusing him of bypassing democracy. Lawmakers can notably appeal to the Supreme Court, as was the case last February when the institution struck down Trump's taxation policy because it had been conducted without Congressional approval. • "So, Congress, which has clearly shifted to the Democrats, can obviously have an influence on American foreign policy. The American president can no longer sign a treaty, withdraw from a treaty, enter into an alliance, or withdraw from an important alliance without the approval of the Senate today. On the other hand, he can absolutely trigger a military operation, a bit in the style of the one that took place in Venezuela or a potential action against Cuba. We know that Cuba is in the crosshairs of the current administration. However, the president cannot embark on a long war without the Senate's agreement" (Unknown speaker, 00:24) • "So, it is certain that starting in early January, we will witness a fierce trench war between the legislative branch, that is to say Congress, and the White House, https://www.youtube.com/embed/W-Ez7Yz0G74 296 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/W96xiNU119w 2026-11-09 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/W96xiNU119w/hqdefault.jpg Bruno Pomart : «Même chez eux, les policiers sont menacés» Bruno Pomart's reaction to the arson attack on a police officer's home in Auch A police officer's home in the Gers region was the target of a fire, likely intentional and criminal, around 6 a.m. Although the house was completely burned down, there were no casualties as the family was away at the time of the incident. Bruno Pomart expresses his anger at this attack, emphasizing that police officers are now being threatened in their personal lives, whether by drug trafficking or thugs.

This structure is based on the figure of the citizen civil servant, replacing blind obedience with responsibility. The status guarantees the independence of agents from political and economic powers thanks to the independence of the rank, which belongs to the agent and not to the institution. The current system is undergoing repeated attacks aimed at its deconstruction. The 2019 law is criticized for the exponential development of contract workers and the introduction of competition into employment. At the same time, the freezing of the index point for ten years has caused a decline in the status of agents, while accounting management and technocracy threaten the spirit of public service, particularly in hospitals. In sectors such as research or railways, the status ensures the continuity of service and safety. For researchers, it constitutes a bulwark against market authoritarianism and ideological pressures. The speakers emphasize that the status is not a sacred text but must evolve democratically to meet the needs of the population and the requirement for human emancipation. • "The source is the 1946 status, and the main question we must ask ourselves is: what next, and what now?"

This situation, described as a form of civil war where French people attack other French people, is causing growing concern and anxiety among the population. A recent event in Rouen illustrates this unprecedented brutality, where young people were beaten up for no reason while being called "dirty white." Although the assault nearly cost the lives of several of them, the public prosecutor's office characterized the incident as a brawl, a classification that is contested since the victims allegedly never provoked this violence. This rise in violence is linked to a State that no longer assumes its role. To remedy this, it is necessary for the law to be applied and for the penalties provided by law to be effectively implemented in order to sanction those who commit these acts. • "It is violence that is currently spreading everywhere the State no longer assumes its role, because what is at stake—and I believe it is important to say this—is that this violence is not inevitable. I was in Paris on Friday, and I had the chance to meet some of these young people from Rouen who were violently beaten up a few days ago for nothing, gratuitously, an assault of unprecedented brutality that nearly cost the lives of several of them" (Unknown speaker, 00:32) • "And what is most astonishing is that even though they had never provoked this violence, even though they simply suffered it to the cries of 'dirty white,' well, this violence is characterized by the public prosecutor's office as a brawl.

And if the State finally wanted to give itself the means to sanction those who are committing this violence today, if the State would just ensure that the law is applied, that the penalties provided by law are actually implemented" (Unknown speaker, 00:32) • "Well, I am talking about what is repeated every day in our streets and which we https://www.youtube.com/embed/_SAo3grkTyA 91 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/a3GdP3EAJRQ 2026-11-09 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/a3GdP3EAJRQ/hqdefault.jpg Gilles-William Goldnadel : «Les Français sont un des peuples les moins racistes du monde» Debate on racism and legal discrimination in France **The level of racism in France** "She also says it's the least racist country in the world" — Speaker 1 "And it is all the stronger because we are not allowed to name it.

This measure is deemed insufficient by the CGT and CFDT unions, which are calling for increases of 100 to 150 euros. For some stakeholders, this hike increases production costs for businesses, risking the weakening of more vulnerable structures or triggering a price-wage spiral, while the Minister of Labor warns of the potential loss of 230,000 jobs if the net salary were to exceed 1,700 euros. The debate also focuses on the social security contribution system. Gabriel Attal points out that the current mechanism discourages employers from raising wages, trapping many French people at the minimum wage level. At the same time, the government plans to extend the increase in the fuel allowance ceiling until 2027, a crucial measure for employees dependent on their vehicles, although its implementation is considered difficult for small businesses in rural areas. Finally, the question of the quantity of work is raised as a condition for financing the French social model. With the number of hours worked per capita ranking among the lowest, proposals are emerging to extend the duration of working life or increase the weekly working hours without additional costs for companies. This reconstruction of the country is presented as necessary to preserve retirement and healthcare systems in the face of the collapse of current funding conditions. • "And so, as we just said, it will finally be a 1.6% increase for the SMIC starting December 1st, announced by the government following the social conference with employers and unions" (Amélie Carrouër, 01:03:22) • "And so, a SMIC increase announced today by the government of plus 1.6% starting in December.

According to him, this increase prevents companies from hiring due to a lack of resources, thereby depriving the generation demonstrating for its rights and future of work. The urgency lies in the project supported by Bruno Retailleau for the presidential campaign. This program aims to lower labor taxes to return wages to workers, while reforming the social model. The goal is to massively reduce social spending to stop the country's spiral of impoverishment. In parallel, doubts are expressed about the ability of a government with five months left to live to keep its promises. The social conference is perceived as a potential betrayal of the future of young people who feel worried and deprived of prospects. • "all of this started with demonstrations by young people who were shouting their anger because they feel deprived of a future. But the truth is that Ms. Binet's CGT, when it campaigns for an increase in the minimum wage, is actually betraying these young people. Because those who will pay the bill when the minimum wage increases are companies that can no longer hire because they can no longer afford it. When the minimum wage increases, it is young people who cannot find jobs. So, in fact, this social conference will betray the future of this generation that is demonstrating for its rights and is right to feel worried" (François-Xavier BELLAMY, 00:27) • "The urgency is to ensure that the presidential campaign is finally the opportunity to arrive at a clear project, the one supported by Bruno Retailleau, which will allow for lowering labor taxes, returning wages to people who work, reforming our social model, and massively lowering social spending because that is what has led the country to the spiral of impoverishment that we know today.

Franck Bonfils notes that capital is currently better remunerated than labor, which raises the fundamental question of wealth distribution. Entrepreneurs are facing inflationary cycles triggered by events such as war and the rising cost of raw materials. This situation deteriorates purchasing power and demand, concretely illustrated by the rise in fuel prices. Faced with the difficulty of building wealth solely through a salary, Jeanne Le Mélinaire advocates guiding citizens toward investment. She encourages training and preparing for the future to compensate for the low profitability of labor compared to capital. • "We have the illustration. Labor pays less than capital. There you go, today, capital is unfortunately better remunerated than labor, but I am building on the subject of wealth distribution, in fact" (Speaker 3, 00:11) • "In these crisis zones and in these moments of crisis, the rich are becoming richer and richer, and somewhere, the poor are becoming poorer and poorer" (Speaker 4, 00:00) • "Yeah, because I also think it's complicated today to get rich solely on your salary.

Although he acknowledges that he is not from the political establishment, he is aiming for the highest rank. This candidacy from civil society is based on strong popularity. Teddy Riner is adopting a position described as "neither right nor left," reminiscent of Emmanuel Macron's approach in 2017. Observers are questioning the timing of this announcement and see it as a possible attempt to present a central bloc candidacy that is more exciting than current options. • "My name is Teddy Riner and today I tell you eye to eye, I am a candidate for the 2027 presidential election. I know what people will say about me: 'He's crazy, he's not from the establishment, he doesn't have the codes, he's never done politics.' But ask yourself the question with me: what is crazy today?

Critique of the 'L'avenir en commun' program and defense of the Republic by Marine Le Pen Mélenchon's program, named 'L'avenir en commun' (A Future in Common) since 2017, is criticized as being a future in communities and without others. According to the speaker, this project threatens media plurality by seeking to close CNews and associates with organizations like the CCIF, which was dissolved by the Ministry of the Interior. The introduction of the abaya in schools is also cited as a sign of division. This vision is presented as the future of national division, calling into question a Republic that is one and indivisible as defined in the Constitution. Faced with this future deemed bleak, Marine Le Pen positions herself as a guarantor. • 'L'avenir en commun is the name of Mélenchon's program since 2017. But I think that today it must be changed to a future in communities. Because in reality, it is a future but without others, a future but without pluralistic media, a future but by closing CNews, a future but by demonstrating with the CCIF which was, after all, an organization dissolved by the Ministry of the Interior, a future but with the abaya in schools, a future, well. So if you want, it is the future of national division. The Republic is no longer one and indivisible as is the case in the Constitution, the future will be fractured' (Speaker 1, 00:00) • 'That is why Marine Le Pen stands here as a guarantor in the face of this very bleak future' (Speaker 1, 00:28) https://www.youtube.com/embed/cXGteeGpnmk 32 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/cXLdUJhORZI 2026-11-09 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/cXLdUJhORZI/hqdefault.jpg Le Pen et Bardella n'ont aucune idée à part le racisme. Critique of Le Pen and Bardella regarding social rights and economic proposals Le Pen and Bardella are presented as hostile to social rights, advocating for stricter conditions for accessing retirement and the liquidation of the welfare state. A critique is leveled at their opposition to the guaranteed minimum wage, even though the SMIC has existed since 1973. The proposed alternative program aims for a complete change in economic logic in the face of the destruction of public services and poverty affecting more than 10 million people. Faced with the challenges of daily survival linked to fuel and electricity prices, immediate measures are recommended. These include freezing prices, increasing the SMIC, and indexing wages to inflation to respond to the deprivation of the masses and restore access to vital resources. • "And Le Pen and Bardella. Well, no need to get so worked up, they have no ideas other than racism. They have become the most hostile to the people's social rights in France: hardening of retirement access conditions, closure of public services, liquidation of the welfare state. I laughed" (Unknown speaker, 00:00) • "And often, you all know it, I know it in this room, in our circles, we don't complain. We think we should keep the most unpleasant aspects of what we experience to ourselves, because we want to share the good, the beautiful, the things we love with others. So, it is up to us to know, better than others, how to interpret the silences, to respond to the bated breath or the heavy sighs that are all silent protests, often around us.

The State asserts that it has taken its responsibilities through the minimum wage (SMIC), decrees, and the establishment of a wage monitoring committee to pace the work in the coming weeks and months. The government calls for the mobilization of social democracy and social dialogue between employers and employees. The goal is to provide rapid responses to demands regarding purchasing power while taking into account the economic difficulties of businesses. Decisions have already been made and must now be nurtured at the professional branch level as well as within companies to find the best balances. • "There you go, so this is the project we are going to open jointly, obviously, with the Minister of... the Ministry of Finance as well, who will look at all of this. We are therefore going to lay everything out, and it is a strong commitment we have made. We have a few weeks, a few months, we have time to do it, we have time to put the subject on the table and try to provide answers to a system that needs to be reformed. There you go, so, I repeat, general mobilization.

The analysis also highlights a transition towards the monetization of violence. While parental satisfaction once focused on the learning of poems, it now seems linked to the recitation of slogans of hate and violence by children. • "Yes. So, notably to show, to illustrate to what extent France was in a shipwreck, that it no longer knew at all how to take care of its children, that adults were overwhelmed by this youth and precisely this eight-year-old child. Afterwards, what troubles me is the monetization of violence, the fact that before we were happy when our child made beautiful sentences or recited poems and that here it is simply reciting slogans of hate and violence" (Unknown speaker, 00:07) • "No, but it's quite, it's quite terrifying.

Jean-Pierre Farandou, Minister of Labor, has warned, however, that moving to 1,700 euros net would destroy 270,000 jobs. Denis Payre points out that this increase represents about 60 euros for employers including social charges, which will be difficult for artisans and restaurant owners to manage. The debate also focuses on the level of public spending, which reaches 57 percent of GDP. Denis Payre asserts that the production cost of French public services exceeds the European Union average by 119 billion euros, while the profitability of French companies remains below the European average. The state is criticized for absorbing a considerable amount of wealth. To respond to union demands, Sébastien Lecornu announced that certain contribution exemptions would henceforth be conditional on wage negotiations within industry branches. A decree is expected to specify the calculation of this aid, particularly targeting sectors with low-wage workers such as cleaning, transport, or security. In parallel, comparisons with Spain show that a sharp increase in the minimum wage there is associated with a retirement age of 67. • "The idea was that we would cross the symbolic threshold of €1,500, even if, effectively, today, we are focusing more on the €24, but the minimum wage is crossing that threshold" (Speaker 8, 03:41) • "And Jean-Pierre Farandou, the Minister of Labor, had even gone further by saying: 'If we go to 1,700 net, it will destroy 270,000 jobs'" (Speaker 2, 04:22) • "And in a country that has the highest public spending in the world, it is normal, I remind you that we are at 57 points of GDP in public spending" (Speaker 24, 06:37) • "She says that the production cost of French public services costs 119 billion more than the European Union average. 119 billion is twice the budget of the National https://www.youtube.com/embed/dt_LxiqJ5EE 1178 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/dzdEPY1sXto 2026-11-09 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/dzdEPY1sXto/hqdefault.jpg Conférence sociale : "L'unité syndicale en France est fragile" (Rémi Bourguignon) Social Conference: Minimum wage increase and tensions over purchasing power **The minimum wage and wage dynamics** "The automatic revaluation mechanism for the French minimum wage (SMIC) is one of the most protective in Europe" — Gaëlle Macke "Yes, because the principle of raising the minimum wage is to trigger subsequent negotiations at the industry and company levels to try to raise all wages; that is the real issue" — M. Bourguignon Rémi "There is another subject, which is the trap of low-wage brackets in France, meaning that for good reasons we have lowered, we have almost no more charges around the minimum wage, but as a result, business leaders then hesitate to increase salaries because it is very costly" — Patrice Moyon "it will also continue to pull down a certain number of salaries that were around the minimum wage. So it will create, for companies, it will indeed create an effect, at least pressure on wages" — Patrice Moyon "This question of wage compression, for example, can worry a union like the CFE-CGC, a union for executives. By definition, among its members, there are few people on the minimum wage" — M. Bourguignon Rémi **Union demands and mobilization** "And the CFDT is asking for an assessment after 2 weeks to be able to measure the willingness or lack thereof of employer organizations to move forward on this major subject, which is purchasing power" — Marylise Léon "So among the proposals, I noted the CFDT saying it would like to condition company aid on wage dynamics" — Patrice Moyon "So it is an extremely important issue for unions to reaffirm their central place as an institution in this country, as a capacity to translate social demands into measures" — M.

Although he received initial support from 67 deputies against 46 for Benjamin Netanyahu, he does not yet have a stable majority of 61 deputies to govern. His coalition is considered very heterogeneous, forcing him into complex negotiations and heavy concessions on his campaign promises. The first point of friction concerns the Arab-Israeli parties, which represent 21% of the population. While they are prepared to support Eisenkot without necessarily sitting in the government, members of his own coalition, such as Avigdor Lieberman, are firmly opposed to any dependence on them. Eisenkot must therefore arbitrate between this support and that of the ultra-Orthodox parties. The integration of the ultra-Orthodox, however, raises the question of military service. Eisenkot, a former chief of staff, wants them to participate, which they refuse. Compromises are being considered, particularly regarding the civilian nature of the service or the time spent in the field. Without an agreement with one of these blocs, Eisenkot risks losing part of his current coalition. Faced with these difficulties, Benjamin Netanyahu remains combative but shows signs of panic. He fears that Eisenkot will manage to rally part of the Likud to stabilize his majority. The outcome will depend on Eisenkot's ability to prove himself as good a diplomat and strategist as he was a military man. • "So, yes, because he had 67 deputies who asked for him to be tasked with forming it. So President Herzog tasked him with it. But just because the deputies asked for him to form the coalition, and therefore the government, does not mean that these deputies are for him. It's different in Israel. And so Eisenkot's problem is that for the moment, he doesn't have the majority, and to have one, he is forced to make very heavy concessions to others and perhaps even go back on https://www.youtube.com/embed/e8xjfiWNaTI 334 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/eACkVfu02GQ 2026-11-09 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/eACkVfu02GQ/hqdefault.jpg Marine Le Pen nie les discriminations en France : "Le pays le moins raciste au monde" Marine Le Pen claims on CBS that France is the least racist country During an interview with the American network CBS, Marine Le Pen claimed that there is no discrimination in France, even describing the country as the "least racist in the world." She rejects the idea of systemic racism, which she attributes to a legend spread by the left, and maintains that her country is unfairly defamed in foreign media. These remarks are contradicted by several indicators. The 2021 Cegos barometer reveals that 18% of employees in France say they have been penalized due to their ethnic origins, compared to 12% at the European level. A sociologist emphasizes that these discriminations, linked to skin color or surname, are indisputable. In terms of criminal law, the Ministry of the Interior recorded 9,737 racist crimes and offenses in 2021, a figure that is on the rise. A ministerial study also indicates that 1.7 million people consider themselves victims of a racist attack each year. In its defense, the National Rally relies on an international study showing that France is more accepting of a foreign neighbor than certain Middle Eastern countries. • "No, there is no discrimination in France" (Unknown speaker, 00:42) • "And I will go even further.

This text marks a change in scale by extending risk management obligations to more than 15,000 or 20,000 organizations, including highly critical sectors such as energy, transport, and health. Ministries will be required to dedicate 5% of their digital budget to cybersecurity starting in 2027, with a target of 10% by 2030. The parliamentary debate is centering on Article 16 bis regarding the encryption of digital communications. While some deputies defend this article to prevent the intentional weakening of systems through "backdoors," the Government and other elected officials wish to see it removed, arguing that it weakens intelligence services and delays transposition. Furthermore, criticism has been raised regarding the lack of financial support for local authorities and small structures now subject to these new obligations. The urgency of the text is highlighted by the risk of heavy financial penalties, as the European Commission has referred France to the Court of Justice of the European Union. The delay in transposition could cost the State more than 10 million euros, plus daily fines. In parallel, deputies are discussing the alignment of sanctions between the public and private sectors, as well as the extension of the surveillance scope to subcontractors of essential entities. • "NIS 2 constitutes a real change in scale for this policy, by extending obligations to more than 18,000 or even 20,000 organizations that will have new obligations regarding risk management" (Ms. Anne Le Hénanff, 04:43) • "The bill thus transposes three European directives: the CER, NIS 2, and DORA directives, for the strengthening of the resilience of the Nation and the economy" (Ms. Anne Le Hénanff, 04:05) • "This article says one very simple thing: we cannot force encryption https://www.youtube.com/embed/ed6EaILnj_E 5130 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/em4TczfmXUo 2026-11-09 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/em4TczfmXUo/hqdefault.jpg Lycées : "Si on est seuls à boycotter, on n’aura pas d’impact" (Léo Letoublon) High school student mobilization: demands regarding Parcoursup and threat of boycott against the far-right High school student representatives are calling for the repeal of the Blanquer reform, denouncing scheduling issues. They are also demanding the abolition of the Parcoursup platform and the creation of additional undergraduate spots in universities. Regarding school infrastructure, they are warning about the financial asphyxiation of the regions despite proposals for preferential rate loans. Faced with the presence of National Rally parliamentarians, the organizations are considering a unified boycott to ensure a higher quality debate, not polluted by the far-right. They are also criticizing the composition of the Parcoursup ethics committee, deeming the high school student representation insufficient compared to employer organizations. A call for the blockade of high schools and universities has been issued for September 10, in coordination with the National Education strike. The representatives warn that if the minister does not respond to their demands, adjustments to the baccalaureate calendar will be necessary, as has been done in the past. • "You have the right not to answer us, but we have the right to ask you questions. We are listening to you. So, first of all, we are going to start by saying that the presence of CNews here poses a problem for us in terms of the quality of the debate, and that the youth would prefer a better quality democracy that is not polluted by far-right media.

The athlete is described as an icon who is riding on his reputation and the fact that he is loved by a majority of young people, many of whom vote for the far-left. Despite the doubts, it is asserted that Teddy Riner genuinely wants to run. To realize this ambition, he must give himself the means to do so by aggregating and gathering support, as he cannot go it alone. The procedure requires raising funds and obtaining the 500 signatures, steps that cannot be improvised overnight. Rather than launching a direct front-line campaign, it might be more interesting for him to provide support to other candidates, such as Gabriel Attal. The way he announced his candidacy raises questions about the final strategy he will adopt for the election. • "That's not what he wants to do, in any case. He wants to go for it" (Unknown speaker, 01:26) • "Exactly. Initially, you have to gather support. You need funds. You need the 500 signatures.

Minimum wage increase to 1,502 euros: government response and union reactions The government has announced that the minimum wage (SMIC) will rise to €1,501.94 net per month starting December 1st, an increase brought forward by one month representing approximately €24 more. This revaluation, the second largest in 20 years, includes €15 linked to inflation and a €9 government boost. It affects 2.1 million workers. Unions consider this measure insufficient, describing it as "crumbs" compared to the hundred euros demanded. In parallel, the executive branch is calling on professional sectors to negotiate to raise all wages and is considering reducing employer contributions on low wages, while further exempting overtime from taxes. Companies are expressing concerns about this new burden in a context of economic slowdown. Some executives point out the obligation to increase the entire salary scale to maintain consistency between levels of responsibility, while others fear that an increase in work pace to absorb costs will generate turnover. The situation remains difficult for employees earning just above the minimum wage, who do not benefit from this increase. These "forgotten ones" testify to the difficulty of making ends meet and the feeling that their experience or seniority is no longer recognized by the current compensation system. • "€1,502 net per month will be the amount of the minimum wage starting December 1st, with an increase brought forward by one month, meaning nearly €24 more.

However, part of this increase is automatic, limiting the additional boost to €5. The wage situation remains tense, with 850,000 civil servants paid below the minimum wage level. To address the cost-of-living crisis, proposals are emerging such as indexing wages to inflation or holding a social conference. The debate also focuses on working hours. Antoine Vermorel proposes abolishing the 35-hour workweek to move to 37.5 hours on a voluntary basis, with a total exemption from social charges beyond this threshold. Conversely, this approach is described as a lie for the working poor, particularly women who are unable to obtain full-time employment. Furthermore, business subsidies, amounting to more than €200 billion, are being questioned in light of the funding needs for public services such as hospitals and schools. Finally, the link between ecology and social issues is highlighted: there will be no social justice without a strong ecological transition.

Since that deadline, the Ministry of the Interior has not published any decisions or official lists, despite about forty new legalization requests. The 'Bloc des Cinq' denounces this silence, viewing it as a deliberate blockage. For this coalition, the lack of confirmed status prevents any electoral activity, public funding, or normal political participation. The 'Bloc des Cinq' accuses the authorities of an insidious restoration of a one-party system. The National Commission for Democracy and Citizen Participation is also criticized for not having organized any plenary sessions on the law reform. After a failure before the Constitutional Court, the collective is seeking mediation from ECCAS and Central African President Touadéra, while also calling on President Oligui Nguema. According to some observers, this situation constitutes a credibility test for the institutional reconstruction promised by the new authorities. • "Let's recall the context: in the aftermath of the August 2023 events in Gabon, a national dialogue was organized by the new authorities. The consultation resulted in a reform requiring the 104 registered political parties to comply with regulations before June 27th or face dissolution. Since then, there has been no decision, no official list, and about forty new legalization requests have been submitted to the Ministry of the Interior. It is this silence that the 'Bloc des Cinq' is denouncing" (Unknown speaker, 00:00) • "For this coalition, this situation is by no means a simple administrative delay because without a confirmed status, there are no electoral activities, no public funding, and no normal political participation, hence their accusation of an insidious restoration of a one-party system" (Unknown speaker, 00:00) • "After taking the case https://www.youtube.com/embed/gtgvPwLvMco 96 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/hE-Ugxapnb0 2026-11-09 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/hE-Ugxapnb0/hqdefault.jpg Mali: « À un moment, j’ai arrêté de compter les décès », un ex-détenu de la Sécurité d'État témoigne Mali: Testimony of a former detainee on conditions at the State Security headquarters **Reasons for abduction and interrogations** "Yes, I had recognized the premises of the National State Security Directorate.

Polony) Natacha Polony on BFM Business: sovereignty, French production, and financial recovery Natacha Polony advocates for a policy of sovereignty and national independence that combines social justice with the freedom to enterprise. She promotes prioritizing French production in public procurement, a measure she intends to impose on European partners by temporarily derogating from rules for the collective good. To restore public finances, she identifies a lack of production and an overly burdensome state as the causes of debt. She criticizes a subsidy system where 70% of benefits go to large corporations and wishes to restore room for maneuver to SMEs and mid-sized companies. She proposes a production and wage pact to increase compensation without worsening the trade deficit. Politically, she refuses to participate in a primary of former supporters of Macronism. She wishes to propose a break with the policies pursued over the last 30 years in order to avoid a runoff between Jean-Luc Mélenchon and Marine Le Pen, whom she describes as two options that fracture the country. • "The policy I advocate is based on floor prices, but above all, it is based on prioritizing French production in public procurement, because that is the only way to change the situation" (Speaker 6, 03:01) • "Therefore, I think we must at all costs propose a break with the policies that have been pursued for 30 years and which have led us to the debt we have today" (Speaker 8, 10:11) • "We are shackling them, which we then compensate for with subsidies, except that 70% of these subsidies go to large groups, even though it is our SMEs and mid-sized companies that need to regain room for maneuver" (Speaker 8, 04:57) • "The cause of our debt is the fact that we do not produce enough, and obviously, we have a state that is too heavy and we will have to make savings" (Speaker 8, 04:27) • "I defend sovereignty, which is the other name for democracy and which implies national independence.

Without labor flexibility or a reduction in social contributions to bridge the gap between net and gross pay, this revaluation is considered ineffective. Delphine Hanton emphasizes that to remain competitive in the face of rising wages, the industry must imperatively increase its productivity and maintain its investment capacity. The tax burden is heavily criticized, particularly a tax on medical devices described as a "nuclear bomb" because it targets pharmacy turnover. The speakers recall that "too much tax kills tax" and cite the example of the Chirac tax in the aviation sector, which led to a decline in activity. Fiscal and macroeconomic uncertainty forces manufacturers to multiply working hypotheses and adjust their management on a month-to-month basis. Faced with the risk of "hitting the wall," an urgent need for dialogue with intermediary bodies is expressed to gain acceptance for painful decisions. The healthcare system, considered ailing, requires consultation among all stakeholders, similar to the Danish model based on the analysis of patient journey data. Experts call for a change in mindset from public authorities to foster the transformation and adaptation of French society. • "So this means that, concretely, we are once again going to, I would say, weaken the competitiveness of our companies vis-à-vis the European and global economic context, which is very, very, very damaging" (Speaker 5, 00:48) • "I hope we won't hit the wall because the consequences, once again, for the French economy, for its employees, for the entire population, would be dramatic" (Speaker 7, 17:55) • "we are really going to have to explain to people that either we transform ourselves, or we are indeed heading into the wall" (Speaker 6, 19:14) • "we have a tax on medical https://www.youtube.com/embed/hwXY2m3u3Cs 1656 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/iB7FVd92dcY 2026-11-09 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/iB7FVd92dcY/hqdefault.jpg Le ministre de l'Education nationale refuse de modifier le calendrier du bac The Minister of National Education maintains the exam schedule despite blockades **Maintenance of the national diploma and exams** "During a meeting organized between the Minister of National Education and high school students, one of the students asked him if the baccalaureate exams could be postponed or at least lightened due to the blockades.

High school student representatives denounce a lack of concrete results and a government strategy of offering crumbs or false promises to stifle the mobilization. Regarding the university, a significant gap remains between the demand for 250,000 spots and the potential creation of 5,000 spots, although 15,000 spots in BTS programs are considered a step forward. Financially, a commitment of 4 billion euros is mentioned for high schools, but this would be a loan offered by the State and not money paid directly to the regions. Organizations are calling for an emergency plan for school infrastructure with direct funding. Furthermore, the minister maintains that there will be no adjustments to the baccalaureate, despite the stress linked to continuous assessment and requests for a semester-based system for disrupted institutions. Scenes of violence affecting teaching staff and principals are condemned by all parties. Speakers emphasize that burning down institutions does not lead to a calm situation and that blockades prevent some students from attending class. Faced with the lack of results from the current mobilization, the need to adapt the form of actions is raised, while noting that earlier consideration of the demands could have avoided this situation. • "My union, there you go, and the federation which therefore decided to leave the meeting because what was being proposed was not acceptable" (Speaker 9, 00:40) • "No movement on the number of university spots, so maybe 5,000 extra spots when we are asking for 250,000" (Speaker 10, 02:29) • "Regarding high school students, there was a commitment of 4 billion euros, which, given the state of public finances in this country, is still considerable" (Speaker 13, 04:45) • "No, there was no announcement and the minister just keeps repeating that there will be no adjustments to the baccalaureate" (Speaker 9, 11:07) • https://www.youtube.com/embed/iWnIas_cjTk 1321 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/ia0OjXxTbNs 2026-11-09 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ia0OjXxTbNs/hqdefault.jpg Visit to Don Orione Care Center in Claypole, November 9, 2026 – Pope Leo XIV Visit to Don Orione Care Center in Claypole, November 9, 2026 – Pope Leo XIV **A place that receives life and embraces it** « That your first visit and pastoral activity begins in this geographical and existential periphery is quite a sign.

This revaluation reduces the gap with other salaries, as one in ten employees is now paid the legal minimum. In comparison, the minimum wage reaches €2,343 in Germany and €2,233 in Belgium for longer weekly working hours. To support income, the tax exemption ceiling for overtime will increase from €7,500 to €10,000 per year. Furthermore, the ceiling for the fuel bonus paid by the employer is maintained at €1,000. Regarding pump prices, the effects of releasing 10 million barrels from strategic reserves are being felt, although demands for a reduction in state taxes persist. • "Starting next December 1st, the minimum wage will therefore go from €1,477 to €1,502. For the employee, that is about €25 more on their payslip each month" (Unknown speaker, 00:16) • "The government wants to allow employees to earn up to €10,000 per year in overtime without paying taxes on this income, compared to €7,500 today" (Unknown speaker, 01:33) • "The government also announced it is maintaining the fuel bonus ceiling at €1,000.

Agenda 2050: Adapting French cities to the challenges of climate change By 2050, two-thirds of the French population will live in urban areas with more than 100,000 inhabitants, with average density doubling to reach 8,000 inhabitants per square kilometer. This massive urbanization is colliding with a changing climate: during heatwaves, the temperature difference between the city and the countryside can reach 8 degrees, causing thousands of deaths and an urgent need for adaptation in neighborhoods that have become unsuitable. The major challenge lies in transforming the city that is "already there," since 80% of the city of 2050 is already built. While simple solutions such as installing shutters or heat-blocking filters are requested by residents, experts highlight the inertia of the system and the need for national tax reforms to incentivize landlords to adapt their properties. The law already requires landlords to provide housing with a functional heat regulation system. Bioclimatic architecture and greening offer concrete avenues, such as the Confluence project in Lyon or the Paris 2050 plan. The use of high-inertia raw earth walls, greywater recycling, and tree planting could lower perceived temperatures by 10 degrees. These projects also incorporate a social dimension with at least 30% social housing to ensure the accessibility of these innovations. However, financing this transition raises questions in the context of a national debt amounting to 3.5 trillion euros. Decision-makers are calling for regulatory streamlining and better political coordination, with some suggesting the creation of a cross-functional ministry for climate resilience after 2027, while others currently lament a reduction in the Green Fund. • "Two-thirds of the French, if we look at 2050, are expected to live in a city of more than 100,000 inhabitants by 2050. The average density is expected to go from 4,000 to 8,000 inhabitants per square kilometer" (Éric Chol, 23:56) • "We have already built at least 80% of the city of 2050.

She asserts that the UN is a universal and indispensable organization that continues to function and operate in contact with people's needs across 193 states. However, she highlights a terrible weakness requiring a renewal of leadership for a Secretary-General who is present, engaged, and visible. The organization is going through a crisis of representation and legitimacy. The African regional group, with 54 member states, represents a significant force resulting from decolonization. To address these issues, a vision for a more effective, transparent, and community-connected UN is put forward. However, the reform of the Security Council depends on the decision of the member states. The designation process, marked by indicative ballots and complex trends, relies on a solid vision for the future of the institution. The final decision rests with the member states and the five permanent members. This choice must be made before December 31, the date marking the end of António Guterres' term. • "Our major international guest this morning is an Ecuadorian diplomat, she is currently a candidate for the position of United Nations Secretary-General, María Fernanda Espinosa" (Unknown speaker, 00:01) • "And the decision must be made before December 31 since it is the end of António Guterres' term" (Speaker 3, 09:00) • "Yes, and there, I see that it is a terrible weakness, that we need a Secretary-General who will be present, engaged, visible, and there, I believe that a renewal of leadership at the UN is necessary" (Unknown speaker, 06:07) • "We have 193 and a strong African presence, for example, within the UN after the decolonization processes, and one of the UN's crises is a crisis of representation, a crisis of legitimacy" (Unknown speaker, 07:07) • "Well, the reform of the Security Council, one must be very, very clear, https://www.youtube.com/embed/kcytlGIfty4 554 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/l3uEJbutemk 2026-11-09 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/l3uEJbutemk/hqdefault.jpg Teddy Riner candidat : "Un caillou dans la chaussure de Jean-Luc Mélenchon" Analysis of the electoral impact of a Teddy Riner candidacy on Jean-Luc Mélenchon The analysis of the population structure ready to vote for Teddy Riner reveals two striking points. His potential audience is mostly young and is situated rather to the left on the political spectrum, which corresponds to the type of electorate of Jean-Luc Mélenchon. Data indicates that one in five people close to La France Insoumise considered voting for the judoka before his candidacy was made official. This situation could be a thorn in Jean-Luc Mélenchon's side. • "When you look at the population structure that today declares: 'Hey, why could I, why could I vote for Teddy Riner?' There are two points that are striking. The first point is that it is an audience that is young, and we know that it is also the type of electorate today that can vote for Jean-Luc Mélenchon. The second aspect is that it is an electorate that is also situated rather to the left on the political spectrum, and we even have today one person in five who is close to La France Insoumise who declares: 'Why not Teddy Riner?' Well, in any case, they were telling us that before Teddy Riner made his candidacy official like this morning" (Unknown speaker, 00:00) • "So it can effectively be a thorn in Jean-Luc Mélenchon's side" (Speaker 1, 00:31) https://www.youtube.com/embed/l3uEJbutemk 37 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/laCmK3aLVsA 2026-11-09 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/laCmK3aLVsA/hqdefault.jpg Attaques contre CNews : « Il n’y a pas un soutien d’un seul confrère » déplore Erik Tegner Debate over the exclusion of CNews by the CGT and freedom of the press During a press briefing, Sophie Binet of the CGT demanded the removal of the CNews microphone, stating that she never addresses this media outlet and refusing to continue in its presence. She justifies this position by declaring that the CGT does not appear on the channel's sets and refuses to mix news and opinion. The journalist involved recalled that he was simply doing his job by holding out the microphone as he would for any other organization. The speakers lament a certain cowardice and a lack of support from the other journalists present, who remained paralyzed during the incident. Although some expressed discomfort afterward, none took the initiative to leave the press conference in solidarity. One speaker points out that if all media outlets like BFM TV or RMC decided not to stay under such conditions, Sophie Binet would eventually reintegrate CNews. The discussion also highlights an oversight regarding the issue of freedom of the press by a majority of mainstream media. A parallel is drawn with a situation where a Mediapart journalist was not accredited, while other colleagues from Libération or Politis continued their work. Finally, the fear of being labeled racist is mentioned as a deterrent for those who might wish to defend the channel. • "And so, there is the famous press briefing in the street with all the colleagues, and then Maxime Leguet from CNews arrives, at the same time as other colleagues, we hold out the microphone, and then there is Ms. Binet from the CGT who says, 'Remove the CNews microphone'" (Unknown speaker, 00:15) • "But no, I never address CNews, so I cannot continue the press briefing if you are here" (Unknown speaker, 00:51) • "I notice two things, which is that, indeed, there is not a single colleague offering support" (Speaker 2, 03:53) • "And it is true, the matter within the matter is that there is a certain cowardice on the part of the colleagues who remained stunned, paralyzed, and who, in retrospect, https://www.youtube.com/embed/laCmK3aLVsA 327 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/ldH0AYv2vs0 2026-11-09 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ldH0AYv2vs0/hqdefault.jpg Conférence sociale de Lecornu : La hausse du SMIC suffira-t-elle à calmer la colère ? Social conference at Matignon: negotiations on purchasing power and minimum wage (SMIC) increase The government is organizing a social conference at Matignon to address the urgent issue of purchasing power. Sébastien Lecornu and the Prime Minister are meeting with unions and employers as the French people face rising prices for fuel, food, and clothing. The Minister of Labor is considering an increase in the SMIC to over €1,500, which represents a raise of at least €22 net for more than 2 million employees. Unions consider this proposal insufficient: the CFDT is demanding a €100 increase and the CGT about €150, or 10%. For their part, business leaders are warning of the risk of destroying jobs and falling into the red if such increases are implemented. Some believe the government is too weak to initiate real reform six months before the elections. Social mobilization continues with a civil service strike and new demonstrations. To compensate for losses linked to the days of mobilization, prefectural decrees are authorizing businesses to open on Sundays. While some managers hope to make up for lost revenue, others point out the difficulty of paying employees double or the lack of customers in the streets. • "Faced with social anger, the government's response: purchasing power. At the heart of the discussions, the revaluation of the SMIC.

Analysis of Teddy Riner's candidacy for the 2027 presidential election Teddy Riner has officially announced his candidacy for the 2027 presidential election, stating that he wants to bring common sense and firmness in the face of professional politicians. Jean-Daniel Lévy clarifies that this is not a symbolic candidacy but a comprehensive project addressing purchasing power, the reduction of inequalities, and a questioning of the 35-hour workweek. His lack of past government experience allows him to not be held accountable for previous records. Initial opinion polls indicate that one in ten French people says they could vote for him, a score close to that of Natacha Polony. His potential electorate is situated more on the left, with notably 20% of La France Insoumise supporters saying they are open to this option. This candidacy is perceived by some listeners as a way to provide a counter-power to the extremes and to avoid traditional political 'cronyism'. However, this announcement raises concerns about the scattering of votes in the first round, while the electorates of Marine Le Pen and Jean-Luc Mélenchon are consolidating. Faced with this risk of a multiplication of candidacies, 66% of French people say they are in favor of organizing a primary for the right and the center. Furthermore, a transfer dynamic is observed, with 10 to 12% of former Emmanuel Macron voters now turning toward Marine Le Pen. • 'My name is Teddy Riner and today I tell you eye to eye, I am a candidate for the 2027 presidential election' (Speaker 44, 08:39) • 'Today we have one in ten French people who say "why not" vote for Teddy Riner' (Jean-Daniel Lévy, 00:56) • 'It is not a symbolic candidacy that he is entering, and besides, this morning we saw that through his positions, he wishes to have a program that is a comprehensive program' (Jean-Daniel Lévy, 00:56) • 'The second aspect is that it is an electorate that is also situated more on the left of the political spectrum, and we even have, today, one in five people who are close to La https://www.youtube.com/embed/mOZNN0yi4xU 2330 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/n-WORUjTpzc 2026-11-09 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/n-WORUjTpzc/hqdefault.jpg Il faut désmicardiser la France ! Aleksandar Nikolic's proposal to 'de-SMIC-ize' France through employer contribution exemptions Aleksandar Nikolic asserts that the current system incentivizes keeping employees at the minimum wage (SMIC), with 12% of workers affected in France, which is twice as many as in Germany. According to him, employer contribution exemptions are currently highest at the SMIC level, which hinders wage growth because these exemptions decrease as compensation increases. To 'de-SMIC-ize' the country, he proposes allowing companies to increase salaries by 10% up to three times the SMIC. This measure would be accompanied by an employer exemption on this specific increase in order to encourage employers to raise incomes. • "We have a current system that favors, that incentivizes keeping people at the SMIC. That is to say, in France, you have 12% of employees who are at the SMIC, twice as many as in Germany, four times as many as in the Netherlands. We must have the will to 'de-SMIC-ize' this country by ensuring, by specifically incentivizing wages to increase, for example in terms of charges, because today, why is there an incentive for the SMIC? Because that is where you have the most significant employer contribution exemption at the SMIC. And the more you increase salaries, the less employer contribution exemption there is; we must do the opposite" (Aleksandar NIKOLIC, 00:00) • "And so we must, this is what we are proposing, offer companies, allow companies to increase salaries by 10% up to three times the SMIC with an employer exemption on this increase" (Aleksandar NIKOLIC, 00:28) https://www.youtube.com/embed/n-WORUjTpzc 38 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/nje3TGko_48 2026-11-09 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/nje3TGko_48/hqdefault.jpg Budget 2027 : Le réarmement en danger ?

We are talking about the budget in the Senate and the National Assembly, always with the question of whether the defense budget will be adopted. The draft provides for 63.4 billion euros for 2027, an additional 6.5 billion, and there is a lot of discussion. We heard you mention a few days ago that if the budget were not adopted, France's rearmament would be science fiction.

It takes a very long time to build, there are nuclear boilers, it is a very long-term project. So, in fact, the contract I signed will be paid for by my successors until 2038.

Deputies were divided on the next steps: some argued for a debate in the hemicycle to address citizen expectations, while others reiterated that media management and the respect for pluralism fall under the jurisdiction of Arcom, an independent authority, rather than the National Assembly. Critics denounce a channel that has been sanctioned more than 60 times for stigmatizing, racist, sexist, or discriminatory remarks. Some deputies drew a link between this hate speech and violent acts, citing in particular a recent racist attack in Trappes. Conversely, defenders of the channel invoke freedom of expression and denounce a desire for political censorship aimed at making the reality exposed by the media disappear. Following a roll-call vote, the committee decided to dismiss the petition by 28 votes to 25. This dismissal ends the procedure without organizing a debate in a public session, on the grounds of preserving the independence of the press and respecting Arcom's powers regarding sanctions and broadcasting authorizations. • "For the dismissal, 28. Against the dismissal, 25. The petition is therefore dismissed" (Mr. Alexandre Portier, 58:08) • "Regarding CNews, it is up to Arcom, an independent authority, to enforce the law, to guarantee pluralism and, if necessary, to sanction or even withdraw a broadcasting authorization, but it is not for the National Assembly to decide, based on petitions, which channels have the right to broadcast" (Mr. Éric Bothorel, 23:15) • "Yes, there is undoubtedly a CNews problem, and it has been recalled, it has been condemned multiple times recently, more than 64 times.

France Inter: The impact of corruption on voting in the US Midterms During the midterm elections, corruption emerged as a major voting criterion for more than one in two voters, sometimes surpassing the cost of living. A survey of 80,000 voters shows that 91% of them consider this issue a crucial or major factor, while severe inflation directly affects only 20% of those surveyed. Newly elected moderates, particularly in the Midwest and the South, have championed these themes of renewal. Donald Trump's behavior is at the center of the debate. Unlike his predecessors who voluntarily established "Chinese walls" between their private interests and the state, Trump deliberately chose not to do so. While his wealth was initially perceived as a sign of independence and leadership, suspicions now hang over specific decisions, such as the authorization of Nvidia chip exports to the United Arab Emirates following personal financial gains. Faced with these issues, the Democrats plan to use their power to launch parliamentary investigations, notably into the Epstein case and corruption. These committees can issue subpoenas and target banks, audit firms, or donors of the Trump clan. Even among Republicans, loyalists like Senator Ron Johnson are beginning to admit the possible existence of acts of corruption. The American system, however, remains marked by legal ambiguity linked to the unitary executive, where the president holds such power that it is difficult to limit his decisions without blocking the entire system. In this context, the fear of the weaponization of justice by both sides persists, while Republicans are known for practicing "hardball" politics without concession. • "It is a subject that seems to have weighed heavily, and even very heavily, in the American ballot boxes: corruption. More than one in two voters says it was a decisive criterion for their vote, even more so than the cost of living, and yes" (Unknown speaker, 00:32) • "We interviewed about 80,000 voters as they left the polling stations, and we https://www.youtube.com/embed/oRGn7XxXGTQ 799 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/pKABeromWr4 2026-11-09 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/pKABeromWr4/hqdefault.jpg Teddy Riner candidat : "Ça en dit long sur l'état de décomposition de la politique" (Max Brisson) Reactions to Teddy Riner's candidacy for the 2027 presidential election The announcement of Teddy Riner's candidacy for the 2027 presidential election has sparked strong reactions. For Max Brisson, a senator from the LR party, this move reflects the state of decay in political life after ten years of Macronism. He believes that collective issues are not solved through personal adventures and points out that, in a functioning democracy, political parties must serve as a filter and a regulatory force. The judoka, who positions himself neither on the right nor the left, adopts the traditional codes of the office with a solemn staging including a desk, a library, and the French flag. His program, developed with members of civil society and civil servants, proposes, among other things, to reduce business taxes to bring the gross salary closer to the net salary. He plans to rely on his own funds and calls for donations to finance his campaign. Despite his lack of activists on the ground, Teddy Riner's popularity, bolstered by his Olympic gold medals, is seen as an asset to unite people in a context of fear and resignation. While Édouard Philippe describes him as a heavyweight candidate, the athlete will still need to obtain the 500 sponsorship signatures required to validate his participation in the election. • "But it ultimately says a lot about the state of decay of our political life. It says a lot about 10 years of Macronism" (Speaker 4, 00:09) • "Excuse me, but there you go, I have a lot of respect for Teddy Riner, but collective issues are not solved through personal adventures" (Speaker 5, 02:28) • "And then there is the question of sponsorships, 500 signatures, you need 500 signatures to be a candidate in the presidential election and he says he hopes to be able to obtain them" (Unknown speaker, 04:29) • "We also know that, for example, we were talking about salaries earlier, well he says, we must bring the gross salary closer to the net salary, notably by reducing charges for companies" (Unknown speaker, https://www.youtube.com/embed/pKABeromWr4 738 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/pKsSFtBFC0Q 2026-11-09 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/pKsSFtBFC0Q/hqdefault.jpg La tentation totalitaire de l'extrême-gauche ! The National Rally denounces the totalitarian temptation of the far-left A political movement capable of qualifying for the second round of the presidential election is accused of being driven by a totalitarian temptation. This drift is allegedly manifested by the desire to shut down the CNews channel and by the attempts of the mayor of Saint-Denis to prevent the National Rally from expressing itself. The speaker denounces a movement that does not love France and fights everything associated with it. Following a racist attack in Trappes committed by an individual who killed a 26-year-old man, left-wing movements are criticized for issuing fatwas against journalists and political leaders instead of serving the interests of France. These reactions are deemed irresponsible in a climate of tension. The French people are urged to be wary of those who profess civil war and wish to erase France's identity. The speaker points to a connection between the ultra-left, described as an armed wing, and certain La France Insoumise deputies such as Mr. Arnault. It is suggested that these ultra-left groups should be classified as terrorists. • "So, we have a political movement that, it is true, can qualify for the second round of the presidential election and that does not love France, that fights everything that is closely or remotely related to France, and that is inhabited by a totalitarian temptation. When you want to close a television channel like CNews, you are inhabited by a totalitarian temptation. When, like the mayor of Saint-Denis, you want to prevent the National Rally from being able to express itself, you are seized by a totalitarian temptation" (Unknown speaker, 00:00) • "So, I call on the French, in this period of uncertainty, to be wary of those who profess civil war, of those who want to erase France, of those who want to replace its identity, and of those who, as we have seen concretely, the new France in the streets of Paris translates into a junction between a proxy, an armed wing which is the ultra-left, https://www.youtube.com/embed/pKsSFtBFC0Q 84 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/pjOO95XQ3pE 2026-11-09 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/pjOO95XQ3pE/hqdefault.jpg La chronique éco : Marc Touati : France : faillites en hausse, pouvoir d'achat en baisse Economic Chronicle: Historic record of business failures and unemployment crisis in France France is recording a new historic high with 71,139 business failures over 12 months, which is 11% above the 2015 peak. Excluding micro-enterprises, the situation is considered more dramatic, with an explosion in bankruptcies exceeding the 2008-2009 recession level by 14.2%. The construction, retail, and hospitality sectors are the most affected. Mid-sized and large companies have also seen their bankruptcies increase by 130% since 2020. This wave of business closures is leading to a rise in unemployment, which has reached 8.5% and could climb to 9% in category A. The speaker highlights the failure of supply-side policy, noting that bankruptcies have increased by 100% since 2017. The discrepancy with the strong performance of the CAC 40 is explained by the fact that 80% of their profits are generated abroad. To address the issue of purchasing power without worsening bankruptcies through an increase in the minimum wage (SMIC), the proposed solution is a reduction in the CSG (Generalized Social Contribution), which has risen from 1% to 9.2%. This measure should be accompanied by a reduction in public operating expenses to limit the deficit. • "Charts are important because they allow us to visualize and understand what is happening to us. It's not just a number like that. Look closely at the trend; these are bankruptcies over 12 months. So we have this explosion. Look at the incredible figure, we are at 71,139 companies that are disappearing today in France" (Unknown speaker, 00:39) • "That is why it is important to look at business failures excluding micro-enterprises. And so there, precisely, if we look at this figure, well that is what is dramatic, it is even worse. It is another chart, the following chart, where we can see that business failures excluding micro-enterprises, look closely, they have exploded.

This news has sparked mixed reactions, particularly in Guadeloupe, where some see him as a candidate capable of understanding the needs of the overseas territories, while others doubt his political preparation in the face of France's current state. On the political front, Mathilde Panot, president of the La France Insoumise group, defends Jean-Luc Mélenchon's project to collectivize nursing homes (EHPAD). She asserts that these establishments must be either public or managed by non-profit associations to avoid any profit-making from the elderly and to guarantee their dignity. The education sector is marked by high school blockades and calls for strikes. Despite requests from some students, the Minister of National Education, Édouard Geffray, refuses to postpone the baccalaureate exams, a position supported by the need not to compromise schooling due to accumulated delays. Finally, in Alençon, Doctor Lion continues to practice medicine at the age of 90. After a 60-year career, he refuses to retire and humorously shares his taste for wine, which he sometimes receives as a gift from his patients. • "With the news that knocked us all over, floored us on RTL Midi because it was so unpredictable: five-time Olympic champion judoka Teddy Riner is officially a candidate for the Presidency of the Republic.

Speaker 1 points out that this measure anticipates an automatic €18 increase scheduled for January 1st, limiting the actual gain to a "boost" of €5. For the CFDT, this anticipation is considered positive, but the increase remains insufficient to create an "electric shock" capable of stimulating wage negotiations within professional sectors. For their part, Speaker 1 describes these announcements as "crumbs" in the face of the social mobilization of young people and workers. • "We came looking for answers to the unprecedented social mobilization of young people and workers. The government only announced crumbs to us. They announced a €23 increase in the minimum wage on December 1st, even though we know that, in principle, the minimum wage should automatically increase by €18 on January 1st. The government is therefore announcing a boost of €5. €5 is a kilo of tomatoes" (Speaker 1, 00:00) • "An anticipation of the minimum wage increase, that is a good thing for the CFDT.

However, she questions the timing of this announcement, as the judoka was also considering participating in the 2028 Games. She emphasizes that the job of president is a full-time position. The former judoka believes that this candidacy should be taken seriously, describing Teddy Riner as a heavyweight candidate. She highlights his popularity and his role in promoting France internationally for nearly 20 years. According to her, the political commitment of such a champion proves that democracy is alive and well. • "Listen, it didn't surprise me because, as you were saying, he had said, 'If I'm going to get involved in politics, I might as well be president and not just a minister.' So, he's a guy with a lot of ambition. Afterwards, I am surprised by the timing because I thought to myself, maybe he would go sooner or perhaps after the 2028 Games, because he also said in that statement that he was considering participating in the Games. Well, he's going to have to choose because the job of president is a full-time job. Knowing the man, frankly, I think we have to take this candidacy seriously; he is a heavyweight candidate."

Commission of Inquiry into Violence: Shopkeepers Facing the Risk of Arming Themselves During a commission of inquiry, representatives of shopkeepers testified to a total sense of insecurity after being left to fend for themselves during waves of looting. This situation has led to a loss of confidence in the State and the police, pushing some residents and shopkeepers to want to take justice into their own hands in what is described as a state of lawlessness. Gunsmiths are reportedly currently out of stock as shopkeepers seek to protect themselves in order to continue their business. While some prefer legal means or the use of iron bars, these behaviors reflect desires deemed "unhealthy" that are circulating, particularly on WhatsApp threads, although they remain in the minority. Speakers warn against an escalation of violence. The risk of a shopkeeper using a firearm against a minor is seen as a potential trigger for civil war. Faced with this, voices are being raised to reject any logic of revenge or combat, asserting that arming oneself makes no sense. • "We are hearing today about gunsmiths who are out of stock, who are being emptied because shopkeepers or residents fear for their safety. We have shopkeepers who have lost confidence in the State, in the police, and who are thinking about—or perhaps some have already done so—protecting themselves in one way or another. My main fear is that there will be retaliation from shopkeepers, where we are hearing today about gunsmiths who are out of stock, who are being emptied because shopkeepers or residents fear for their safety" (Unknown speaker, 00:08) • "When we reach a state of lawlessness where people want to take justice into their own hands, it starts to be relatively worrying" (Unknown speaker, 00:08) • "The next person who runs a bar-tobacco shop and shoots a 14-year-old kid, that will be civil war" (Unknown speaker, 00:00) • "It created panic, it created fear.

Faced with this situation, skepticism is growing regarding the ability to hold out until the elections without real measures.

This €24 increase brings the net minimum wage to €1,501.90. Unions consider this amount insufficient: the CFDT was asking for €100 more and the CGT for €150, pointing out that in the year 2000, a minimum wage earner spent 36% of their income on rent, compared to 50% today. The Minister of Labor asserts that a minimum wage that is too high, at €1,700 net, would destroy 230,000 jobs in France. For its part, the employers' association is asking the government to help businesses by reversing the freeze on payroll tax relief planned for 2026 and 2027. Employer organizations believe that jobs and growth must be created to meet purchasing power expectations. Between 2000 and 2026, the minimum wage increased by approximately 73%, while cumulative inflation was only 52%. However, increasing the SMIC means that the pool of people affected expands, as those who earned slightly more find themselves caught up by the new rate. • "What was announced is a 1.6% increase, €24 per month, indeed, as you announced, which brings the net SMIC rate to €1,501 and 90 cents" (Unknown speaker, 00:20) • "Jean-Pierre Farandou, the Minister of Labor, who says that a SMIC that is too high would even amount to destroying jobs.

Senate hearing on the management of criminal policy and prosecutors The Senate information mission is examining the management of criminal policy following the Lyhanna case. Christophe Barret and Frédéric Chevallier emphasize that while the Minister of Justice defines national priorities, such as drug trafficking and violence, the impartiality of magistrates remains the democratic guarantee in the handling of individual cases. This impartiality is the foundation of the reliability of judicial authority. Prosecutors warn of a major lack of resources. The shortage of specialized investigators is critical, particularly for interviewing minors who are victims of sexual violence. Frédéric Chevallier notes a decline in the number of judicial police officers in the field and calls for an amendment to the Code of Judicial Organization so that every public prosecutor can have a clerk and a legal assistant. The judicial system also suffers from a lack of efficient IT tools. Magistrates must use about ten different applications without being able to obtain a thematic list of ongoing cases in a prosecutor's office. By the end of 2025, the backlog of preliminary investigation procedures stood at 3.7 million, while the annual capacity for judging sexual crimes against minors is only 4,000 for approximately 40,000 recorded cases. • "It is not the justice system, it is not the justice system or the prosecutors who define criminal policy, it is the Minister of Justice. However, in individual cases, it is the justice system, with its guarantee of impartiality for both the public prosecutor's office and the trial or investigative panels, that provides this democratic guarantee" (Christophe Barret, 18:28) • "The sixth point I would like to emphasize again is the major insufficiency of investigators and specialized investigators. When you are specialized in corporate embezzlement, you are not specialized in interviewing an 8-year-old girl who has been a victim of a sexual offense" (Christophe Barret, 14:50) • "I will just finish, I https://www.youtube.com/embed/sfS2CaIpBLY 5297 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/shugiin-56516-vod 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/t2qIrBt0cDA 2026-11-09 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/t2qIrBt0cDA/hqdefault.jpg François-Xavier Bellamy s'exprime sur les menaces de fermeture contre CNEWS François-Xavier Bellamy denounces threats to shut down CNEWS by La France Insoumise François-Xavier Bellamy expresses his support for the CNEWS editorial team in the face of threats of closure coming from La France Insoumise. He describes this situation as an unprecedented moment where a major political force is attempting to silence a media outlet that is popular with many French people. The speaker denounces a violence that manifests through intimidation on campuses, in bookstores, and physically against journalists, citing the example of Régis Le Sommier being targeted during a protest. According to him, attacking a channel that is vital for democratic pluralism reveals a totalitarian impulse from the far-left. This desire to silence contradiction is analyzed as a huge sign of weakness. For the speaker, those who are certain of their ideas and convictions seek to persuade rather than resort to threats to silence those who do not think like them. • "CNEWS, which is threatened with closure by La France Insoumise" (Unknown speaker, 00:09) • "and those who are attacking CNEWS today by trying to shut down this channel, which is nevertheless vital for the democratic pluralism that we value so much, this actually shows their weakness.

In these territories, getting an appointment with a specialist takes between four and eight months, while an appointment is available within the week 100 km away. The current situation forces the SDIS to provide patient transport, which is described as a marriage between the poor, involving struggling rescue centers and closing emergency departments.

The minimum wage will rise by 1.6% to reach 1,502 euros net. This decision, presented as the second-largest increase in twenty years, aims to launch a dynamic of negotiations within professional sectors to raise conventional minimums. Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu and Minister Jean-Pierre Farandou are simultaneously launching a reform project for general tax relief. A decree is expected to be issued to condition the payment of these public subsidies on the actual level of conventional minimums within the sectors. The goal is to restore flexibility to wage discussions while ensuring transparency in the use of taxpayer money. The system is complemented by tax measures integrated into the finance bill. The exemption ceiling for overtime pay is being raised from 7,500 to 10,000 euros, while the value-sharing bonus is being expanded, now covering nearly 4 million employees. Finally, the increase in the fuel bonus ceiling has been extended until 2027. In response to the mobilizations, the government is also establishing a reform committee for Parcoursup to make rapid regulatory decisions. Sébastien Lecornu emphasizes the need to commit to realistic and achievable measures in a budgetary context constrained by interest rates, while ensuring fiscal stability for households and businesses. • "We have decided to bring forward the Smic increase to December 1st and we have decided to set this increase at 1.6%.

According to him, increasing the minimum wage by 20 euros results in almost zero income growth and will solve nothing. He instead advocates for lowering the charges and taxes weighing on labor to return wages to the French people. This reform aims to reduce the gap between gross and net pay by decreasing the burden of social spending that stifles those who work. Finally, he calls for working more collectively, noting that France is the OECD country where people work the least per capita over a lifetime. He highlights the absurdity of having 3 million unemployed people while businesses, from artisans to large industries, are unable to recruit. • "First of all, it's a lie because we know very well that a revaluation of the minimum wage is immediately offset by the fact that all other benefits received by employees are reduced by the same amount, the activity bonus, for example. So in reality, increasing the minimum wage by €20 means increasing income by almost zero. And then the second thing that must be said is that it is truly the exact opposite of what our country needs, and in particular for all those who work and work hard and cannot make ends meet" (François-Xavier BELLAMY, 00:03) • "The weight of this, the weight, exactly, the weight of this taxation. And that is why everything is linked, the reform of the social model is linked to that.

He criticizes measures such as retirement at age 60, the 32-hour work week, a massive increase in the minimum wage (SMIC) to 1,600 euros, and the phase-out of nuclear power. According to him, these proposals lead to widespread impoverishment in a country marked by worrying debt and the highest taxes in the OECD. The vice-president of The Republicans calls for clarity from the right by proposing the opposite: a massive reduction in taxes, labor charges, and public spending. He advocates for giving freedom back to businesses to break out of the debt spiral. Finally, François-Xavier Bellamy supports reducing the number of civil servants by 400,000 positions in order to better pay those on the front lines. He believes it is necessary to reform a social model that he deems has become antisocial because it punishes those who work. • "Massive regularization of illegal immigrants, if we are talking about sovereign issues, is also a form of reward for illegality. Of course, this program is, from that point of view, dangerous in terms of restoring public order. But it is also dangerous in terms of the economy, indeed. Jean-Luc Mélenchon, as you said, wants to close all nuclear power plants, to phase out nuclear power. He wants the 32-hour work week, he wants to massively increase the minimum wage, he wants retirement at age 60" (François-Xavier BELLAMY, 00:00) • "Because after all, in a country where we already have the most worrying debt in the entire European Union, in a country where taxes are already the highest in the entire OECD, well, he says 100 billion euros in taxes, why not 200, 300 billion more? Jean-Luc Mélenchon tells us retirement at 60, but why not 55 or 50? You see, 32 hours a week is already too much, we should set the minimum wage at 2000 euros, well not just 1600.

Two names are now drawing attention: Stephen Miller, who has been named White House Chief of Staff, and Dana White" — Margot Hadad "Personally, I never believed he would work with the Democrats; he is viscerally incapable of it, and he has appointed Stephen Miller, whom I know well, by the way" — Gérard Araud "He is a very particular case for the United States; if you know the United States well, he is an ideologue. There is no pragmatism at all; he is an ideologue" — Gérard Araud "He answers me straight away: it's simple, the people who lose their positions with Trump do so because they try to moderate him. And so, since I am always more radical than he is, Trump moderates me, and that satisfies him" — Gérard Araud "Donald Trump, as a good narcissist, is never responsible for any failure, and he must throw—as they say in English—he must throw someone under the bus to say: 'It's his fault'" — Gérard Araud "Trump never admits that he is responsible, never admits a failure, and Trump always takes the offensive.

The goal is to maintain a balance between purchasing power and corporate competitiveness to encourage the recovery of investment. Regarding direct aid, the increase in the fuel bonus ceiling will be extended. While this ceiling was initially 300 euros, it was raised to 1,000 euros in the context of the crisis. The government will propose an amendment to maintain this 1,000-euro ceiling for next year, with an extension planned for 2027. Furthermore, the value-sharing bonus, which until now concerned 2.5 million employees in companies with fewer than 50 employees, will be opened to companies with more than 50 employees. The bonuses observed amount to an average of 750 euros, with a CSG exemption of approximately 70 euros. • "Until now, companies could, well until last year actually, companies could give a fuel bonus that was capped at 300 euros. We decided, in the context of the crisis we are in, to raise it to 1,000, and the government will propose an amendment that will allow this ceiling to be kept at 1,000 for next year" (Unknown speaker, 00:49) • "I can tell you that the measures to release barrels that we have taken to date mean that, in 76% of gas stations, the price of, the price of gasoline, sorry, the price of diesel has fallen, and it has fallen by an average of 21 cents. And so, that will have a very concrete impact on inflation for the month of November, which itself will therefore restore purchasing power beyond the SMIC increases that have been given. We have also decided to extend the increase in the fuel bonus ceiling to 2027, and this will be discussed in the context of the finance bill and the social security financing bill" (Unknown speaker, 00:49) • "There you go, in addition to these measures, we want to propose a very concrete purchasing power measure.

Delannoy) BFM Business: Debate on Jean-Luc Mélenchon's platform and French growth Jean-Luc Mélenchon's platform proposes over 1,000 measures, including a net minimum wage of €1,700, retirement at age 60, and a 32-hour work week. Éric Delannoy points out that the candidate highlights real issues such as the decline of a segment of the population, but notes that the €106 billion cost exceeds the entirety of income tax in France. The platform also provides for a state of social emergency allowing for the requisition of companies of general interest. Experts highlight the obstacles to French growth, notably a tax burden that is €60 billion out of sync with the European average and a complex layering of regulations. Delphine Hanton insists on the need for courageous candidates to face the reality of the country, while Éric Delannoy expresses concern over poverty increasing alongside record dividends. Compliance in the banking sector has seen its workforce triple in ten years, illustrating an administrative drift that consumes time and energy. To turn the economy around, the speakers discuss the need to cut public spending, which reaches €1,700 billion, particularly by working on annuities such as pensions. The creation of a European capital market is considered crucial to maintain investments in Europe. Finally, the development of mid-sized companies (ETIs) is presented as an essential lever for exports and regional development. • "There are over 1,000 proposals with a universal income of €1,330, a net minimum wage of €1,700, retirement at 60, and a 32-hour work week" (Laure Closier, 00:00) • "I remind you that €106 billion is just a little bit more than the entirety of income tax in France" (Mr. Éric Delannoy, 01:21) • "When you have a tax system, as we said earlier, that is completely out of sync with other ecosystems, that is a €60 billion tax difference compared to the European average" (Delphine Hanton, 10:22) • "Today, €100 billion in state interest expenses is scandalous, it's high, etc., we are at €1,700 billion in https://www.youtube.com/embed/z89IEOSj_HY 1591 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/zJ5LKsVD_cA 2026-11-09 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/zJ5LKsVD_cA/hqdefault.jpg François Pierrard : «Nous étions un pays riche, nous sommes en train de devenir un pays pauvre» Observatoire Hexagone: Analysis of the decline in living standards and wages in France France is experiencing a historic shift in its standard of living. While it was 15% above the eurozone average in 2014, it fell just below it in 2025. Between 2017 and 2025, France was one of only three countries in the eurozone where the average wage declined, with a 1.6% drop after adjusting for inflation. This situation is explained by prohibitive labor costs. France holds the European Union record for employer social contributions, which account for 32% of labor costs compared to 23% in Germany. The current system creates a "low-wage trap": giving a minimum wage (SMIC) employee a €100 raise costs the employer approximately €250. Furthermore, a €25 increase in the net minimum wage only results in a real gain of €15 for the employee due to the reduction in the activity bonus (prime d'activité). While total household income has increased, it does not stem from wages but from the rise in the number of people employed, investment income, and social benefits. At the same time, productivity has declined: France is one of the only countries in the world where less wealth is produced per hour of work today than in 2017. • "Today, we have fallen just below. Since 2025, it is a historic shift. We were a rich country, we are becoming a poor country" (Unknown speaker, 01:38) • "So, in reality, if we look at the twenty or so countries in the eurozone, from 2017 to 2025, we only find three countries where the average wage has declined, inflation deducted. France is one of them, with a 1.6% drop. And the result of all this is that in France, we have a standard of living that is declining compared to the eurozone average. This was unthinkable back in 2014. We were 15% above the eurozone average in terms of standard of living" (Unknown speaker, 01:08) • "So why aren't wages rising? It's because, in France, we have a triple specificity. First, we have labor costs that are prohibitive, because we have charges that weigh extremely heavily. https://www.youtube.com/embed/zJ5LKsVD_cA 238 2026-11-09 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/zMxoEJtkNPw 2026-11-09 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/zMxoEJtkNPw/hqdefault.jpg Réchauffement : Nos océans brûlent, et on regarde ailleurs Ocean warming and climate emergency: debates on political and judicial action The rate of ocean warming has doubled over the last two decades. The ocean stores more than 90% of the excess heat in the climate system, an energy comparable to the explosion of 12 Hiroshima bombs every second. This situation leads to thermal expansion of water and acidification that threatens food chains. 96% of coral reefs are now in a critical situation, with a high risk of extinction within fifty years. Despite the opening of COP31, concern is growing over the continued investment in fossil fuels. TotalEnergies has opened 23 new expansion projects in a single year. At the same time, the European Parliament's Committee on Fisheries is considering funding the construction of new boats despite chronic overcapacity. Current global warming trajectories are around plus 3 degrees by the end of the century. Recourse to the courts is increasing to compensate for political inaction, with precedents such as the Urgenda case or the 'Affaire du siècle' (Case of the Century). However, the French justice system is criticized for its lack of independence from political power.

The committee is examining women's health, including postpartum care, at a hearing in Perth. She said increasing participating midwives' bulk-billing "up to 12 months yesterday" would "make a huge difference". She said funding for them currently stops at eight weeks postpartum. Bradfield also told the committee Australia has no routine mechanism to collect data on women's outcomes after birth. She said "we are flying blind at a national level" about the condition women's bodies are left in. ### Pajak proposes 40-session perinatal Medicare plan Dr Ruzanna Pajak, a perinatal clinician and endorsed clinical psychologist, recommended a dedicated Medicare perinatal disorders treatment and management plan with up to 40 psychological sessions across 12 months for women with complex perinatal needs. She said the current plan gives up to 10 sessions, which is rarely enough for such women. She also called for a credentialing pathway for perinatal and infant psychologists. ### Ngala turns away most referrals Michelle Dillon, chief executive of Ngala, said the service receives over 250 referrals each month and can "only adequately match those to a 100", even after government funding raised its residential service by 241%. Andrea Creado, CEO of Ishar Multicultural Women's Health Services, told the committee that Medicare billing does not allow longer appointments, which discourages interpreter use. She said an additional billing item was needed. ### FIFO survey finds parents delay own care Vicki Pelloe, founder of the FIFO Family Project, told the committee that 86 of 90 at-home parents in its survey put their own health care on hold while their partner was away.

Doube said that about 18 months ago a change to investigations meant visitors no longer see preliminary assessments. She said: "We no longer have access to those preliminary assessments or, you know, other sorts of related documents. So, we have no way of knowing if that assessment has been conducted appropriately or not." Doube said the government solicitors advised visitors should have access. The issue has been in the last two quarterly reports, and she was not aware of ministerial action. ### Mental health unit renovation unanswered Geoff Dulhunty, Chair of the Official Visitors Board and previous Official Visitor for Mental Health, said he has raised the Adult Mental Health Unit environment in every quarterly report for five years. He said the last feedback was a "guesstimate of around $11 million" for renovations, and that he has had no formal feedback since. ### Federal government declined death review role Kim Webster, Official Visitor for Disability, told the Standing Committee on Social Policy that Minister Orr said the federal government had declined to work with the ACT on a disability death review. Asked by Greens MLA Laura Nuttall, Webster said it was "her hands were tied" in the minister's words. She added the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission rarely reports back on complaints. ### Children placed in adult mental health unit Dulhunty told the Social Policy Committee a guarantee of one-on-one care for children in the adult unit is not being met. He said oversight has since increased, with the Chief Psychiatrist's office monitoring admissions. ### Shorten says merger would grow jobs University of Canberra Vice-Chancellor Bill Shorten https://videos.polyfact.com/au-act-83cd15d4f3464c2b93b5b61cf65bcbc1-b945eb9a9d9b41faaa237e97861868ae-vod/manifest.m3u8 10351 2026-11-08 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/gr-vouli-2026-11-09-plenary-a-vod 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/gr-vouli-2026-11-09-plenary-a-vod/20261110155301/1280.jpg Συνεδρίαση Ολομέλειας 09/11/2026 ΚΔ' (Α' Μέρος) Συνεδρίαση Ολομέλειας 09/11/2026 ΚΔ' (Α' Μέρος) **χρηματοδότηση και λειτουργικά έξοδα των δήμων** « επίκαιρη ερώτηση της βουλευτή Β2 Δυτικού Τομέα Αθηνών της Κοινοβουλευτικής Ομάδας Κομμουνιστικό Κόμμα Ελλάδας, κυρίας Παρασκευής Δάγκα, προς τον Υπουργό Εσωτερικών με θέμα για την ανάγκη λήψης μέτρων στους δήμους της χώρας σχετικά με την εκρηκτική κατάσταση που διαμορφώνεται με τα οικονομικά τους » — Intervenant 1 « η κυβέρνηση μέσω του πρωθυπουργού πραγματικά με θράσος και προκλητικότητα δήλωσε στους δήμους να συμβιβαστούν με τα όποια ψίχουλα που δεν επαρκούν για να καλύψουν στοιχειωδώς τις ανάγκες λειτουργίας των δήμων, των δομών και των υπηρεσιών που έχουνε στην ευθύνη τους » — Intervenant 2 « προκύπτει η ανάγκη, υπουργέ, έκτακτων μέτρων για να μπορέσουν οι δήμοι στοιχειωδώς με βάση και τις αναμενόμενες νέες τιμές και την εκτόξευση της ακρίβειας στην ενέργεια να παρθούν έκτακτα μέτρα για την ολόπλευρη στήριξη των δήμων » — Intervenant 2 « έχουμε μία αύξηση από το 1,8 δις στα 3 δισεκατομμύρια, που είναι αύξηση της τάξεως του 67% στην τακτική χρηματοδότηση για λειτουργικές και επενδυτικές δραστηριότητες των δήμων » — Intervenant 5 « όλα τα χρηματοδοτικά προγράμματα, οι παρεμβάσεις που ανακοινώθηκαν από τον Πρωθυπουργό φτάνουν τα 5,2 δις κι έρχονται να προστεθούν στα 3 δις που θα είναι η τακτική χρηματοδότηση » — Intervenant 3 « Δεν είναι κινδυνολογία όταν σας λένε ότι δεν μπορούμε να καλύψουμε τα λειτουργικά έξοδα, από τη συντήρηση των σχολικών μονάδων μέχρι την πληρωμή των λογαριασμών του ρεύματος ή της θέρμανσης κτλ » — Intervenant 2 « η συζήτηση με τη ΔΕΗ ώστε να προβλεφθεί ειδικό τιμολόγιο ρεύματος για τους δήμους έχει ήδη δρομολογηθεί έχει ήδη δρομολογηθεί και το έχει αναλάβει προσωπικά ο πρωθυπουργός » — Intervenant 5 **ενισχύσεις και δηλώσεις ΟΣΔΕ των παραγωγών** « Επείγουσα ανάγκη για διερεύνηση και δυνατότητα διόρθωσης κωδικών λαθών στην ενιαία αίτηση ενίσχυσης 2025 των παραγωγών της Περιφερειακής Ενότητας Δράμας » — Intervenant 1 « Ως συνέπεια αυτού του αδιεξόδου, υπάρχει ορατός κίνδυνος οι αγρότες να https://videos.polyfact.com/gr-vouli-2026-11-09-plenary-a-vod/manifest.m3u8 10770 2026-11-08 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/gr-vouli-2026-11-09-plenary-b-vod 2026-11-10 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/gr-vouli-2026-11-09-plenary-b-vod/20261110155301/1280.jpg Συνεδρίαση Ολομέλειας 09/11/2026 ΚΔ' (Β' Μέρος) Συνεδρίαση Ολομέλειας 09/11/2026 ΚΔ' (Β' Μέρος) **Motor Oil refinery accident and safety** « Εισερχόμαστε στην με αριθμό 198 επίκαιρη ερώτηση του βουλευτή Α΄ Πειραιώς της κοινοβουλευτικής ομάδας Κομμουνιστικό Κόμμα Ελλάδας, κυρίου Νικολάου Αμπατιέλου, προς την υπουργό Εργασίας και Κοινωνικής Ασφάλισης, με θέμα: για σοβα- για το σοβαρό εργοδοτικό έγκλημα στο διυλιστήριο της Motor Oil » — Intervenant 4 « Κύριε υπουργέ, ως Κομμουνιστικό Κόμμα Ελλάδας καταθέσαμε τη σημερινή επίκαιρη ερώτηση για το πολύ σοβαρό εργοδοτικό έγκλημα τη στο διυλιστήριο της Motor Oil που είχε σαν αποτέλεσμα η έκρηξη να χάσουν τη ζωή τους δύο εργαζόμενοι » — Intervenant 3 « Μπροστά στα κέρδη, ξέρετε, στο συγκεκριμένο παράδειγμα της Motor Oil, σε συνθήκες shutdown που κάθε μέρα κλειστό διυλιστήριο σημαίνει βεβαίως για τους μετόχους της Motor Oil κάποια μικρή χασούρα, τα κέρδη τους, ξέρετε πόσο είναι μόνο το πρώτο εξάμηνο του 2026 σε σχέση με πέρσι;

Sarah Toohey, CEO of the Community Housing Industry Association Victoria, said the Commonwealth should establish a permanent rolling 10-year funding pipeline and a 20-year commitment to invest A$2.5 billion a year in real terms into the Housing Australia Future Fund (HAFF). Toohey said the HAFF has delivered a boost to supply, but with its third round being allocated and the program due to be completed by 2029, there is no clear future pipeline. She said that in each funding boost, community and public housing sectors build capacity only to lose it when the program ends. The committee set 24 November 2026 for any answers on notice. ### Toohey says community providers build for less Sarah Toohey said community housing providers have delivered homes at a significantly lower cost to government than direct government building, in Victoria's Big Housing Build. Asked by Greens senator Barbara Pocock about community housing and public housing, she said the Social Housing Growth Fund cost government about A$34,000 a unit against about A$650,000 under the Social Housing Accelerator, then corrected the build figure she was asked about to A$334,000. She attributed the saving mainly to access to land and providers' own equity, and said public housing still has an important role. ### UDIA calls for HAFF funding to double The Urban Development Institute of Australia's Andrew Manna, head of policy and government relations, told the committee the Housing Australia Future Fund should double to A$20 billion, with a decade for the fund to be drawn down. Charles Dowd, an advisor to the institute, told Liberal senator Richard Colbeck a 60-home HAFF round one project was costing about A$30 million, about A$500,000 a dwelling, against https://videos.polyfact.com/au-parliament-5103366-c1-vod/manifest.m3u8 21600 2026-11-08 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/au-parliament-5103358-c1-live 2026-11-09 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/au-parliament-5103358-c1-live/20261109033022/1280.jpg Senate Environment and Communications Legislation Committee Official Recording of Senate Committee Proceedings from the Australian Parliament https://videos.polyfact.com/au-parliament-5103358-c1-live/manifest.m3u8 21600 2026-11-08 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/au-parliament-5103358-c1-vod 2026-11-09 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/au-parliament-5103358-c1-vod/20261109110119/1280.jpg Senate Environment and Communications Legislation Committee (part 1 of 2) Platforms back duty of care but say bill is unclear ### Industry body says compliance standard unclear The Senate Environment and Communications Legislation Committee held its first hearing on Monday 9 November 2026 into the Online Safety Amendment (Digital Duty of Care) Bill 2026, which would place a duty of care on online services. The hearing took evidence from parents, child-safety groups, consumer and technical bodies and platforms. Answers on notice are due by Friday 13 November 2026. Jennifer Duxbury, director of policy, regulatory affairs and research at Digital Industry Group Inc. (DIGI), told the committee: "The standard of compliance that is set for the duty is unclear." She said it was not clear whether the duty was absolute or a reasonably practicable standard, as the explanatory memorandum states. She said the bill creates incentives for companies to take down content they consider borderline, and told Liberal senator Sarah Henderson DIGI had no view on whether existing codes should be kept. She said it supports a duty of care in principle. ### Platforms support duty but dispute private action Meta's Mia Garlick, Google's Rachel Lord, TikTok's Jessica Lovestedt and Snap's Ben Ow told the committee they support a duty of care in principle. Asked by Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young whether Australians should be able to sue, Garlick, Regional Director on the APAC policy team at Meta, said: "we think it is going to be challenging to amend this bill to provide individual rights of action". She said Australians already use common law, consumer law and privacy law. Lovestedt said it was a decision for the parliament. ### TikTok and Google flag ambiguity and age checks TikTok's Jessica Lovestedt, TikTok Public Policy Lead in Australia and New Zealand, told Liberal senator Sarah Henderson the bill "replaces certainty with ambiguity and with subjectivity". She said abolishing the existing codes without a clear pathway was of significant concern. Google's Rachel Lord said section 27D could require Google to https://videos.polyfact.com/au-parliament-5103358-c1-vod/manifest.m3u8 21600 2026-11-08 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/I-297337-vod 2026-11-08 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/I-297337-vod/20261108190046/1280.jpg European Commissioner Marta KOS in Chisinau, Moldova European Commissioner Marta Kos visits Chisinau to mark Moldova's energy independence **Ending dependence on Russian energy** « You have stressed how important this is.

I haven't heard of Vulcănești before, "...we need this grid between Chișinău and Vulcănești. You have to help us." And then he explained it to me.

Des vies sont brisées ! » François Piquemal denounces an authoritarian police doctrine in the face of youth protests François Piquemal asserts that there is currently an authoritarian police doctrine in France. He believes that protests, which constitute public liberties, should not be repressed by mutilating weapons. According to him, the response provided to youth social movements favors these weapons rather than negotiations or political solutions with concrete proposals. The speaker illustrates his point with the example of Tony, a young man who lost his hand in Toulouse while attending a protest. Having worked in the restaurant industry since the age of 16, his personal and professional future is now shattered. These situations create, according to the author, a very serious relationship of distrust and conflict with the police. Returning to Thursday's demonstration involving the inter-union coalition (CGT, UNSA, CFDT), he disputes the idea that the events went well. He reports that participants were attacked and tear-gassed, reiterating that protests should not be subjected to such treatment. • "No, no, there is an authoritarian police doctrine in France today and I am not afraid to say it. And protests are a public liberty, and when you respond to your youth in this way, all you create is a relationship of distrust and conflict with the police, and that is very serious" (Unknown speaker, 01:03) • "I believe that our protests, which are public liberties, should not be repressed by mutilating weapons. My argument is to say that today, when we have a youth social movement, the first thing they are met with is not negotiations, not political solutions with concrete proposals, but mutilating weapons that injure our young people. I will give you, I will give you an example" (Unknown speaker, 00:00) • "who has been working in the restaurant industry since he was 16.

These are, for example, two things that are in opinion polls, so it will remain to be tested during the constituent assembly, but two things that seem to have unanimous support" — Mr. François Piquemal **Police and security doctrine** "And in particular, there is a section on the question of, what we call safety and security, the return of community policing, giving back resources to the judicial police that were cut by Mr. Darmanin" — Unknown speaker "And today there is a distrust that exists, which is unbearable, and which was put in place notably by the fact that there was an instrumentalization of the police for political purposes" — Mr. François Piquemal "We, what we are simply saying is that, for example, there are missions, notably the municipal police, we are in favor of protective weapons, but not for lethal weapons, that is to say not for weapons that kill" — Unknown speaker "So, two things: the first is that we are going to pay for overtime since we were talking about the work of police officers, we at least will pay them" — Unknown speaker "No, no, there is an authoritarian police doctrine today in France and I am not afraid to say it.

This approach aims to oppose the genocide in Gaza as well as the progressive annexation of the West Bank. French ships could escort flotillas of citizens mobilized to defend the people's rights. The opposition also extends to the annexation of southern Lebanon and the Golan Heights. Concrete mobilization is planned against the extension of atrocities targeting besieged and persecuted Christian communities in Palestine and Lebanon. • "Mr. Israeli Ambassador, I understand, said he would prefer anyone elected to the presidency of the French Republic rather than me. Well, I answer him that indeed, if he is still there, in France, we will act frontally to aid the Palestinians, not only against the genocide in Gaza, but against the progressive annexation of the West Bank. French ships, like those of Italy and Spain, if necessary, will escort the flotillas of citizens mobilized to assert the rights of the people" (Unknown speaker, 00:00) • "We do not accept the progressive annexation of the West Bank, nor of southern Lebanon, nor of the Golan Heights, and we will concretely organize the mobilization against the extension of atrocities to the besieged and persecuted Christian communities in Palestine and Lebanon" (Unknown speaker, 00:00) https://www.youtube.com/embed/09noWXm2fVA 72 2026-11-08 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/0GTj3bAUKnI 2026-11-08 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/0GTj3bAUKnI/hqdefault.jpg Raphaël Glucksmann, candidat PS-Place Publique en 2027, était l’invité du Grand Oral 2027 Raphaël Glucksmann on BFMTV's Grand Oral regarding Jean-Luc Mélenchon's strategy **Jean-Luc Mélenchon and the radical break** "Today, it is Jean-Luc Mélenchon who is leading in the polls, and yesterday, during his rally at Le Bourget, he specifically said that a radical break is needed and that he is the one who will carry this break. So he also has his voice to contribute to the left" — Unknown speaker "But when he, in recent days, relied, for example, on the example of Lula by saying that between the two rounds, things can happen" — Unknown speaker **Ability to beat Madame Le Pen and the far right** "But that he has his voice is an absolute certainty. I was asking, who can take power in this country? And I think with certainty that Jean-Luc Mélenchon cannot be President of the Republic because he scares 70% of the French population too much, because he has made noise and fury his strategy, because, in reality, he cannot beat Madame Le Pen when he finds himself facing her" — Unknown speaker "He is starting very high, but why? Because, at some point, the question that will be asked of each and every one of us, particularly on the left, is our ability or lack thereof to prevent the far right from taking power in this country. Because Madame Le Pen is, yes, at the gates of the Élysée and there will therefore be a very different reflection than in the last elections" — Unknown speaker "No, but let me finish.

Cyril Jeannin, regional secretary of Un1té Gironde, explains that public order disturbances typically occur at the end of the procession, caused by hooded and agitated individuals. Approximately 600 people had been identified as potential troublemakers. Faced with the use of mortars and fireworks by the remaining protesters, public security forces were mobilized. Units such as the RAID and the BRI are on high alert, and barbed wire has surrounded the Bordeaux police station for several days. Cyril Jeannin emphasizes that the situation is tense and that maintaining order hangs by a thread despite a deployment of forces close to the maximum threshold. The material toll includes damaged street furniture, which represents a significant cost to the State. On the side of law enforcement, one injury was reported, with the officer suffering from tinnitus following mortar fire. Nationally, the day was marked by approximately 300 arrests. • "So you see, the BRI is on high alert, the RAID. It's just that, well, there are still many elements that lead us to believe that it hangs by a thread. So we are containing them, but it hangs by a thread" (Unknown speaker, 04:16) • "Because to avoid this destruction, well, there are a lot of police officers.

This phenomenon is accompanied by a decline in standards, even though these are perceived as the best way to verify children's knowledge. Today, selection is equated with discrimination. The debate pits the republican vision against 'pedagogism'. According to a quoted formula, the republican believes that one must first know mathematics to teach it, while the pedagogist believes that one must first know the student. This drift is associated with the emergence of a school centered on the 'child king'. Historically, this evolution began with the abolition of grades so as not to traumatize poor students. Although grades have returned, this period marked the beginning of a system where high standards became a negative concept within the Republic's school system. • "The great lie that costs us very dearly because when you lie so much to such a large part of the youth, you end up paying for it very dearly. There you go, we have two things. There was pedagogism, once again, which I was telling you about earlier, but it is very important. That is to say, that is the collapse of the school on a fundamental level. And it has a consequence, which is that standards are collapsing" (Unknown speaker, 00:00) • "There you go, so it started, it started like that. And afterwards, we had pedagogism that came on top of it. You know, there is a very nice formula by Régis Debray that says the difference between a republican and a pedagogist can be summarized simply in the following way. It is: the republican is the one who says 'To teach mathematics to Paul, you must first know mathematics' and the pedagogist is the one who says 'To teach mathematics to Paul, you must first know Paul'. There you go" (Unknown speaker, 00:52) • "There are no more standards. Standards in themselves become something negative.

Some no longer consult their doctor for fear of financial difficulties at the end of the month, which complicates the management of chronic illnesses. This situation generates palpable anxiety, even during emergency interventions, where the question of cost becomes an immediate concern. For patients suffering from severe heart failure, the payment of €23 for a consultation with a primary care physician is added to electricity and gas bills. Faced with total expenses, this additional cost sometimes becomes impossible to bear. • "We are actually noticing an increase in patients, particularly retired patients, who will either directly give up on subscribing to supplementary health insurance due to what are effectively exorbitant costs, or who will have a sort of trauma, meaning they won't go to see their doctor, telling themselves that the end of the month is difficult, I don't have enough budget, and so I will perhaps wait a little longer.

This proposal is accompanied by a component of violence targeting political, media, and journalistic figures, as well as the police. Economically, this program is described as a great leap into the unknown. The analysis highlights that France already holds world records with public spending reaching 57% of GDP and a compulsory tax rate of 48%. Jean-Luc Mélenchon proposes to further increase these taxes on individuals, businesses, and the wealthy. Regarding immigration, while France records nearly 400,000 legal entries, the program plans for the massive regularization of illegal immigrants. The speaker believes that these proposals only exacerbate the current situation where France is already the European country hosting the most immigrants. • "Jean-Luc Mélenchon puts targets on the backs of certain people: political, media, journalists, etc. etc. So that, indeed. But in reality, what we see of Jean-Luc Mélenchon's program, ultimately it is Emmanuel Macron's record in XXL with all the component of violence we just talked about, against the police, against journalists, etc., because in fact what does he want, Jean-Luc Mélenchon?

According to him, the challenge lies less in the level of the minimum wage (SMIC), which is higher than that of many neighbors, than in the proportion of French people who remain stuck at that level. He advocates for a reduction in social charges funded by savings on operating expenses. Politically, he calls for the organization of a primary to select a candidate and create project momentum. This step is presented as the only way to organize a necessary gathering to avoid a second round between LFI and the RN, which he describes as a catastrophe for the country. Finally, he expresses the importance of consideration for the social movement, particularly that of high school students. However, he warns against organizing debates in the National Assembly on overly specific points, such as the closure of branches, fearing militant instrumentalization by the various political parties. • "If we want to avoid the LFI-RN second round which would be a catastrophe for the country, we must organize a gathering.

This improvement is attributed to a substantial police presence and more robust crowd control measures. During the last day of protests, the ratio was approximately one police officer for every two protesters, with 70,000 law enforcement personnel mobilized for 146,000 people. However, this situation poses a difficult equation for the minister to solve. Security forces cannot be maintained at such a level of mobilization—70,000 officers on the street two or three times a week—over the long term. Police must simultaneously ensure daily policing while protesters plan to take to the streets until they achieve their goals. Staff exhaustion is highlighted after a year busy with the Olympics, the World Cup, and the Pope's visit. With the arrival of the Christmas holidays, police officers have no rest and are systematically recalled or have their shifts rescheduled. The preparation leading up to these major events has already placed enormous demands on police officers and gendarmes. • "We can note, I think, that there is a de-escalation in terms of violence, vandalism, and looting. People were certainly a bit fewer in number, and the police deployment was still very, very substantial. Now, there is still an equation that will have to be solved, and it will be up to our minister to solve it, which is that he will not be able to put 70,000 police officers on the street two or three times a week. We still have daily policing to ensure on the other side. We won't be able to keep this up for too long" (Unknown speaker, 00:00) • "Exactly. Yeah, exactly.

She testifies to a feeling of suspicion during checks and the fear of not being believed when reporting violence due to her status as a foreigner. In Madagascar, she denounces the normalization of gender-based violence and the illegality of abortion, which she considers an urgent law to reform. She highlights the influence of the Christian religion and the taboos surrounding these subjects, while pointing to period poverty where women use paper or banana leaves for lack of sanitary protection. Her involvement in the Gen Z Madagascar movement is motivated by government corruption and the difficulty of accessing basic services like electricity. She observes that while women are on the front lines of protests to care for and feed participants, they disappear from the political sphere when the military comes to power. Through her social enterprise, she now supports women from the African diaspora in entrepreneurship. Claiming her dual identity as a Tananarivian and a Parisian, she wishes to highlight the strength of these women who move forward despite adversity. • "The decriminalization of abortion, for me, is an urgent law because it is the associations that, behind the scenes, end up welcoming these young girls who have gone through illegal abortions and ended up with infections" (Speaker 9, 15:13) • "And also, if you didn't know, the practice of abortion is illegal in Madagascar.

It has become forbidden to question immigration, except to praise its benefits, marking a return to a situation from about 20 years ago. This situation follows the exploitation of a horrific racist act where it has become impossible to state the obvious. Certain taboos concern the statements made by the father of a victim of a racist attack, whose antisemitic remarks or expressions of hatred toward France cannot be mentioned. Conversely, when Quentin Deranque was murdered, some newspapers labeled him a Nazi the very next morning. Faced with this hostility, intellectual and moral attacks no longer have a personal impact. Since these methods do not work electorally, they are now expressed through legal channels, via judges and through hatred. • "No, but it is true that with this period of violence, we have crossed a new threshold of intolerance. In truth, we have regressed to the status quo ante of about 20 years ago where, indeed, it was forbidden to question immigration, except to praise its benefits.

Food sovereignty and agricultural power: an interview with Thierry Blandinières of InVivo A country's sovereignty rests on two major pillars: managing energy at a competitive price and food. France is an agricultural power that must exert influence and preserve its agriculture, which is considered a solid common good. This power implies international solidarity, notably through the promotion of French cereals to provide the best products to other countries. Globalization has helped increase the purchasing power of the French people through exports of cereals, wine, and cheese. It is deemed necessary not to lock ourselves behind barriers or taxes that would be sources of inflation. Exporting remains essential for the economic balance of the sector. The future of agriculture requires strong political recognition of farmers and the development of a more accessible and competitive model. While moving upmarket and organic farming have been highlighted since 2017, the current challenge is to commit to sustainability, soil preservation, and respect for the environment over the long term. • "There are two great pillars of a country's sovereignty: energy, the ability to manage its energy at a competitive price, and food" (Unknown speaker, 00:30) • "Sovereignty is a dimension of power. We are an agricultural power. An agricultural power must exert influence" (Unknown speaker, 01:38) • "It is thanks to globalization that we have been able to increase the purchasing power of the French people because we export a lot, and the fact of exporting our cereals, our wine, our cheese, is still essential" (Unknown speaker, 04:03) • "So we must develop a different agriculture, more accessible, more competitive, respectful of the environment, which commits to everything related to sustainability, long term, and soil preservation" (Unknown speaker, 04:59) • "We must give them back deserved recognition, say that we love them and that we want to work with them and promote their production, and therefore provide means and very strong https://www.youtube.com/embed/83iT-A7DnYw 342 2026-11-08 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/9KsNqIOvggg 2026-11-08 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/9KsNqIOvggg/hqdefault.jpg #Direct 🔴 Jean-Noël Barrot, invité du Grand Jury RTL - Public Sénat - Ouest France 2026-11-08 11:42 #Direct 🔴 Jean-Noël Barrot, ministre de l'Europe et des Affaires étrangères, invité du Grand Jury RTL - Public Sénat - Ouest France https://www.youtube.com/embed/9KsNqIOvggg 2667 2026-11-08 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/9KsNqIOvggg-vod 2026-11-08 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/9KsNqIOvggg/hqdefault.jpg #Direct 🔴 Jean-Noël Barrot, invité du Grand Jury RTL - Public Sénat - Ouest France 2026-11-08 11:42 Jean-Noël Barrot on Le Grand Jury: European independence, international security, and democratic challenges **European security and support for Ukraine** "It has been a long time since the United States shifted its priority from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

This is what we have been saying since the first day and what President Zelensky also expresses" — Mr. Jean-Noël Barrot "this coalition of the willing is basically a military planning exercise to respond to a security problem on a continental scale which, for the first time in our recent history, is not being handled within NATO, but is being handled independently" — Mr. Jean-Noël Barrot "It is to say that once peace is concluded, this international mission, this coalition of nations, would first support the regeneration of the Ukrainian army, which is our primary security guarantee" — Mr. Jean-Noël Barrot "what is truly unhealthy, I say it, is to try, as Marine Le Pen and Jean-Luc Mélenchon do, to make the French believe that their purchasing power problems are linked to France's budgetary aid to Ukraine.

Les drones navals révolutionnent la guerre maritime French naval strategy at Euronaval: drones, seabed, and critical infrastructure The evolution of naval combat should not pit low-cost solutions against expensive technological programs. Alice Rufo emphasizes that an effective military model relies on coherence and shortening innovation cycles. France, with its vast exclusive economic zone, is investing to defend its spaces from the surface down to the seabed at 6,000 meters. The Ministry of the Armed Forces has just signed for the acquisition of very deep-sea drones to strengthen this freedom of action. The security of critical infrastructure has become a strategic priority in the face of increasing sabotage and threats in Europe. Submarine cables, essential for global digital data transport, as well as gas pipelines, are subject to increased surveillance. Precise reconnaissance and mapping operations conducted by Russia off the coasts of Western Europe have been observed, while Iran has explicitly designated certain cables as legitimate targets. Faced with these challenges, France favors a defensive and deterrent posture within NATO and European partnerships, such as with Sweden. State action at sea relies on an agile model to influence the Russian war effort, particularly through the control of the shadow fleet. The integration of drones, used as force multipliers, now complements the sovereign capabilities of national industrial sectors, notably that of nuclear submarines. • "Last week, the Ministry of the Armed Forces announced the signing of the acquisition of very deep-sea drones. It is an important step" (Speaker 7, 27:34) • "basically what that means is that everywhere in Europe, there is sabotage. Everywhere in Europe, there are threats to critical infrastructure, including submarine cables since we are here at Euronaval" (Ms. Alice Rufo, 08:20) • "I do not believe that the lesson of recent conflicts and the evolution of maritime combat, of naval combat, justifies pitting low cost against programs that are perhaps a bit more expensive and require https://www.youtube.com/embed/A0RTJrM_xK4 1960 2026-11-08 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/Ap10SJ42p_w 2026-11-08 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Ap10SJ42p_w/hqdefault.jpg Patronat et syndicats reçus lundi à Matignon : la colère va-t-elle retomber ? • FRANCE 24 Social conference at Matignon and a show of force by Jean-Luc Mélenchon Sébastien Lecornu is hosting unions and employers at Matignon for a social conference focused on wages and purchasing power. Demands include a 10% increase in the minimum wage (SMIC), an increase in the civil service index point, and price freezes on essential goods. The government is facing a triple political, economic, and democratic challenge, as the bond of trust with social partners remains difficult to restore. In parallel, Jean-Luc Mélenchon gathered 20,000 people at Le Bourget to present the "L'Avenir en commun" (A Future in Common) program. His strategy of radicalism aims to appeal to non-voters and young people. Notable proposals include abandoning nuclear power and new rights for citizens. This program is presented as the sole basis for discussion for other left-wing parties. On the right and in the center, the situation is marked by the absence of a single candidate to counter the campaigns of Jean-Luc Mélenchon and Marine Le Pen. While Édouard Philippe seeks to embody this space without going through a primary, 66 parliamentarians are calling for the organization of a "primary of democrats and republicans." To be effective, this process would need to be held before the start of the year to prevent the right from becoming trapped in an internal dialogue. • "But first, a word on this social conference organized this Monday at Matignon following the mobilizations of November 5 and 7. Sébastien Lecornu is receiving unions and employers to discuss the issue of wages and purchasing power" (Speaker 1, 00:23) • "The demands are clear. 1, we must increase all wages.

Analysis of the US midterm elections and the ebb of the populist wave Recent global elections, notably the defeat of Viktor Orbán in Hungary and Lula's victory over Bolsonaro in Brazil, raise questions about the ability to counter a populist wave once considered inevitable. This situation is compared to the communist waves of the 1950s to 1970s in France or Italy, where strong parties eventually declined without ever reaching power. In the United States, despite real economic hardship, voters seem to be turning away from easy populist solutions. According to the analysis of the results from this election night, Americans have begun to regain their dignity in the face of these issues. • "Absolutely, I think economic suffering should not be ignored, and one thing I take away from this night in the United States that can be applied to the whole world is that in the face of that suffering, in the face of very easy populist solutions, Americans tonight began to regain their dignity" (Unknown speaker, 00:43) • "We also see on a global scale in recent months the defeat of Viktor Orbán in Hungary, the victory of Lula over Bolsonaro in Brazil. Can we begin to draw some form of conclusion about the ability to counter a populist wave that some described as inevitable?" (Unknown speaker, 00:00) • "Yes, yes, the conclusion from my point of view is that there is no inevitability. Many voters are seduced by that vote, but in reality, there are also reactions. You know, it always makes me think a bit of the communist waves of the 50s, 60s, and 70s where we had a very, very high communist party, but which never came to power in Italy or France for example, and which eventually declined. We could be in the same situation" (Unknown speaker, 00:16) https://www.youtube.com/embed/B7irqnY-AGQ 57 2026-11-08 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/BSV94ZXdE2I 2026-11-08 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/BSV94ZXdE2I/hqdefault.jpg Gabriel Attal : discussion sans filtre avec François Lenglet (Présidentielle 2027) Gabriel Attal on TF1: government record, debt crisis, and European future Gabriel Attal reflects on his time as the youngest Prime Minister of the Fifth Republic, asserting a temperament different from that of Emmanuel Macron while taking responsibility for his past actions. He reveals that he was opposed to the dissolution, highlighting its negative financial impact: the interest rate spread with Germany has widened from 30 to 175 basis points. Faced with the risk of a debt crisis, he calls for the budget to be passed and argues that the bulk of savings must now come from social spending, which accounts for two-thirds of public expenditure. On the social front, the former Prime Minister proposes an overhaul of the pension system toward a universal model that aligns rules for civil servants, employees, and the self-employed. He observes a different relationship with work among younger generations, advocating for a better balance between personal and professional life, notably through a four-day work week. He laments a current model that sacrifices the future for the present, with a 15% drop in education and research spending over 30 years. Regarding education and authority, Gabriel Attal denounces a form of naivety and "lying" to families, citing the discovery of artificially inflated grades for the brevet exam. He calls for putting leaders back on the ground and reforming the 1945 ordinance on minors in the face of the normalization of violence. Finally, he identifies artificial intelligence as a major issue for job creation and advocates for a historic leap toward a "United States of Europe" to face economic competition, particularly from China. • "our spread, as they say, our interest rate gap with the Germans was 30 basis points before the dissolution, it is 175 today.

He officially asks Mélenchon to condemn these intimidation tactics that prevent a candidate from speaking. In parallel, questions remain regarding the strategy to adopt: should one talk to the left to surpass Mélenchon or appeal to the center-left composed of voters disappointed by Macronism. On the right, Édouard Philippe is described as struggling in the polls and trailing Marine Le Pen. He categorically refuses the idea of a primary, a subject that has become taboo within Horizons, where threats of exclusion target those who might call for one. Philippe is trying to relaunch himself by insisting on the theme of immigration, although purchasing power remains the priority for the French. The national right is judged to be in a state of decay, despite a certain local notability maintained in the Senate. Furthermore, David Lisnard proposes a liberal discourse aimed at reducing the state, while Jordan Bardella publishes a Prime Minister's program titled "Governing." Finally, the election date set for April 18 remains contested by several candidates. • "Jean-Luc Mélenchon has established a climate of brutality," he says, it's on the front page of La Tribune Dimanche" (Speaker 5, 00:00) • "after his victory in the primary, he officially asked Jean-Luc Mélenchon to denounce these intimidation tactics, which is what he calls them, that is to say, preventing a candidate from being able to express themselves" (Speaker 1, 01:50) • "do we really need to talk to the left to try to get past Mélenchon or do we need to capture the center that is in despair today, the center-left, that of voters disappointed by Macronism" (Speaker 1, 02:53) • "That's why Édouard Philippe won't budge, he doesn't want a primary, he considers that at some point, the mojo will return to him, saying that https://www.youtube.com/embed/BWgmgNRW5ZM 1016 2026-11-08 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/CEsW-m9x8B4 2026-11-08 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/CEsW-m9x8B4/hqdefault.jpg Henri Guaino : «On est en train de s'enfermer dans les confrontations de toutes les radicalités» Henri Guaino on the confinement within the confrontation of radicalisms and public debate Current public and political life is locking itself into a confrontation of all radicalisms, where the slippage of language prevents any serene debate in favor of insults.

This announcement follows a 41% increase over ten years, which is higher than inflation. The cost structure is divided into thirds between taxes, the grid that needs modernization to accommodate renewable energies, and generation. French electricity remains competitive with a price of €113 per megawatt-hour for 2027, compared to €145 in Germany. The nuclear fleet, designed to modulate its production, ensures energy sovereignty and allows for the export of €5 billion worth of electricity to neighboring countries, offsetting a portion of the €60 billion in fossil fuel imports. Despite the shutdown of seven reactors during the last heatwave due to water flow or temperature issues, nuclear power provided more than 80% of electricity this summer. EDF plans a budget of more than €8.8 billion next year for power plants and hydroelectricity. For consumers, switching to a heat pump allows for 50% savings on energy bills compared to oil or gas, and charging an electric car is 3 to 5 times cheaper than a combustion engine. A budget is also planned to help 80,000 low-income households with a €1,000 bonus. Eventually, the share of electricity in energy consumption could double, requiring more consistent taxation. • "So, concretely, for us, for individual customers, I can tell you that prices are and will be stable for almost all of our offers for individuals until at least February 1st" (Unknown speaker, 04:02) • "I'll give you an idea for next year, the 2027 calendar year, it's €113 per megawatt-hour in France, €145 in Germany, €171 in Italy, and €120 in Spain, whereas historically the Spanish were usually a bit lower" (Unknown speaker, 03:42) • "Today, we have technical solutions and we have a significant budget for electricity for nuclear power plants, for hydroelectricity, of more than 8.8 billion and 450 million starting next year" https://www.youtube.com/embed/FijB9rt2FRc 943 2026-11-08 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/FudXa4HcgRY 2026-11-08 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/FudXa4HcgRY/hqdefault.jpg Gilles-William Goldnadel : «Ce qui caractérise le plus l'extrême gauche, c'est l'intolérance» Gilles-William Goldnadel denounces the intolerance of the far-left and the threats against CNews **Intolerance and street violence** "And he is one of the worst in the antisemitic party. You have to understand that, but excuse me, it is not just La France Insoumise that wants CNews to be shut down. There is a fairly close relationship between the strength, in a way, of the right—the right that, by the way, has had enough of mass immigration and says so and dares to say so—and precisely the intolerance of the far-left. What characterizes the far-left most today, even beyond La France Insoumise, is intolerance. And it relies, moreover, on street violence, on the books that are being removed—we might talk about that—and effectively on everything like the demand for the closure of CNews." — Unknown speaker "But very sincerely, this is the first time since I was born that during an election period where people can democratically hope for what they want, for change, we are in such a state of intolerance and street violence. It has never happened before.

France has a net macroeconomic savings rate of just over 3%, meaning it does not consume more than it produces. However, the country is forced to borrow from French or foreign creditors. The current situation is described as the result of decades of economic policy blunders. Instead of borrowing to invest, France now borrows to repay debt or to pay for daily expenses. One speaker points out that if 1 trillion had been borrowed for investment when the debt was at that level, the country would not be reaching 3 trillion in debt today. The debate also focuses on solutions to regain 2% growth. The 'chainsaw' method used by Milei in Argentina is criticized, despite a drop in inflation from 200% to 30%. Finally, the social situation is considered worrying: the improvement in poverty is seen as over, and the poverty rate is rising again. • "Yes, but that exists, but the 6.6 trillion, they are already being used. The 6.6 trillion, they are not in drawers, they are not under mattresses. The 6.6 trillion, a good portion is used to finance the debt. There you go. You have to look So, macroeconomically, you have to tell yourself one thing, first" (Speaker 15, 00:12) • "If when we had 1 trillion in debt we had borrowed 1 trillion more to invest, today we wouldn't have 3 trillion in debt" (Speaker 5, 01:01) • "No, that's not true, that's not true. That's not true. So, inflation is the problem of monetary policy, it's not the problem of fiscal policy. And on the other hand, the poverty rate, that's it, it's over, it's over and the poverty rate is increasing again" (Speaker 16, 01:55) • "No, because you say: 'We must regain 2% growth'. You say: 'We are missing 1.6% of growth'. So, I'm willing to do the 1.6% growth, but how do we do it" (Speaker 4, 01:20) • "Because that is the fruit of all the economic policy blunders we have made for decades" (Speaker 3, 00:56) https://www.youtube.com/embed/GlnBdkAMri8 134 2026-11-08 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/H-4GsP9Vug4 2026-11-08 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/H-4GsP9Vug4/hqdefault.jpg Julien Dray : «Le programme de Jean-Luc Mélenchon est inapplicable» Julien Dray's analysis of Jean-Luc Mélenchon's platform Jean-Luc Mélenchon's platform, consisting of 1,069 measures, is deemed inapplicable and disastrous for the French economy. According to the analysis, the political battle must be won on the substance of these measures rather than through slogans, because their implementation would leave people holding the bag in the event of a victory. Internationally, Jean-Luc Mélenchon has taken a step further by now advocating for a total withdrawal from NATO, rather than just from the integrated command. Furthermore, the desire to invent a new rule at the European level would lead France to leave Europe. The fiscal and industrial measures are also highlighted as problematic. • "First of all, it is a speech that presents a platform of 1,069 measures. There you go. So we must debate the substance, because among the measures, by the way, because I think that's how we will win the political battle, not just with slogans, it is a platform that is inapplicable. There you go. It is a disastrous platform for the French economy, inapplicable and which cannot be implemented" (Unknown speaker, 00:00) • "That means there will be people left holding the bag if by any chance he were to win. So we must review all the measures, I am thinking in particular of the fiscal level, I am thinking in particular of the industrial level and obviously the international level. And I say in passing that Jean-Luc Mélenchon has crossed a line because from now on it is no longer the integrated command of NATO that he wants to leave, it is NATO in general, since he now says: 'We will leave NATO' and on the substance, he also wants to invent a new rule at the European level that will lead France to leave Europe" (Unknown speaker, 00:21) https://www.youtube.com/embed/H-4GsP9Vug4 53 2026-11-08 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/HkWQ6CutwcI 2026-11-08 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/HkWQ6CutwcI/hqdefault.jpg Benjamin Camboulives : «Si on est ferme, on n'aura plus besoin de policiers pour une manifestation» Benjamin Camboulives on the necessary firmness against violence during demonstrations **Laxity and impunity in the face of violence** "It is obvious that the date of the election, with the accumulation that will occur with May 1st, is a subject.

The group bet on natural products and regained its independence by leaving the stock market in 2008. Today, Virginie Courtin leads the company with the ambition of combining innovation with respect for nature. Arnaud Bruillon, president of Finsbury, shares his journey, which began as a simple salesperson. After becoming a franchisee, he reinvested his earnings to buy the brand, which was then niche, and develop it. He emphasizes the importance of hard work and constant innovation to remain a leader, while noting that physical stores still account for 80% of revenue. The regulatory framework is changing for self-employed professionals wishing to combine employment and retirement. Starting January 1, 2027, the age of 64 will become the sole criterion for unlocking this combination. Exceptions remain for those who have already liquidated their rights or hold dual status as an employee and a self-employed professional, allowing them to keep the current rules under certain timing conditions. • "So, Eric, January 1, 2027, is a date to keep in mind.

Commission of Inquiry into Violence: Shopkeepers Facing the Risk of Arming Themselves Before the commission of inquiry, retail stakeholders reported that gunsmiths are currently out of stock. This phenomenon is explained by the fear of shopkeepers and residents who, having lost confidence in the State and the police, are seeking to protect themselves. This shift toward a state of lawlessness, where citizens want to take justice into their own hands, is considered particularly worrying. The feeling of insecurity is absolute after suffering successive waves of looting for several days. While some shopkeepers are considering arming themselves legally to maintain their business, others are discussing the use of iron bars for self-defense on WhatsApp threads. These reactions remain a minority for now but testify to desires described as unhealthy. Several speakers warn against the spiral of violence. The risk of a shopkeeper using a weapon against a minor raises fears of a slide into civil war. Some representatives categorically reject this logic of vengeance, asserting that arming themselves makes no sense for the profession. • "We are hearing today about gunsmiths who are out of stock, who are emptied out, because shopkeepers or residents fear for their safety. We have shopkeepers who have lost confidence in the State, in the police, and who are thinking about, or perhaps some have already done so, protecting themselves in one way or another.

OFCE analysis on increasing the minimum wage (Smic) to 1,700 euros net An increase in the minimum wage to 1,700 euros net would represent a rise of 200 euros per month, or approximately 14% to 15%. Such a change implemented all at once would pose problems regarding the knock-on effect on other wages and raises questions about the ability of companies to absorb this cost in a short period. The sectors concerned, such as hospitality, catering, construction, and personal services, are mostly composed of SMEs and micro-businesses with limited room for maneuver. Too significant a boost risks causing wage compression, bringing many salaries closer to the minimum wage level. This mechanism would increase contribution exemptions, creating a budgetary cost for the government in a context of significant budgetary challenges. Adjusting exemption scales and labor costs remains a potential point of discussion with employers' organizations. The challenge is to find the right balance to restore purchasing power while preserving employment. A move that is too abrupt could have negative effects on employment. It is considered important not to overlook wages just above the minimum wage in order to maintain balance without weighing on the state budget. • "No, it would actually cause a lot of problems. Well, in any case, such a significant increase all at once, that would be 200 euros more per month, that's about 15% or 14% increase in the minimum wage.

We say that the government" (Unknown speaker, 00:09) • "So the adjustment, that is to say, how do you evolve the exemption scales?

This situation of powerlessness contrasts with the methods used in the past to put an end to the events of 1968. Georges Pompidou had negotiated twice with the unions to prevent the convergence of two movements with opposing sociologies. At the same time, the authority still held by General de Gaulle had made it possible to stop the escalation. To successfully resolve such a crisis, it is necessary for the government to possess genuine authority. • "There are two things: how one can mend the pieces and how this government can mend the pieces. So, very clearly, despite the terrifying bad faith of all the politicians wandering around on television sets, the government today does not have many means to mend the pieces of society.

Debate between Laurent Wauquiez and Benoît Hamon on immigration and assimilation Benoît Hamon confronts Laurent Wauquiez over his alignment with far-right positions, asserting that he has made immigration a scapegoat. He emphasizes that the daily difficulties faced by the French people, such as the closure of train stations, shops, or schools, as well as medical deserts, are not the responsibility of Moroccan, Senegalese, or Afghan immigrants. He also recalls that figures on the right have adopted theories like the 'great replacement' or are proposing the abolition of the State Medical Aid (AME). Laurent Wauquiez rejects these accusations, denouncing a form of left-wing censorship and McCarthyism aimed at silencing his ideas by labeling them as racist. He asserts that he addresses the subject of immigration because he believes there is a real problem and concern among French people who see their country changing. For him, the main differences with the National Rally (RN) do not lie in immigration but in economic policy. The debate crystallizes around the concept of assimilation. Laurent Wauquiez declares himself in favor of assimilation, which he describes as a beautiful French value and a discourse of the Republic. Conversely, Benoît Hamon associates this term with colonial administration, contesting its status as a republican value. • "The Republic is assimilation. Yes! The French Republic, the one you have betrayed a little, was about assimilation and it was a beautiful French value. But I am responding to your topic.

To restore a sense of the future for coming generations, a program for a break with the old world proposes to initiate the major shifts needed after ten years of Macronism. Within six months, the goal is to put an end to the high cost of living by capping all rents and freezing the prices of energy, fuel, and essential goods. This approach follows in the footsteps of the French Revolution to aim for the common happiness of everyone. This election is presented as the most decisive in several decades. A call is issued to strengthen or create 'insoumis' action groups everywhere in France to ensure the triumph of joy and the hope for a better life in a new Republic. • "10 million people in poverty, hospitals and classrooms closing, the division of the people through violent racism, the accelerating ecological catastrophe, and the fear of generalized war.

This ideology of a 'factory-free France' has turned high-value-added jobs into unemployed people, which is weighing on the economy today. To regain growth, it is considered necessary to rebuild the school system. We must stop training tens or hundreds of thousands of young people each year who lack the basic skills to hold a job. Although the issue of the 600 billion can be addressed more quickly, the rest of the reforms will take a long time. • "Everything takes time, that's why. The problem is that you have to draw a line. So, what can go faster is the 600 billion, but I have no illusions about the ability to reach a consensus, but in any case, it must still be put on the table. Well, and then on the other hand, everything else takes time.

This stability is expected to last until the end of March, offering a reprieve to households following the rise in gas and fuel prices. However, this measure mainly concerns contracts with regulated rates and not variable-price contracts. In the long term, the price per kilowatt-hour has increased by 33% since 2016, rising from 15 to over 20 cents. The average annual bill for a French household has thus gone from 950 euros to 1,120 euros over this period. This increase is explained by the setbacks of the nuclear fleet, notably corrosion problems and maintenance operations, as well as the end of the tariff shield. Prices are expected to continue to rise in the coming years due to the massive investments required. The construction of new nuclear reactors and the development of renewable energies represent hundreds of billions of euros. These costs, including connection to the national grid and taxes which make up a third of the bill, will be passed on to consumers to finance energy sovereignty. • "So, what he actually explained is that every year, on February 1st, you have what is called a review clause, it's a window where we can adjust regulated electricity rates upwards or downwards as we wish. And here, the good news is that the head of EDF said yesterday morning: 'Not only will nothing happen on February 1st, we won't touch anything, but we won't touch anything until the end of winter, so until the end of March'" (Unknown speaker, 00:09) • "So yes, that's what needs to be explained, that yes there have been increases, decreases, or status quo, but overall you will see on the small chart, look, the evolution of electricity over ten years.

He displays his determination to lead a government based on his principles, although he risks depending on the support of Arab political parties for his survival. This prospect draws attacks from the right, with Benjamin Netanyahu claiming that such support would mean the dismantling of the State of Israel from within. Samy Cohen emphasizes that Gadi Eisenkot is popular because he represents an appeasement of political life and a possibility to bring the different clans of society closer together. However, he faces significant political and verbal violence. Regarding security, he must address needs concerning Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran, while maintaining the army's official doctrine, which consists of responding harshly in the event of attacks originating from civilian sites. One of Eisenkot's major challenges will be to lead Israel out of its diplomatic isolation, particularly regarding Europeans and American public opinion. He will also have to manage tensions related to the mandatory conscription of ultra-Orthodox youth and ensure that settlers respect Israeli and international law, thus distinguishing himself from the positions of the far right. • "His goal is to form, he said it when he received the official mandate from the President of the State, it is to form a majority with these political parties that had supported the coalition" (Samy Cohen, 01:43) • "He is popular because he represents an appeasement of political life in Israel, perhaps the possibility of bringing the different clans of Israeli society closer together.

Regarding innovation, while competitors like BYD are announcing 5-minute charging by 2027, Renault says it is capable of matching them technically.

This strategy includes increasing the minimum wage (SMIC) to €1,700 net, a 15% increase, in order to drive up wages across the board. The stated goal is also to reach a 32-hour work week, particularly for arduous jobs involving heavy lifting. Economically, the program includes a reform of corporate tax with the creation of 14 brackets for greater progressivity. An equalization fund is being considered to establish inter-company solidarity: structures with a turnover of more than €750 million would contribute to financing salary increases in smaller companies. The figures presented for the first year project €106 billion in revenue against €80 billion in expenditure, creating a surplus to reduce debt. The campaign is supported by an expanded program available in bookstores and militant tools such as the 'victory notebook' (carnet de la victoire). Despite the success of a recent rally at Le Bourget that brought together more than 10,000 people, campaign visuals are not yet final, notably to comply with rules prohibiting the use of national colors on election posters. • "The main proposal, which is what Jean-Luc Mélenchon detailed in his speech, is a state of social emergency, because it seems to us that the disconnect between the objectives and capabilities of the government—between what was made available to the State to create a security state of emergency and the priority of the French people, namely living well—is absolutely enormous" (Speaker 5, 05:17) • "Increase the SMIC to €1,700 net.

Monetary policy played a life-saving role during the subprime crisis and the pandemic. Although an excess of money can generate inflation, an insufficiency during a recession risks plunging the economy.

For a very long time, France was right, and was right against its European partners in terms of defense, in terms of nuclear sovereignty. It was right.

Since cigarettes are an addiction that leads to a loss of control, making consumers feel guilty could reinforce their addiction instead of helping them. An approach based on education is considered preferable. While banning smoking in enclosed public places, parks, or near schools is considered consistent, maintaining the freedom to smoke in the street is defended. The challenge is not to get the debate wrong by targeting outdoor spaces like the street. • "I think we are getting the debate a bit wrong because, in fact, we must remember that cigarettes are an addiction. And, in fact, we are currently pitting smokers against non-smokers when, deep down, well, in fact, one loses control in the face of tobacco. And if we start making smokers feel guilty, well, often they will reinforce their addiction even more. So, I think it is important to put much more education into this discourse" (Unknown speaker, 00:00) • "Makes complete sense, complete sense.

Access for humanitarian actors remains generally impossible despite ongoing negotiations. Populations cannot leave, and basic necessities, such as food, cannot enter this high-risk zone. Yemen is one of the countries most affected by malnutrition and food insecurity, reaching IPC 4 and 5 classifications. The country is also facing a measles epidemic with an extremely low vaccination rate. Meanwhile, the number of displaced persons stands at 5.2 million according to the UN, with 300,000 newly displaced people at the beginning of November. International aid has been drastically reduced, with an estimated loss of 50% in a few years. This budget cut affects not only American donors like USAID, but also French and European actors. This lack of funding weakens the emergency response while the conflict is described as a "forgotten conflict" by most actors. Speakers emphasize that the destabilization of the region has national and international economic consequences. The role of impartial humanitarian actors is to maintain dialogue to ensure stable humanitarian corridors, particularly in Taiz, while denouncing the violations of law that fuel successive crises. • "Currently, there are negotiations underway, but access remains generally impossible for all humanitarian actors" (Speaker 1, 01:33) • "Currently, there are populations around Taiz and in the governorate who have been able to flee, we are talking about 300,000 people, but there are still 800,000 people trapped in this city" (Speaker 1, 00:59) • "The drop in international aid has particularly hit Yemen, with a loss of aid in a few years estimated at around 50%" (Speaker 1, 04:34) • "Yemen is unfortunately known for being one of the countries most affected by malnutrition and instability in food access.

This situation is considered catastrophic in the Opéra, République, and Bastille districts, while remaining largely ignored by the Paris City Hall. He also points out that the protection of municipal buildings, such as the City Hall, unduly mobilizes the police prefecture and the BRAV-M. According to him, this mobilization prevents these units from intervening elsewhere, allowing, for example, protesters to invade the Galeries Lafayette. He advocates for a strong municipal police force to relieve the national police in peripheral areas. • "We are experiencing a redundancy plan for merchants in Paris, quite simply, because revenue in Paris has collapsed. And especially in the Opéra, République, and Bastille districts, it's a catastrophe, and by the way, it interests almost no one since no one talks about it, at least at Paris City Hall, very, very little in any case. But what I would like to say to my colleague in the police is that the best way to help the national police is still to have a municipal police force that is very strong and that takes care of the peripheral areas. We are not asking it to maintain public order, but we are asking it to relieve the national police on other points" (Speaker 1, 00:00) • "Because while the BRAV-M is busy protecting the Paris City Hall, well, the BRAV-M is not doing anything else. And we are invaded, and that is how we let protesters invade the Galeries Lafayette, for example" (Speaker 1, 00:32) • "It's not normal, is it, that it is the police prefecture that ensures the protection of municipal buildings and that it is the BRAV-M that does it" (Speaker 1, 00:00) https://www.youtube.com/embed/UvYGiPQeteU 46 2026-11-08 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/V8Rs4B9prd4 2026-11-08 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/V8Rs4B9prd4/hqdefault.jpg Jean-Marc Jancovici : "L'économie européenne est déjà en décroissance" Jean-Marc Jancovici on the physical degrowth of the European economy since 2007 **Physical reality versus conventions** "The European economy has already been in degrowth for 15 years.

She reports having received explicit death threats, with an interlocutor using a modified voice claiming they wanted to slit her throat. These threats also target her parents and her brother, whose first names and addresses were cited by the aggressors. This situation stems from a massive doxing campaign where her personal data, including her social security number and her family's contact information, are circulating on social media and private messaging groups such as Telegram or Discord. The origin of these leaks is believed to be a data breach at the operator Free, supplemented by far-left activists from Le Poing Levé Bordeaux. The speaker links the beginning of these attacks to publications she deems defamatory emanating from members of La France Insoumise and the Union Étudiante. She notably cites a former municipal candidate in Bordeaux, Mr. Reymon, as well as personalities from Radio Nova and Twitch, who allegedly labeled her a neo-Nazi or a fascist. According to her, these talking points are systematically repeated by the harassers during their calls. Faced with this situation, Louise Montangon has filed a complaint. She expresses deep concern for her family's safety, stating that she has had to request nighttime police patrols to protect her mother.

This situation suggests an extremely difficult winter ahead. Financially, Zelensky's requests amount to 175 billion euros or dollars by 2027, a sum that neither Europe nor France possesses.

He specifically proposes freezing fuel prices at €1.70 for diesel and gasoline by requiring Total to stop making a profit in France for a given period. To implement these decisions quickly, the plan provides for expanding the government's powers to act by decree. These measures would be taken under the supervision of the National Assembly, to which the government would have to be held accountable. Parliament would intervene to analyze these measures a few months after their implementation. • "When you are in a situation of social hardship, of economic difficulties, for example, such as the one we are experiencing today, where you have fuel prices that have exploded, gas prices, energy prices that are increasing, food prices that are increasing, you must be able to take immediate measures.

The hospitality sector is also recording a drop in bookings of around 20% to 30%. This situation is attributed to repeated protests that hinder the right to conduct business, hide shops behind wooden boards, and create a climate of fear that drives away customers and tourists. Faced with this situation, professionals are calling for the creation of a compensation fund for establishments that have lost turnover, rather than just for those that have suffered physical damage. They are warning of the risk of bankruptcy, at a time when the country already has around 80,000. The 50,000-euro BPI loan is considered inadequate because it must be repaid. Opening businesses on Sundays is seen as a false solution. This measure would force small shopkeepers to pay their employees double, even though many already have the option to open on that day. Sector representatives are instead calling for an end to the protests and a better geographical distribution of routes so as not to systematically sacrifice the same neighborhoods. • "And what we are asking for is a compensation fund for establishments that have lost turnover" (Unknown speaker, 13:05) • "So we are asking for this compensation fund, because otherwise, I tell you, there will be bankruptcies.

At this age, cognitive development is limited: the child is just beginning to acquire fundamental knowledge, restrain their impulses, and focus their attention. Rational thinking is only in its early stages, generally developing between the ages of 7 and 11. The child's thinking is exclusively concrete and literal at this stage, based on what they have personally experienced. They possess no capacity to grasp the mental state of others or to conceptualize complex situations. Consequently, asking for the opinion of an eight-year-old on subjects that require detachment and elaborate analysis makes no sense. The speaker also warns against hate messages that could target the child or their father following such media exposure. • "So it makes absolutely no sense to ask an eight-year-old child what they think about things that obviously require, first of all, a much more elaborate cognitive development, having a capacity for conceptualization and detachment from the facts" (Unknown speaker, 01:13) • "From the point of view of their stage of cognitive development, they are barely at the acquisition of fundamental knowledge. They are just learning to restrain their impulses and to orient, to focus their attention. And above all, a very, very important element is that while rational thinking is beginning to take hold, it is only at the beginning, since it will develop between 7 and 11 years old, and that in fact, this child's thinking is an exclusively concrete thinking that can only relate to a very literal approach to facts, that is to say, things they have experienced themselves. They have no capacity to grasp an analysis, if you will, of someone else's mental state" (Unknown speaker, 00:33) • "That is indeed the risk when analyzing this kind of situation, that hate messages are effectively sent https://www.youtube.com/embed/YhUIDHdn6_o 92 2026-11-08 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/ZbRstYFLLoA 2026-11-08 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ZbRstYFLLoA/hqdefault.jpg Découvrez Gally, l’écoquartier innovant qui transforme les portes de Versailles ! Presentation of Gally, the innovative garden city eco-district in Versailles The Gally eco-district, presented by the Mayor of Versailles, François de Mazières, transforms a former 20-hectare military wasteland sold by the Ministry of Defense into an innovative garden city. More than half of the site is dedicated to nature and landscapes, with a preserved agricultural zone occupying 50% of the total area. The project is designed in continuity with the park of the Palace of Versailles, featuring low-rise buildings to respect historical perspectives. The architecture prioritizes natural materials and low-carbon construction methods, using stone, wood, and load-bearing brick. The neighborhood integrates a mix of housing, including 30% social housing, by adopting a land-efficient row-housing model. Specific structures, such as a wooden Huttopia hotel and the preservation of millstone buildings, reinforce the site's identity. The project places biodiversity and social connection at its core, with work conducted by ecologists for amphibian habitats and the creation of spaces that foster a connection to the land. This approach aims to maintain an aesthetic ambition for the city while addressing contemporary environmental challenges, thus avoiding the proliferation of uniform buildings. • "François de Mazières, who is the mayor of Versailles and who is going to present to us an eco-district, or rather an innovative garden city that has emerged on the outskirts of Versailles" (Speaker 3, 00:08) • "So it's a fairly large site, about 20 hectares, and more than half of the site is dedicated solely to landscapes, to nature, to spaces where there is permeability, where water infiltrates" (Speaker 7, 10:38) • "So I negotiated with them and I said to them: 'Listen, what I propose to you is that half of the area be preserved as an agricultural zone, which is the greatest protection one can imagine'" (Speaker 2, 07:22) • "So, there is 30% social housing.

In this context, Elon Musk achieved a record-breaking $75 billion launch for his space-based data center projects, driven by an orchestrated communication campaign and a fear of missing out (FOMO). At the same time, some narratives encourage employees to become shareholders in their companies to bridge the gap between these two statuses. The French economic situation is analyzed through the lens of debt and purchasing power. France borrows to finance social benefits such as pensions, unemployment, healthcare, and housing. The average purchasing power of a retiree is now higher than that of an active worker, whereas it now takes a century to double one's purchasing power, compared to only 16 years during the 1960s. On the industrial and environmental front, new regulations prohibit large European companies from destroying their unsold clothing, accessories, and footwear. The program also highlights the 51 billion euro trade deficit over 12 months with China, while showcasing the journeys of entrepreneurs in the dried fruit sector and the development of new companies like Oukia. • "Thus, it takes a century today to double one's purchasing power; one only had to wait 16 years in the 60s.

This meeting comes as hundreds of thousands of French people are demanding an increase in purchasing power. The government is considering an exceptional boost to the Smic, going beyond the simple anticipation of the revaluation scheduled for January 1st. A symbolic threshold of €1,500 net is being discussed, which would represent an increase of approximately 1.6%. While some unions are calling for an increase to €1,700 net, this measure could destroy more than 230,000 jobs. Employers indicate that if the government gives in on the Smic, they expect gestures in return regarding employer contributions. This increase directly concerns companies and the State, which employs nearly 900,000 civil servants paid at the Smic level. Although France is in the high range in Europe, it remains the major European economy with the highest number of employees paid at the Smic compared to Germany or the Netherlands. • "From now on, we are being told about a response that would be much more ambitious because it would not just be anticipating what was planned for January 1st, it would be an exceptional boost to the Smic" (Unknown speaker, 01:17) • "A threshold was needed, a kind of symbolic figure was needed, the €1,500 net mark, which will a priori correspond to an increase of about 1.6%" (Unknown speaker, 00:41) • "Tomorrow, Sébastien Lecornu is bringing together unions and employers at Matignon, a social conference in the face of hundreds of thousands of French people in the streets who are demanding an increase in purchasing power" (Unknown speaker, 00:01) • "It is partly for companies that this is detrimental, this increase in the Smic, it is they who bear this increase in the Smic, and the State too, because I remind you that there are nearly 900,000 civil servants today who are paid at the Smic level" (Unknown speaker, 02:59) • "If we increased, https://www.youtube.com/embed/avkSvFd3p3c 481 2026-11-08 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/aydnNinB5VY 2026-11-08 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/aydnNinB5VY/hqdefault.jpg Le Grand Jury de Jean-Noël Barrot | intégrale The Grand Jury with Jean-Noël Barrot | Full Episode **European Security and Guarantees for Ukraine** "The United States has been warning us Europeans to take charge of ourselves for a long time.

This situation evokes a scent of McCarthyism and recalls the feeling of hatred among the French described by Raymond Aron in the 1930s. The current downward spiral requires a pause to avoid further degradation of the state of society. The education system is criticized for its pedagogical approach and a form of manipulation of the youth, who are no longer given benchmarks or the capacity for critical judgment. The transition from 20% to 80% of high school graduates is presented as a great lie. Furthermore, the presence of influencers at Matignon or Place Beauvau illustrates an unease in public debate, where microphones are now extended to 8-year-olds to comment on current events. Economically, growth is hampered by the mindset of an unhappy society. Investment is identified as the sole variable for generating the future income necessary to pay for debt service. France is currently borrowing to repay, a consequence of decades of economic policy blunders. A brutal reduction in business subsidies is deemed impossible, while adaptation to the transition requires massive investments. • "She condones police violence and she condones the slippage of language in public and political life.

This initiative is clashing with significant polarity between Kinshasa, which excludes any dialogue with the Kabila camp, and the former president himself. The government is exerting pressure on the C64, notably through threats of prosecution or dissolution, to prevent Joseph Kabila's return to the internal dialogue dynamic. Joseph Kabila has taken the lead of the FRN to, in his words, save the country from tyranny. He is thus becoming an unavoidable political or military actor once again. At the same time, Kinshasa seems to be moving toward a change of the constitution rather than a simple revision, while the implementation of the protocols and the roadmap proposed by the Churches is facing significant delays. Regarding internal politics, 104 political parties are threatened with disappearance due to the lack of a decision from the Minister of the Interior on their compliance. The bloc of five is denouncing an insidious restoration of a one-party system to the Economic Community of Central African States.

Sud Radio: Lyon as a historic stronghold of social protest Lyon is part of an old tradition of protest, historically marked by the insurrection against Paris during the French Revolution and the Canut revolts. More recently, the city has been the scene of violent incidents, notably the arson of the tourist office on October 17 and attacks against law enforcement. Sociologist Michel Maffesoli analyzes these events as a sign of the end of an era where the people no longer recognize themselves in their elites. According to him, the current uprisings reflect a deep disaffection with politics, illustrated by the low satisfaction rate of the President of the Republic. The situation in Lyon is also marked by tensions between far-right and far-left groups, as well as persistent insecurity in certain neighborhoods and suburbs such as Villeurbanne, Vaulx-en-Velin, or Vénissieux. This stormy atmosphere echoes the song of the Canuts, which already predicted the weaving of the shroud of the old world. • "And currently, all the uprisings, and Lyon is simply a good expression of this, point to the fact that the people no longer recognize themselves in their elites. That is what is at stake, you see? And we do not analyze this end of a civilization enough. We see the concrete aspects of it, etc. But no, it is the end of an era that is in gestation and let's keep this word, it is the people who are rising up in a certain way" (Unknown speaker, 02:16) • "But for my part, if you will, I have been trying to say it for many years, there is an uprising against the elites, globally. That's it. It's that we are witnessing, and in France we have trouble analyzing it, the end of an era. Modernity is coming to an end. There, it lasted three centuries and we are in an intermediate period before another era manifests itself" (Unknown speaker, 01:52) • "We wanted to understand the situation a little bit because three events in recent weeks in Lyon: the head of the local public security service violently confronted, the door of a school in https://www.youtube.com/embed/gpfiV_h1tLU 296 2026-11-08 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/hCG1xZ_6Qyk 2026-11-08 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/hCG1xZ_6Qyk/hqdefault.jpg Highlights from Pope Leo XIV’s Second Day in Montevideo - Paysandú, Uruguay Highlights from Pope Leo XIV’s Second Day in Montevideo - Paysandú, Uruguay https://www.youtube.com/embed/hCG1xZ_6Qyk 77 2026-11-08 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/hCfaD5KoG6g 2026-11-08 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/hCfaD5KoG6g/hqdefault.jpg Budget 2026 : Roland Lescure et David Amiel auditionnés à l'Assemblée nationale - 4/11/2026 Hearing of Roland Lescure and David Amiel on the 2026 end-of-year finance bill **Objectives and deficit forecasts** "We welcome Roland Lescure, Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial, Energy and Digital Sovereignty, and Mr. David Amiel, Minister of Public Action and Accounts, who will present the end-of-year finance bill for the year 2026" — Mr. Éric Coquerel "We must collectively find the ways and means to adopt a budget that consolidates public finances with a target of 5% next year" — Mr. Roland Lescure "We are therefore at 2, sorry at 5.4% deficit forecast for 2026.

Social conference and the issue of a 1,700 euro net minimum wage At the opening of a social conference announced by Sébastien Lecornu, the issue of the minimum wage (Smic) appears to be the main expected measure. The government has few means to intervene directly in wage dynamics, other than the minimum wage, the activity bonus, or occasional boosts. A few months before a presidential election, the room for maneuver remains limited. A request for a 200 euro net increase has been made to raise the minimum wage to 1,700 euros net. Such an increase, representing about 14% or 15% at once, would pose problems. It would generate a significant budgetary cost for the government in a context of marked budgetary issues. Finally, the effect of a minimum wage increase on other salaries is limited. If the minimum wage increases by 1% or 2%, higher salaries do not follow the same progression. The latter depend on wage negotiations within companies, with no obligation to pass on the minimum wage increase. • "The main measure that is expected, we see we talk about it a lot, is the question of the minimum wage. It must also be remembered that, ultimately, the government does not have that many ways to intervene directly in wage dynamics, other than the minimum wage" (Unknown speaker, 00:39) • "I am asking for a 200 euro net increase, that is to say, moving to 1,700 net for the minimum wage" (Speaker 2, 03:51) • "No, that would actually pose a lot of problems, well in any case such a significant increase at once, that would raise it, well, 200 euros more per month, that's about a 15% or 14% increase in the minimum wage" (Unknown speaker, 04:06) • "So there is also a budgetary cost for the government at a time when we still have significant budgetary issues" (Unknown speaker, 04:41) • "The real answer is still global and somewhat general, and that is why there are not that many immediate measures that can have an effect on purchasing power, other than playing with the activity bonus or boosts to the minimum wage" (Unknown speaker, https://www.youtube.com/embed/ikxRDCB1hFQ 361 2026-11-08 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/izFaEBMcEgw 2026-11-08 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/izFaEBMcEgw/hqdefault.jpg "Jean-Luc Mélenchon s'est fait le porte-parole du Kremlin" Jean-Noël Barrot criticizes Jean-Luc Mélenchon over Ukraine on RTL's Grand Jury Jean-Noël Barrot accuses Jean-Luc Mélenchon of acting as a spokesperson for the Kremlin by relaying Vladimir Putin's justification for the war of aggression in Ukraine. According to the minister, the Kremlin is trying to convince the world that the Donbas is Russian and that the invasion is a war of liberation, a position he deems to be of unprecedented gravity. The minister recalls that 35 years ago, at the time of its independence, Ukraine voted for its sovereignty in all its regions. In the Donbas and Crimea, the inhabitants, despite sometimes speaking Russian, affirmed by an overwhelming majority their desire to be Ukrainian and independent. This questioning of Ukrainian independence by Jean-Luc Mélenchon is described as extremely serious. Jean-Noël Barrot believes that this logic, which would allow a country to claim border territories on the pretext that the populations there speak the same language, would lead the world into a permanent war of all against all. • "And amidst the applause, and perhaps in the way it happened, in the middle of a paragraph on the international situation, he simply acted as a spokesperson for the Kremlin. All over the world, the Kremlin is trying to convince heads of state and government that, deep down, the Donbas is Russian and that the war of aggression is a war of liberation for the Donbas, which is obviously of unprecedented gravity and which, in my opinion, definitively disqualifies him from exercising the functions to which he aspires, for two main reasons.

Faced with this situation, an immediately reactive justice system is expected, with very strong sanctions. Georges Fenech criticizes the trivialization of the facts and opposes short fifteen-day prison sentences, believing that the acts suffered are worth more than that. He laments that the case has been postponed until May 2027, describing this delay as a lack of response from the judicial institution. • "I am not in favor of a short sentence, you know. This is about ruining someone's life, a young woman's life, terrorizing her; that is worth more than fifteen days in prison. Fifteen days in prison, what is that?" (Unknown speaker, 00:20) • "No, I hear what you are saying. But let's stop trivializing. We cannot trivialize what is happening. This truly deserves, and I do not understand why it is being pushed back to the Greek calends in May 2027. There will have been presidential elections in the meantime, by the way" (Mr. FENECH Georges, 00:33) • "No, it is simply a lack of response" (Mr. FENECH Georges, 00:46) • "No, I think that everyone watching us right now must have been extremely shocked by the testimony we just heard. We all are on the set. I was completely unaware of how real the nightmare was. What are we waiting for?

It is extremely difficult, with the rise in fuel prices for example, and inflation, to live with dignity on such low wage levels" — Fabienne Rouchy "The difficulty lies with those who are above, often just above, and in fact they are being caught up by the SMIC; they truly, and rightly so, don't just feel like they are being caught up, they are being caught up and they see their purchasing power decline" — Nicolas Senèze "Executives have lost purchasing power since 2015, meaning that if they earned the equivalent of €100 in 2015, they earn the equivalent of €96 if you take into account inflation and the evolution of their salary" — Nicolas Senèze "France is a rich country, it is the second-largest economy in the European Union.

He lamented having to analyze 150 pages of accounting in half a day while simultaneously sitting in committee, all within the context of a budget crisis. According to him, this situation prevents MPs and ministers from effectively overseeing public spending, which is the very essence of democracy. In response, it was clarified that today's hearing corresponds to the presentation of the text, with the actual examination not beginning until next Monday. The deadlines are justified by an extremely tight schedule, including the time required for the High Council of Public Finance to issue its opinion. It was noted that the date of the hearings is set by the Finance Committee bureau. The committee chair acknowledged that working conditions are not optimal and that deadlines are compressed, including for the High Council of Public Finance. Improving procedures is deemed necessary for the future. • "So we have to read this, there you go, this morning, okay? We have to read this this morning.

He warns against such a decision, asserting that it would lead to catastrophe given the current state of the bond markets. He compares this situation to the desire to raise rates at the beginning of the subprime crisis, describing these choices as major errors for the economy, particularly in the current context. • "When Christine Lagarde hints—now I don't know what the reality is, I haven't asked her the question—but she says we held a monetary policy committee meeting to reflect on whether or not we were going to raise interest rates because inflation has increased a little.

Despite a recent massacre that caused 9 deaths and about 15 injuries, crimes committed with firearms remain extremely rare in the country. However, a notable trend is observed with a 200% increase in registration applications for firearm possession permits between the years 2000 and 2024. This shift could be explained by the international situation or by the activity of international organized crime in Central Europe, although the exact causes of this rise in weapons are not formally established. • "Yes, so first of all, it's a massacre, 9 dead, 15 or 16 injured. And then indeed, the rate of gun crime in Poland is one of the lowest in Europe, it is much lower than in most other European countries, with one peculiarity nonetheless: since 2000, between 2000 and 2024, the number of registration applications to obtain a firearm possession permit has increased by 200%. So, we feel that there is a shift, that there is something. Is it the international situation? Is it international organized crime which is still relatively active in Central Europe" (Unknown speaker, 00:00) • "We don't really know what justifies this, but there is an increase in weapons.

The goal is to convince people based on a platform that has already been printed in 130,000 copies, rather than seeking to be personally liked. The deputy reminds us that the presidential election is not a "beauty contest" and that it is not about marrying the candidate, but about choosing a project. The strategy for winning power is based on conviction regarding key proposals such as retirement at 60, increasing the minimum wage (SMIC) to €1,700, and transitioning to the 6th Republic. Antoine Léaument emphasizes that this platform has already served as the basis for the NUPES alliances in 2022 and the New Popular Front in 2024. • "He is not talking about himself, he is talking about our platform. He says: 'I am not going to water down my measures.' And what is our strategy? It is to try to convince people based on these measures, based on this platform. To exercise and implement this platform, people must be convinced; we cannot do it any other way" (Unknown speaker, 00:25) • "But we have already negotiated a lot with our potential allies when we formed the NUPES in 2022 and the New Popular Front in 2024. It is our platform that served as the basis. We have a strategy for winning power that is a strategy of conviction.

He also proposes the creation of a state-guaranteed job program for the long-term unemployed in essential sectors. Regarding fiscal policy, the LFI deputy advocates for a progressive corporate tax and the implementation of an equalization fund so that large corporations pay more than SMEs and micro-businesses. He criticizes subsidies granted without ecological or social conditions and describes recent government handouts as "crumbs" compared to the billions distributed to the wealthiest. Concerning political strategy, Antoine Léaument reaffirms the stability of Jean-Luc Mélenchon and his program, which has been printed in 130,000 copies. He calls on voters to convince those around them and to check their registration on electoral rolls, while expressing the ambition to replace the current government to govern better. • "Furthermore, I say it, but when you increase the minimum wage, it causes a general increase in wages for a simple reason, which is that people who are currently at the minimum wage and between the current minimum wage and the €1,700 minimum wage, they ask for salary increases" (Mr. Antoine Léaument, 02:32) • "Exactly, and that is precisely the reason why, contrary to what has been done until now, we want to make corporate tax progressive" (Mr. Antoine Léaument, 03:25) • "The job guarantee is the idea that people who have been unemployed for a long time, for that matter, can have a job guaranteed by the State in sectors that are essential economic activity sectors for our country" (Mr. Antoine Léaument, 02:01) • "And I thank Jean-Luc Mélenchon for being a person who has not wavered one iota since I joined him, because, fundamentally, he continues to defend the same proposals as at https://www.youtube.com/embed/qDiVCqb3tG0 997 2026-11-08 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/rMR-m5bvuOw 2026-11-08 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/rMR-m5bvuOw/hqdefault.jpg Laurent Wauquiez : “On veut un candidat unique avant Noël” Laurent Wauquiez calls for a single right-wing candidate before Christmas Laurent Wauquiez denounces a 'slaughter' within the right, where candidates attack each other without offering a clear vision to the French people, while Marine Le Pen and Jean-Luc Mélenchon are already campaigning.

The upcoming elections must provide strong indications, beyond the current forecasts of polling institutes. Regarding La France Insoumise, one must remain vigilant against Mélenchon's strategy, which aims for bunkerization. He must be fought politically on the substance, as demonization seems to satisfy him and serves his objectives. • "Because I think that in a democracy, the voice is not in the street. The voice is first and foremost in the ballot box. The street is a means of expression, of a power struggle at a given moment, etc. But in the final analysis, the voice is in the ballot box. And we have elections coming up, and I truly think that the result of the elections, which some may want to disrupt, must provide very strong indications" (Unknown speaker, 00:00) • "Not necessarily what the polling institutes think today, because things often happen after, well, after results are given. There you go. So then, regarding La France Insoumise, I consider that we must be careful because the strategy of demonization that Mélenchon is putting in place also has a goal: bunkerization. There you go. And that is why he must be fought politically, effectively, not necessarily just by demonizing him because the more you demonize him, the happier he is, but by attacking him on the substance" (Unknown speaker, 00:19) https://www.youtube.com/embed/to_R3oZ_xrw 55 2026-11-08 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/v-_rtAcDWKY 2026-11-08 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/v-_rtAcDWKY/hqdefault.jpg Emma Rafowicz à propos de Jean-Luc Mélenchon : "Ce personnage démago, mégalo, n'est pas la solution" Emma Rafowicz on Jean-Luc Mélenchon: "This demagogic, megalomaniacal character is not the solution" **Two lefts and the disqualification of Jean-Luc Mélenchon** "So, there were statements this morning saying that Jean-Luc Mélenchon's political stature was so impressive, but I would say that this week, we saw two lefts" — Unknown speaker "I do not believe that, ultimately, this character who is both megalomaniacal and demagogic is the answer" — Unknown speaker "However, yes, I believe that he has ultimately disqualified himself several times from what could be the united left.

The government has triggered the accelerated procedure to allow the text to be examined in the National Assembly despite a busy agenda. The elected official asserts that she will not let this text become a hostage to political debates. The mechanism will allow victims to ask the justice system to understand the decisions made and the sequence of past events.

In the event of judicial, professional, or investigative secrecy, a specific magistrate may be appointed to meet with their peers who handled the perpetrators' files in order to transmit the necessary information to the victim. • "There you go, it is really very complete, but they will find the time to register it at the National Assembly and that I...

To support merchants as the holiday season approaches, several prefectures, notably in Marseille and Lyon, are authorizing stores to open for three additional Sundays before Christmas. In Marseille, this measure aims to compensate for economic losses. In certain Parisian districts, department stores and retail food shops can also open for up to three consecutive Sundays. Some customers are already calling to check if shops are open. However, Sunday opening poses financial challenges. One business owner points out that revenue does not always follow and is calling for more frequent public transport, free parking, and tax exemptions for overtime hours. In Lyon, some merchants believe that opening would be too expensive, as Sunday work is based on volunteering, is paid double, and requires a day of compensatory rest. • "Barricaded stores, others still closed after the acts of vandalism on October 17.

Rodwell : «Je suis convaincu que nous pouvons battre les populistes en allant sur leur terrain» Charles Rodwell on CNEWS: defeating populism on sovereign and migration issues Charles Rodwell asserts that populism wins when republican and moderate forces abandon legitimate battles. He advocates for reclaiming sovereign and migration issues so as not to leave them to the far-left and the far-right. According to him, the parallel with Donald Trump shows that populism can be defeated by engaging on their own ground with concrete and moderate proposals. The deputy argues that populism gains power by lying to the people, citing the proposals of Jean-Luc Mélenchon and La France Insoumise. He specifically mentions promises regarding the return of retirement at age 60 and the authorization of 16 days of leave to visit a friend. He believes these lessons also apply to the Rassemblement National. Facing criticism regarding a possible confusion of political lines with Marine Le Pen, Charles Rodwell maintains that there are real economic and social parallels between the extremes. He says he is worried for France and convinced that republican responses that meet the expectations of the French people are the key to prevailing against populist movements. • "I am convinced, and elections, election after election around the world and in the West show it, that we can defeat populism if we go onto their ground with concrete, moderate, republican proposals that meet the expectations of the French people" (Unknown speaker, 01:13) • "Oh well, of course.

Bock-Côté : «Tout l'imaginaire de la gauche est fécondé par cet appel à la violence nécessaire» Mathieu Bock-Côté's analysis on CNEWS: the imagery of necessary violence Throughout history, the notion of necessary violence has existed through events such as the French Revolution, American independence, or the 1916 insurrection in Ireland. Mathieu Bock-Côté points out that the French Revolution culminated in the beheading of a king and that some, even today, celebrate the king's death as a day of joy. The political imagery of the left is fertilized by this call for necessary violence. Figures like Robespierre, Trotsky, or Che Guevara are cited as references for headsmen or executioners. According to this analysis, if society does not yield to demands, it can be challenged through violence, making LFI an almost consistent party from this point of view. Faced with riots, looting, and attacks against shopkeepers or police officers, the question arises as to what a society does to defend itself. Mathieu Bock-Côté questions the legitimacy of an insurrection in the current situation and asks what drives some to want to behead Macron today. • "And when you talk about Che Guevara, because we talk about him from time to time, he was still a man who executed people generously. So the fact is that the entire political imagery of the left is fertilized by this call for necessary violence. So globally, if society does not yield to our demands, there may come a moment when we decide to challenge it through violence. LFI, from this point of view, is an almost consistent party" (Unknown speaker, 02:32) • "So the question we must ask Mr. Kassovitz, because you had the generosity to place me in an imaginary debate with him, I would say: 'What is it in the current situation that makes this necessary violence necessary?

Éric Lombard describes the interest burden, which will reach 100 billion euros in two years, as total madness, as well as the level of public spending representing 57% of GDP. Sarah Knafo denounces a country where citizens are the most heavily taxed in the world despite saturated public services. To reduce spending, Sarah Knafo proposes eliminating official development assistance and reserving non-contributory social benefits for French citizens. She criticizes the burden of bureaucracy that weighs on civil servants. For his part, Éric Lombard acknowledges that local authorities have hired too many people but believes that a reduction in public spending is neither necessary nor realistic, favoring maintaining it in volume. The debate also focuses on the future of pensions. Sarah Knafo advocates switching to a capitalization system to move away from a pay-as-you-go system that she deems ruinous.

In the midst of a shortage of access to care, a decree will limit the share of aesthetic medicine—a sector that has grown by 64% since 2018—to 30% of doctors' working time. So, do the affected healthcare professionals appreciate this new regulation, this brake on their activity? Not really.

Dermatologists will also be affected" — Unknown speaker **Imbalance between general medicine and aesthetic procedures** "With much better-paid consultations, aesthetics accounts for more than 70% of his turnover, compared to 30% for general medicine. If the government limits this activity, the practitioner is categorical: he will close his doors" — Unknown speaker "But if the government wants to limit these practices, it is because there are sometimes abuses.

Lessons from the American Democratic victory for the French left on France Inter **Campaign unity and strategy** "We saw that the American Democrats started with relative nuances between the left wing of an Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan and the much more moderate wing of a James Talarico in Texas. But they still started united in this campaign and for this victory. Are there lessons to be learned for the French left?" — Unknown speaker "But what is certain is that the French are not happy, and so that is the debate that will arise. And then the second thing you said is that what effectively explains the Democratic success was their excellent campaign, their ability to silence their differences, to focus on everyday issues that interested—or rather, that they thought really interested—the Americans, and then to bring forward new faces. And that alternative offer, in France, well, for now, we don't see it" — Unknown speaker **Refocusing on economic and social issues** "I'm not sure. I'm not sure it's a question of unity, as you mentioned earlier, because, for that matter, there is really the specificity of the American two-party system and we are in a situation that is very different. On the other hand, beyond the diversity of the Democrats' positions that you also mentioned, there is a common point that seems interesting to me and, for that matter, could be interesting for France too: they all refocused their campaign on economic and social issues compared to the social issues that dominated the Democrats' campaigns in previous campaigns" — Unknown speaker **Limits of the comparison with France** "The first lesson to be learned from this is to be very careful about the fact—we've already said it a bit—that the situations are not at all similar.

Housing crisis: the government's priorities for a simplification shock France is going through a housing crisis described as unacceptable by Vincent Jeanbrun, who defines himself as the minister for this crisis. The situation is marked by a significant number of poorly housed people and a loss of real estate purchasing power of 12 square meters since 2020, which is equivalent to one less bedroom for households. To address this, the government is announcing a new budgetary and legislative policy focused on a simplification shock for the standards and procedures that "drive people crazy." This strategy also relies on a shock of confidence in local elected officials for the management of social housing and on tax incentives to revive investment by French people. Regarding energy renovation, the minister defends maintaining MaPrimeRénov', despite malfunctions, emphasizing that these 3 billion euros subsidize modest households and artisans. At the same time, the sector must embrace the artificial intelligence revolution to simplify tasks and avoid the risk of certain proptech players disappearing. Finally, new financing levers are mentioned, such as life annuities or the possibility of inheriting from oneself via a mortgage. On the family front, the budget plans to extend the zero-interest loan and create a parental zero-interest loan to allow families to expand when a child is born. • "I am less the minister of housing than the minister of the housing crisis because it is here, this housing crisis is tough" (Mr. Vincent Jeanbrun, 18:34) • "With the Prime Minister, we have basically announced a new policy through France's budget which is currently under debate, through a bill that will be examined before the end of the month at the National Assembly" (Mr. Vincent Jeanbrun, 03:38) • "A simplification shock: my God, in this country, we are dying under standards and procedures, moreover, because ultimately, a standard can protect, but it is how we apply the standard that, in general, drives people crazy" (Mr. Vincent https://www.youtube.com/embed/0G8fU6QWiAg 2538 2026-11-07 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/0l8WOPuHkKY 2026-11-07 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/0l8WOPuHkKY/hqdefault.jpg Jean-Luc Mélenchon : "Battre Marine Le Pen n'est pas hors de portée" Launch of La France Insoumise's 2027 presidential campaign in Le Bourget Jean-Luc Mélenchon and speakers from La France Insoumise are launching their 2027 campaign by presenting an updated version of the 'L'Avenir en commun' (A Future in Common) platform. Facing what they describe as a global crisis of civilization and the legacy of ten years of Macronist liberal revolution, they propose creating a state of social emergency. Immediate measures include price freezes, increasing the minimum wage (SMIC), indexing wages to inflation, and transitioning to 100% Social Security coverage with the restoration of Social Security elections. On the institutional and democratic front, the movement advocates for a citizens' revolution based on permanent popular sovereignty. This translates into the establishment of a citizens' initiative referendum allowing for the recall of any elected official, including the President of the Republic. The platform reaffirms birthright citizenship (jus soli) as a principle and proposes breaking up media ideological monopolies. Jean-Luc Mélenchon refuses to water down his positions to be less divisive, asserting that defeating Marine Le Pen is not out of reach. Ecological planning involves abandoning new French nuclear power, deemed dangerous and costly, in favor of a state of ecological emergency that allows for requisitions. Regarding health, a public pharmaceutical hub would be created, and a precautionary health principle would ban products subject to scientific doubt. The movement also wishes to establish free organic school lunches for all children. Internationally, the speakers commit to the independence of Kanaky and global nuclear disarmament. They affirm their intention to act head-on against the genocide in Gaza and the annexation of the West Bank, while also getting involved in resolving the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The mayor of the 11th arrondissement points out that the route crosses a large part of his sector, including the Place de la République, Place de la Bastille, and Place de la Nation. Faced with the frustration of shopkeepers and local residents, David Belliard is calling on the police prefecture and the Ministry of the Interior to balance protest routes. He believes that there cannot be zones where protests happen systematically and is requesting new itineraries to allow independent businesses to work with peace of mind. Although the precise economic impact is difficult to quantify, the drop in activity is considered obvious and harmful to the identity of the neighborhoods. The mayor links this situation to a context of high cost of living and is asking the government to provide concrete political responses to social demands in order to ease the atmosphere and allow for a normal resumption of commercial activity. • "Already, for this one, there is a police mobilization and a security setup that is significantly larger than the one we had three weeks ago. Once again with two important missions. It is both to allow protesters to demonstrate. It is a constitutional right, so it is important that they can do so under good conditions.

Although the government is striving to pass a budget, the task remains difficult. The choice made by the French people in May 2027 will determine who will provide the solutions and chart the path forward. Regarding the recent protests, the condition of certain high schools can be discussed with the regions, which have been maintaining these institutions for over forty years. While high school students' demands are audible, they do not justify blocking schools. Preventing access to classes for those who wish to attend is not acceptable. Resorting to remote learning or video conferencing does not replace in-person classes. It is necessary for everyone to take responsibility to ensure the proper functioning of public service. • "I fear, and I say this with much regret, I fear that we will not be able to durably solve the problems facing the country before the presidential election. There is no majority in Parliament. The government is doing what it can to get a budget passed. Everyone understands that the exercise is difficult.

This approach must be organized during the campaign to offer an alternative to the noise and fury of large rallies or the spectacular controversies on television sets. Citizens express a desire to discuss and exchange calmly. More human-scale meetings, such as those observed in Annemasse and Charleville-Mézières, allow participants to ask questions and understand the meaning of the proposals as well as the vision proposed for the country. These exchanges are characterized by great attention and mutual respect. • "Democracy is not just the culture of the clash, it's not just the culture of the soundbite, it's also a calm conversation with our fellow citizens.

According to him, this is precisely the behavior that the French people do not want. • "But Raphaël Glucksmann had decided to go there, he should not have been challenged, verbally attacked, and ultimately forced to leave the demonstration.

Faced with this situation, Minister Vincent Jeanbrun identifies a production problem and wishes to launch a supply shock. This strategy relies on new construction and the rehabilitation of old buildings to combat substandard housing. The government is proposing a new policy structured around four shocks. The investment component provides tax incentives to attract capital into real estate. A simplification shock aims to reduce the burden of standards and procedures that slow down projects. Furthermore, a bill named "Housing Recovery and Decentralization" will be examined at the National Assembly before the end of the month. Regarding the energy transition, the minister refuses to remove 700,000 homes classified as F or G from the rental market. He proposes a pact allowing continued renting in exchange for an obligation to renovate within 3 to 5 years. Finally, a confidence shock is intended to reassure small landlords, who own an average of 1.1 properties, regarding the risks of squatting and unpaid rent. • "Yes, but actually we are going to do things a little differently than usual because we have the Minister of Cities and Housing, as you said, Vincent Jeanbrun, who is on set with us.

So, to the naysayers who have been talking about police violence for four weekends and preventing people from demonstrating, that is completely false. A route was decided, and we returned to the traditional République-Nation path. Clearly, when you behave well, don't hide your face, and don't throw cobblestones at the police, you can actually demonstrate in this country; there is no debate." — Unknown speaker "So, for now, we will wait for the dispersal. This morning was quite encouraging; we carried out checks beforehand at the stations, as usual, and we noticed that we didn't have people—no individuals with Japanese swords, pétanque balls, or at least very few. I mean, it had nothing to do with what we experienced on the 17th or even the 31st. So, we can be pleased about that. People can demonstrate." — Unknown speaker **Police mobilization and decline in participation** "Yes, well, it looked a bit amateurish, but that said, the mobilization is seeing a decline in the number of participants.

Opening of the A69 motorway after more than 25 years of struggle The opening of this motorway has been long awaited, marking the culmination of more than 25 years of struggle for its completion. From now on, the journey between Castres and the outskirts of Toulouse takes about 35 minutes, compared to just under an hour via the national road. This time saving is accompanied by a cost price that can be halved compared to gasoline. The project is based essentially on private funds via the concessionaire Atosca, of the NGE group, which assumes responsibility and financial risks. If the motorway is profitable, the concessionaire will make money. The mentioned contribution has been reduced to 32 million euros according to the proposals made by the concessionaire. Subscriptions are planned to reduce rates, with discounts of up to 30%, and even up to 80% for electric vehicles. However, parallel access is becoming more difficult because the RN 126 is set to be downgraded to a departmental road. • "The people of Castres, therefore, now approach the outskirts of Toulouse in about 35 minutes, compared to just under an hour via the national road" (Unknown speaker, 01:21) • "No, it is essentially private funds.

This system includes five questionnaires adapted from the final year of preschool (grande section) to the final year of high school (terminale). Alexis Guitton highlights that trade unions have achieved progress, such as breaking down sentences and adding open-ended questions to encourage students to speak out, although he laments the rushed implementation and complex administration conditions in classes of 30 students. Sex education is a mandatory subject providing for three sessions per year for every student. However, Maëlle Lecor and Alexis Guitton point to a lack of teacher training on these new topics. While associations can intervene as a supplement, some promote discourse based on gender binarity or omit topics such as abortion (IVG). Under pressure from reactionary movements, some content was initially removed from the curriculum before being reinstated starting from the fourth year of middle school (quatrième). The urgency of these measures is dictated by the scale of the figures: one-third of students have reportedly experienced some form of sexual violence at school. The deployment of these tools follows a series of significant events, notably scandals in extracurricular activities, the Lyana case, as well as the suicide of young Lucas and the harassment of school principal Caroline Grandjean-Pacou. • "one-third of students have been victims of at least one form of sexual violence at school, yes, at school" (Speaker 2, 00:00) • "the bullying questionnaire that our students fill out every year will be supplemented this year with a section dedicated to sexual violence suffered by minors" (Mr. Édouard Geffray, 05:17) • "It's because when these are not subjects that were already handled by our colleagues before, when they are new subjects, our colleagues are not trained on the https://www.youtube.com/embed/CGJfLJ6Kqjs 2058 2026-11-07 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/DPzEKdpvVis 2026-11-07 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/DPzEKdpvVis/hqdefault.jpg Les deux courants de l’extrême droite selon Laurent Joly Laurent Joly analyzes the two historical currents of the French far-right Historian Laurent Joly distinguishes two major trends within the French far-right. The first is a reactionary and traditionalist tradition that advocates for the union of the right to impose its values, a lineage now embodied by Marion Maréchal. The second trend is the appeal to the people, stemming from Bonapartism and Boulangism, of which Marine Le Pen is the heir. This current seeks to bypass the rule of law through plebiscites, considering that universal suffrage is superior to constitutions. Facing National Rally elected officials who reject the far-right label by claiming to respect democratic rules, Laurent Joly points out that this is a historical nonsense. He recalls that other movements, such as Colonel de La Rocque's Croix-de-Feu in the 1930s, had also chosen to play the parliamentary game while being classified as far-right. The historian specifies that the refusal of this label is linked to the shameful nature of the term in France. Nevertheless, he asserts that no historian or political scientist would dispute the fact that the National Rally is fully part of the history of the French far-right. • "but you have a political movement, the Croix-de-Feu, of Colonel de La Rocque, who decided to play the parliamentary game in the 30s. They are still classified as far-right. So the idea of saying: 'We are, we play the election game and therefore we should not be labeled far-right', is a historical nonsense. There is not a single historian or political scientist who will tell you that the RN is not in the history of the French far-right" (Unknown speaker, 02:07) • "There are two trends in the French far-right. These two moments that we have just defined, 1829, 1889, there is the tradition, let's say, reactionary, counter-revolutionary, traditionalist, which advocates the union of the right. This term appears in the course of the 19th century.

Call for a primary to avoid a runoff between LFI and the RN A speaker expresses their refusal to see France condemned to a runoff between La France Insoumise and the Rassemblement National, describing this prospect as catastrophic. According to them, these two parties fuel divisions among the French people and seek scapegoats. It is therefore necessary to organize a coalition to avoid splitting votes among too many candidates within the same political space. Currently, no candidate outside of LFI and the RN is in a position to reach the second round according to polls. Since no candidate has enough strength to impose unity, the speaker believes that unity must create strength. To bring together different candidates, they consider a primary to be the necessary method. • "There are two ways to build a coalition: either strength creates unity, meaning you have a candidate who can claim enough momentum in the polls and in public opinion to tell other candidates, 'Listen, I am the best positioned, I am in the second round in the polls, and therefore you must join me.' Today, no candidate outside of LFI and the RN, in any poll or configuration, is in a position to be in the second round. And so, if strength does not create unity, then unity must create strength" (Unknown speaker, 00:28) • "On the question of the primary, I refuse to accept the idea that France is condemned to a second round between La France Insoumise and the Rassemblement National. I think it would be catastrophic for our country.

This measure is presented as a matter of justice and rights for victims, allowing them to be recognized and to file complaints without a time limit. This fight, led for over 15 years, is part of a series of legislative advances and social movements like MeToo Inceste, which have allowed victims to break out of their isolation. Clinically, sexual violence generates extreme stress for children's brains. To protect itself, the brain uses a dissociation mechanism that disconnects the emotional circuit, causing anesthesia. This traumatic memory makes memories neutral or blurry, as if in a fog, and often prevents the victim from feeling the gravity of the facts or filing a complaint for several decades. Aggressors exploit these mechanisms by colonizing the minds of their victims through scenarios aimed at normalizing violence. They particularly target people who have already suffered violence, knowing that they will be less able to defend themselves. Without protection or care, suffering multiple forms of violence in childhood constitutes the primary risk factor for early death. Despite the gravity of these attacks, Muriel Salmona emphasizes that psychotraumas are medico-psychological emergencies that can be treated. The brain can repair itself, allowing victims to free themselves from traumatic memory. Informing children about their rights and about psychotraumatic disorders is considered essential to changing the situation. • "Will sexual crimes committed against minors soon be imprescriptible in France? The Senate adopted a text to that effect yesterday, even if the bill has not yet been definitively passed" (Speaker 1, 00:06) • "It is a matter of justice and rights for the victims.

Sud Radio: HCE report on mental health and women The latest HCE report reveals that 18.2% of women in France suffer from depressive disorders, compared to 12.8% of men. Michèle Vianès emphasizes that this gap has no biological cause but results from social relations. Women are structurally more exposed to precariousness, sexual violence, isolation, and an overwhelming mental load. The report points to a cycle of vulnerabilities throughout life. From adolescence, girls' well-being collapses under the weight of school bullying and social media. In adulthood, suicide and psychiatric causes have become the leading cause of maternal mortality. At work, psychological distress is the primary occupational disease among women, who are often caught between demanding social service jobs and family caregiving. Faced with these findings, the HCE makes forty-one recommendations. Emergency measures include strengthening child psychiatry, extending perinatal monitoring to the child's second year, and recognizing burnout as an occupational disease. The HCE also calls for better reimbursement of psychotherapies by social security and the expansion of the 'Mon Soutien Psy' program. • "Well, it is a, I would say an alarming finding since in France, we have 18.2% of women suffering from depressive disorders against 12.8% of men, so there is a gap that widens from adolescence. So, I would say that the fundamental point of the report is to brush aside, I would say, a naturalizing reading. There is no biological or natural cause that would condemn women to be more affected. And so this gap is indeed the result of social relations" (Michèle Vianès, 00:24) • "Yes, absolutely, because from adolescence, under the weight of school bullying, social media which we have also talked about several times, girls' mental well-being collapses and nearly a quarter of high school girls are at high risk of depression.

He denounces a situation of poverty affecting ten million people and the concentration of wealth in the hands of fifty-three billionaires. To address this, he proposes the creation of a state of social emergency, including price freezes, an increase in the minimum wage (SMIC), and a stimulus through popular consumption. On the environmental and international front, the candidate advocates for normative ecological planning and the creation of a state of ecological emergency. He calls for global nuclear and bacteriological disarmament, while demanding mutual security guarantees between all nations of Europe, including Russia and Ukraine. He refuses any territorial concessions in Ukraine without consultation with the populations concerned. The program also includes structural measures such as the transition to 100% social security coverage via a public pharmaceutical hub, the right to vote at 16, and the independence of Kanaky.

According to the details provided, the officer was beaten by about ten individuals while attempting to prevent the school from being vandalized or set on fire. This assault resulted in five days of total work incapacity for the police officer. The speakers denounce a major transgression against those who represent the authority of the State and the armed arm of the Republic. They reiterate that the vocation of the police is to protect institutions, citizens, and peaceful protesters. It is emphasized that attacking law enforcement must not be considered a trivial or unpunished act. Faced with these images deemed unacceptable, a call is made for youth to understand the importance of not attacking sovereign forces. The debate rejects the image of an aggressive police force, insisting on its mission of protection in the face of acts of violence during demonstrations. • "Exactly, they are protecting a high school to prevent it from being set on fire, to prevent it from being vandalized.

Three out of ten French people are in the red by the 17th of each month, illustrating a general impoverishment while youth unemployment is around 21%. In this context, demonstrations systematically end in an extremely intense climate of violence. This tense situation is marked by attacks against police officers, gendarmes, firefighters, and journalists. Some rhetoric legitimizes violence as a way to be heard by the government, even as the government no longer holds a majority and the state coffers are empty.

At a store in Lille, the monthly revenue drop has reached 20%, while rents and overhead costs remain the same. Operating losses are not enough to cover the shortfall. This situation weighs on the middle class, which, beyond taxes and a declining standard of living, is now facing security issues. The prevailing sentiment is one of being prevented from working, making business activity in France increasingly unbearable. • "So, we stay open, we have no choice because the little revenue we make on Saturdays is revenue we have to make because the rents are there, the overheads are there, and operating losses won't cover the revenue we unfortunately don't make. So, it's complicated. For our Lille store, we are at minus 20% on monthly revenue" (Unknown speaker, 00:00) • "and the overheads have remained the same. We have no choice, we have to stay open, we have to remain resilient. And as usual, it's the middle class that suffers.

For now, the situation is calm and people are demonstrating peacefully, with colleagues not needing to wear helmets. The violence of certain individuals, however, remains difficult to gauge.

These hospital facilities have significant experience with this type of injury. The work of the medical teams is long-term, spanning days, weeks, or even months, in order to prevent complications from adding to the initial severity of the injuries. This process constitutes a very long battle for the victims, their families, and the care teams. Beyond physical care, the necessary psychological support can last a lifetime. • "But obviously, it's a long battle. We provide care for a long time with teams, so I believe the four most serious cases are there, in Lyon, so it's a hospital structure, what we call high-level trauma centers, which obviously have enormous experience with this kind of injury. But you really have to, as you said, imagine that for the teams, and obviously for the victims, for their families, but for the teams who are going to look after them, it will last for days, weeks, or sometimes even months, also to avoid having a whole host of complications that come to add to the severity of the injuries" (Unknown speaker, 00:00) • "So it's a very long battle, and I'm not even talking about the subsequent psychological support that can last a lifetime" (Unknown speaker, 00:00) https://www.youtube.com/embed/RJWCn-Bj1ec 51 2026-11-07 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/RLSgy3dq_m8 2026-11-07 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/RLSgy3dq_m8/hqdefault.jpg Bernard Cohen-Hadad : "Les commerçants sont désœuvrés, démotivés et très inquiets..." Concern of the CPME Paris Ile-de-France regarding business failures and destruction Bernard Cohen-Haddad expresses the helplessness and concern of merchants, artisans, and independent workers as the Christmas holidays approach. He reports that 3,000 businesses have been affected by destruction, including nearly 500 shops ransacked in Paris on October 17th alone. According to him, these professionals have become the "new poor" in the face of looting and vandalism. The economic situation is considered critical, with 7,766 business failures recorded over the last 12 months. The outlook is bleak: 82% of business leaders believe they will not survive the next 12 months. To support activity, the president of the CPME Paris Ile-de-France calls for easier access to investment and credit. On the social front, Bernard Cohen-Haddad emphasizes that while partial unemployment is a good measure, it does not resolve the issue of quality of life. He raises the challenge of work remuneration and value sharing. He specifies that an increase in the minimum wage (Smic) of €100 to €150 represents a cost of €190 to €250 per employee for the employer, which amounts to an additional annual budget of €15,000 for a small business with five employees. • "82% of business leaders think they will not survive the next 12 months" (Bernard Cohen-Haddad, 09:11) • "You see, when we have, Frédéric Brindelle, more, sorry, than 7,766 business failures over the last 12 months, we cannot say that the future is sunny for our local businesses" (Bernard Cohen-Haddad, 08:12) • "Let's recall the figures: 3,000 businesses affected and destroyed.

I confess that from the first day I had no doubt and was convinced that this trip had to go forward, and very happy to say praise the Lord, and thanks to wonderful medical assistance, I'm here today, I think, in fairly good shape." — Unknown speaker "And of course, the longest part of the trip will be in Peru, which for myself of course, is one of my many homes. And I'm very happy to be going back there, of course. And just would like to again say that the primary reason for making this trip is to continue the mission of the Bishop of Rome, of the Pope, in sharing the joy of the Gospel, of announcing the good news, and walking together with people, expressing that closeness which is so important for people whether in their moments of joy, or in their moments of sorrow, that they very much are looking for the message of hope in today's world." — Unknown speaker **Presentation of Montse Montserrata Alvarado** "So, you're the witnesses of that, and I'm happy that you're joining us.

Although voting is sometimes perceived as rigged to be ineffective, it remains the best tool when it functions properly, far from the logic of imposed candidates. The implementation of local self-management, at the level of families or schools, would allow decisions to be made by vote. In this framework, the majority must prevail over the minority. Currently, minority opposition manifests through violence, insults, and blockades, which requires a stricter Republic to enforce the rules. The Republic would do itself honor by recalling that the right to strike or blockade should not belong to a minority. If a desire for action is held by the majority, it must be heard; if it is held by a minority, it should not allow the system to be blocked. Democracy must be firm so as not to yield to what is described as the tyranny of minorities. • "But it would be so wonderful if it were the power of the majority. That is called the power of the people, which is exactly what democracy is. Here, it is exactly the opposite. We are in a kind of aristocracy that allows minorities to impose their law on the majority. I personally think we haven't found anything better than voting, even if I have called for not voting a number of times because the vote is rigged so that it cannot produce its effects" (Unknown speaker, 00:30) • "Yes, but there was a very beautiful book by Jean-François Revel called How Democracies Perish, which showed that democracies must be firm, and that they must be democratic, but also firm. We need republics that would remind people of the rules and laws of the Republic.

And in the context of an occupied life annuity, the most common form, they retain the right to live in their home according to the terms stipulated in the deed. The idea is ultimately to transform one's real estate assets into available resources to supplement retirement, finance home care, adapt the home, or simply enjoy daily life more." — Unknown speaker "Our role is above all to understand the seller's needs to offer them a solution adapted to their life project with the necessary guarantees to protect them.

He reports that after a false alarm against an aircraft last Monday, the number rose to ten on Tuesday, fifteen on Thursday, and between 10 and 20 yesterday. This concentration within a short timeframe systematically targets countries supporting Ukraine in the war against Russia. The methodology used relies on anonymous emails that trigger alerts when planes are already in flight. According to the speaker, this process makes security operations much more burdensome and costly. These interventions often require scrambling fighter jets to divert aircraft to military bases to conduct full searches. • "Yes, certainly, we can speak of a coordinated campaign, if only because there are at least three to four elements that allow us to say so. First element: there is an escalation of an operation over several days. Last Monday, we had an attack against one, well, a false alarm against one plane. Tuesday, we had ten. Thursday, fifteen, and yesterday again between 10 and 20" (Speaker 1, 00:00) • "So, we have a concentration over a period of time, over a fairly short timeframe. Secondly, we have countries that are systematically targeted and which have the particularity, among others, of being countries that support Ukraine in the war against Russia.

Instability and obstacles to energy renovation with Hellio and the Ministry The energy renovation sector is facing instability marked by constant changes surrounding MaPrimeRénov', between suspended schemes and shifting eligibility conditions. This situation disorients French people who no longer know what they are entitled to. It is now necessary to establish a stable trajectory over several years with schemes that are simpler to understand. Maintaining MaPrimeRénov' is considered crucial, because cutting more than 3 billion euros in subsidies for low-income households and artisans would lead to disaster. At the same time, the principle of the Energy Performance Certificate (DPE) must be preserved in the face of current energy costs. A new decree is being prepared to simplify access to the RGE label for specialist artisans, while avoiding the creation of an overly complex bureaucracy during inspections. The housing recovery bill must lay the foundations for renovation based on trust with individuals and social landlords. Finally, a major programming law on housing is considered essential in the context of the presidential debate to steer the country's destiny over the next five years. • "MaPrimeRénov', there have been malfunctions, we can do better, we must be more efficient, but for heaven's sake, if you cut more than 3 billion in money that subsidizes low-income households and effectively finances the work of our artisans all over the national territory, we are heading for disaster" (Unknown speaker, 02:33) • "Today, we need two things: schemes that are simpler to understand, and above all a stable trajectory over several years" (Unknown speaker, 00:56) • "Pierre-Marie, we have lost count of the changes surrounding MaPrimeRénov', aid that evolves, schemes suspended then relaunched, eligibility conditions that change, and behind that, French people who no longer always know what they are entitled to" (Unknown speaker, 00:12) • "But on the other hand, where you are right is, I think this question must be asked https://www.youtube.com/embed/Xpl-AF2RTJI 448 2026-11-07 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/YSGJi8HaFGE 2026-11-07 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/YSGJi8HaFGE/hqdefault.jpg Le point sur la situation sur la place de la Nation avec le commissaire Grappe Situation report from Commissioner Grappe at Place de la Nation on November 7th **State of the situation and festive atmosphere** "So, the mobile gendarmes haven't put on their helmets, and I haven't either.

The proposal defended is to raise the minimum wage (Smic) to 2,200 euros gross, emphasizing that social contributions are essential to finance social protection. Other organizations such as the CGT and the CFDT are also advocating for revaluation demands. The social conference should allow for a debate on a progressive increase in remuneration above the minimum wage, with a greater effort for low wages. To implement this dynamic, the restoration of the sliding scale of wages is recommended. This mechanism, which existed until the 1980s, allowed for an automatic increase in all wages as soon as the minimum wage was revalued. • "It is a generalized wage increase. We are asking to raise the salary, the minimum wage, to 2,200 euros gross. Gross, because contributions matter for financing social protection. The CGT has a proposal that is not far from that. The CFDT is proposing 150 euros for all employees" (Unknown speaker, 00:05) • "The social conference must debate these proposals and ensure that salaries above the minimum wage, depending on the salary level, increase progressively and that the increases are stronger for low wages, and less strong for higher salaries. But that is how you orchestrate a generalized wage increase. It is not done by law. There is a law, however, that should be passed quickly, which is the restoration of the sliding scale of wages that existed until the 80s, meaning that all salaries increased automatically when the minimum wage increased" (Unknown speaker, 00:26) • "Since this law has disappeared, today, it is a social conference that can restore a generalized wage increase" (Unknown speaker, 00:26) https://www.youtube.com/embed/Yx9g9XPaWkQ 72 2026-11-07 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/Yxq50HIQ91I 2026-11-07 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Yxq50HIQ91I/hqdefault.jpg "Il y a une crise qui est légitime en France" (Jérémie Patrier-Leitus) Jérémie Patrier-Leitus on franceinfo: social mobilization, wages, and Édouard Philippe's candidacy France is going through a fourth consecutive day of mobilization against the high cost of living. While the right to protest is a fundamental freedom, authorities are reporting calls for violence against security forces and public buildings. Protesters are expressing a feeling of not being able to make ends meet despite working, raising the issue of purchasing power. Economically, increasing the minimum wage (Smic) by decree is described as a dramatic false promise. The real issue lies in the fact that the net salary is too low compared to the gross salary. A reform is recommended to bring these two levels closer together, while emphasizing that work can no longer single-handedly finance an unbalanced social model. Social dialogue regarding working hours and value sharing must take place within companies. Regarding the presidential campaign, Édouard Philippe is presented as the best-positioned candidate to reach the second round. He refuses to participate in a primary for the right and center, which is perceived as an instrument of division. Unity should be built around his candidacy rather than through such a mechanism. Finally, the issue of media freedom is addressed: it is not up to political leaders to decide on the closure of a channel. Such a decision would threaten the entirety of press freedom and public broadcasting. Furthermore, accusations of racism and participation in the 'Le Pen-ization' of minds are causing intense anger, while also highlighting the diversity of backgrounds among young people from immigrant families. • "But because he is a candidate, and I repeat this to you this morning, he is not a candidate for the primary of the right and the center, the scope of which we do not really understand anyway" (Unknown speaker, 09:24) • "Because making employees believe that we are going to increase purchasing power with a false promise, that is to say that by decree we will be able to increase their https://www.youtube.com/embed/Yxq50HIQ91I 1074 2026-11-07 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/_EEOv_wAe7g 2026-11-07 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/_EEOv_wAe7g/hqdefault.jpg Les banques alimentaires lancent leur collecte Launch of the 42nd annual Food Bank collection in a difficult economic context The Food Banks have launched their 42nd annual collection with more than 9,000 collection points set up across the country. The goal of this campaign, which runs until November 8, is to collect the equivalent of 20 million meals. This mobilization is considered crucial by the associations because the number of requests has exploded in recent years. In the Bas-Rhin, the number of beneficiaries has gone from 38,000 to 68,000 in the space of four years, an 80% increase described as quite severe. Despite this growing need, volunteers are expressing concern in a context where the cost of living is high. On the ground, donations in the shopping carts are observed to be much more modest. Faced with this difficult economic context, participating in the collection remains considered a duty for many French people.

Europe facing social unrest: debates in Parliament on youth The European Union is going through a period of social ferment marked by waves of protest in several countries, including France and Italy. Emma Fourreau highlights that the same causes are striking everywhere: housing crisis, the high cost of living, and the decay of education. Elisabetta Gualmini adds that liberal democracy has not kept its promises of prosperity, leaving young people with practically nothing in a welfare state that seems to function primarily for adults. The education sector is particularly affected by budget cuts and a shortage of underpaid teachers. In Italy, the government has cut more than 7,000 positions in the school sector, while in France, investment per student is decreasing. For Assita Kanko, the fight against inflation must involve creating value and responsible management of public finances, pointing the finger at those who benefit from the system without working. The debate also focuses on the response to the demonstrations. Emma Fourreau denounces disproportionate police violence and the massive use of tear gas against mostly peaceful protesters. For her part, Elisabetta Gualmini believes that a security-focused logic alone does not work and that a balance must be found between the criminalization of young people and the serious condemnation of violence. • "Welcome to the Brussels Parliament where we are observing a Europe in full social ferment; like France, where the first high school student movements started, several countries in the Union are facing waves of protest in the streets" (Speaker 1, 17:00) • "These are the same causes striking everywhere in Europe: the housing crisis, the fact that the cost of living has become too expensive, the fact that, in terms of education, everything is dilapidated" (Emma FOURREAU, 19:18) • "We must acknowledge that liberal democracy has not kept its promises because we were promised prosperity and public services for everyone, while young people have practically nothing" https://www.youtube.com/embed/a51y6JHSFcY 2067 2026-11-07 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/aaZH7Fx33PQ 2026-11-07 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/aaZH7Fx33PQ/hqdefault.jpg Highlights from Pope Leo XIV’s First Day in Montevideo, Uruguay Highlights from Pope Leo XIV’s First Day in Montevideo, Uruguay https://www.youtube.com/embed/aaZH7Fx33PQ 72 2026-11-07 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/cWLUnV15Udg 2026-11-07 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/cWLUnV15Udg/hqdefault.jpg "C'est une jeunesse qui se lève et qui dit : Nous allons écrire l'histoire" (Clément Vieillot) High school student mobilization for a 10 billion euro emergency plan The high school student movement is demanding that the state release 10 billion euros to renovate schools. One speaker considers the 4 billion euro loan proposed for school infrastructure to be deeply insufficient, arguing that it shifts the responsibility onto the regions. The mobilization denounces total contempt, illustrated by the fact that influencers were received before high school representatives, and an administration that allegedly hides the reality of high schools from the minister. Regarding pedagogy, the shortage of thousands of teachers is highlighted, particularly in Seine-Saint-Denis and Val-de-Marne, with urgent needs in mathematics, scientific subjects, and French. This situation is part of a broader critique of austerity policies and contempt for intermediary bodies. The movement also challenges the Parcoursup system, which is accused of practicing sorting and selection that causes those who are left behind despite obtaining their baccalaureate to lose faith in the Republic. The protesters are calling for the opening of more spots to guarantee the right to study and propose bringing 80% of an age group to the bachelor's degree level. • "We are asking for the state to take the 10 billion euros out of the state coffers, the 10 billion we are asking for, the 10 billion that are necessary to renovate in the in the in the in the respect" (Unknown speaker, 01:21) • "But for us, we are going with the dynamic, it's 10 billion or nothing for the simple and good reason that, in fact, 10 billion is already the alternative" (Unknown speaker, 06:41) • "A 4 billion loan for school infrastructure, at least for high schools, is deeply insufficient and it is a loan that once again passes the hot potato to the regions" (Unknown speaker, 00:53) • "We are asking for the opening of spots to stop this sorting, stop this selection, and for the Republic to be applied, for people to have the right to study" (Unknown speaker, 08:37) • "We know that, https://www.youtube.com/embed/cWLUnV15Udg 835 2026-11-07 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/ctnW3uSz8u4 2026-11-07 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ctnW3uSz8u4/hqdefault.jpg L'innovation peut-elle résoudre la crise du logement ? Innovation and housing challenges at the RENT and Condominium trade shows The week of real estate and housing, marked by the RENT trade show and the Condominium and Housing trade show, provided five days of meetings to move things forward. Faced with a housing crisis described as severe, innovation is presented as a major key to solving a large part of the sector's problems. This innovation encompasses new technologies, more environmentally virtuous construction methods, and social innovation. Housing is described as a social marker and a determinant of health. Poor housing impacts studies, work, family life, and health. Conversely, new or rehabilitated housing can become a springboard for fulfillment and a place that takes care of its inhabitants. The goal is to restore the image of real estate in the country by giving it another dimension through health and technology. The real estate sector must regain its full place in public debate and presidential campaigns. The government's position is to listen to and understand the challenges of the various stakeholders who, during this week, showed their ability to work together and team up. • "Innovation will be one of the keys, if not the key in many cases, to solving a large part of the problems related to housing" (Unknown speaker, 01:28) • "Finally, objectively, I will tell you, I have taken a bath of energy that does me a world of good, because as I often say, you know, I am less the Minister of Housing than of the housing crisis, because it is here, this housing crisis is severe" (Unknown speaker, 03:39) • "No, it is the blank page on which everything is written.

While the purchase cost is higher, the vehicle is cheaper to use over its lifespan. Furthermore, a portion of production in France or Europe helps drive the national economy. Regarding batteries, the expert specifies that they are very recyclable because they are composed of metal, a valuable material. Unlike CO2 in the atmosphere, battery metal facilitates the creation of a profitable recycling industry as soon as volumes are sufficient. To power this fleet, the amount of carbon-free electricity should be sufficient, provided that it is not all given over to data centers. Jean-Marc Jancovici also suggests using smaller cars and organizing with fewer individual vehicles. The Shift Project shows that by developing buses, trains, and active modes of transport, the country can function with fewer than 40 million cars without it being burdensome for citizens. • "So, batteries, in fact, are metal and metal is very easy to recycle, unlike CO2 in the atmosphere which is very difficult to recycle.

This trend drives some young people to want to be part of the event and to generate traffic or views, even in the face of morbid or dangerous situations where their own lives may be at risk. This behavior manifests as the reflex to film serious scenes rather than calling emergency services or helping victims. This observation raises questions about the level of values, education, and basic principles instilled by parents, marking a form of general stupefaction and a disconnection compared to previous years. • "I, I wonder about this, it makes me, it makes me scared because it reminds me, I was talking about it with Charlotte d'Ornellas, the parallel with the young people in Crans-Montana who prefer to film even though their lives are in danger.

Sud Radio: dealing with rising gas prices The gas reference price increased by 6.6% on November 1st. For a family with one child consuming 2000 kWh, this represents a €24 increase on the bill compared to October. For the entire year of 2026, the regulator estimates that the annual bill could be €135 higher than in 2025. Faced with this situation, 72% of households surveyed plan to limit their heating this winter. Jean-Claude Rancurel, president at CAPEB, points out that lowering the temperature by 1 degree allows for 7% energy savings. For existing installations, he recommends checking the condition of the radiators: a cold top of a radiator requires bleeding, while a cold bottom may indicate a need for sludge removal. After bleeding, it is essential to restore the water to the correct pressure. The installation of a programmable thermostat is recommended to regulate the temperature according to periods of absence. By lowering the temperature by 3 to 4 degrees during the workday, it is possible to achieve up to 28% energy savings. The recommended comfort temperature is 19 degrees for active individuals, and can go up to 20 or 21 degrees for the elderly. • "Yes, it is quite chilly. So the gas reference price increased by 6.6% just on November 1st, you can imagine. And the national energy mediator informs us that 72% of households surveyed plan to limit their heating in winter to avoid an overly high bill. So we are really under constraint. If we take a household that consumes 2000 kWh in November, it's a family with one child, at the reference heating price, they would pay about €24 more on the bill compared to October for the same amount of gas" (Unknown speaker, 00:31) • "So, what still works, I would say it all depends on the age of the boiler.

However, the unionization rate remains low, standing at about 10% on average, with a marked concentration in the public sector and large companies. Paradoxically, the coverage rate by collective agreements reaches 98% thanks to the extension mechanism by ministerial decree. Unions have become true political actors in France, supported by large national confederations and approximately 40,000 union officials. Their legitimacy is now built from the bottom up, through company elections. However, successive governments have often sought to bypass discussion with these organizations, convening social conferences mainly in crisis situations. Economically, the issue of sharing value and created wealth remains central. While wages are decided within companies or sectors, productivity gains are considered too low to allow for significant increases. The minimum wage (Smic) is rising faster than productivity, and an increase in the latter would have only a limited effect on purchasing power due to the adjustment of social transfers. The adoption of AI is mentioned as a lever to improve these productivity gains. • "Yesterday was a day of strikes and demonstrations at the call of union organizations united for the occasion in an inter-union coalition.

He illustrates his point with the example of a person who struck a female police officer. During her arrest, the individual told the law enforcement officers that nothing would happen to her.

If, for years, the justice system had sent the message that attacking a police officer means 4, 5, 6, or 8 years in the slammer, it would have had a deterrent effect on others. One of them hit a female police officer earlier, and you can hear her in the video saying: 'Anyway, nothing will happen to me.' She hits a police officer, the officer's colleagues arrest her, and she says to them, looking them straight in the eye: 'Anyway, you can arrest me, nothing will happen to me.' There you go, so people actually know that nothing will happen to them" (Unknown speaker, 00:00) https://www.youtube.com/embed/rWuaFbCYf-A 35 2026-11-07 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/rsZ_e94SiR0 2026-11-07 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/rsZ_e94SiR0/hqdefault.jpg Marchons notre chemin, jusqu’à la victoire ! **SUIVEZ-MOI SUR** - Twitch : https://www.twitch.tv/jlmelenchon - Tiktok : https://www.tiktok.com/@jlmelenchon - Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/JLMelenchon/ - Twitter : https://twitter.com/JLMelenchon - Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/jlmelenchon/ - Threads : https://www.threads.net/@jlmelenchon - Whatsapp : https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaF8ghIFsn0hWYzCAy37 - Bluesky : https://bsky.app/profile/jlmelenchon.bsky.social https://www.youtube.com/embed/rsZ_e94SiR0 40 2026-11-07 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/sORmer_InJM 2026-11-07 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/sORmer_InJM/hqdefault.jpg Face à Michel Onfray (Émission du 07/11/2026) Facing Michel Onfray: current political events, freedom of expression, and the strategy of La France insoumise **High school student movement and violence** "The high school student movement, Michel, is running out of steam.

This figure is higher than that recorded over 18 months during the Yellow Vests protests. Officers suffer daily from fractures, perforated eardrums, or burns. The security deployment evolves throughout the day as personnel are released. Small groups of protesters seek to disperse throughout the capital to outmaneuver the remaining security presence, which is no longer the same as it was at the peak of the day. • "These images at least have the merit of showing what my colleagues are going through. I keep repeating it, but we have just exceeded, we have exceeded 2,500 injured among law enforcement. That is to say, it's more than for the Yellow Vests in 18 months, and that's in less than five weeks. So, I have colleagues every day who have fractures, perforated eardrums, burns. And it continues" (Unknown speaker, 00:00) • "Regarding the deployment, the real issue, and the protesters know it, is that the deployment is set up early in the morning. So now, we are starting to have the daytime personnel being released. So the deployment, as we speak, is not quite the same as the one overseeing all the demonstrations. And in fact, that is the goal of these small groups, to disperse throughout the capital and try to outmaneuver the deployment that still remains—I'm not going to tell you it's not still massive in the capital, but we don't have the same deployment here as what we had at the peak of the day" (Unknown speaker, 00:29) https://www.youtube.com/embed/suaSjgdBW_s 72 2026-11-07 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/ti-uxbKpBYc 2026-11-07 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ti-uxbKpBYc/hqdefault.jpg Revivez le meeting de Jean-Luc Mélenchon au Bourget Jean-Luc Mélenchon's rally at Le Bourget for the 'L'Avenir en commun' (The Future in Common) platform **Political platform and strategy** “Jean-Luc Mélenchon has released his platform with this book, L'Avenir en commun, featuring 1069 measures for the 2027 presidential election” — Speaker 1 “Revolution, 6th Republic, a new France, non-alignment in international affairs, a state of social emergency—these are the main chapter headings of Jean-Luc Mélenchon's platform” — Mathilde Quéméner “We saw a candidate determined to mark his opposition to his main rival, Marine Le Pen, whose project he deems individualistic. He, on the contrary, wants to reaffirm his core values centered on sharing and solidarity” — Victor Taupneau “Well, one ends up wondering if this argument isn't simply a pretext to refuse to help us achieve the best possible score in the first round, because I want to remind you that in 2022, they were already predicting 30% for Madame Le Pen, and we were within one point of knocking her out of the second round” — Mr. Jean-Luc Mélenchon “The current social movement, like our candidacy, is the trial of 10 years of Macronist liberal revolution that have largely damaged and destroyed our country” — Mr. Jean-Luc Mélenchon **State of social emergency and economy** “We need to create a state of social emergency.

The food bank network is observing a steady increase in requests: the number of people served has risen from 1,900,000 in 2019 to 2,400,000 last year. This situation is marked by the arrival of new populations within the 6,000 partner associations. Working poor have been present for 4 or 5 years, a trend accentuated by the "Covid shock" and the significant rise in vegetable and energy prices. People with low pensions, for example having €900, are heavily impacted because the average basket of €90 represents 10% of their income. Students are also increasingly numerous, leading to the establishment of specific grocery stores. Faced with this situation, the network works in agreement with large and medium-sized retailers. Jean-Louis Duprez highlights the importance of citizen solidarity, noting that even people in difficulty continue to donate to support those who are even more precarious than themselves. • "It is even becoming structural, which is worrying since we have more and more people. Two figures: 2019, we welcomed 1,900,000 people with our 6,000 partner associations, and last year, it was 2,400,000. So we see a steady progression of requests and with new populations arriving" (Unknown speaker, 00:23) • "The working poor, whom we have been seeing for 4 or 5 years who have arrived, the Covid shock did a lot of things since there was a fairly significant price increase: vegetables, energy, etc., etc. So, it's about 10 to 15%, it depends on the territories. We traditionally have, of course, people with low pensions. When you have a €900 pension, the average basket with us is around €90, it's 10% of your income, it's significant. And then also students" (Unknown speaker, 00:47) • "This poverty even today, it is taking root, it is gaining ground" (Unknown speaker, 00:19) https://www.youtube.com/embed/tm0GW-ILDeE 87 2026-11-07 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/tzfkGaSfjXg 2026-11-07 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/tzfkGaSfjXg/hqdefault.jpg Anne-Solange Muis, invitée de C pas si loin Not So Far Away: Environmental and Cultural Challenges in Saint-Pierre and Miquelon In Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, discussions have been underway since 2022 regarding the relocation of the village of Miquelon in the face of climate risks. Coastal erosion and rising sea levels threaten homes and businesses with marine submersion. The acceptability of this major change relies on long-term consultation with the population. The catalyst for accepting the move notably came from the children, whose adaptability convinced the adults. The territory also faces ecological challenges concerning its boreal forest, a unique coniferous massif covering 11% of the surface area. This forest is being nibbled away by white-tailed deer, a species introduced in 1953 whose population now reaches hundreds of individuals. These mammals consume young shoots, preventing the growth of conifers in favor of ferns. More broadly, 30% of threatened species in French Overseas Territories are at risk due to invasive species introduced by humans. Culturally, territorial literary salons allow for the sharing of local identity despite an illiteracy rate two to five times higher than in mainland France. However, authors express concern regarding artificial intelligence, which is perceived as a threat to the world of culture. Books remain a tool for resistance and transmission, supported by professionals committed despite difficult economic conditions. • "She will talk to us about the future of Miquelon, in Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, as she has been participating in the reflection on the village's relocation since 2022" (Speaker 1, 00:00) • "As the coastline recedes, some businesses and homes that have long been illegally established on the shore are now in danger of marine submersion" (Unknown speaker, 07:44) • "And then the adults came, they came in large numbers, the parents were there, and I think that was the trigger to say OK, we're moving; the children are ready, so we are too" (Unknown speaker, 11:45) • "The French boreal forest is also being https://www.youtube.com/embed/tzfkGaSfjXg 1560 2026-11-07 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/uD8uxu0E0zw 2026-11-07 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/uD8uxu0E0zw/hqdefault.jpg Stanislas Gaudon : «On est dans l'émeute urbaine qui se veut révolutionnaire» Stanislas Gaudon on urban riots and the mobilization of law enforcement **Violence and revolutionary urban rioting** "Also, we must remember that yesterday, there was a high school in Lyon that started to burn, with high school students inside.

We are seeing a drop in supply of about 20% in France and up to 50% in Paris. At the same time, rental investment is falling sharply" — Unknown speaker "It is credit that is more expensive, the lack of confidence, but also the instability of the rules that are slowing down investments, as we have discussed.

This initiative aims to fight against poverty and precariousness, which affect 2,400,000 people in France. Throughout the weekend, volunteers are soliciting the solidarity of customers at supermarket entrances to collect food items. Needs are focused on essential, easy-to-store products and hygiene items. A particular priority is given to children and babies, for whom donations of diapers, baby food, and hygiene products are often lacking, whereas donations of pasta for adults are more frequent. The number of beneficiaries is increasing significantly across the country. In the Bas-Rhin department, this number has risen from 38,000 to 68,000 in four years, an increase of 80%. At the same time, the Banques Alimentaires must cope with rising fuel prices, which impact the cost of deliveries. • "Purchasing power is one of the main demands of the social movement, and it is in this context that the national food drive by Banques Alimentaires begins to fight against poverty and precariousness.

Nicolas Bray emphasizes that the principal is the only person who is criminally liable in these situations, which forces them to act to ensure things go as smoothly as possible, even though they are sometimes perceived as the ones trying to prevent the movements. Management staff report general distress and moral exhaustion. Many colleagues are described as damaged or drained, walking a tightrope. This situation is marked by attacks on physical integrity, threats, and intimidation, although the minister has provided unconditional support to staff who are victims of these acts. Faced with this climate, school principals expect guarantees to work in complete safety. They are also calling for a social response for high school students, whose demands focus in particular on the issue of teacher replacements. Nicolas Bray believes that responses should be provided to the expectations of young people rather than prioritizing arrests and police custody. • "We come across as the bad guys who want to prevent blockades, but you have to realize that when there is a blockade, the only person who is criminally liable is the school principal" (Unknown speaker, 01:56) • "I tell you, the exchanges I have with colleagues show general distress, whereas before, we were responsible for supporting one or two colleagues in places where there had been abuses" (Unknown speaker, 10:22) • "So in this context, colleagues who are on a tightrope, I won't hide it, are exhausted, drained" (Unknown speaker, 05:52) • "That is also why we expect from our minister, and our ministers, because there is indeed perhaps a social response to be provided, and, as school principals, there is a response from our minister to guarantee that we can work in complete safety" (Unknown speaker, 10:22) • "The minister once again expressed his unconditional support this Friday for National https://www.youtube.com/embed/wj3q0CBxtEE 687 2026-11-07 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/wzXK2kWsWDg 2026-11-07 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/wzXK2kWsWDg/hqdefault.jpg 7 novembre : "Le pouvoir macroniste ne reconnaît pas les manifestations" (Patrick Bruneteaux November 7th mobilization: tensions surrounding law enforcement and disobedience **Police deployment and tensions** "We are expecting a day that might be a bit more tense, with perhaps more tension than on October 24th and 31st, when we had the same police deployment—in fact, it is being renewed identically, with 70,000 law enforcement officers" — Speaker 5 "The prefecture first announced the closure of metro stations across the entire Champs-Élysées avenue, but also here at the Place de la Concorde, to make access to this square more difficult for potential Yellow Vests" — Mattéo Pastot "CRS riot police are also checking the surroundings of these squares, the access points to this Place de la Concorde, and searching the personal belongings of passersby to verify that there are no banners" — Mattéo Pastot "Absolutely, the National Assembly, the Élysée, Matignon, and certain ministries are really in the immediate vicinity of this large Place de la Concorde, because it is a large square with numerous streets that allow access to it" — Speaker 5 "Here, we are returning to a more classic route, which, by the way, passes through the center of Paris, and therefore near many businesses" — Speaker 5 **Calls for disobedience and protest** "The little novelty, I would say, of the day is that you have the Yellow Vests, the coordination of the Yellow Vests, who for one part are calling to disobey the authorities" — Speaker 5 "We are calling to go there, we are calling to disobey massively, and we are calling not to go to the alternative route imposed by the prefecture" — Benjamin Hembise "But there is also, Antoine, a fully authorized route from an inter-union coalition of regional unions—CGT, FO, FSU, Solidaires, CFDT—along with a youth inter-union coalition" — Speaker 4 "And so, in fact, saying: we are disobeying the instructions given, so we are disobeying the rules, is part of the repertoire of protest in a fairly natural way, which is very different from violence" — Noé Girardot-Champsaur **Corrupted law enforcement https://www.youtube.com/embed/wzXK2kWsWDg 1096 2026-11-07 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/xCxPLpRx3Gw 2026-11-07 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xCxPLpRx3Gw/hqdefault.jpg "Des gens vont devoir choisir entre se chauffer et se nourrir. C'est ça la réalité" (Noé Girardot) Debate on social unrest and wage negotiations with Sébastien Lecornu France is going through a social protest movement marked by strong anger linked to the high cost of living. Many employees, both in the public and private sectors, can no longer make ends meet despite working full-time. According to the 'Pacte du pouvoir de vivre' barometer, this feeling of difficulty in making ends meet now affects 50% of French people. In this context, protesters are showing persistent determination despite a slight drop in mobilization after four consecutive Saturdays. Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu is set to meet with social partners as well as high school and student representatives to attempt to resume social democracy. Discussions will focus in particular on the overhaul or repeal of Parcoursup and on issues within the Ministry of National Education, such as the state of school infrastructure. However, some participants fear that these meetings will not be genuine negotiations but merely announcements of decisions already made by the government. Economically, demands are focused on a general wage increase. Proposals include a net minimum wage (SMIC) of 2,000 euros and a catch-up measure of 400 euros for all salaries. To fund these increases, the focus is on the profits of large companies, dividends, and the hundreds of billions in public aid distributed to businesses each year. The goal is to address the growing unacceptability of a two-tier society. • "This social anger, it is expressing itself, it is above all denouncing the high cost of living and the problem of all these French employees, both public and private, who can no longer make ends meet even though they work full-time" (Unknown speaker, 08:43) • "Because Sophie de Ravinel, it's a big day, big stakes for Sébastien Lecornu on Monday.

This mechanism is described as an instrument of division and a lack of seriousness, particularly due to uncertainty regarding its scope and organization. Despite opinion polls placing him in third position, Édouard Philippe's entourage asserts that he remains the best-placed candidate to reach the second round. The stated goal is to avoid a deadly duel between Jean-Luc Mélenchon and Marine Le Pen. The proposed strategy consists of calling on other candidates from the right and center to come and help Édouard Philippe. Although other candidacies are considered legitimate, the idea is to rally around the person best positioned to guarantee access to the second round. • "He is a candidate for the presidential election. The primary is an instrument of division. I mean, sorry, we heard this week a sort of Grand Prix or Lépine contest of the primary, it's a primary where the losers wouldn't support the winner but would respect them without really respecting them. I mean, it's not serious. Édouard Philippe is still the best placed, whatever people say, month after month, to reach the second round" (Unknown speaker, 00:24) • "But because he is a candidate, and I repeat it to you this morning, he is not a candidate for the primary of the right and center, whose scope and organization we don't really understand anyway. He is" (Unknown speaker, 00:13) • "Month after month, okay, but month after month, he remains the best placed to reach the second round of the presidential election.

This stance includes the use of intimidation, vandalism, and what is described as legitimate violence. This climate manifests concretely through the intimidation of booksellers and the insulting of people attending book signings. The incitement to political violence is thus said to come from the left side of the political spectrum, while events like Jean-Luc Mélenchon's rally at Le Bourget do not face counter-demonstrations or intimidation against supporters. • "It's the legitimate violence of Balibar, Cahuec, eh. The left does not have a monopoly on violence, but it claims to have one on morality.

He points the finger at the far-left and ultra-left, which he claims have a political agenda, as well as an unprecedented level of violence directed against school principals, police officers, gendarmes, and firefighters. According to him, the foundations of the Republic and respect for the law have been dismantled. The assessment also covers the considerable material damage, notably the Mandela high school in Nantes, estimated at 8 million euros, and total costs exceeding one billion euros. He contrasts the situation of motorists receiving speeding tickets with that of looters, thugs, and militants who burn down institutions. Finally, the speaker highlights the plight of victimized shopkeepers and pays tribute to the police officers who are holding the Republic together while being restrained. He cites the example of a police commander who was lynched and calls for this decomposition of society to stop. • "Listen, I fear so. I fear so, simply because there is, as you said, probably the far-left, the ultra-left have a political agenda and, at the same time, we are no longer really in a democratic climate.

The candidate proposes creating a state of social emergency to address poverty and the destruction of public services. His priorities include price freezes, raising the minimum wage (SMIC) to 1,700 euros net, indexing wages to inflation, and retirement at age 60. He advocates for a stimulus policy driven by popular consumption. Regarding institutional and ecological matters, the program plans for a transition to the Sixth Republic and the establishment of a citizens' initiative referendum allowing for the recall of any elected official, including the president. Jean-Luc Mélenchon defends a normative ecological planning approach where state aid is conditional upon meeting the plan's objectives. He also announces the abolition of Parcoursup and Mon Master, as well as the right to vote at age 16. Internationally, the candidate supports a position of non-alignment and calls for mutual security guarantees between all nations of Europe and Russia. He calls for global nuclear disarmament and direct action to aid Palestinians against the genocide in Gaza and the annexation of the West Bank. Finally, he commits to ensuring the independence of Kanaky if elected. In front of more than 20,000 people, Jean-Luc Mélenchon reaffirmed his refusal to moderate his rhetoric to win over voters, denouncing ten years of Macronist liberal revolution.

The public debt trajectory is expected to fall below 85% in 2027, positioning itself about four percentage points below what was agreed with the European Commission. The government emphasizes that the economy is growing above the European Union average, allowing for the largest increase in real wages since joining the euro, with a cumulative growth of 10% between 2024 and 2026. In the fiscal domain, the executive highlights tax reductions totaling 3.5 billion euros in personal income tax (IRS) since April 2024. The Youth IRS (IRS Jovem) was expanded to cover nearly one million young people, quadrupling the number of beneficiaries. Additionally, the exemption from IMT (Property Transfer Tax) and Stamp Duty, combined with the public guarantee, allowed more than 130,000 young people to access home ownership, solving liquidity problems and a lack of equity. The policy of valuing public administration includes the revision of 39 careers, some of which had not been updated for over 20 years, ensuring a minimum cumulative increase of 234 euros for all civil servants by 2029. The government also announced the mobilization of public assets, sending letters to municipalities for the potential transfer of 477 properties intended for new local developments. The opposition raised doubts about the budget's reliability, pointing to a worsening of the central administration deficit to 2.8% of GDP and questioning the increase in expenditure on financial assets, which reaches 19 billion euros. Proposals for the creation of a tax on large fortunes and criticisms regarding the effectiveness of IRS reductions for the lowest income brackets were also discussed. • "Ladies and gentlemen deputies, in 2027 we are heading for our fourth consecutive budget surplus, for the first time in the history of https://videos.polyfact.com/pt-parlamento-20261106-clean-1530-vod/manifest.m3u8 18273 2026-11-06 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/pt-parlamento-20261106-clean-1530-live 2026-11-06 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/pt-parlamento-20261106-clean-1530-live/20261106210025/1280.jpg Audição do Ministro de Estado e das Finanças Audição do Ministro de Estado e das Finanças, Joaquim Miranda Sarmento, no âmbito da apreciação, na especialidade, do Orçamento do Estado para 2027, com participação do Secretário de Estado Adjunto e do Orçamento, José Maria Brandão de Brito, da Secretária de Estado dos Assuntos Fiscais, Cláudia Reis Duarte, do Secretário de Estado do Tesouro e Finanças, João Silva Lopes, e da Secretária de Estado da Administração Pública, Marisa Garrido https://videos.polyfact.com/pt-parlamento-20261106-clean-1530-live/manifest.m3u8 20259 2026-11-06 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/19687869_6aede4a705068-vod 2026-11-07 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/19687869_6aede4a705068-vod/20261107040012/1280.jpg Éco-organismes et Éco-contributions - Présentation du rapport d'information Presentation of the information report on eco-organizations and eco-contributions France produces 350 million tons of waste annually. The system is based on the responsibility of the market participant, who finances eco-organizations through eco-contributions to manage the end-of-life of products. These funds, which are constantly growing, could reach 5 billion euros by 2030. However, the system is considered to be running out of steam because the results are not meeting expectations, particularly in the textile and construction sectors. The report highlights that repair, reuse, and eco-design are still too weakly implemented. To remedy these shortcomings, three major proposals are put forward: guaranteeing the environmental return on every euro invested, shifting to a culture of results with credible sanctions, and recognizing the value of waste. Finally, waste management is presented as the starting point for a true circular economy linked to national sovereignty. It is recommended to seize this opportunity to establish a real industrial strategy for France, particularly in a context where the import of raw materials is difficult. • "The assessment is clear. Financial resources are increasingly significant and could reach 5 billion by 2030. Does that mean the results are being achieved? Well, no. For several reasons" (Unknown speaker, 00:43) • "Repair, reuse, and eco-design are still only weakly implemented and therefore do not allow for the achievement of results, yet these are the best tools to reach the objectives.

Gasparri defines Biscardi as an innovator in the field of information and a master of journalism who created a style, involving figures from sports, society, and politics in heated debates. A posthumous victory for Biscardi is identified in the VAR. With the 'moviola' (slow-motion replay) and the 'moviolone' (large-screen replay), he was a forerunner in the search for on-field evidence to verify match incidents. Although margins of doubt remain, the VAR is considered an evolution of that search for reliable verification promoted by Biscardi. The documentary is described as a due act by RAI to remember a protagonist of sports journalism. Gasparri emphasizes how 'Il Processo del Lunedì' characterized an era, creating a large community that gathered around screens before the era of platforms. • "So the occasion is known to those present and it is the presentation of this documentary for which we thank RAI. Dr. De Pevignano, the director of Rai Documentari, is here for having taken this initiative. And so Antonella and Maurizio were certainly the promoters of this moment of remembrance, and Antonella in particular repeatedly urged RAI's attention. I must say I gladly associated myself with this intent because Aldo Biscardi was an innovator in the field of information. Sometimes someone even criticized him because the debates were heated, and it is true" (Maurizio Gasparri, 00:00) • "And so RAI, which had in Aldo Biscardi a reference point for very long seasons, a master of journalism, trained many people, created a style. And a posthumous victory of his is that of the VAR.

Moldova's prime minister has called the visit a provocation and announced restrictions on future travel for Krasnoselsky. The Commission reiterates unwavering support for the independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity of the Republic of Moldova within its internationally recognized borders. It remains committed to a peaceful, comprehensive, and lasting settlement of the Transnistrian conflict. Russia officially committed at the 1999 OSCE Istanbul summit to the withdrawal of its troops from the Transnistrian region.

This payment is part of a broader objective to reach €45 billion in funding by the end of the year under a €90 billion program. Currently, about €20 billion remains available for disbursement this year. Unlocking the remaining funding depends on the reform agenda. Intervenant 4 stated that while there is positive momentum and good progress, it is important to keep up the pace of reforms to meet the target. The determination to reach the €45 billion goal remains, though much hinges on these reforms. Looking ahead, the Commission has adopted a financing strategy for next year which has been sent to the Council. This strategy sets out a structure for the upcoming year, calculating approximately €30 to €32 billion for defense, with the remainder allocated for budget support. • « Indeed, what is important is that the reform agenda is moving forward now, and that's very important. We welcome that and it is important to keep up the pace and continue the momentum of reforms. Now, because of this, yesterday, as you say, we were able to disperse about 4.4 billion euro to Ukraine mainly for budget support purposes, but also for defense, but there is more in the pipeline, indeed. We have about 20 billion euro under the 90 billion program, which is still available this year and it's important to carry on with the reforms so that we can unlock the remaining funding, which remains the objective.

While the Commission acts as a regulator with rules for aviation security, such as the screening of passengers and cargo, the main responsibility to investigate these security threats rests with the member states. The Commission is currently in touch with the European Aviation Safety Agency to determine if these threats impact aviation safety. To manage the situation, Commissioner Tzitzikostas has activated the EU-level information sharing mechanism. This platform, chaired by the European Commission, allows member states to exchange information and provides the Commission with full visibility of the events. The Commission remains in close contact with national authorities to gather information on the ongoing situation. Regarding claims of responsibility for the attacks, the Commission stated it cannot provide an assessment or comment on the genuineness of such claims. It maintains that it does not have an investigative role, as looking into threats is the competence of national authorities rather than the Commission. • « We take these threats very seriously. Any threats against civilians are absolutely unacceptable and it is our pri- top priority to secure the and ensure the safety and security of our citizens. So, what we are doing in these situations where the main responsibility to investigate and look into these matters rests with the member states is that we are in touch, for example, with our European Aviation Safety Agency which looks into the safety, aviation safety aspects, and whether these security threats might have any impact on aviation safety where they can take action.

This office will be located inside the Commission and will manage the entire economic sanctions life cycle, including policy design, outreach, implementation, and circumvention. The goal is to provide member states with quicker access to guidance, data sharing, and technical analysis to harmonize enforcement and maximize the impact on Russia. Additionally, Commissioner Albuquerque announced the creation of an informal task force on crypto sanctions. This group will bring together expertise from the Commission and member states to address crypto as a tool used to circumvent sanctions. The initiative aims to design measures that close loopholes in this fast-evolving sector. These developments occur as the EU works on its 22nd sanctions package, following four years of war and 21 previous packages. The measures are part of a broader effort to exert maximum pressure on Russia and strengthen the approach to sanctions enforcement as outlined in the State of the Union letter of intent. • « So that's why yesterday we announced at the meeting the high-level meeting of sanctions coordinators the creation of this new sanctions office inside the Commission that will bring together the Commission's work on the entire economic sanctions life cycle, so from policy design to outreach, implementation, and of course, circumvention.

The institution considers that TikTok must change the design of its 'For You' feed, disable watch time and views as indicators for recommendations, and rely on explicit user choices. TikTok will have access to the investigation file to defend itself and offer commitments. If dialogue is not effective, a non-compliance decision could lead to a fine based on the gravity and duration of the breach. Regarding financial support, the Commission disbursed approximately 4.4 billion euro to Ukraine for budget support and defense. This is part of an effort to reach 45 billion euro by the end of the year under the loan. Additionally, the Commission hosted talks involving delegations from Germany, France, the UK, the United States, NATO, and the World Bank to secure a sustainable peace for Ukraine, though it noted a long way to go depends on the willingness of the aggressor. To streamline economic measures, a new sanctions office is being created inside the Commission to bring together work on the entire economic sanctions life cycle. In the aviation sector, the EU-level information sharing mechanism has been activated following threats against aircraft. While the Commission ensures safety coordination, the investigation of specific threats remains the responsibility of national authorities. Other regulatory matters include ongoing cooperation with Alphabet following a non-compliance decision in July. The Commission is also assessing a letter from 26 MEPs regarding safeguards on electrical steel imports, which reportedly raise costs for European transformer manufacturers. Finally, the Commission reiterated support for the territorial integrity of the Republic of Moldova. • « At this stage, we consider that TikTok must change the design of its 'For You' feed in Europe, disable watch time and views as indicators to recommend content, rely on users' https://videos.polyfact.com/I-297338-vod/manifest.m3u8 2399 2026-11-06 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/I-296814-vod 2026-11-06 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/I-296814-vod/20261106120101/1280.jpg European Commissioner Michael MCGRATH at the EU-Western Balkans Ministerial Forum on Justice and EU-Western Balkans Ministerial Forum on Justice and Home Affairs in Budva **Rule of law and merit-based accession** « As the EU's enlargement policy requires putting fundamentals first, today's justice session covered topics that are essential to EU accession » — Michael McGrath « The independence, quality, and efficiency of justice systems and the anti-corruption framework are two pillars of the Commission's rule of law report, because they are fundamental to safeguarding and upholding the rule of law » — Michael McGrath « the Commission will continue to support our Western Balkan partners in strengthening these fundamentals on their path along the merit-based accession process » — Michael McGrath « I zbog toga su ove teme neslučajno sastavni dio najvažnijih poglavlja 23 i 24, poglavlja bez kojih nema potvrde postojanja visokih standarda vladavine prava u nekoj državi » — Intervenant 7 **Combatting corruption and organized crime** « Our discussions today focused on strengthening efforts to prevent and combat particularly in vulnerable sectors through judicial reforms, stronger rule of law, and effective action against links between corruption and organized crime » — Intervenant 13 « We highlighted the importance of maintaining a strong record of investigations, prosecutions, convictions, and asset confiscation including in high-level cases » — Intervenant 13 « A kada je riječ o konkretnim zaključcima sa ovog foruma, u posebno na posebnom mjestu naše pažnje bila su borba protiv korupcije i zaštita prava djeteta » — Intervenant 7 **Child-friendly justice and protection of child victims** « We discussed support for child victims of violence and crime, improving the use of electronic evidence in cases of online child sexual abuse, and enhancing cooperation in cross-border investigations » — Intervenant 14 « reinforcing child-friendly justice and the protection of child victims; and updating criminal justice frameworks to address all forms of child sexual abuse and exploitation » — Michael McGrath « The EU-Western https://videos.polyfact.com/I-296814-vod/manifest.m3u8 1127 2026-11-06 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/20261106-1135-SPECIAL-OTHER-vod 2026-11-06 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/20261106-1135-SPECIAL-OTHER-vod/20261106123033/1280.jpg Official visit to Warsaw (Poland) - Roberta METSOLA, EP President receives the Jan Karski Award on European Parliament President Roberta Metsola receives the Jan Karski Eagle Award in Warsaw **Jan Karski Eagle Award and its mission** « Nagroda Orła Jana Karskiego jest jedyną, jaką sam i tylko w swoim imieniu ustanowił za życia profesor Jan Karski.

He reports that illegal migration to the European Union has decreased by 55% over the last two years, with a further one-third reduction this year. Specific routes have seen major declines, including a 95% drop on the Western Balkan route and an 80% drop on the Western African and Central Mediterranean routes. Member states such as Sweden, Denmark, Austria, and Germany are recording significantly lower asylum application numbers. The new legal framework is now being applied by all member states, involving stronger border protection and faster procedures. Those arriving illegally are apprehended, screened, and registered in the new Eurodac database. The Entry/Exit System also applies to those arriving legally. These reforms aim to restore control, prevent system abuse, and ensure swifter returns for those with no right to stay, while providing protection for those who need it. The second cycle report identifies which member states face significant migratory situations and will have access to solidarity. Under the new rules, no member state is left alone. Contributing member states can choose to provide support through financial contributions, offsets, or relocation. This system is designed to ensure that responsibility and solidarity go hand in hand to build trust between member states and with citizens. • « Thank you very much and good morning to everyone. Yeah, as you said, we're launching today the second annual migration management cycle.

The event highlighted the importance of recognizing the identity of territories and the role of the Pro Loco in bringing communities to life through traditions and history. The Pro Loco's work includes organizing the Fiera Franca, local festivals, and various initiatives that bring people together in small villages. A central theme of the book and the discussion is the transumanza (transhumance), which was recognized in 2019 as part of the UNESCO intangible cultural heritage of humanity. Speakers emphasized that for the local territory, this is a concrete reality rather than just an international recognition. It represents a passage between generations, as seen in young people who continue family traditions and assume responsibility for the future of this work. The book itself tells a fantasy story set in a fictional town called Galzago, based on the real Gazzo. It follows five young people from different backgrounds, including an immigrant from India and a visually impaired girl named Nora, as they experience the transumanza. The narrative captures the journey to the mountains, the encounter with austere older malgari (mountain herdsmen), and the traditional welcome given by mayors to the transumanti (herdsmen).

The government forecasts revenue of 53.2 billion euros, an increase of 6.7% compared to 2026, driven by contributions and quotas resulting from good employment levels and better wages. The Social Security Stabilization Fund is expected to reach 58.5 billion euros, equivalent to 17.2% of GDP, guaranteeing the payment of more than two and a half years of pensions. In the labour market, the minimum wage will rise to 970 euros in 2027, as part of a 34% increase trajectory over the legislative term. The government states that the country is experiencing full employment, with an unemployment rate of 5.5%. However, criticisms persist regarding the maintenance of low wages and the impact of inflation and housing on household income. The implementation of the Single Social Benefit (PSU) is presented as the biggest structural reform of the Social State, integrating 13 benefits to combat poverty. The government highlights that the risk of poverty has fallen to its lowest level in the last 20 years. At the same time, the budget provides for increases in parental benefits, which rise by 31.7%, and in the informal caregiver allowance, with an increase of 21%. Social responses include extending the informal caregiver status to non-family members and creating respite care vacancies. In the area of childhood, the government mentions the addition of 20,000 nursery places in two years. Questions about the future sustainability of the system and the effectiveness of fraud oversight, which identified more than 7,500 risk cases in 2026, also marked the debate. • « Its sole purpose is the hearing of the Minister of Labour, Solidarity and Social Security within the scope of the specialized assessment of the Government's Bill No. 110, State Budget for 2027 » (Rui Afonso, 00:21) • « On employment: raise the minimum wage to 970 euros, https://videos.polyfact.com/pt-parlamento-20261106-clean-0900-vod/manifest.m3u8 18426 2026-11-06 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/it-camera-32750-live 2026-11-06 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/it-camera-32750-live/20261106174520/1280.jpg Covid, seguito audizione Speranza Alle ore 10.30, presso l'Aula del II piano di Palazzo San Macuto, la Commissione parlamentare di inchiesta sulla gestione dell'emergenza sanitaria causata dalla diffusione epidemica del virus sars-cov-2 e sulle misure adottate per prevenire e affrontare l'emergenza epidemiologica da sars-cov-2 svolge l'audizione del deputato Roberto Speranza, già Ministro della Salute. https://videos.polyfact.com/it-camera-32750-live/manifest.m3u8 2026-11-06 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/it-camera-32750-vod 2026-11-06 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/it-camera-32750-vod/20261106180030/1280.jpg Covid, seguito audizione Speranza Covid Inquiry Commission: Hearing of former Minister Roberto Speranza on vaccines and emergency management Former Minister of Health Roberto Speranza defended the government's vaccination strategy, calling it the "game changer" of the pandemic and claiming credit for the choice of joint purchasing at the European level through the Joint Procurement Agreement. Speranza specified that Italy acquired 13.46% of the total doses and that the contracts were managed by the European Commission, not the Italian Ministry of Health. He also emphasized that, according to a study by the Istituto Superiore di Sanità (National Institute of Health), the campaign saved over 150,000 lives in one year. Regarding pharmacovigilance, Speranza clarified that active and passive surveillance was entrusted to AIFA, rejecting accusations of a lack of monitoring. He admitted that passive pharmacovigilance has a powerful capillary reach, while acknowledging that spontaneous reports may have underestimated adverse effects. On vaccine safety, he reiterated that decisions were based on the opinions of scientists from the Technical Scientific Committee (CTS) and the authorizations of the EMA, which positively evaluated the risk-benefit ratio. On the topic of closures and the failure to establish a red zone in Alzano and Nembro, the former Minister recalled that the Bergamo investigation concluded with a dismissal. He explained that the decision to move from local micro-interventions to general measures such as the DPCM (Prime Ministerial Decrees) and the lockdown was taken to address the emergency with more robust tools, following the guidance of scientists. Speranza claimed to have always acted by placing the right to health and the lives of people above any other interest. Finally, issues related to monoclonal antibodies and alleged free donations were discussed. Speranza denied having obstructed clinical trials, attributing the delays in the use of such drugs to an objective slowdown by the EMA compared to the speed shown for vaccines.

Enrico Costa announces the creation of a working group for a manifesto of the 'garantisti' (proponents of due process) to be submitted to political forces, emphasizing how norms for a fair trial and dignified prison treatment require long gestation periods. The critical issue of prison overcrowding is highlighted, which has reached an average of 142.6% with peaks of 230% at San Vittore. Regarding reforms, Antonio Tajani and Pierantonio Zanettin reiterate their commitment to the separation of careers between judging and prosecuting magistrates, despite the outcome of the previous referendum. Forza Italia's bill to overcome the suspension of the statute of limitations after the first-instance verdict is also presented, eliminating the Bonafede and Cartabia reforms. Francesco Paolo Sisto recalls the concept of minimum criminal law to limit the use of the trial to what is strictly necessary. The debate addresses the phenomenon of judicial voyeurism and the media coverage of trials, which turns the suspect into a guilty party before the final judgment. Participants denounce the abuse of wiretaps, defining the listening to conversations between lawyer and client as unacceptable. Finally, the case of Beniamino Zuncheddu is cited as a symbol of judicial errors in Italy, having served 33 years in prison as an innocent man. • « Net of the inevitable excesses typical of any semantic simplification, the contrast between two cultures, that of the primacy of guarantees and individual rights, the 'garantista' one, and that of the primacy of the State's punitive power, the 'giustizialista' one, marks and runs through the entire history of modern legal thought » (Enrico Costa, 02:22) • « From this day a working group will be born, directed by Giandomenico Caiazza, to create a manifesto of the 'garantisti' that https://videos.polyfact.com/it-camera-32793-vod/manifest.m3u8 26253 2026-11-06 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/20261106-1000-SPECIAL-OTHER-vod 2026-11-06 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/20261106-1000-SPECIAL-OTHER-vod/20261106101528/1280.jpg Official visit to Warsaw (Poland) - Address by Roberta Metsola, EP President to the Polish Sejm Address by Roberta Metsola to the Polish Sejm on European Union cooperation **Income and economy in Poland** « In a single generation, income per person in Poland has grown more than eight-fold.

The initiative promotes 55 routes in as many municipalities across 15 Italian regions, for a total of 512 km of brand-new paths. A significant new feature is its recognition as a 'Path of Europe,' which opens a space for dialogue on the enlargement of the European Union directly with local communities. The goal is to enhance the excellence of Made in Italy through inclusive paths that focus on secondary destinations. This model aims to offer alternatives to major art cities, where 75% of foreign tourists are concentrated on just 4% of the territory. The project also integrates religious tourism, with the St. Michael's Line crossing nine regions, and thermal tourism, including sites such as the ancient Terme di Suio and the Terme Luigiane. The Pro Loco system is identified as the tourism engine of the territories and a privileged partner for representing local resources. The initiative aims to professionalize this system by providing support from professionals and introducing roles such as the destination manager. International relationships have also been established in Albania, Serbia, and Greece to promote Italian products and hospitality models. • « Press conference for the presentation of the Agroarcheotrekking 4.0 project, inclusive paths in the heart of Made in Italy.

In 2025, 1,189 deaths were recorded, confirming the difficulty of falling below the threshold of 1,000 cases per year. The total cost of workplace accidents and occupational diseases for the Italian system is estimated at 49 billion euros, equal to 2.3% of the national GDP. While accidents have shown a ten-year decline, occupational diseases are continuously rising, exceeding 98,000 cases in 2025. The evaluation of INAIL's ISI calls for tenders demonstrates that these non-repayable incentives drastically reduce the accident rate in funded companies. In parallel, the analysis of inspections highlights that surprise checks reduce the rate and cost of accidents in the long term, without generating negative impacts on business performance. In 2025, total inspections by INAIL, INPS, and the Labor Inspectorate increased by 10% compared to the pre-Covid period. New strategies include the introduction of a credit-based license for construction sites, which provides for deductions or suspensions but also rewards for those who invest in safety. Experts emphasize the need to shift from a reactive to a predictive approach, using statistical models to identify high-risk areas and improve the targeting of public resources. The issue of governance remains central, given the plurality of entities involved and the complexity of the subcontracting chain. • « The total cost we estimated in 2023 is equal to 49 billion euros for all accidents, so this is the cost not only for companies, but also for the Italian system, therefore all the costs that fall on society, 2.3% of the national GDP » (Speaker 5, 39:46) • « We reached 1,189 deaths in 2025 and, alas, we still cannot break through this wall of 1,000 deaths every year » (Speaker 5, 31:36) • « In summary, what can we conclude?

This includes hybrid threats such as disinformation, cyber elements, and acts of sabotage in Germany, Poland, and Estonia. With the United States shifting toward the Indo-Pacific, Europe must take primary responsibility for its own defense. This shift toward European collective defense requires a financial, industrial, and intellectual Big Bang to develop readiness. Industrial capacity remains a concern, as contracts for air and missile defense equipment are being signed for '28 and '29. Meanwhile, Ukraine needs to produce around 30,000 drones per day to match Russia. While the EPF was indispensable for incentivizing military hardware provision, further coordination is needed to support NATO as the main guarantee for collective defense. The security environment has already been transformed by Sweden and Finland joining NATO. Current peacetime doctrines and decision-making based on consensus are no longer fit for purpose. Proposals include reviving the idea of a European Security Council and operationalizing Article 42.7 as suggested by the Niinistö report. Enhancing resilience against hybrid threats and resolving issues like military Schengen are essential for mutual assistance. The European Union can provide established instruments to manage economic, social, and humanitarian crises during a major conflict. • « if Russia and China would decide at the same time to start some kind of you know major war aggression, United States will not be able to cover both front lines.

The measure is estimated to raise about A$4.5 billion a year, and critics argue it burdens small business. Liberal senator Jane Hume asked whether it was a revenue-raising exercise. Berger-Thomson, first assistant secretary of the Individuals and Indirect Tax and Superannuation Division, said: "It does raise revenue. I don't think we're going to shy away from that. It's very clear that there is revenue raised from this measure". Treasury assistant secretary Emma Gabrielson said around 40% of the estimated revenue is expected to come from trusts that are in business. Hume asked for dollar breakdowns by sector and business size; officials said they would provide numbers on notice. The committee asked for responses by Tuesday 10 November 2026. ### Treasury defends 12-day consultation Berger-Thomson defended a 12-business-day consultation on the bill's draft legislation. Hume said the period was short for complex law and that the bill seemed rushed through. Berger-Thomson said the legislation was out for 12 business days, after an earlier consultation paper of 18 business days. She said 12 days was a small subset of time spent consulting and that consultation was continuing. ### Revenue estimate falls by A$140 million Treasury's Emma Gabrielson confirmed that estimated revenue from the measure fell from A$4.47 billion at budget to A$4.33 billion in the explanatory memorandum, as Greens senator Nick McKim put it. She said the difference was "primarily attributable to the policy refinements around mitigating the impact of the minimum tax on charitable giving and exempting genuine testamentary trusts from the minimum tax."

He denounces the attitude of certain political leaders and the mayor of Saint-Denis, believing that such behaviors do not serve the fundamental interest of France. The speaker also criticizes the reactions of the left after the Trappes attack, where a man killed a 26-year-old and wounded a young girl. He accuses these movements of issuing fatwas against journalists and political leaders. Faced with what he describes as discourse advocating civil war, he calls on the French people to be wary during this period of uncertainty. Finally, La France Insoumise is described as a movement that fights everything that resembles France. According to the statements made, this political movement, although capable of qualifying for the second round of the presidential election, does not love the country. • "and who is inhabited by a totalitarian temptation.

Food: "no added sugar" products, really? **Confusion between no added sugar and no sugar at all** "Hello Aurélie Giraud. Hello Frédéric. You are doing your shopping and you choose a product labeled no added sugar, light, or even naturally sweet. On paper, it seems quite reassuring, but when you look at what it really contains, sometimes there is reason to be surprised, Aurélie. What is wrong?" — Speaker 1 "Well, what is wrong is that people often confuse no added sugar with no sugar at all, and yet they have nothing to do with each other. Take applesauce with no added sugar; the manufacturer has indeed not added sugar, but the apples contain it naturally. And this confusion is not trivial. Consumed in excess, sugar poses serious health problems: cavities, overweight, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases. The World Health Organization advises not to exceed 25 g of so-called free sugars per day for an adult." — Speaker 5 **European regulations and reassuring labels** "But then, what exactly do all these labels mean?" — Speaker 3 "Well, they are governed by European regulations. No sugar means almost zero sugar, less than half a gram per 100 g of product. Reduced sugar, the product must contain 30% less sugar than the standard recipe, but be careful, that does not mean it is low in sugar. And then there are all these labels that reassure: natural, with honey, with agave syrup, but honey and agave syrup are still sugar, even if they are of natural origin." — Speaker 5 **World Health Organization recommendations** "And 25 g, I can tell you Frédéric that it is not much, it is the equivalent of 6 teaspoons of sugar. With a single can of soda, you already exceed the recommended maximum." — Speaker 4 "Well, first reflex: turn the packaging over and look for the carbohydrates line, of which sugars.

The initial project, conceived in the 1990s, planned to extend the A680 to Castres. In 2023, the State was initially set to invest €41 million to guarantee a rate of €17. However, the Council of State issued an unfavorable opinion, deeming that the proposed contract risked being illegal. This reversal led the executive branch to change its mind two weeks before the opening. Some stakeholders insist on the necessity of this road infrastructure to open up the south of the department and are calling for an affordable rate. The executive's position is criticized by those who believe that in politics, one must keep their word when announcing a price reduction. • "€20.40, the Toulouse-Castres round trip, that is the price to pay to drive on the A69 which has just opened.

He criticizes a stance that he claims sides with delinquents, citing a victim-accuser inversion linked to the 'Baudot harangue'.

The idea consists of integrating police commissioners and gendarmes into the 'tour extérieur' (external recruitment), as is practiced in other administrations, in order to diversify profiles within the institution. • "We must ban the Syndicat de la magistrature because it pollutes everything.

The text is therefore sent directly to the Senate in its original version. Matthias Renault describes this unanimous rejection as a "drubbing for Macronism," while Ian Brossat believes the government is incapable of getting a budget passed by its own group. In the Senate, the right-wing and centrist majority wishes to reinstate the pension reform to age 64. Olivier Henno argues that people must work more because the population is living longer. Conversely, Ian Brossat points out that a worker today produces more wealth than in the early 80s and opposes the freezing of retirement pensions. Matthias Renault advocates for a fair reform based on the age at which one begins their career. Regarding fiscal policy, the National Rally and the Communists agree on lowering fuel taxes, notably via a 5.5% VAT. Ian Brossat denounces a 30% reduction in the contribution of large companies alongside a levy on the middle classes. Matthias Renault criticizes the level of compulsory levies and calls for reducing the state's lifestyle and expenditures related to immigration and the European Union. The future of the text could be decided by recourse to Article 49.3 or by ordinance. Ian Brossat states that his group will vote for a motion of no confidence if one is presented.

The Minister of Transport, Philippe Tabarot, visited the scene. An investigation has been opened for road homicide, a qualification stemming from a 2025 law that remains a misdemeanor because intent is lacking. The potential penalty can reach 10 years in cases involving the consumption of alcohol and cannabis. The minister announced the generalization of drug tests for drivers starting at the beginning of the school year. A bill, passed in the Senate, provides for the introduction of mandatory saliva tests and "stupotest" ignition interlock devices starting in September 2029. Currently, breathalyzers already prevent starting the vehicle in the event of a positive result. The company involved had undergone 106 inspections since 2024, suggesting that the equipment was in good condition. The investigation will examine the driver's duty logs, the recorded speed, and the condition of the road. Although seat belts are mandatory, the driver does not have the means to verify if all passengers have fastened them. Despite this tragedy, coach transport remains statistically much safer than individual road transport. This mode of transport provides fine-grained coverage of the territory where the implementation of regional trains is not considered relevant by the region. • "This one is particularly tragic because it involves the death of a 7-year-old girl, that is what Minister Philippe Tabarot, who is on-site in this town of Lent, has just revealed to us" (Unknown speaker, 04:22) • "an investigation is opened for road homicide, which is a novelty in the legislative arsenal, since the law has existed since 2025" (Speaker 1, 02:08) • "He also announces the generalization, starting at the beginning of the school year, of drug tests for drivers who get into these buses" (Speaker 2, 00:00) • "statistically, coach transport remains much, much safer than road https://www.youtube.com/embed/6TbwrLi0Q94 867 2026-11-06 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/6hSH6JJmXOQ 2026-11-06 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/6hSH6JJmXOQ/hqdefault.jpg Colère sociale: Laurent Nuñez indique que "70.000 effectifs" seront à nouveau mobilisés demain Laurent Nuñez's security plan for the following day's demonstrations **Assessment of previous demonstrations** "First, I would like to take advantage of this short press briefing to look back at yesterday, which, as I remind you, brought together 575,000 protesters across France" — Unknown speaker "We had 642 arrests yesterday as part of this day, and I unfortunately regret 112 injuries among the internal security forces" — Unknown speaker "On the other hand, I want to reiterate again that obviously a certain number of individuals belonging in particular to ultra-left, radicalized extreme-left movements, and radicalized activists, sought in many places to make these processions degenerate" — Unknown speaker "A special mention perhaps for Toulouse where, quite surprisingly, it is the only city where this happened, the inter-union collective did not respect the route that had been set by the prefect" — Unknown speaker "But the violence they had to face forces me to point it out this evening, and to report the incidents that occurred in particular in Lyon in front of the Édouard Herriot high school, where a fire was started" — Unknown speaker "in Lyon, we had a police commander who was isolated, thrown to the ground, and violently assaulted, I even use the term lynching, by about ten individuals" — Unknown speaker **Operational plan and doctrine** "But in summary, as you have understood, we are renewing exactly the same plan as yesterday and as on October 24 and October 31" — Unknown speaker "Regarding the operational doctrine, it remains exactly the same, that is to say, it is an operational doctrine where we will carry out numerous checks upstream on road traffic, on traffic on rail axes, and in stations" — Unknown speaker "We are also mobilizing our Centaures, the 25 Gendarmerie Centaures, the 15 water cannon vehicles, which will be, which are mobilized and which have been distributed throughout the national territory" — Unknown speaker "We expect perhaps a little more spontaneous, undeclared actions.

France's debt has now reached 3.6 trillion euros, or 119% of GDP, which requires efforts according to some speakers. In this context, the government is preparing a social conference to put unions back at the center of the game. Regarding the level of remuneration, the CFDT is requesting an increase of €100 net per month for the more than 2 million workers on minimum wage. Jean-Pierre Farandou mentions the importance of crossing the €1,500 net threshold, with the current level being €1,477. However, Erwan Tison points out that 50% of the French population is already within a range of only €400. Economist Erwan Tison specifies that the minimum wage has increased by 37% over the last 20 years, compared to only 20% for productivity. According to his economic models, each 1% increase in the minimum wage destroys 12,000 jobs. He also warns that a mechanical increase on December 1st risks crushing negotiations for other types of salaries. • "We have economic models that show that each 1% increase in the minimum wage destroys 12,000 jobs" (Erwan Tison, 08:04) • "The minimum wage has increased twice as much as productivity over the last 20 years; the minimum wage has increased by 37%, productivity by 20%" (Erwan Tison, 08:20) • "France's debt, which I remind you amounts to 3.6 trillion, 119% of GDP, so these are colossal figures, so they imply efforts" (Speaker 6, 00:39) • "Purchasing power, 54% of French people are concerned about their purchasing power; the future of the social system, 44% are concerned; the level of debt, 33%" (Speaker 4, 00:00) • "You have 50% of the French population that falls within a gap of €400.

He compares the current situation to the Titanic, where the crew argues while the ship sinks, leaving the French people helpless in the face of this spectacle. He calls for the formation of a "Team France" capable of carrying a recovery project with courage, by setting aside personal egos.

Addictions France denounces the offensive by alcohol brands on social media The association Addictions France is warning about an offensive by alcohol brands on social media, describing it as a weapon of mass propagation. This organized system relies on disguised advertisements and paid influencers to generate traffic and money for platforms, to the detriment of young people's health. The association counts, for example, 655 pieces of content for a single liqueur brand. The content broadcast associates alcohol with parties, conviviality, and entertainment, using festive visual codes and drinking games to encourage consumption. These practices violate the Évin Law, which normally prohibits associating alcohol with youth or a festive atmosphere. Young people are thus exposed to sponsored events and advertisements for beer or hard liquor. Faced with this situation, Addictions France is calling for a ban on alcohol promotion on the internet. The association recommends amending the Évin Law, emphasizing that this text was enacted at a time when social media did not yet exist. • "This alert now on the offensive of alcohol brands on social media.

This movement brings together silent French citizens who are expressing their fed-up attitude toward the violence in protest marches and a noisy minority that forces shopkeepers to empty their stores. The gathering was confronted by about a hundred far-left protesters who came to boo La Marseillaise and sing The Internationale. Although protesting is a regulated constitutional right, the speaker questions how long these disruptions, which annoy those who think differently, will have to be tolerated. The economic situation is considered critical in Orléans. Protests that block city life risk putting people out of work and preventing shopkeepers from working. The speaker describes this situation as unbearable. • "It was exactly that, and we were not surprised but pleasantly noted that there were a lot of people, at least 800 people who showed up, silent French people, French people who are effectively fed up with the violence in the marches, who are fed up with seeing shopkeepers forced to empty their shops because there are protests, fed up with having to hide because a noisy, even vociferous minority, as we actually had this evening in Orléans, we gathered peacefully, quietly" (Unknown speaker, 00:00) • "First of all, it is a constitutional right, again, that we are going to annoy shopkeepers from being able to work.

The first steps consist of securing the area and stabilizing the site, particularly the vehicle. The firefighters of Ain are trained in these specific topics. Once inside the vehicle, the rescue teams proceed with triage. The priorities are managing massive hemorrhages, the emergency extraction of victims in cardiorespiratory arrest, and stopping compression for trapped individuals. The intervention continues with progressive extrication. This work of restoring space and cutting constitutes a large-scale operation. In some cases, mobilizing vehicles for relocation is necessary to extract the victims. • "And afterwards, it is the integration of firefighters into the vehicle to perform triage. This triage is first about managing massive hemorrhages. It is first about urgently extracting victims in cardiorespiratory arrest. And completing or stopping compression for victims who are trapped. Those are the three major steps for us, the firefighters" (Unknown speaker, 00:45) • "And following that, to begin a progressive extrication. Our work is to restore volume and to cut.

He criticizes the late organization of a social conference, often perceived as a way to dampen demands, and emphasizes that maintaining order does not mean security has been restored, as indicators remain in the red. The National Rally proposes increasing salaries by 10% up to three times the minimum wage (Smic) in exchange for a freeze on employer contributions.

Marine Le Pen is set to present corrective measures on November 17 to avoid putting citizens in difficulty. Regarding the budget, Sébastien Chenu denounces an increase in public spending and the absence of structural reforms, making this budget unbearable for the French people. He also recalls that his group successfully voted for the end of the CVEC tax to restore purchasing power to students. Finally, he mentions Marine Le Pen's desire to form a national unity government to turn the country around. • "All the bills are coming due at the same time for the 10 years of the Macron government.

On one side are those who wish to design a new country based on the emergence of territories described as Islamistan and Wokistan, marking the junction between the Arab street and the Rue Saint-Guillaume. On the other side, the proponents of eternal France wish to save the France of always and maintain the bond between the living and the dead. They refuse to let the historic French people become a minority on their own territory.

Recruitment of the 150-citizen panel for the Citizens' Convention on Public Finances The CESE has commissioned the service providers Toluna Harris Interactive and Le Terrain to organize the random selection of 150 citizens. These participants are contacted via randomly generated phone numbers to take part in seven weekends of work. The goal is to form a sample that is illustrative of the diversity of the French population, taking into account gender, age, social category, and geographical location. The recruitment teams present the process to the citizens to reassure them about the organization and their freedom of speech. Even if they do not initially feel legitimate, participants are invited to contribute their part to the project. Their discussions will help develop scenarios for change regarding the subject of public finances. This approach is intended to lead to a final opinion aimed at informing public debate.

Faced with this scale, the government is called upon to act without waiting for the next electoral deadlines. The CFDT reaffirms its commitment to defending the fundamental freedom of the right to demonstrate and secure career paths. Regarding demands, the CFDT is calling for a €100 net monthly increase in the minimum wage (SMIC) to create a shock effect in terms of purchasing power. This measure is considered necessary to allow full-time employees to live with dignity on their wages, as making ends meet is becoming increasingly difficult. The issue of employer responsibility is also raised, particularly concerning the use of public aid and contribution exemptions granted to companies. Finally, an increase in the minimum wage must serve as a trigger to initiate salary negotiations across all branches and sectors of activity. • "The CFDT is asking for a €100 net increase in the monthly minimum wage, because I think we need a real shock in terms of purchasing power and to truly allow people to live with dignity" (Unknown speaker, 01:49) • "575,000 protesters in the streets of France yesterday according to the Ministry of the Interior, more than on October 17th.

He particularly points to the "majoritarian fact" as a tragedy of French democracy, unique in Europe. This situation fuels a distrust marked by the feeling of a lack of checks and balances and the rejection of certain votes, such as the blank vote which is not counted in the majority. To regenerate the system, the speakers advocate for the institutionalization of citizen participation. The experience of citizens' conventions is cited as proof that citizens, once informed, are capable of dealing with complex issues and producing strong proposals, such as the law on the end of life. Léa Balage El Mariky also supports the introduction of a citizen-initiated referendum, provided it does not infringe on human dignity. The engagement of young people and their education in democratic life constitute another major lever. While some deplore a lack of knowledge about the role of elected officials, Erwan Balanant speaks in favor of voting at 16 to value the vitality of youth. Finally, the issue of social parity and the fight against barriers linked to inequalities is raised to encourage broader engagement from the population. • "Never has the gap appeared so wide between citizens and those who govern them. Distrust of the political class and institutions has continued to grow" (Speaker 8, 00:00) • "that means it works and that means the best way to regenerate the democratic fact, to refound democracy, is to call upon citizen participation by institutionalizing it and by transforming our Constitution" (Mr. Erwan Balanant, 45:26) • "the majoritarian fact, and that is the tragedy of our democracy, and I remind you, I tell you, you know it, we are the only country in Europe to still operate on the majoritarian fact" (Mr. Erwan Balanant, 11:54) • "what is interesting https://www.youtube.com/embed/CQ2qEjdw-TY 3777 2026-11-06 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/CWpSSbrWsRs 2026-11-06 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/CWpSSbrWsRs/hqdefault.jpg Riconoscersi nella debolezza - Narrationes Petri, 10 novembre 2026 2026-11-10 18:41 Martedì 10 novembre 2026, alle ore 19:00, presso l’Altare della Cattedra della Basilica di San Pietro, si terrà il secondo appuntamento di Narrationes Petri, a cura di fra Roberto Pasolini OFM Cap., predicatore della Casa Pontificia. L’incontro, dal titolo «Riconoscersi nella debolezza», accompagnerà i partecipanti nella riflessione sulla fragilità di Pietro: dall’esperienza del rinnegamento all’incontro con la misericordia di Cristo, fino alla missione di prendersi cura della comunità. Al centro della catechesi, il cammino di un uomo chiamato a confrontarsi con i propri limiti e a scoprire che il fallimento non è l’ultima parola sulla sua vita. Proprio nell’esperienza del perdono, Pietro ritrova la possibilità di rispondere all’amore del Signore e di accogliere la responsabilità pastorale che gli viene affidata. L’appuntamento si inserisce nel percorso di tre catechesi dedicato alla storia e all’umanità dell’Apostolo, proposto in occasione del IV Centenario della Dedicazione della Basilica Vaticana. https://www.youtube.com/embed/CWpSSbrWsRs 2615 2026-11-06 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/CWpSSbrWsRs-vod 2026-11-06 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/CWpSSbrWsRs/hqdefault.jpg Riconoscersi nella debolezza - Narrationes Petri, 10 novembre 2026 2026-11-10 18:41 Petri Narrations: A reflection on Peter's fragility and mercy Peter's journey begins with a call on the Sea of Galilee. Although Peter is impulsive and convinced he must give his life for his master, he must first receive the life and love of Jesus. During the Last Supper, while the disciples argue about who is the greatest, Jesus already announces Peter's mission despite his future fall. The denial in the high priest's courtyard leads Peter to discover he is forgiven. It is not the act of giving one's own life that constitutes salvation, but the fact that Jesus gives His own. By accepting to live before the gaze of the Lord rather than for the gaze of others, Peter can stop defending himself and live a new baptism through his tears.

He maintains that for a high school student who refuses to enter their school, the sanction should be immediate expulsion, with notification sent to the family. The former minister distinguishes between violence, which he describes as a sin, and force, which he considers a virtue learned in his family and military background. He clarifies that a soldier does not kill but rather neutralizes a threat, reiterating the need to oppose violence with force. • "Finally, high school students, you don't want to go into your high school, you are expelled.

These vehicles must be equipped with ignition interlock devices, which prevent the engine from starting if the breathalyzer test is failed. Other devices are mandated by law, such as seat belts, anti-rollover standards, and lane-keeping systems. The profession is described as highly regulated and monitored, particularly by the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. Companies use tachographs, which act as black boxes allowing for geolocation and real-time data transmission, enabling law enforcement to conduct remote checks. Finally, drivers are subject to regular medical monitoring. Doctors will not renew driving licenses at the slightest suspicion. These measures are intended to strictly regulate the activities of transport operators, especially for the execution of school transport services. • "So, today, contrary to what was said on the set and by the previous speaker, a lot of efforts have been made in the public passenger transport professions, an enormous amount. Here, regarding this morning's tragedy, we are talking about a coach and not a city bus. School buses are required to be equipped with ignition interlock devices. They have undergone many safety improvements over the last few years that have been mandated by law, and actually, we have almost more obligations; you made a parallel earlier with airplane pilots, we blow into a device every time we start our vehicle" (Unknown speaker, 00:00) • "Seat belts have been made mandatory in coaches, and we have a multitude, a plethora of anti-rollover standards, now lane-keeping systems; we have a plethora of equipment that has arrived and become mandatory, more precisely for the execution of school transport.

He asserts that to govern France differently, it is necessary to feel the suffering of the French people as personal suffering, while insisting on the importance of loving, respecting, and considering the citizens. The author criticizes the indifference toward the rise in violence and the plight of artisans and shopkeepers whose livelihoods are devastated. He contrasts this attitude with the passion for France that he claims. According to him, the country's history is a succession of overcome trials and resurrections. Jordan Bardella believes that France is currently reaching the end of a cycle. He offers the French people a path toward recovery and the rebirth of the nation, a prospect he deems possible if voters decide so in the coming months. • "This book, which is called 'Gouverner', which modestly tries to propose a path, is in reality a solution that we are proposing, a democratic one with Marine Le Pen, in the context of this presidential election.

According to some data, violence and material damage occupy 75% of screen time, compared to only 8% for the movement's demands. This focus is accompanied by a normative lexicon of "restoring order" and "urban violence," fueling a discourse centered on public order rather than public issues. The situation on the ground is marked by unprecedented intensity. While some highlight the extreme violence of students involved in setting fire to schools, others point to police repression and institutional violence against minors that are equally unprecedented. The distinction between a high school student and a rioter is sometimes porous, with some young people explaining their actions as social distress linked to the cost of living. Finally, the debate focuses on the politicization and responsibility of the media. The executive branch is accused of infantilizing high school students by attributing the movement to parties like La France Insoumise. At the same time, the evolution of journalistic practices, with a drop in field reporting in favor of studio debates, is said to favor the normalization of condemnable ideas and racist discourse, due to a lack of sufficient oversight. • "Violence and material damage, meaning destruction, represented 75% of what was shown, while the movement's demands were 8%" (Speaker 19, 19:27) • "It is a journalism that is entirely normative, a journalism of restoring order that ultimately fuels state discourse on the fact that we are dealing more often with problems of public order than with public issues" (Jérémie Moualek, 29:34) • "The level and severity of violence against minors who are demonstrating is completely unprecedented.

Their mission consists of taking immediate measures to preserve human life, secure the injured, and report to higher authorities in order to adjust the necessary rescue resources. On the ground, the gendarmerie works in symbiosis with firefighters and doctors, particularly to establish security cordons to prevent further accidents. To respond to so-called 'NOVI' (mass casualty) situations, exercises are organized annually with civil security partners and local authorities. This standardized plan applies to accidents, natural disasters, as well as mass killings or terrorist attacks. Each partner intervenes within their scope of responsibility, whether it concerns the command of gendarmerie operations, medical services, or extrication operations. • 'So, this system, this NOVI plan, is indeed intended for accidents, for natural disaster phenomena, but also for mass killings or terrorist attacks with... We inject additional resources into these latter situations, but the matrix remains the same, with responsibility linked to the command of gendarmerie operations, responsibilities linked to medical services, and responsibilities linked to extrication and rescue operations' (Unknown speaker, 01:17) • 'So, it is good to say it, fortunately it does not happen every day. However, quite recurrently, at least annually, exercises are set up with firefighters, with our civil security partners, with our regional, departmental, and municipal partners, precisely to respond to what we call NOVI situations, mass casualties, where everyone, within their scope of responsibility and practice, has their part to play' (Unknown speaker, 01:17) • 'The action of first responders is a decisive action, indeed, to control the situation, preserve the injured, save a maximum of human lives, and report to our chiefs what they see, what they hear, and above all what they https://www.youtube.com/embed/Gncn_MGnX-w 150 2026-11-06 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/H679CEKkfTs 2026-11-06 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/H679CEKkfTs/hqdefault.jpg Fausses alertes à la bombe : "La menace qui ne coûte rien a une efficacité maximum" (P. Romedenne) Wave of fake bomb threats in Europe: decoding a hybrid threat A wave of fake bomb threats has targeted dozens of flights and civilian infrastructure in Europe, particularly in France and Italy. Described as "10-cent terrorism," these email or phone-based attacks cost nothing but are highly effective at frightening and disrupting European airspace. Authorities cannot ignore these threats without risking liability in the event of a real danger. The radical Russian masculinist movement Male State, founded by Vladislav Pozdnyakov, is at the center of suspicions despite being officially banned in Russia in 2021. While the founder denies any link to these alerts, analysts see it as a campaign under "plausible deniability." This strategy allows Russia to signal its presence and capacity for nuisance while remaining below the threshold of a direct military response. These actions are part of a context of hybrid warfare where civilian life is targeted. They could be a response to Ukrainian drone attacks that regularly target Russian airports. By disrupting transport and the daily lives of Europeans, these maneuvers illustrate a power struggle between states where messages are sent clandestinely or through low-cost nuisance actions. • "It costs a call, an email, a threat, but there is no need to deploy millions of dollars to scare everyone; it costs nothing and has maximum effectiveness" (Unknown speaker, 03:24) • "So there is indeed a way to serve it up again in the form of a threat, which is a way of reminding Europeans that Russia is still there, that it is indeed, and I'm building on what was said, capable of disrupting the European airspace a little bit" (Unknown speaker, 06:40) • "On one hand, there is the Russian masculinist lead called Male State, which is a radical Russian masculinist movement founded in 2016 by a man named Vladislav Pozdnyakov" (Speaker 4, 00:41) • "We are trying to show Russia's potential for nuisance, perhaps, without escalating to a level where we, Europeans, would consider that, yes, well, https://www.youtube.com/embed/H679CEKkfTs 1062 2026-11-06 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/Hc1yypwZCC8 2026-11-06 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Hc1yypwZCC8/hqdefault.jpg Rachel Khan : «L'extrême gauche, aujourd'hui, veut effacer certains mots du dictionnaire» Rachel Khan on the far-left and the use of dictionary terms **Erasing words and new concepts** "I'm sorry, the far-left today actually wants to erase certain words and concepts from the dictionary and replace them with others.

He points out that ten years ago, proposals to leave the European Union were isolated against pro-European leaders like François Hollande, Angela Merkel, or Matteo Renzi. Today, he observes the emergence of a new generation of leaders, citing in particular Karol Nawrocki in Poland and Giorgia Meloni in Italy, who desire a Europe of nations. He calls for a radical change in European policies, believing that only France and Germany can drive these changes. According to him, France must regain its independence and freedom from a straitjacket that imposes texts contrary to its interests, particularly regarding borders, energy policy, and migrants. He uses the example of Germany, which succeeds in defending its vital interests before handing them over to the European Union. • "And today, in Europe, there is a new generation of political leaders who want this Europe of nations and who consider that Europe is first and foremost the product of nations, the product of a continent that invented the very concept of the nation-state" (Unknown speaker, 00:25) • "And in itself, I consider that we must radically change European policies and that there are only two countries that can drive these changes: France and Germany.

In this case, the accident occurred two hours after the driver began his shift, which started at 5:30 a.m. This situation raises questions about the driver's fatigue level or potential medication use, even though driving and rest times are strictly monitored. Vigilance monitoring systems exist but are very recent, with implementation scheduled between 2022 and 2026. Technically, public transport vehicles are subject to inspection every six months. The company in question has reportedly been inspected more than 106 times since 2024. The investigation will need to confirm the bus's satisfactory technical condition and its suitability for transporting passengers. Finally, the issue of seat belt use is raised. Although mandatory for several years, this rule is difficult to enforce on coaches, especially among young people. In the event of a collision, the lack of seat belts turns passengers and objects into projectiles, with dramatic consequences when coming to a sudden stop from 70 or 50 km/h to zero. • "As for human behavior, it is what it is. It's quite dramatic to see that a simple moment of drowsiness can lead to this, but it's sadly frequent. Falling asleep is a cause we find very frequently in accidents. It's something we've all experienced behind the wheel of our car in the morning or evening, a moment where we are a bit too tired and we swerve. The problem is that a professional shouldn't be able to experience that" (Unknown speaker, 00:34) • "So we are in the middle of a driving period, we are far from rest periods.

This level of weekly mobilization is considered impossible and is not sustainable in the long term. A violent display involving a burning police effigy during an anti-police carnival has sparked outrage. This powerful image of violence impacts the men, women, and their families, raising questions about the message conveyed to the officers' children. • "We had several interventions for public order incidents, fires, and we continue to say that it went well.

Hearing of Pierre Coppey for the position of Controller-General of Places of Deprivation of Liberty The Law Commission held a hearing for Pierre Coppey, whose appointment as Controller-General of Places of Deprivation of Liberty (CGLPL) was proposed by the President of the Republic. Although the commission's deputies voted against it by a majority (33 votes against, 21 for), the combined vote with the Senate did not reach the 3/5ths opposition threshold required by Article 13 of the Constitution. His appointment is therefore not rejected. Pierre Coppey defended his "externality" from the judiciary and the prison administration as a guarantee of independence. Questioned about his career within the VINCI group, he stated that he had never been involved in the construction of penitentiary facilities and committed to complying with the declarations of the HATVP. He also highlighted his 40 years of associative experience with the organization Aurore to demonstrate his knowledge of incarcerated populations. The candidate described prison overcrowding as a "French scandal," noting that more than 90,000 people are incarcerated for 63,000 operational places. He supports a regulatory solution, believing that building without regulating simply amounts to filling prisons. He also raised concerns about the increasing length of detention in administrative detention centers (CRA), which are becoming increasingly similar to prisons and are ill-suited for long durations. If confirmed, Pierre Coppey intends to be present in the field and responsive to emergencies. He wishes for the CGLPL not to let prisons overshadow other places such as psychiatric hospitals or police custody cells. He emphasized the urgency of addressing climate issues in prison environments and the necessity of better preparing inmates for release to avoid creating new victims. • "The law commissions of both assemblies have therefore not opposed the proposal to appoint Mr. Pierre Coppey to the position of Controller-General of Places of Deprivation of Liberty" https://www.youtube.com/embed/NM8Z13Z8-ns 4544 2026-11-06 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/Nb8LfV-SAuk 2026-11-06 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Nb8LfV-SAuk/hqdefault.jpg Jean-François Debat, maire PS de Bourg-en-Bresse : «Je pense aux victimes et aux familles» Jean-François Debat's reaction following the bus accident in Bourg-en-Bresse **Emotion and support for the families** "Yes, a great deal of emotion; I am thinking first, obviously, of the victims and especially of them and their families, because no one hits the road in the morning, by car or by bus, thinking that such an accident is going to happen.

He points out that France is the European country that has increased the minimum wage (Smic) the least over the last ten years. To remedy this, he proposes raising the minimum wage to €1,700 and indexing all salaries to inflation. He also suggests lowering housing costs to support purchasing power. Regarding the economy, the deputy calls for targeting the €211 billion in subsidies to companies, distinguishing between small structures and large ones. He advocates for a state that supports industry and national sovereignty, particularly in the sectors of food, medicine, environmental technologies, and defense. He also encourages the development of repair and recycling. On the political front, François Ruffin wishes for the organization of a primary ranging from Poutou to Hollande to unite the people of the left.

A distinction is drawn between the young people who burn schools and those who burn candles. The latter are described as having an exhilarating and vibrant vision of France.

Renault Group: the rise of electric cars and the challenges of the European market The French market is experiencing unprecedented enthusiasm for electric cars, driven by a public policy of purchase subsidies that has been stable for five years and very high fuel prices. Renault Group expects a 25% increase in its production this year, notably thanks to the manufacturing of 120,000 R5s at the Douai plant. The company is adapting its working methods to reduce development cycles to two years and involve suppliers earlier on. The cost of vehicles remains impacted, however, by European regulations and the price of batteries, which account for nearly a third of the total cost. François Provost believes that a freeze on current standards would save €3,000 on the price of an R5 by 2030. The goal is to reach a price equivalent to that of a current hybrid car by the end of the decade. Facing competition, the market share of Chinese manufacturers in Europe has gone from 2% in January 2024 to 13.6% last month. Although Renault claims to be at the same technological level, the cost gap remains difficult to compensate for. Partnerships are being developed with Chinese players to learn from their leadership in the battery field, while Europe could consider customs tariffs in the face of this flow of imports deemed unsustainable. • "Well, listen, first of all, the market share of Chinese competitors in January 2024 was 2% in Europe. And last month, it was 13.6%.

He denounces the Green Deal, which he describes as a policy of degrowth and the embodiment of European policy, imposing a multiplication of standards and constraints to the detriment of the production and sovereignty of European companies. The president of the National Rally points out that Germany is now questioning these standards, particularly in the automotive sector, and has reinstated border controls. He believes that the Franco-German partnership is over and that Germany is defending its own interests while French leaders accept transfers of sovereignty. Finally, Jordan Bardella points to Emmanuel Macron's responsibility in the appointment of Ursula von der Leyen. According to him, she was the French president's candidate because she embodied his policy within the European institutions. • "Ursula von der Leyen was the candidate of Macron's Europe because she embodied President Macron's policy precisely. And in reality, we see that for years, the European Union has used every crisis, and I agree with you 100% on this, to grant itself new powers" (Jordan BARDELLA, 01:34) • "The Green Deal, our business leaders know what we are talking about, it is the multiplication of standards and constraints on the altar of ecology, the road to hell being paved with good intentions, which apply to Europe and which are intended to make the continent that is already the cleanest in the world, even cleaner, by sacrificing our production, our companies, and our ability to remain sovereign in a certain number of areas" (Jordan BARDELLA, 00:35) • "But what is unbearable to me is to see French leaders accepting these transfers of sovereignty.

Frédéric Falcon of the National Rally on national priority in social housing Frédéric Falcon highlights that 10 million French people currently reside in social housing. He calls on landlords to ensure security and order by evicting delinquents and troublemakers, stating that one or two families can be enough to disrupt an entire neighborhood. The MP proposes reducing migratory flows and establishing national priority for access to housing. According to him, one in five allocations in social housing currently benefits a foreign national, while foreigners represent only 9% of the total population. He specifies that these data come from the Social Union for Housing (USH). • "Yes, immigration is a problem, but I remind you that we want to reduce the migratory flow, so the requests will already dry up, and furthermore, we want to impose national priority. Today, one in five allocations in social housing is obtained by a foreign national, while foreigners represent 9% of the total population" (Mr. Frédéric Falcon, 00:00) • "So there is a ratio of almost one to three. These are the figures from the USH, which is very left-leaning; these are not the National Rally's figures" (Mr. Frédéric Falcon, 00:49) • "10 million French people live in social housing today. We must offer the 10 million French people who live in these homes security and order, because I am sorry, but when you pay rent, you have the right to receive a minimum of consideration from your landlord, and many let things slide, many do not take the initiative to make the decision to evict troublemakers and delinquents. Often, it is one or two families in a neighborhood that are enough to create chaos" (Mr. Frédéric Falcon, 00:00) https://www.youtube.com/embed/R1SkT1YnXKw 55 2026-11-06 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/RZO7l8DQdIE 2026-11-06 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/RZO7l8DQdIE/hqdefault.jpg Jordan Bardella : «La France est asphyxiée de normes et d'impôts» Jordan Bardella on CNEWS: economic recovery and ending regulatory asphyxiation Jordan Bardella asserts that the priority of the government he hopes to lead is to revive the economy by moving away from socialism. He laments that France is the highest-taxing state among developed economies and that it is being suffocated by regulations and taxes. He highlights that the profit margins of French companies are among the lowest in Europe and calls for simplifying the economy by removing administrative constraints such as the ZAN (Zero Net Artificialization), the DPE (Energy Performance Certificate), or the ZFE (Low Emission Zones). To promote investment and industry, Jordan Bardella proposes abolishing production taxes, which he considers among the highest in the European Union, in a spirit of economic patriotism. He argues that lowering taxation will necessarily lead to an increase in the creation of businesses and factories. A speaker also points out that before sharing wealth, it is necessary to start by creating it. Regarding energy, Jordan Bardella wishes to exit European rules that index electricity prices to the price of gas in Germany. He denounces the fact that bills have multiplied by 3 to 7 for artisans and industrialists since the war in Ukraine. His goal is to restore a national electricity price to lower bills and give business leaders the freedom to produce. • "The challenge and the priority that will be that of the government tomorrow, I hope, which I will be called upon to lead if the French elect Marine Le Pen, is the revival of the economy. We must move away from socialism in economic matters. France is suffocated by regulations. France is suffocated by taxes. We are the state that collects the most out of all developed economies" (Jordan BARDELLA, 00:00) • "We are going to abolish the taxes that weigh on production.

All new vehicles are now equipped with the latest safety requirements, including breathalyzers, seat belts, blind-spot detectors, and anti-drowsiness devices. These developments often draw lessons from past accidents such as those in Millas or Johanna. Following the accident in the Ain department, the Bureau of Accident Investigation (BEA) must conduct investigations to determine if further safety improvements are necessary. The investigation is ongoing as the prosecutor is scheduled to hold a press conference to provide details on the circumstances of the Philibert group vehicle's road departure. Drug use is a growing concern for the profession. Although the law has not yet definitively adopted it, some companies are already conducting voluntary screening tests. This measure aims to protect employees and passengers from a phenomenon that is gaining ground in the population. • "Notably breathalyzers, seat belts, but more recently blind-spot detectors, and also anti-drowsiness devices, just like in private vehicles. So, we are following technological developments, and therefore all our new vehicles are equipped with the latest requirements" (Unknown speaker, 00:00) • "Yeah. So, we are trying to ensure that, before it becomes mandatory by law, which is in progress but not yet definitively adopted, companies can still carry out screening tests on a voluntary basis.

While in 2014 the median French standard of living was 15% above the eurozone average, it has fallen below this average since 2025. François Pierrard emphasizes that France is becoming a poor country. This situation is explained by a 2.8% drop in real wages between 2017 and 2024, once inflation is deducted. While household income is increasing, this is due to the rise in the number of people employed, income from assets, and social benefits, while labor income and direct taxes are having a downward effect. At the macroeconomic level, France has seen no productivity gains since 2017. The tax system, marked by record employer contributions, is hindering wage increases. To give a minimum wage (Smic) employee a €100 net raise, an employer must pay €246, which encourages wage stagnation. Finally, the study points to a risk of the 'smicardisation' (minimum-wage dependency) of society. Without changes to the system of charges weighing on labor, more and more employees find themselves stuck at or near the minimum wage, despite any increases to the latter to keep up with inflation. • "The median standard of living in France was 15% above the eurozone average, and it seemed unthinkable that France would be below the eurozone average. Yet today, that is the case. Since 2025, I repeat, the median standard of living in France is lower than the eurozone average. We were a rich country, we are becoming a poor country, and that weighs on the wallets of the French" (Speaker 2, 00:50) • "Once inflation is deducted, from 2017 to 2024, wages in France fell by 2.8%, which is really something very striking" (Speaker 2, 02:39) • "So, in France, we have several characteristics. First, there is a macroeconomic context in France that is quite specific and very degraded. We are one of the only countries in the world that has had no productivity https://www.youtube.com/embed/Sg5uNwknghM 314 2026-11-06 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/SjEQPVADD54 2026-11-06 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/SjEQPVADD54/hqdefault.jpg "Les Auditeurs ont la parole" : faut-il augmenter le SMIC ? RTL debate on the CFDT's proposal to increase the minimum wage (SMIC) CFDT Secretary General Marylise Léon is calling for a 100-euro net increase in the minimum wage. This proposal is causing concern among employers, particularly due to threshold effects: one speaker explains that moving from a certain level of social charges to just one euro more causes contributions to jump from 20% to over 40%. A farmer also highlights her financial inability to give her employees a raise, while another business owner notes that revaluing the minimum wage forces him to increase other salaries by 100 to 150 euros to maintain pay gaps. The debate also focuses on the structure of remuneration. Some advocate for lowering social charges, noting a 400-euro gap between gross and net pay at the minimum wage level. One proposal suggests reserving the 'Fillon' tax relief for employers who offer good wages rather than those paying the minimum wage. Furthermore, the idea of a return to a 39 or 40-hour work week is put forward for those who wish to work more. The issue of social benefits is central. While some employees fear that an increase might cause them to lose benefits, others point out that work alone should be enough to compensate a person without depending on outside aid. For one homeowner employee who commutes 62 km per day, a raise is essential in the face of rising gasoline and electricity costs. In parallel, potential savings measures are discussed, such as reforming unemployment insurance or monitoring sick leave. These discussions come as a social conference is set to bring together unions, employers, and the Prime Minister to discuss these remuneration issues. • "I would like us to talk about this minimum wage: 100 euros more, 100 euros net, that is what Marylise Léon, the Secretary General of the CFDT, was asking for this morning on RTL" (Unknown speaker, 00:33) • "I pay 20-something percent in charges, and if I increase them by 1 euro more, I pay 40-something percent in charges" (Unknown speaker, 00:08) • "Yes, I agree, https://www.youtube.com/embed/SjEQPVADD54 1182 2026-11-06 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/SyhLkrTLSLg 2026-11-06 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/SyhLkrTLSLg/hqdefault.jpg Serge Grouard : «Quand on a l'honneur de diriger la France, on est au service des Français» Serge Grouard criticizes the government's lack of attentiveness to the French people Serge Grouard expresses deep exasperation regarding the country's leadership.

The mayor of Orléans compares this responsibility to that of local elected officials who, at their level, must be at the service of their fellow citizens. He considers this attitude of listening and service to be the key to everything. • "I am exasperated, but deeply exasperated. When one has the honor of leading a country like France, one listens.

Alain Bauer observes a social manifestation of accumulated rage and anger, marking a social success in the streets with between 600,000 and 1.6 million people. He denounces a systematic state pattern where nothing is listened to until things break, while noting that the budget was unanimously rejected in Parliament. The situation is marked by strong radicalization and real tensions, particularly in the school sector with assaults and the burning of high schools. A portion of the youth, previously distant from politics, is rapidly becoming repoliticized. At the same time, groups linked to drug trafficking are taking advantage of school exclusion to settle scores with the institution and push the limits of the state. Finally, the analysis focuses on the severity of sexual assaults, affecting 40% of third-grade (CE2) students according to their own reports and 5.5 million adults in France. Alain Bauer regrets that the system seeks first to protect itself and that this subject remains largely absent from the concerns of presidential election candidates, despite the personal collapse and somatization of the victims. • "The system is threatened in itself because the state nobility has failed, and it holds the people in contempt" (Speaker 2, 12:36) • "Yesterday's demonstration, I don't believe it's a left-wing demonstration.

This scenario, described as a very big blue wave, sees the party win the House, the Senate, and numerous seats across the country. The scale of this victory is compared to what happened to Obama in 2010. A striking fact is the fall of the Republican stronghold of Texas, where young Democrat James Talarico won the Senate seat against an opponent supported by Trump. This election is analyzed primarily as a protest vote against Trump. Voters say they are exasperated by the brutalization of political life and the enormous corruption observed over the past two years. In response, Trump told the New York Times that he would recognize the results and work with the Democrats, not wishing to be associated with the losers of his own camp. The aftermath of this Democratic victory is expected to be marked by the return of sanctions against Russia and the launch of numerous corruption investigations by House and Senate committees against members of the Trump family. For the 2028 presidential campaign, which is starting now, the Democrats will need to present a united front and a single candidate. • "And it is the most positive scenario for the Democrats that seems, well, that is happening before our eyes, that of a very big blue wave, therefore Democratic, since they are taking not only the House, that was more or less expected, but also the Senate and a whole bunch of seats across the country" (Unknown speaker, 00:28) • "So, I think it is above all a protest vote against Trump.

This France is described as civilized and benevolent. • "And basically, what I want to say with this example is that despite the doubt and despite the uncertainties of the present time, there is still a French people who live, there is still a civilized France, a benevolent France that exists" (Unknown speaker, 00:02) • "I mention in this chapter the flames that ravaged our forests this summer, by recalling that one cannot be a patriot, be a sovereignist and love France deeply, and not care about what has been happening for several years now, which will increase with global warming in the coming years, to our forests, to our farms, to our mountain roads.

Impact of the midterm elections on Donald Trump's foreign policy Following the midterm elections, Donald Trump has unbridled room for maneuver on foreign policy. Although he announced the resumption of bombing in Iran shortly after the vote, he could also seek a dignified exit from the conflict to respond to the American people's desire to leave a war perceived as a humiliation. Regionally, Donald Trump has announced the end of U.S. military aid to Israel by the end of the year, stating that they do not need it. This financial support currently amounts to $3 billion per year. This decision comes as Benjamin Netanyahu could be held responsible for the electoral failure for having dragged the United States into the war in Iran. These tensions are also reflected within the American political landscape. In Michigan, the victory of Abdul El-Sayed, the first Muslim senator and an elected official critical of Israel, highlights a significant fault line. The pro-Israel lobby AIPAC had spent more than $30 million to support his opponent during the primary. • "Yes, indeed Donald Trump has set the tone for weeks by announcing bombings, the resumption of bombings very shortly after the elections. So indeed, we have to wait, unfortunately that is the answer, because on one hand, in fact, Donald Trump is completely unbridled because he has room for maneuver on foreign policy. At the same time, what is very interesting is that he announced the end of U.S. military aid to Israel by the end of the year" (Unknown speaker, 00:16) • "It is one of the major debates, I and particularly within the Democratic party, since during the Michigan campaign, which finally saw the victory of Abdul El-Sayed, who is now the most anti-Israel of the Democratic elected officials in the House, and the first Muslim senator, it was the sticking point during the fight for the primary. And the reason why Trump made this very curious announcement yesterday of a halt to financial support for Israel, which is still at $3 billion per year, saying: they https://www.youtube.com/embed/WIATCcZCHVk 118 2026-11-06 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/WOVX9tIr6N8 2026-11-06 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/WOVX9tIr6N8/hqdefault.jpg Montevideo, Visit to President of the Republic, November 6, 2026 – Pope Leo XIV Montevideo, Visit to President of the Republic, November 6, 2026 – Pope Leo XIV **Diplomatic meeting and friendship between nations** "It is a joy and a great honor that you have decided to visit our country, that the Holy Father has decided to arrive in Latin America through Uruguay, and that, of course, makes us...

This observation stems from political choices made at both the state and regional levels, as regions are the operators of this intercity transport as well as school bus services. Although some regions had the opportunity to maintain railway lines, many did not do so. This situation poses a safety problem, as train safety is considered significantly superior to road safety. On the road, the human factor is multiplied by the presence of numerous other users such as cars, bicycles, or motorcycles. The intercity coach has never replaced the reality of the train in areas that have been deserted in terms of transport. A return to a strong political choice in favor of the train is presented as a major issue, particularly for the 2027 deadline. Beyond safety, it is about guaranteeing the ability of citizens to travel with peace of mind. • "To the advantage of the train which has been largely abandoned, especially on these intercity lines in this case. Here, it is not about school transport. The train, in my opinion, has been largely abandoned, too abandoned, especially also by the regions which are the operators of this intercity transport, but also of school pickup and transport. But on intercity lines, there, there is really a political choice and therefore it is a political choice. There, there are state political choices, there are also regional political choices" (Unknown speaker, 00:00) • "For some regions, it's different, but they had the possibility to maintain a certain number of train lines. For many, they did not do it and that is an issue, because the safety of the train like that of the plane is clearly superior. On a road, there are other operators, it's not just the one driving their bus. There are cars, there is you and me, there are bicycles, there are scooters, there are motorcycles, there is everything we want.

We get more than 50% in the first round among workers and employees" — Mr. Jean-Philippe Tanguy "we have made proposals to improve purchasing power by lowering VAT on energy from 20 to 5.5, that's 16 billion euros of purchasing power. The abolition of VAT on 100 essential products is 6 billion in purchasing power" — Mr. Jean-Philippe Tanguy "Why doesn't she support our measure to increase wages by 10% in a company agreement without associated charges so that companies can do it without difficulty, or at least with less difficulty" — Mr. Jean-Philippe Tanguy "But I notice that the unions, which I listen to with attention, in particular the CGT, the CFDT, I am forced to listen to them in the media since these are people who refuse, for their leadership, to debate with the Rassemblement National" — Mr. Jean-Philippe Tanguy **Debt reduction trajectory and state accounts** "we have announced the largest savings plan that France has made since General de Gaulle, a trajectory of expenditure reduction of 140 billion" — Mr. Jean-Philippe Tanguy "the golden rule is to force the government to present a debt reduction trajectory and also to prevent the left from degrading the draft during the session" — Mr. Jean-Philippe Tanguy "400 million, it seems complicated to me today to propose 400 million euros.

These incidents involve mortar fire and arson, requiring the intervention of the national police and CRS riot police to deal with students who refuse to leave. Surveillance cameras have made it possible to identify some of the perpetrators as professionals. Within the institutions, educational teams, including teachers, educational assistants (AED), special needs assistants (AESH), and administrative staff, are at their breaking point and working with a knot in their stomachs. School principals are holding the structures together by the skin of their teeth while classes are regularly canceled, mobilizing dozens of police officers for each school shutdown. The situation is described as a tyranny of youth that no longer recognizes anything or anyone. The balance of power seems to be in favor of the young, to whom too much has been conceded. Furthermore, blockades are organized via increasingly inaccessible networks, spreading the lie that a week of blockading will guarantee a passing semester. • "And when we receive a letter from the Minister of Education which has, on a fairly large letter, three sentences to thank the staff, I find that it is very little. And as you rightly said earlier, when we have demands from young people to whom we have given everything and to whom we have conceded, the balance of power being in their favor, well, they will continue. It is a blank check.

For the first time on the same set, Philippe de Villiers and Jordan Bardella will exchange and engage in dialogue. This meeting is presented as an unprecedented event rather than a simple face-off. The debate is based on the latest books by the two guests, "Résurrection" by Philippe de Villiers and "Ce que je cherche" by Jordan Bardella. These books, which are enjoying significant sales success, paint a portrait of a France plagued by several crises. The broadcast will aim to explore how to lift the country up and will examine French identity as well as its history. The exchanges will also focus on significant differences between the two men. The discussions will notably address the themes of Europe, wars, and French diplomacy. The stated objective is to address deep questions that interest the French public. • "Ah, it's a great event!

So first, regarding damages, let's start with theft, fire, or damage to your car during riots; this coverage is not systematically included in your contract. So, check this clause carefully, especially if you have third-party insurance. That's actually the second situation. Third-party, as a reminder, being insured for third-party means being insured against damages you might cause to others, but not for yourself" — Unknown speaker "If you are at fault, your damages will not necessarily be covered. The same applies if you are injured; again, you need appropriate coverage" — Unknown speaker **Professional activity and vehicle use** "Exactly.

That is to say, if we imagine that we structure social life and demands solely around unions, it obviously prevents emerging forms, particularly from the youth, from being able to express themselves" — Rokhaya Diallo "Today, how do we satisfy workers who can no longer make ends meet, high school students determined to continue in the streets to block things, Yellow Vests who understood that the famous grievance books they were told about were used to store, forgive me, cabinets, and Yellow Vests" — Sonia Mabrouk "And indeed, there are figures that have come out saying that there have never been as many poor people today as there were 30 years ago since the indicator for the number of French people below the poverty line has existed since 1996, there have never been as many French people below it" — Rokhaya Diallo **Rise in violence and law enforcement** "I am very worried about the rise in violence.

He cites the example of the abandonment of the Notre-Dame-des-Landes airport project by former Prime Minister Édouard Philippe, despite a favorable citizen referendum and the exhaustion of all administrative appeals. According to him, this decision sent the signal that violence pays off. The analysis highlights that violence is found neither among business leaders nor among ordinary French people, but primarily on the far left. Faced with this situation, the speaker calls for an essential awakening of calm and silent France. He believes that the history of France suggests an upcoming uprising of this silent majority so that they no longer have to endure pressure from the extremes. • "Violence is not among business leaders. Violence is not among ordinary French people. Violence is among the extremes, and in particular the far left, which has only that to express itself and which thinks, not necessarily wrongly, that it is a very good way to subjugate France, which is calm and says nothing. I think that this awakening of France, which is calm, this awakening of silent France, is essential, and the history of France shows that, sooner or later, the silent majority will rise up, and I hope it is sooner rather than later" (Unknown speaker, 00:39) • "It is that unfortunately, today, those who do not carry violence, those who do not use violence, no longer have the right to speak.

He considers the proposal for an increase to 1,500 euros insufficient, emphasizing that it is currently very difficult to live on such an amount. The MP is calling for a rebalancing of public aid between large companies and smaller structures. He denounces a generalized distribution of funds that benefits the 'sharks' who capture the most aid and pay proportionally less in taxes than the local butcher, all while having destroyed 100,000 jobs in 10 years. To enable very small businesses (TPE), small and medium-sized enterprises (PME), and intermediate-sized enterprises (ETI) to increase wages, François Ruffin recommends targeting subsidies and making large companies contribute more. He contrasts the 'France from above' that is gorging itself with a 'France from below' that is rationing. • "€1700, the minimum wage at 1700" (Unknown speaker, 00:30) • "And the indexation of wages to inflation" (Unknown speaker, 00:33) • "Today, the sharks are eating the sardines. I'm not saying that companies shouldn't get subsidies, I'm saying that, on the other hand, they must be targeted rather than doing a generalized distribution.

Imagine if every mayor in France took the same initiative as I did. Well, the movement, everything we are seeing, this chaos that we are currently seeing, it will stop.

I see a strategy of the ultra-left, aided in this by La France Insoumise and a few others in that perimeter, to prevent the election campaign.

He denounces an 'hyper-presidency' that has accumulated over the past twenty years, which today results in an absent presidency, incapable of fulfilling its role as an arbiter. According to him, the majoritarian principle is no longer sufficient in a society fragmented into several blocs; he calls for a transition to a democracy of consent. Faced with what he describes as a tragedy for France, the former Prime Minister proposes an anti-crisis platform and a 'States General of the Republic' to calm tensions. He suggests a new institutional practice including a council of territories that would regularly bring together regional presidents and mayors. On the social front, he advocates for a constitutionalized social charter and a better distribution of wealth, noting that capital pays while labor does not. The guest expresses his concern regarding the disappearance of the central bloc and the temptation to copy Trumpism or Putinism. He criticizes the stigmatization of people from immigrant backgrounds and recalls that France is a universal republic. Finally, he regrets the lack of a French initiative for a peace proposal in Ukraine and calls for a pragmatic diplomacy, faithful to the legacy of Jacques Chirac. • "The country has changed a lot and injustices have increased significantly in our country. So yes, the country has drifted to the right" (Speaker 2, 04:10) • "And today, the challenge we must meet is to move from a democracy of the majoritarian principle, since we are now with three, four, five major blocs, we must move from the majoritarian principle to a democracy of consent" (Speaker 2, 09:35) • "That is why I proposed, a few weeks ago, to all political parties, an anti-crisis platform.

Grégoire Leclercq warns of an immediate and massive impact of this wage hike on purchase prices, which would increase inflation. He also highlights the risk of business closures or staff reductions. Conversely, Julie Ferrua argues that increasing the SMIC would help stimulate growth and strengthen certain businesses. Politically, Sophie de Ravinel and Julie Ferrua denounce a lack of social dialogue during Emmanuel Macron's two terms. Julie Ferrua mentions a feeling of contempt during rare union meetings. The government is described as attempting, albeit late, to reconnect with a form of social democracy to move beyond the standoff with street protests. Social mobilization is accompanied by a massive security deployment. Laurent Nunez and Guillaume Lavielle specify that 70,000 police officers and gendarmes are mobilized, supported by 25 Centaure armored vehicles. Ban orders target city centers to prevent spontaneous gatherings, while some calls for mass disobedience encourage protesters to defy the routes imposed by the prefecture. Finally, the management of public order is sparking controversy. Tensions between the police and the gendarmerie regarding strategies have been observed. Brutality is being denounced, and a collective of lawyers has decided to file a complaint for injuries inflicted on protesters. • "So we are going to ask them to make an additional effort, and where will this effort be passed on?

Their pain is ours. And then, well, this morning, when I went to the scene of the accident, I was able to observe first that a bus was lying in the ditch and that it had probably hit a tree in the process. I did not see any other vehicles that seemed to be involved" — Unknown speaker "So the explanation, I gave it to you a little bit, that is to say that I saw, I observed a bus that had clearly crossed the road in a place where there is no, there is a slight curve, but where there are no major difficulties. But for that, we must leave it to the investigation because at this moment we have the gendarmerie interviewing everyone involved. So this morning the road was wet, but we do not see any skid marks a priori. The impression given is that the vehicle first crossed the road, then ended up in the ditch and unfortunately hit a tree, which caused the numerous casualties" — Unknown speaker **Organization of rescue efforts and first victims** "And then there were, from a quarter of an hour after the accident, a huge number of emergency vehicles that were organizing themselves and were also ensuring traffic control and first aid to the first victims, some of whom were lying on the side of the road with survival blankets" — Unknown speaker **Weather conditions and ongoing investigation** "There were no particularly difficult weather conditions" — Unknown speaker "No, we cannot say that the conditions were particularly unfavorable" — Unknown speaker "Mr. Mayor, there is of course an investigation underway, but do you know what might have happened?

Debate over the renewal of CNews' DTT frequency at Arcom Senator Yannick Jadot is asking Arcom to revoke CNews' access to the terrestrial network and DTT. He believes the channel is in complete breach of its contract regarding the pluralism of opinions and the quality of information. According to him, CNews broadcasts racist, xenophobic, and climate-skeptic remarks, citing in particular a sanction for erroneous claims about voluntary termination of pregnancy. Deputy Jérémie Patrier-Leitus opposes the suppression of media, affirming his commitment to plurality. He supports strengthening sanctions when remarks fall under the law, but refuses to let political leaders or a petition decide to shut down a channel. He warns that such logic could lead to the closure of other media outlets like Radio Nova. The debate centers on the protection of democracy. For Yannick Jadot, enforcing the law against a tool of racist propaganda strengthens democracy. Conversely, Jérémie Patrier-Leitus considers that the suppression of a media outlet by politicians weakens institutions, preferring to let the independent authority Arcom exercise its power to sanction and refer matters to the justice system. • "So I am indeed asking that Arcom take up the CNews file to revoke its access to the terrestrial network, to DTT. Afterwards, they can go on social media, and there, I hope that the justice system will do its job seriously. Every time there is a racist remark—racism is not an opinion. CNews is an opinion channel. Racism is not an opinion, it is a crime" (Mr. Yannick Jadot, 00:47) • "It is a contract between Arcom, which is fundamentally an emanation of our democracy, and CNews. What does it say? The pluralism of opinions, which is absolutely not respected, we know it, and the quality of information.

Faced with growing demand, SNCF CEO Jean Castex highlights the necessity of this new train to address current saturation, noting that he sometimes has to turn away customers during major holiday departures due to a lack of available seats. This new-generation TGV constitutes a major technological leap. It consumes 20% less electricity than previous models and is entirely recyclable. The innovation includes a battery that allows for maintaining heating and air conditioning in the event of a power outage, while also ensuring the train's autonomy to reach the next station. • "We are riding today in this new-generation TGV which consumes 20% less electricity than previous generations, is totally recyclable, and is equipped with a battery that will eventually allow, if there are power outages—it happens, a storm, etc.—to preserve the operating status of the heating and air conditioning; we haven't forgotten what happened last summer, and to make the TGV run to the next station autonomously. And there you go, all of that is still very concrete progress" (Mr. CASTEX Jean, 00:48) • "It's not just a great story, it's an epic, the TGV in France. First of all, you have a French product, a French technology that the whole world admires. No, 45 years of history, 3.5 billion, 3.5 billion passengers have taken the TGV since the opening of the first line and it continues to grow. We must respond. As I told you, the tragedy for the CEO of the SNCF is that today, there are weekends, there are major holiday departures where I turn away customers because we don't have space" (Unknown speaker, 00:00) • "Well, so this TGV was needed. It's a technological leap, it's an improvement in many areas. So yes, it's a new stage in the epic. But the epic continues, the French are thirsty for TGV. If you'll allow me to say, almost the planet needs the TGV" (Mr. CASTEX https://www.youtube.com/embed/d3p56e8xz9w 82 2026-11-06 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/de-bt-7667342-vod 2026-11-06 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/de-bt-7667342-vod/20261106083033/1280.jpg 106.

And indeed, several high-ranking officials have told us that there is a risk of a 'third round' being played out in the streets, with an far-left movement that could mobilize both the suburbs and also coalesce certain movements in rural areas, potentially replaying the election in the streets with possible damage, sabotage, and looting." — Unknown speaker "But there is really this fear, more specifically, of urban violence and a very polarized confrontation between the two blocs." — Unknown speaker "What is interesting today is precisely the electoral calendar of the two rounds of the presidential election. We see that it takes up a lot of space with the question of May 1st and May 2nd. It is directly linked to everything we are telling you. That is to say: do you have a latency period between the election and the inauguration of a new president? If during that period you generally have a latency and skirmishes occurring in the streets, you are putting yourself at risk." — Unknown speaker **Anticipation by high-ranking officials and security scenarios** "Yeah, so there are precise scenarios. There is a high-ranking official from the police prefecture who tells you in Paris: 'It's very, very funny that you're talking to me about this, I'm already working on it, so we are talking about last spring, day and night.'

The genetic history of humanity: interbreeding, adaptation, and the lack of biological basis for race The human species appeared in Africa 200,000 to 300,000 years ago. From a genetic perspective, all of current humanity is merely a subset of African genetic diversity. Differences between individuals are minuscule, as the human genome differs by only 0.1% regardless of geographic origin. Biology and genetics demonstrate that races have no biological basis in humans; most differences are inter-individual rather than inter-population. Interbreeding has played a crucial role in the survival of the species. Upon leaving Africa, the ancestors of Europeans interbred with Neanderthals, acquiring about 2% of their DNA. This genetic transfer allowed for better adaptation to viral infectious diseases and the European climate. Interbreeding is thus presented as a formidable accelerator of adaptation to environmental change and a condition of the diversity necessary to avoid extinction. Human evolution never stops, and natural selection continues to act, notably on fertility in Western countries. Researchers today use paleogenomics to study the DNA of fossils and the genetics of contemporary populations to develop precision medicine. This approach takes into account genetics, lifestyle, and age to adapt therapeutic treatments and vaccines. Finally, the future of nations relies on knowledge and scientific research. Increased investment in these fields is necessary, as science represents a long-term commitment that exceeds the duration of a presidential term. For a country like France, investing in research is essential to ensure the society's capacity to survive. • "what biology and genetics say is that in humans, races have no place because they do not exist, they have no biological basis" (Unknown speaker, 14:39) • "What I am saying, and what scientific work above all shows, is that interbreeding is a formidable accelerator of adaptation to environmental change" (Speaker 13, 10:38) • "regardless of their origin, and I will https://www.youtube.com/embed/drRrn6CrX88 1586 2026-11-06 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/dvcS6lzg9fY 2026-11-06 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/dvcS6lzg9fY/hqdefault.jpg Hausse du Smic : Clémence Guetté dénonce "une arnaque sociale" Clémence Guetté presents the LFI program for the presidential election and the minimum wage **Social mobilization and the cost-of-living crisis** "First, a word about this new day of social mobilization against the high cost of living in particular, yesterday, between 600,000 and 1.5 million protesters, very large processions" — Unknown speaker "we are in a situation regarding the purchasing power of the French or the demands of high school students that is absolutely dramatic and to which, for the moment, the government has only responded with stalling" — Unknown speaker "If the answer is the €15 increase that normally arrives automatically in January, it's a joke.

He points to a concrete gap between the orientation of young people toward technological or vocational tracks and the number of available spots in IUTs and BTS programs. Facing a public debt reaching 120% of GDP, he recalls that private wealth has doubled to reach 600% of GDP since the 1970s. The 500 largest fortunes have grown from 200 billion to 1 trillion euros in ten years. To finance the social model, he advocates drawing inspiration from the 1945 national solidarity tax, targeting the highest wealth brackets with tax rates of several tens of percent. The proposed development model advocates for growth less centered on material sectors and a reduction in working hours, in line with global historical trends. The goal is to integrate social classes and inequalities into the climate response, in order to achieve collective prosperity without "hitting a wall." Politically, Thomas Piketty calls for not abandoning the issue of the referendum to the Rassemblement National. He proposes organizing a referendum on national solidarity, the first in France since 2005, to rethink the development model and the financing of programs. • "You know, it's all a question of distribution, meaning it's true, public debt has gone from 20% in 1970 to 120% of GDP today. Except that private wealth has gone from 300% of GDP in the 70s to 600% today" (Unknown speaker, 02:36) • "No, the biggest failure for me is really the abandonment of the youth. Meaning the movement we have there, this autumn with us, for me, is really their response to the fact that over ten years, if you look Marc-Olivier Fogiel, between 2017 and 2027, the higher education budget per student, after deducting inflation, has fallen by 20" (Unknown speaker, 00:48) • "I also want to recall that in our history, when we https://www.youtube.com/embed/f2nK6jthsAM 605 2026-11-06 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/fCyagPX0yAM 2026-11-06 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/fCyagPX0yAM/hqdefault.jpg "On peut de plus en plus être pauvre au travail" : l’anomalie française The French anomaly of the joint increase in the employment rate and poverty Work systematically pays more than non-work, according to the work of Guillaume Allègre and Muriel Pucci. However, income from work no longer guarantees being above the poverty line. Since 2014, France has experienced a unique situation: while the employment rate has increased by 5 points, the poverty rate has also risen. This correlation is an anomaly that France shares only with the Netherlands, whereas in other European countries, an increase in employment usually leads to a decrease in poverty. This difficulty persists despite changes in state aid. While this aid was historically intended for those who were not working, it is now increasingly directed toward workers to supplement their income, without, however, eliminating in-work poverty. • "And this is other work, specifically that of Pierre Madec, which clearly indicates that, while the employment rate has been constantly increasing, you see, since 2014, the employment rate has risen by 5 points in France, so there are more and more people at work; normally, when the employment rate increases, the poverty rate decreases, which is what we observe in all European countries, except in two countries: the Netherlands and France" (Unknown speaker, 00:00) • "That is to say that the employment rate has increased in France, but the poverty rate has also increased, and so, effectively, one can increasingly be poor while working. So that is a real difficulty, and this is despite all the state aid that comes to supplement work-related aid. This is also a singularity in France. Usually, the state helped those who were not working to try to live relatively decently; now, more and more aid is going to those who are working, and despite that, there is still a poverty rate" (Unknown speaker, 00:40) • "So, we must still clarify what 'work no longer pays' means, which is to say that work still pays more than non-work.

According to him, this decision places these individuals in a state of total impunity, even though they participated in an attack where cries of "death to her" were shouted. He emphasizes that attacking a police officer should be punished more severely because she represents the State. He believes that the magistrates, whether they are ideologues or oblivious, are doing these youths the greatest disservice possible by letting them walk out like "stars" who have won against the police and the justice system. For the speaker, these judges bear direct responsibility for sending these "kids into a wall" instead of trying to lift them up. • "But if the judges imagine they have done something good for these youths, they are sending them straight into a wall. That is to say, they are at an age where they come out of this, they are in a state of impunity. So they have won. Moreover, whether it is against a policewoman, it must be punished more severely because she represents the State. But even if it were against any person, when you see the footage, when you assault someone in that way, it is not about stealing a bike, it is about a physical assault where people are shouting 'death to her'" (Unknown speaker, 00:00) • "These judges have a responsibility; they have just sent these kids into a wall" (Unknown speaker, 00:57) • "And these judges, I don't know if they are ideologues or oblivious, but they are doing the worst service they can possibly do to these youths.

This observation is illustrated in particular by the United States' withdrawal from the WHO and the cessation of its funding, but also by France, which has drastically reduced its financial contributions. This situation impacts a field that nevertheless remains a universal concern. The disengagement of Western countries raises the crucial question of vaccine funding. Although vaccines can be developed, their high cost requires financial contribution. The question of who will pay for these health tools remains a major issue today. • "Regarding global health in a general way, I would say that for a few years now, global health has been completely neglected by Western countries, the United States first, with their exit from the WHO and the cessation of WHO funding.

Manuel Bompard on LCI: wages, social climate, and the doctrine of non-alignment Manuel Bompard denounces a difficult social situation marked by anger and the government's contempt. He points out that the current demonstrations are the most powerful since the movement against pension reform. To address the social emergency, he proposes raising the minimum wage (Smic) to €1,700 net, an increase of 15%, and indexing wages to inflation as in Belgium. He also advocates for a progressive corporate tax to help small and medium-sized enterprises at the expense of very large ones. Regarding law enforcement, the LFI coordinator criticizes the police response and repression in the face of a political problem. He calls for a profound reform to restore an absolutely republican police force and wishes for peaceful relations between law enforcement and protesters. He reaffirms that the effectiveness of demands depends on non-violence, while regretting that the government uses the police to resolve political crises. Politically, Manuel Bompard welcomes the support of Communist and overseas deputies from the GDR group for Jean-Luc Mélenchon's candidacy. According to him, this candidacy is the only one on the left capable of qualifying for the second round of the presidential election. He rejects the model of budgetary austerity and wishes to open a new chapter in the country's history. Finally, he defines France's international doctrine through non-alignment and independence. He proposes a gradual withdrawal from NATO, starting with the integrated military command.

He considers it absurd to have seen this movement only as a maneuver by La France Insoumise, even if such movements are exploited. For him, the government should have gone immediately to the high schools to meet with the young people. The speaker emphasizes that the lack of seriousness given to social dialogue is a major shortcoming of the last ten years. He cites in particular the episodes of the Yellow Vests, the negotiation of the points-based pension system, and the 2023 pension reform as moments when this dialogue was lacking. • "Six weeks late to talk to high school students. We could have avoided October 17. One of the great shortcomings of the last 10 years has been not taking social dialogue seriously.

The toll stands at two dead, a seven-year-old child and an 18-year-old young man, as well as sixteen injured, three of whom are in critical condition. The vehicle, which was carrying 49 people including 15 minors, left its trajectory on a curve and struck a tree or a pole. An investigation for vehicular homicide and aggravated vehicular injuries has been opened by the public prosecutor of Bourg-en-Bresse and entrusted to the Lyon gendarmerie. The Minister of Transport, Philippe Tabarot, went to the scene to express his condolences and meet with emergency services, including about a hundred firefighters mobilized. Although the bus had passed its semi-annual technical inspections and the driver's initial tests appear negative, the minister reiterated his desire to strengthen safety, particularly through the installation of ignition interlock devices. Experts point out that while buses are statistically safer than cars, the failure to wear seat belts and the lack of mandatory airbags remain points of vulnerability. At the same time, the European aviation sector is facing a new series of coordinated bomb alerts. Four planes had to make emergency landings in France, notably at Orly and Bordeaux, triggering demining operations. These incidents, described as "hybrid warfare," are attributed by some observers to a Russian group called "the fighters of the male state." The goal of these actions is allegedly to intimidate European populations and paralyze air transport in a context of tensions linked to the defense of Ukraine. • "This morning at 7:30 a.m., therefore, a bus operating a route between Lyon and Bourg-en-Bresse on behalf of the region had a serious accident with two people who died" (Unknown speaker, 01:22:01) • "an 18-year-old young man and a 7-year-old girl; with three people in critical condition who were immediately, https://www.youtube.com/embed/iOwqQ1YR1Sk 9145 2026-11-06 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/j0sBPOzOmF4 2026-11-06 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/j0sBPOzOmF4/hqdefault.jpg Montevideo, Official Welcome, November 6, 2026 – Pope Leo XIV Montevideo, Official Welcome, November 6, 2026 – Pope Leo XIV **Arrival of the plane and crowd management** "Look, there is the plane, did you see it?" — Speaker 6 "There are a lot of people, have them move to this side" — Speaker 5 **Logistical organization of the stairs and the passage** "Later, because the stairs" — Unknown speaker "We will open it like this so he can pass without problems" — Speaker 1 • "Look, there is the plane, did you see it?"

This movement reflects a level of exasperation and social hardship among many French people. Faced with this situation, if the government decides to force the issue using Article 49.3, a motion of no confidence will be filed to seek its overthrow. The government has levers to act, notably through increasing the minimum wage (SMIC) and revaluing the civil service index point. Manuel Bompard advocates for indexing wages to inflation so that they increase automatically with prices. He points out that over the last ten years, the minimum wage has increased twice as fast in Germany and four times as fast in Spain as in France, specifying that this measure costs the state nothing since it is the responsibility of companies. Politically, the publication of a program is presented as the basis of an election to allow citizens to decide between different visions for society. New proposals include the integration of environmental health in the face of ecological diseases and a reflection on new family structures.

This turning point, discussed during an exchange with François Mitterrand regarding the history of SOS Racisme, allegedly led to the abandonment of factories that became industrial wastelands. Consequently, the Left sought a substitute electorate. Immigration is presented as a vital necessity for the Left ever since the intellectuals at Terra Nova advocated for the coalition of minorities. No longer having factories, the Left must substitute the djellaba for the blue-collar work uniform to avoid losing the neighborhoods. • "So it became globalized.

He denounces the contempt of the political class and a breakdown of trust, emphasizing that mayors retain the highest level of trust because they are rooted in reality. He calls on deputies to reach an agreement on the budget and urges the government not to impose a vision that would worsen the crisis. To break the deadlock, he proposes including a clear message on purchasing power, notably through a reduction in the CSG (General Social Contribution) for low wages. He identifies housing as the primary budget item for the French people and suggests simplifying paperwork to allow SME business owners to increase salaries. He also advocates for holding general assemblies with young people focused on specific expectations regarding mental health. Looking ahead to the presidential election, Karim Bouamrane pleads for republican responsibility and an agreement between responsible candidates to vote on the budget. He sharply criticizes Marine Le Pen's positions on social housing and opposes a second round between her and Jean-Luc Mélenchon, whom he describes as a stepping stone for the National Rally. • "The goal is for the government to provide guarantees immediately in order to get out of this cyclical crisis that is exacerbating the systemic crisis" (Mr. Bouamrane Karim, 01:54) • "There will be no compromise if we do not include the two pillars that currently mean we are in a situation of cyclical crisis, namely a clear message in terms of purchasing power" (Mr. Bouamrane Karim, 09:46) • "I say to the deputies: 'Find an agreement' and I say to the government: 'Do not try to impose at all costs a vision that will ensure the crisis continues to reach its climax'" (Mr. Bouamrane Karim, 14:09) • "We must be capable of having, at the very least, an agreement with all the republican and responsible candidates for the https://www.youtube.com/embed/nOzTOAs6rhM 1680 2026-11-06 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/nR4lQHh7hTo 2026-11-06 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/nR4lQHh7hTo/hqdefault.jpg Rudy Manna : «Les revendications sont portées sur la haine antiflic» Unsa Police's reaction to anti-cop hatred and the impact of protests **Anti-cop hatred and the crystallization of demands** "Of course, that's the principle, it's an insult to an officer, it is effectively punishable by a prison sentence.

According to Amy Greene, one must go back to 1986 to find a presidential failure as stinging during midterms. Justin Vaïsse analyzes this result as a protest vote linked to the president's unpopularity, fueled by inflation stemming from the war in Iran and customs tariffs, as well as by Donald Trump's personal enrichment. The shift in Congress restores the power of the purse to elected officials, as the Constitution stipulates that no dollar can leave the Treasury without a parliamentary vote. The Democratic victory in the Senate also makes it possible to bypass the tie-breaking vote of the Vice President. However, the American system invites compromise because some Democrats were elected in very conservative states like Kansas or Iowa. Donald Trump has, moreover, expressed his willingness to collaborate with them to find common ground. Despite this legislative setback, the president retains great latitude in foreign policy via the Lindsey Graham Act and could be even more active there. He notably announced the end of military aid in Israel by the end of the year. At the same time, the executive branch benefits from broad immunity for official functions and a privilege extended by the Department of Justice, allowing his associates to refuse Congressional subpoenas. As eyes are already turning toward the 2028 election, this sequence marks a reaction to the populist wave. For Amy Greene, faced with economic suffering and easy populist solutions, Americans began to reclaim their dignity during this election night. • "He lost his Republican majority in the House of Representatives, he lost in the Senate.

RTL: Debate on banning smoking on terraces and in the street According to Amandine Bégot, 62% of French people are in favor of a smoking ban on bar and restaurant terraces, and 51% would like this measure to apply everywhere on the street. Non-smokers regularly express discomfort related to smoke and odors during family outings or in public spaces, with some fearing for their health. Conversely, other listeners consider such a ban unacceptable in the name of individual freedom, comparing cigarette smoke to that of buses. Vincent Péomaille believes that the debate should not pit smokers against non-smokers, pointing out that tobacco is primarily an addiction that leads to a loss of control. He says he is in favor of maintaining the freedom to smoke in the street. Testimonies highlight that addiction can lead to prioritizing the purchase of cigarettes over the needs of children, or cause serious health problems such as coronary spasms. To quit, several methods are mentioned: using patches over six months with a gradual reduction in dosage, reading books to understand and deconstruct the mechanisms of addiction, or using a nicotine-free electronic cigarette to maintain the habit. Vincent Péomaille specifies that by quitting, one greatly reduces health risks, gradually regaining breath and better blood circulation. • "62% of French people are in favor of a smoking ban on bar and restaurant terraces, one in two French people, 51%, in favor of a ban everywhere on the street" (Amandine Bégot, 00:29) • "I think we are getting the debate a bit wrong because, in fact, we must remember that cigarettes are an addiction, and here we are pitting smokers against non-smokers when, behind it all, we are actually losing control over tobacco" (Vincent Péomaille, 07:10) • "It wasn't a heart attack, thank goodness, but it was coronary spasms, let's say, but it's due to tobacco" (Speaker 28, 09:35) • "Already, you greatly reduce health risks.

According to him, the right and the left have become "retailers" sourcing from the same "wholesaler in Brussels," with the right having abandoned the nation and the family, while the left imposes a "moral supremacism" through anti-racism. On a historical and ideological level, Mr. de Villiers criticizes the affiliation of certain political leaders with Robespierre, whom he describes as the inventor of the Terror and the inspirer of laws that "genocided" the Vendée. He links this legacy to a form of "decivilization" illustrated by the desecration of graves and the questioning of the national narrative, notably at Saint-Denis. Regarding insecurity and violence during demonstrations, he advocates for firm measures: banning the Syndicat de la magistrature (Magistrates' Union), incarcerating individuals on the 'S' watch list to solve the problem of black blocs, and deporting dual nationals who have behaved as delinquents back to their countries. He laments that criminal law no longer protects society but now aims at the rehabilitation of criminals. Finally, the program addresses the pressures exerted on field journalists, who are victims of an "intimidation campaign" and accusatory reversals. Philippe de Villiers concludes with the observation of a standoff between "two Frances" and the collapse of the central bloc, while expressing concern over the end of freedom of expression. • "It is a pro-European coup d'état by the European Union.

Marc Touati's analysis on the decline of GDP and unemployment in France Leading economic indicators, such as household and business leader confidence, reached a historic low in October according to INSEE. The wealth created in France is falling, with the indicator dropping below the 50 mark to settle at 46.6. France is currently the only country in the European Union where GDP is falling, showing a decline of -0.3%, which places it behind Russia. This lack of growth mechanically leads to a rise in unemployment, which reached 8.5% in September, an unprecedented gap of 2 points compared to the Eurozone.

Although both countries sent secondary officials, this meeting marks a direct intervention by Melania Trump, whose influence is linked to her Slovenian origins and her knowledge of the region over which Russia casts its shadow. The First Lady has exercised diplomatic influence in the past. During the Anchorage summit in August 2025, she personally asked her husband to hand a letter to Putin to request the release of Ukrainian children held in Russia. She had also been involved in 2018 after seeing photos of children martyred by the Bashar al-Assad regime. This interventionism is part of a long American tradition, citing the examples of Barbara Bush, Pat Nixon, Rosalynn Carter, or Eleanor Roosevelt. For the White House, this role for Melania Trump acts as a political wild card following difficult election results in the House and Senate for Donald Trump. Due to her birth in Yugoslavia, however, she will not be able to run in the 2028 election. • "We were talking this morning about Melania Trump hosting both a Russian and a Ukrainian delegation at the White House at the same time.

This initiative aims to show support for producers as a price war begins between supermarkets and manufacturers. Brands are regularly accused of inflating their margins at the expense of farmers. The financial situation of the farms is marked by rising costs and a drop in production linked to heatwaves. One farmer reports a shortfall of €60,000, combining €44,000 in lost dairy revenue and €15,000 in additional costs. To compensate, producers are demanding an increase of at least 8 euro cents per liter of milk sold. The deadlock lies with the industrial intermediaries who buy the milk. Farmers fear they will not succeed, recalling that the previous year, a request for a 3.5% increase resulted in a revaluation of only 0.5%. Retail representatives state that every player in the sector must take their share of responsibility so that everyone can make a living from their work. • "He is asking this year for at least 8 euro cents more per liter of milk sold.

She describes a French public that is politicized and aware of its material living conditions, including high school students studying in undignified conditions. According to her, the government has responded to these demands only by letting the situation fester.

It wasn't La France Insoumise that put 1.6 million people on the streets yesterday and in recent weeks. It was the people.

Hearing of Anne Le Hénanff at the Senate on sovereignty and the impact of AI Minister Delegate Anne Le Hénanff defends a "third way" for artificial intelligence in France: a sustainable, inclusive, and sovereign model that places humans at the heart of the strategy. Faced with international competition, the goal is to position France and Europe in the leading pack of the AI race. This ambition is supported by a strengthening of research and development via France 2030, endowed with an additional 665 million euros, and by the identification of critical dependencies in the private sector through a new sovereignty observatory. Sovereignty also involves public procurement and European preference, the primary criterion of which is the location of headquarters in Europe. The State is setting an example with the rollout of the Mistral assistant to nearly one million interministerial agents. Furthermore, a new framework requires administrations to host their sensitive data with providers compliant with the ANSSI repository within 18 months. To support the sector's growth, the Tibi initiative has already mobilized more than 15 billion euros since 2020. Regarding security, France is identified as the European Union country most targeted by foreign digital interference. In response, 77 million euros from France 2030 will be dedicated to developing cybersecurity capabilities. The Minister emphasizes that digital technology and AI are now sovereign matters, while expressing reservations about certain legislative developments in the Resilience bill that could hinder intelligence services in the fight against child sexual abuse. Finally, the impact of AI on employment and the environment is at the center of the debates. While 4% of work is currently automatable, this figure could reach 16% within 2 to 5 years. The Minister acknowledges future job losses but is banking on increasing the quality of work and education, with an introduction to AI starting in the 8th grade (classe de 4ème).

This mobilization, considered massive particularly in Paris, marks a success for the unions, which are regaining control and displaying a new union front compared to previous years. The organizers demonstrated their ability to manage the movement, with public opinion distinguishing between the vast majority of protesters and the violence. The movement expresses a profound crisis of work where wages are no longer enough to live on, illustrated by testimonies of daily deprivation. The unions are carrying specific demands, such as the CFDT, which is calling for €100 more for the monthly minimum wage (Smic). This questioning of labor compensation is described as a Western problem shared at the European level, as trade union centers are now demanding salary increases. Faced with this situation, the executive branch appears totally weakened and extremely unpopular. About half of the French people would like a radical change in how society functions. The political agenda seems to be dictated and orchestrated by Jean-Luc Mélenchon and Marine Le Pen, while the government struggles to propose immediately actionable solutions. The situation is analyzed as a crisis of prosperity and growth. France has been suffering the consequences of a form of degrowth for three years, marked by stagnant wages, generalized inflation, and a lack of budgetary room for maneuver. For observers, only an urgent response to the demands could end the mobilization. • "According to the CGT, there are 1.6 million protesters in the streets, 575,000 according to the Ministry of the Interior" (Speaker 5, 00:00) • "It is a success for the organizers, for the unions that are regaining control.

Prefects have issued prohibition orders to prevent spontaneous gatherings in these areas. Regarding declared demonstrations, agreements have been reached with the organizers for them to take place outside of city centers. • "Tomorrow, a new day of mobilization throughout France against the high cost of living.

According to him, France must act as a balancing and counterweight power on the world stage. He argues that it is necessary to reintegrate Russia in order to build a Europe stretching from the Atlantic to the Urals, rather than from the Atlantic to the Vistula. Invoking Talleyrand, he emphasizes that geography dictates history. • "And we, France, are here to be a balancing power, a counterweight. We must leave NATO, Jordan Bardella, we must leave NATO. France is a great world power and must not remain in NATO. Therefore, we must leave the European Union, we must leave NATO, we must leave the ECHR, which prevents us from having an immigration policy, in order to regain independence. And the day we are independent, then we will be powerful again" (Mr. Philippe DE VILLIERS, 00:19) • "I believe that we have no choice, we will have to reintegrate Russia and build the de Gaulle Europe from the Atlantic to the Urals, and not from the Atlantic to the Vistula.

However, the decisive ingredient for generating wealth, and therefore revenue, is our skills: our fundamental knowledge—reading, writing, and counting correctly; our technical know-how; and also our professional soft skills that allow us to cope well with any type of situation. Unfortunately, in international comparisons, our level in many of these areas has been in freefall for too many years" — Unknown speaker "And the result is that France is plummeting in the rankings. In math, it has been quite clear for some time now. At first, we consoled ourselves by saying that at least we still had excellent students in mathematics that the whole world envied us for. And so we told ourselves that the drop in level affected the average but not the top of the class. Well, that is no longer true" — Unknown speaker "even the level of the best is dropping in international comparisons. But it is not only in math that the situation is worrying. We are also at the bottom of the rankings in socio-behavioral skills, which include the ability to work in a team, solve problems, manage stressful situations, etc. Fortunately, there are avenues for improvement. For example, we still have very vertical teaching methods in schools, based on the teacher's authority rather than on collaboration between students" — Unknown speaker **The economic importance of knowledge and know-how** "But fortunately, there are ways to reverse the trend. First, we must understand why skills are important.

He asserts that no political actor can meet with what he describes as aggressors, especially, he says, in occupied territories, outside the framework set by the State. The minister invokes Article 192 of the Penal Code.

He mocks this one-million-person discrepancy by joking about the mathematical skills of Bruno Le Maire or the police, while citing a counter-example in Belgium where the police counted more protesters than the unions did. The comedian then draws up a fictional calendar for the six months leading up to the presidential election. He imagines, among other things, a hookah bar tour for Gabriel Attal, a candidacy from Sarah Knafo with ChatGPT as Prime Minister, and François Hollande's denials being contingent on a drop in the polls for Raphaël Glucksmann. This parody ends with Dominique de Villepin who, after repeatedly assuring that he would be a candidate but that it was too early to announce it, finally declares on April 19 that he is a candidate but that it is now too late to do so. • "But yes, to be honest, I didn't really follow it, so I got home late, I read Le Parisien and I tell myself it's crazy because the headline was 'November 5 mobilization, 575,000 protesters according to the Interior, 1.6 million according to the CGT.'

The committee was hearing evidence on Friday 6 November 2026 on the Treasury Laws Amendment (Tax Reform) Number 3 Bill 2026 and the Income Tax Rates Amendment (Minimum Tax on Discretionary Trusts) Bill 2026, which would set a 30% minimum tax on discretionary trusts. McKellar said ACCI "urges the committee to recognise that this bill will harm small businesses, and recommends that this bill be rejected on that basis." He said about 240,000 small businesses operate as discretionary trusts and that, for a trust with average income of around 161,000, tax would rise by A$19,000, almost 65%. Asked by Liberal senator Jane Hume for a ranking, he said rejection was the best outcome, grandfathering the fallback and further delay a distant third. The committee asked for answers to questions on notice by Monday 9 November 2026 from this panel. ### Chamber calls trust tax an assault McKellar told Liberal senator Andrew Bragg that the chamber had described the measures as an "unprovoked assault". Bragg asked what the Treasurer and Prime Minister said in response. McKellar replied that senior officials pointed to aligning headline tax rates between labour and capital, which he said was easily contested. ### Social service council backs prompt passage Cassandra Goldie, director-general of the Australian Council of Social Service (ACOSS), told the committee the group strongly supports the trust reforms. Goldie said ACOSS "strongly supports the government's legislative reforms which are at their heart designed to deliver fairness in the tax treatment of income". Peter Davidson, a principal adviser at ACOSS, said "we believe it's important the legislation's passed promptly". He also asked for reform of gift deductibility and a register of trust https://videos.polyfact.com/au-parliament-5089414-c1-vod/manifest.m3u8 21600 2026-11-05 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/nsw-macquarie-298985408-live 2026-11-06 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/nsw-macquarie-298985408-live/20261106010104/1280.jpg NSW Parliament committee hearing – Macquarie Room – 6 November 2026 Parliament of New South Wales, Macquarie Room broadcast of 6 November 2026, from 8:00 am AEDT (live).

It was the inquiry's first hearing, and the committee is examining how such activities should be overseen. Asked by committee chair Sarah Kaine whether the sports should be outlawed, Mobbs said "as a doctor and a community member, I think they should be. I've seen the devastating consequences." She said there is nothing that can make them safe, citing forces comparable to a car accident, and described a doctor on the sideline as "window dressing as far as prevention". Mobbs said she would not propose bare-knuckle boxing in the community because of soft tissue injuries and fractures, but rated it lower risk for head injury. The committee will draft a report and hold a meeting to finalise it before release. ### Authority chair describes slow enforcement Darren Kane, chair of the Combat Sports Authority of New South Wales, said the process for resolving disputes over what counts as a combat sport is inefficient. He said the authority determined on legal advice that the RUN NATION Championships was a combat sport, the organisers went to the Supreme Court, and the court found the authority correct. Kane described the court route as "a pretty inefficient way of resolving disputes" in time, staff resources and cost. He said the event has been rescheduled for 28 November at the Australian Turf Club, Royal Randwick. Kane told Wes Fang, the Nationals deputy chair, that inspectors can fine or stop an event, and that there are about 30 of them. ### GTG founder says costs block compliance Petera Tarawhiti, founder of GTG Fight Club, told the committee he was denied a promoter's licence and that regulation costs are unaffordable for entry-level https://videos.polyfact.com/nsw-macquarie-298985408-vod/manifest.m3u8 13921 2026-11-05 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/pt-parlamento-20261105-clean-2030-vod 2026-11-06 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/pt-parlamento-20261105-clean-2030-vod/20261106040053/1280.jpg Audição do Ministro da Agricultura e Mar Hearing of the Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries regarding the 2027 State Budget **PEPAC Budget and Execution** « Let us begin the hearing of the Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries within the scope of the specialized assessment of the Government's Bill number 110, the 2027 State Budget » — Rui Afonso « Potential budget, the projected budget exceeds 3 billion euros: 1,647, which is what is there, 400 from FEADER, plus the CPN, which is what is in the global allocation, 825 from FEAGA » — Speaker 1 « 2026 budget without RRP: 1,478.7 million euros. 2027 budget without RRP: 1,625.

The work involves performing reactions in printed oil baths and digging deep into components of the tree. This research is part of a vision for the technical university to take the lead in developing materials that the world needs. The project follows a triple-helix model and seeks to move from lab-scale research toward industrial scale-up. The initiative utilizes a network of over 700 researchers and has received million euros in financing over 5 years. It is described as a practical approach to research that requires collaboration to succeed. A key message for Europe is the need to be less dependent on Chinese components regarding nitrocellulose. To achieve this, speakers emphasize that fast-track support is really important for the development and scaling of these materials. • « From the other, what's like a message to take for Europe on nitrocellulose or on them to be less dependent on Chinese components, it's also quite pushing kind of » (Intervenant 11, 02:35) • « With nitrocellulose, we want to be involved in the scale-up » (Intervenant 4, 02:04) • « So here we need the yeah, the support of fast-track is really important » (Intervenant inconnu, 02:47) • « and million euros into this over 5 years » (Intervenant 17, 02:23) • « And the lab you saw, it's not industrial scale, research, so we have then also a network with over 700 researchers that we can use in this » (Intervenant 10, 02:07) https://videos.polyfact.com/I-297002-vod/manifest.m3u8 181 2026-11-05 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/I-297051-vod 2026-11-06 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/I-297051-vod/20261106073018/1280.jpg High Representative / Vice-President Kaja KALLAS in Lisbon, Portugal High Representative / Vice-President Kaja KALLAS in Lisbon, Portugal **European security and defense investment** « estamos a tratar os assuntos de segurança e defesa europeia e, portanto, a sua política externa também nessa dimensão da segurança e da defesa.

The bill to reform the 231 model introduces the analysis of organizational fault, overcoming the distinction between top management and subordinates and requiring the Public Prosecutor to identify specific organizational shortcomings. On the technological front, Legislative Decree 160 introduces sanctions for the failure of human oversight in high-risk artificial intelligence systems. The accident prevention sector highlights a critical issue in the residential sphere, where between 3 and 4 million events are estimated annually and about 8,000 domestic deaths occur, compared to about 1,000 in the workplace. Jurisprudence is extending accident prevention principles to condominiums, configuring them as workplaces where the administrator is responsible for risks to residents and visitors. There is a call for clear legislation for the residential sector that defines duties without relying exclusively on workplace rules. The reform of the professions has been initiated with the approval of an enabling bill without any opposing votes. Proposals include qualification through a 9-CFU practical evaluation internship to replace the State exam and countering the fragmentation of professionals. The goal is to guarantee free and independent professions capable of preserving the citizen's freedom through broad specializations and continuous training. • « Integrated compliance, in fact, has a technical grammar that resides in the UNI 11961 standard, which, already published in 2024, offers those guidelines to connect the compliance management system with the 231 model » (Speaker 1, 03:54) • « the bill to reform the 231 model, which was approved last August, also provides for the analysis of organizational fault, therefore overcoming the distinction between top management and subordinates https://videos.polyfact.com/it-camera-32788-vod/manifest.m3u8 3443 2026-11-05 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/it-senato-126721-live 2026-11-05 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/it-senato-126721-live/20261105193025/1280.jpg Conferenza stampa: Presentazione del libro "Budapest 1956.

I giorni della rivolta" Senate: Presentation of the book Budapest 1956. The Days of the Revolt by Umberto Maiorca At the Nassirya Hall of the Senate, the book Budapest 1956. The Days of the Revolt by Umberto Maiorca is presented. The work uses the historical novel format to narrate how Soviet tanks extinguished the dream of freedom of an entire people. The speakers emphasize how this event was often silenced due to political censorship or geopolitical reasons, despite its prophetic value regarding the fall of the Berlin Wall in '89. The debate highlights the contrast between the desire for democracy of the youth of Budapest and communist totalitarianism. The split within the Italian Communist Party and Togliatti's cynicism in the face of the repression carried out by the Red Army are recalled. The discussion also touches on the role of figures such as John Paul II and the Reagan administration in bringing about the end of political communism in Europe. Finally, the reflection shifts to the current relevance of defending freedom against conditioning and interference. The so-called democratic shield is cited as a response to the desire to influence public opinion, which is made more dangerous today by the digital world. The goal of the book is to recover a history that is a symbol of the anti-communist struggle and to evoke a feeling of gratitude in the reader. • « the Soviet tanks extinguished the dream of change, and above all of freedom, of an entire people is, obviously, an important anniversary from a historical point of view, also because it is not adequately and not always adequately remembered » (Speaker 2, 01:37) • « Therefore, freedom and democracy are not just data and elements to be acquired, even at a high price as happened and as the boys of Budapest wanted, but also to be defended when one has them, against conditioning and interference » (Andrea De Priamo, 07:38) • « but above all, the prophetic value of that revolt remains with us, because what began in Budapest and what Maiorca reminds us of with meticulousness is what https://videos.polyfact.com/it-senato-126721-vod/manifest.m3u8 3014 2026-11-05 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/I-296813-vod 2026-11-05 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/I-296813-vod/20261105193014/1280.jpg EU-Western Balkans Ministerial Forum on Justice and Home Affairs (JHA) in Budva, Montenegro EU-Western Balkans Ministerial Forum on Justice and Home Affairs in Budva At the EU-Western Balkans Ministerial Forum in Budva, officials discussed security, migration, and the fight against organized crime. Michael McGrath reported that illegal crossings on the Western Balkans route fell by 95% between 2022 and 2026 under a specific Action Plan. Since 2021, more than €350 million in pre-accession funding has been provided for migration projects in the region. Additionally, around 500 Frontex officers are currently deployed following status agreements with North Macedonia, Montenegro, Albania, Serbia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Participants agreed to strengthen cooperation against online threats, including cyberattacks, fraud, and child sexual abuse involving deep fakes and AI-generated material. There is a highlighted need to improve digital investigation and forensic capabilities while enhancing cooperation with online platforms. Montenegro was specifically congratulated for its full alignment with EU visa policy and its development of a national coordination center for border surveillance. Digital tools are already showing results in border management. In its first year, the Entry/Exit System turned away 80,000 individuals with no right to enter the EU, including approximately 2,000 who posed a security threat. The forum confirmed that contemporary security challenges require strong mutual cooperation and the building of institutions that consistently apply European standards to protect citizens' rights. • « Under the Action Plan for the Western Balkans, illegal crossings on this route fell by 95% between 2022 and 2026 » (Michael McGrath, 19:38) • « We are therefore stepping up our support through operational partnerships, regional projects, and more than €350 million of pre-accession funding for migration projects in the Western Balkans since 2021 » (Michael McGrath, 21:06) • « Digital tools already deliver: in its first year, the Entry/Exit System turned away 80,000 with no right to enter the EU directly https://videos.polyfact.com/I-296813-vod/manifest.m3u8 1682 2026-11-05 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/I-297174-vod 2026-11-05 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/I-297174-vod/20261105163104/1280.jpg European Commission Wopke HOEKSTRA in Athens, Greece European Commission and Greek Ministry for Environment and Energy on Innovation Fund **Innovation Fund and Greek companies** « Και είχαμε την ευκαιρία σήμερα, στην αίθουσα αυτή, να συναντηθούμε με τέσσερις Ευρωπαίους πρωταθλητές.

Wopke Hoekstra described the site as an example of Greek and European entrepreneurship that brings together renewables and competitiveness. He noted the importance of driving down prices and being future-oriented. The airport was originally built as a greenfield project under a public-private arrangement. Stavros Papastavrou congratulated the leadership of the airport for this pan-European example. He stated that the initiative demonstrates how to move forward with increased competitiveness while respecting the environment.

This commitment is being carried forward with the government, Parliament, and the Commission on Suburbs. Alessandro Battilocchio reported that external missions have reached all 14 Italian metropolitan cities, highlighting that social criticalities and vulnerabilities are often found in historic centers and near railway stations. The theme of the periphery is addressed not only in a geographical sense but as an existential periphery, placing the individual at the center. The Caivano Decree was described as a prophetic act and a turning point for security and employment. Speaker 5, representing the National Youth Council, emphasized how the suburbs are places where the beauty and talent of the best youth energies are expressed. The shared goal is to mend the center with the periphery to create a unique city where everyone is equal. Examples of transformation were cited for Scampia, which today hosts a university, a community garden, and a library. The Caivano Decree must be extended to all suburbs so as not to forget anyone, transforming what is considered marginal into a resource and an opportunity. • « we can realize and we are and can become more conscious that by starting from the resolution of the problems of the suburbs we arrive at saving what is the center of the universe and therefore, let's say, this is a fact that we are carrying forward with the government, with Parliament, and with the Commission on Suburbs » (Michele Schiano di Visconti, 01:08) • « how, here, today it becomes very important to address the theme of the periphery no longer just as a geographical periphery on the margins of a city, but as an existential periphery, that is, the individual at the center » (Speaker 8, 13:37) • « I appreciated the commitment of this https://videos.polyfact.com/it-camera-32786-vod/manifest.m3u8 2043 2026-11-05 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/it-senato-126715-live 2026-11-05 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/it-senato-126715-live/20261105163041/1280.jpg Conferenza stampa: Presentazione del libro "Il musicista e la sirena" Presentazione del libro "Il musicista e la sirena" di Leonetta Bentivoglio.

The work is based on real documents, including a collection of approximately 700 letters and the musician's diaries, to narrate a love story intertwined with artistic creativity in a Europe marked by the conflicts of World War I. The narrative adopts a two-voice structure that alternates between the author's perspective and that of the protagonist. The meeting between Janáček and Kamila at the Luhačovice spa triggers an incessant creative urgency in the composer. Despite their age difference and the fact that she did not fully understand his music, she becomes his mermaid and a source of inspiration for works produced in rapid succession. The text also addresses themes such as senile eroticism and harmonic free will, moving beyond a purely musicological dimension to offer a literary and human reading. The publishing initiative is presented as an operation of high civic and cultural value, necessary in an era of digital fragmentation and the loss of historical memory. Through the story of Janáček's childhood in Brno and his musical training, the book contributes to the cohesion of European identity, recovering the common past of Eastern theaters and the Central European culture also evoked by the figure of Freud. • « It is a book, the author will tell us about it later, dedicated to passion, a romantic passion that intertwines with a great, visceral, overwhelming passion for music, that of one of the most contemporary and important composers on the European scene » (Speaker 2, 00:14) • « Publishing this book meant for us firmly believing in the value of culture as a tool for European cohesion and identity.

The situation in the Middle East has resulted in paying more than 120 billion euros more for energy this year without receiving an extra molecule. Following the full-scale invasion in February '22, Europe saw its vulnerability due to dependence on Russia. Consequently, the Union decided to ban the import of Russian gas, with a ban on oil to follow. Croatia is helping ensure that Slovakia and Hungary get the oil they need. Energy security is essential for overall security. To fight climate change, record numbers of gigawatts of new renewables are being deployed, with 89 gigawatts last year. One gigawatt can supply one million homes with electricity. In Croatia, a subsidy scheme for energy-intensive companies is considered a good idea because it is conditioned on companies reducing their dependence on fossils. It is necessary to subsidize things not normally subsidized because people are freezing. In the housing sector, some places face problems where building owners make more money by throwing out residents to create shadow hotels of short-term rentals. While people are demonstrating in the streets, it shows they believe politicians can make a difference in their lives. The European Union represents 27 countries with the biggest free economy in the world, making a difference in international negotiations now that the US has stepped back. • « So, the cost of living, the lack of affordability for normal people in our Union is a very big concern.

Over the last 15 years, 1.5 million people have moved their residence abroad. The phenomenon hits graduates hard: while only 25% of young Italians hold a degree, about half of those who emigrate are graduates. Among those who leave, one in ten is a PhD holder. The impact on GDP is estimated at approximately 1.5 billion euros per year, with a demographic outlook of a 1.2 million person decrease by 2050. The economic conditions for young people remaining in Italy appear critical. 43% of workers under 35 earn less than 1,000 euros per month. In the post-doctoral research sector, the median net salary is 1,630 euros, with 28% of staff working over 46 hours per week without protections for overtime or illness. The university system is suffering from the collapse of the right to study: the average annual cost for a student is 12,000 euros, compared to scholarships that stop at 4,000 euros, fueling the category of 'eligible but non-beneficiary' students. Regarding investments, Italy allocates only 1.4% of GDP to research and 0.9% to education, figures significantly lower than European partners like Germany. Demands to policymakers include increasing education spending to 5% of GDP, ending free labor through unpaid internships and traineeships, and intervening on entry-level wages. Critical management of public schools is also reported, with 14,000 cuts to teachers and ATA staff and a shortage of hours for support for students with disabilities. • "The data, let's say, is merciless because we are talking about approximately 35,000 young people who on average leave Italy every year, with significant impacts on GDP of about 1.5 billion and with demographic estimates, let's say in perspective by 2050, showing a decrease of about 1,200,000 people" (Speaker 1, 01:22) • "Eurispes data tells us that 43% of https://videos.polyfact.com/it-senato-126709-vod/manifest.m3u8 10808 2026-11-05 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/it-senato-126712-live 2026-11-05 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/it-senato-126712-live/20261105183037/1280.jpg Convegno: Diritti e politiche tra rischi e resilienza Diritti e politiche tra rischi e resilienza: quale compito per l’Europa.

Graziano Delrio emphasizes how the European Union must choose between healing or dying, reiterating the primacy of politics over economics and the need for de facto solidarity to build peace. The debate highlights the importance of revitalizing the European dream and federalism, which is also historically rooted in theological visions and pacts between peoples. On the civil rights front, the analysis focuses on the Cirinnà law and the structural fragility of national regulation of family relationships. Constitutional jurisprudence has recently opened up to international adoption for single people, but the issue of fully standardizing the contents of civil unions with those of marriage remains open, especially regarding filiation and access to parenthood. The right not to believe emerges as a pillar of freedom of conscience, with a call for an equal dialogue between institutions, religious denominations, and philosophical organizations. In Italy, over 10 million non-believers are calling for the elimination of privileges and a fair representation of the individual, while at the European level, the Belgian model is observed, which ensures forms of public support for organized secularism. Finally, the governance of religious diversity sees local administrations, such as Turin, at the forefront of managing pluralism in the absence of an updated national regulatory framework. Experts warn against the artificial construction of the category of 'sect' and attempts to reintroduce the crime of 'plagiarism' (brainwashing), reiterating that the freedom of minorities serves as a sentinel for the democratic health of the entire society. • « Well, Europe is a bit faced with this choice today and it will either be able to heal or die depending on the choices of the citizens, because as the https://videos.polyfact.com/it-senato-126712-vod/manifest.m3u8 13520 2026-11-05 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/pt-parlamento-20261105-clean-1400-live 2026-11-05 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/pt-parlamento-20261105-clean-1400-live/20261105204518/1280.jpg Audição do Ministro da Defesa Nacional Audição do Ministro da Defesa Nacional, Nuno Melo, no âmbito da apreciação, na especialidade, do Orçamento do Estado para 2027, com participação do Secretário de Estado Adjunto e da Defesa Nacional, Álvaro Castelo Branco, e do Secretário de Estado Adjunto e da Política da Defesa Nacional, Nuno Pinheiro Torres (conjunta com a Comissão de Defesa Nacional) https://videos.polyfact.com/pt-parlamento-20261105-clean-1400-live/manifest.m3u8 23518 2026-11-05 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/5990150_6aec6d6a4b61c-live 2026-11-05 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/5990150_6aec6d6a4b61c-live/20261105180035/1280.jpg Séance publique du 5 novembre 2026 (après-midi) Senate: employment of foreigners, municipal reserves, and European strategy regarding Ukraine The Senate rejected the bill aimed at facilitating the employment of foreigners in sectors facing labor shortages. Articles 1 and 2, which provided for regularization based on objective criteria and the removal of the verification of employment reality respectively, were not adopted. The debates pitted the desire to meet the labor needs of the French economy against the defense of the discretionary power of prefects. Regarding civil security, senators discussed the promotion of municipal reserves, the number of which has increased by 25% in one year to reach 967 units. The text notably provides for the removal of the 15-day annual activity cap for reservists and the reduction of the employer's response time to 48 hours in the event of a major crisis. Amendments also addressed lowering the age of engagement to 14 and creating a label for partner employers. Finally, a debate on Ukraine analyzed the consequences of the American midterms. While Donald Trump's defeat is perceived as an opportunity, speakers emphasized the need for Europe to strengthen its strategic autonomy and financial support. Positions diverge on the continuation of aid, with some pointing to French budgetary constraints while others call for using frozen Russian assets to finance Ukrainian defense. • "The articles of the bill having been successively deleted by the Senate, there is no longer a text to vote on.

According to the 2021 Census, more than a third of the country's buildings were in need of repairs. The association argues that allowing existing structures to deteriorate is a cost the country cannot afford, emphasizing that rehabilitation helps reduce the demand for new houses. The main proposal presented is the application of the reduced VAT rate to all works in common areas, including materials and the repair or modernization of elevators. Currently, the reduced rate only covers materials when they do not exceed 20% of the value of the work. It is highlighted that the Tax Authority continues to exclude elevator repairs from this rate, despite contrary decisions by the Court of Justice of the European Union. On the fiscal front, ANPAC points out an inequality between those who rent and those who live in their own permanent housing. While landlords can deduct building quotas and works from their property income tax (IRS), resident owners do not have this possibility. The association recalls that VAT incentives have benefited new construction and local accommodation, but not residents in horizontal property. Finally, the importance of regulating the condominium administration activity is highlighted to ensure greater transparency and efficiency in building management. The debate also addressed the need to include horizontal property buildings in decarbonization and energy efficiency funds, given that the majority of the population resides in these structures. • « a measure that seems more impactful to us in what we propose to solve, which is the housing crisis, would be the reduction of the VAT rate, and it is not for nothing that it appears first, because it has immediate effects » (Speaker 2, 18:51) • « We understand, however, that the response will remain incomplete if it does not include, https://videos.polyfact.com/pt-parlamento-20261105-s1-1230-vod/manifest.m3u8 1672 2026-11-05 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/I-297090-vod 2026-11-05 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/I-297090-vod/20261105133104/1280.jpg European Commissioner Valdis DOMBROVSKIS at the CEPS Event: Presentation of the 2026 Annual European Commissioner Valdis Dombrovskis Presents 2026 Report on Simplification, Implementation and Enforcement Commissioner Valdis Dombrovskis outlined the 2027 Commission Work Programme, which prioritizes simplification in banking, transport, housing, and digital rules, alongside the acceleration of permitting procedures. A bank competitiveness and simplification package is expected in spring next year. The Commission is also pursuing an action plan for regulatory deep-cleaning across 12 priority areas. Dombrovskis emphasized that simplification is not deregulation and will not abandon high social or environmental standards. A central initiative is the call for a pact against gold-plating involving member states, the European Parliament, and the Council. This pact represents a political commitment by member states to avoid adding national requirements that raise compliance costs and fragment the single market. To support this, the Commissioner highlighted the need for impact assessments of substantial amendments introduced during the legislative process to avoid unintended burdens. Regarding enforcement, the Commission closed 499 infringement procedures as member states aligned their rules with EU law, with 92% of these cases resolved without a referral to the Court. Implementation efforts include simplicity by design principles and high-level consultation tools for commissioners to interact with stakeholders. While discussing AI applications in regulation, Dombrovskis noted instances where AI referred to non-existent rules, stressing the need for efficiently functioning legal systems to ensure predictable results. • « The gold-plating of EU rules by member states is a problem that raises compliance costs and fragments the single market. That is why we have called for a pact against gold-plating involving member states, European Parliament, and Council » (M.

Although the increase in the representation of students, PhD candidates, and medical residents from 3 to 7 members has been welcomed, several associations point out a disproportionate contraction of the teaching component, particularly researchers. ARTeD and ADI denounce the exclusion of researchers caused by merging them into a single electoral pool with associate professors, proposing the restoration of reserved seats and active voting rights for precarious staff. On an institutional level, there is a fear that the CUN will be transformed from a university parliament into a technical committee ancillary to the government. The associations demand that the body maintain a consultative character and unified representation, restoring the binding nature of opinions on key matters and ensuring that the system can express itself on crucial issues such as the Ordinary Financing Fund and the evaluation of the university system. Specific critical issues concern the electoral mechanisms of the student component, with observations on the lack of coincidence between the number of elected members and the planned constituencies, as well as the risk of marginalizing smaller universities. ANDU also proposes a profound revision of governance, requesting that disciplinary action be entrusted to a collegiate university body independent of the rector and that the judgment of professors be the responsibility of a national disciplinary board. • « The core of this regulatory intervention under examination essentially provides for a reduction in the composition of the body from 58 to 38 members, accompanied by a redefinition of the Council's own powers » (Speaker 13, 17:12) • « However, this commendable rebalancing highlights clearly how the entire weight of the body's contraction has been https://videos.polyfact.com/it-camera-32777-vod/manifest.m3u8 3104 2026-11-05 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/pt-parlamento-20261105-s1-1230-live 2026-11-05 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/pt-parlamento-20261105-s1-1230-live/20261105133031/1280.jpg Audiência da Associação Nacional de Profissionais de Administração de Condomínios (ANPAC) Audiência da Associação Nacional de Profissionais de Administração de Condomínios (ANPAC), no âmbito da apreciação, na especialidade, do Orçamento do Estado para 2027, com participação de Alexandre Teixeira Mendes, Joana Gonçalves e Ana Paula Salgueiro https://videos.polyfact.com/pt-parlamento-20261105-s1-1230-live/manifest.m3u8 3101 2026-11-05 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/I-297284-vod 2026-11-05 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/I-297284-vod/20261105130100/1280.jpg European Commission President Ursula von der LEYEN in Trenčín, Slovakia for the V4+ Presidential European Commission President Ursula von der LEYEN at V4+ Presidential Summit in Trenčín During the V4+ Presidential Summit in Trenčín, participants noted that the original dialogue is progressing.

This marks the first time a policy has been proposed at this level to call on member states regarding the respect and valuation of the teaching profession. While the Commission does not decide on salaries or recruitment, it advocates for a constant dialogue between member states, teacher unions, and social partners. The goal is to bring the profession back to a level of prestige and motivation necessary for competitiveness and democratic resilience. Education must be placed at the center of budgetary and economic policymaking at both European and national levels. This includes supporting young people with quality training for difficult classrooms and empowering experienced teachers at the end of their careers. Examples from Ireland show the benefit of having multiple supporting staff in schools. Furthermore, the Commission is exploring ethical, values-based AI solutions for schools that utilize protected infrastructure and cloud systems. Regarding national legislation, member states maintain exclusive competence over the organization of their educational systems, provided they remain in line with European law. The Commission is monitoring the situation in Italy, where a decree awaits parliamentary conversion into law. While the Commission upholds the right to quality education and maintains collaboration with Italian authorities, it notes that discrimination under EU law can only be limited to very specific cases. • « It is the first time that European Commission proposes a policy, or a Council recommendation in this case, specifically addressing the working conditions of teachers, calling on the member states on what is to be done » (Intervenant 2, 05:03) • « it makes the case for how important it is to act at European and national level, in the sense of putting education, as I said, at the center of our https://videos.polyfact.com/I-297283-vod/manifest.m3u8 1250 2026-11-05 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/it-camera-32784-vod 2026-11-05 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/it-camera-32784-vod/20261105140107/1280.jpg Presentazione libri sulla Val Boreca: "Volevamo solo Ballare" e "Wellington HZ182 - La Bambina che Presentation of books on the Val Boreca: "Volevamo solo Ballare" (We Just Wanted to Dance) and "Wellington HZ182 - La Bambina che Spense la Bomba" (The Girl Who Extinguished the Bomb) - press conference by Roberto Traversi **Volevamo solo Ballare and the Vezimo bombing** « one talks about the aviators who were supposed to bomb, and the other book talks about a community that had simply, let's say, gathered to dance » — Speaker 2 « They were young people who simply wanted to dance, a bit like the title says, they just wanted to have an evening of leisure, to be together, to try to take their minds off the daily hardships for a bit » — Speaker 10 « Pippo is an Allied plane, probably; it is not certain, as Elisa said, that it was the one that dropped the bombs.

Aris denounced that his mother is being denied contact with the outside world and reiterated that her freedom cannot be traded for the political legitimacy of the military regime. The situation in the country is exacerbated by the detention of between 15,000 and 20,000 political prisoners held in inhumane conditions. The military regime has intensified its repression, launching over 2,100 airstrikes in 2025 against schools, hospitals, and places of worship. Furthermore, Myanmar has become the global epicenter of cyber slavery, with approximately 120,000 trafficking victims trapped in illicit operations. Filippo Sensi highlighted how the humanitarian emergency coexists with systematic human rights violations reported by the UN and Human Rights Watch. To counter the junta, Aris is asking Italy and Europe not to grant any diplomatic legitimacy to the regime or the sham elections called by the military. There has been a call for increased sanctions within the European framework, specifically targeting businesses linked to the junta and suppliers of aviation fuel. The goal is to stop financing and arming the oppressors to foster a democratic transition. On the international front, Piero Franco Fassino highlighted the need to bring the Myanmar issue back onto the global agenda, which is currently absorbed by conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. Aris also noted that China could become part of the solution, as its businesses in Myanmar continue to fail due to internal instability. • « I am here today before you not as a politician, not as a diplomat, but as a son whose mother, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, who is now 81 years old, remains unjustly detained by a military regime » (Speaker 5, 04:04) • « And https://videos.polyfact.com/it-senato-126742-vod/manifest.m3u8 2952 2026-11-05 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/pt-parlamento-20261105-clean-1200-vod 2026-11-05 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/pt-parlamento-20261105-clean-1200-vod/20261105140112/1280.jpg Audição do Conselho das Finanças Públicas Public Finance Council hearing on the 2027 State Budget proposal The Public Finance Council considers the forecast of a 0.1% of GDP surplus for 2027 to be plausible, although its own projection points to a 0.1% deficit. This overall balance depends significantly on the Social Security surplus, as the Central Administration shows a projected deficit of 2.8% of GDP, the highest value since 2017, excluding the pandemic period. The Council warns of a return to budget deficits as early as next year. There is a cumulative deviation of 0.9% of GDP in 2027 compared to the trajectory recommended by the Council of the European Union, before flexibility regarding defense. When this flexibility is incorporated, the cumulative deviation in the control account reaches 2 percentage points of GDP. Budgetary risks include a wage bill lower than expected, revenue from combating VAT fraud on fuels below expectations, and the possibility that the Resolution Fund may have to compensate BES creditors. The Public Finance Council points out the lack of clarification from the Ministry, which invoked confidentiality reasons for not responding to requests for information on capital expenditure components. The absence of data on the distribution of the effects of expenditure for storm response for 2026 and 2027 was also highlighted. Regarding investment, it is projected that, after the execution of the RRP, the public investment rate will settle at 2.8% of output, a value that remains below the European average. Employment growth may slow down and private investment faces risks related to interest rate trends. In the fiscal sphere, there are increases in specific consumption taxes, namely in carbon taxation and the ISP. • « the cumulative deviation from the trajectory proposed by the Government in the National Medium-Term Structural Budgetary Plan and recommended by the Council of the European Union reaches, in 2027, 0.9% of GDP before the flexibility associated with defense expenditure » (Speaker 1, 03:20) • « The Central Administration https://videos.polyfact.com/pt-parlamento-20261105-clean-1200-vod/manifest.m3u8 5645 2026-11-05 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/I-297076-vod 2026-11-05 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/I-297076-vod/20261105123130/1280.jpg EC Press conference by European Commission Executive Vice-President Roxana MÎNZATU on the Education European Commission Press Conference on the Education and Skills Package The European Commission has agreed on an education and skills package to address declining basic skills and teacher shortages. Currently, one out of three 15-year-olds underachieves in reading and mathematics. To reverse this decline in literacy, science, and digital skills, the Commission is proposing a Council recommendation and the creation of European Schools Alliances by 2027 to improve basic skills across borders. The package also addresses a crisis in the teaching profession, where 40% of the workforce is over 50 and 40% of pupils study in schools with teacher shortages. A proposed EU Teachers agenda asks member states to investigate barriers to joining the profession, while Teacher Academies 2.0 will focus on improving training ecosystems from 2027. Additionally, eight member states are already collaborating on digital infrastructure and AI tools for schools. Digital transformation is further addressed through a planned AI literacy certificate for pupils and a European Healthy Screens Pledge to manage screen time. In the vocational sector, the Commission aims to make vocational education a first choice rather than a second choice. A European VET strategy will connect training with employers in sectors like energy and construction through a sectoral training accelerator and new apprenticeship partnerships. Finally, the Commission is calling on national governments to place education at the center of their economic policies and budgetary decisions. Support for vocational training will be enhanced through a dedicated mobility marketplace platform to help smaller businesses share training capacity and attract apprentices. • « Today, our topic is very timely and very interesting, education package.

Executive Vice-President Roxana Mînzatu noted that one out of three 15-year-olds underachieves in reading and mathematics. To address this, the Commission proposes European Schools Alliances to improve basic skills across borders starting in 2027. The package calls on national governments to place education at the center of their economic and budgetary policies. A central pillar of the package is the EU Teachers Agenda. For the first time, the Commission is proposing a Council recommendation specifically addressing the working conditions of teachers to restore the prestige and motivation of the profession. While the Commission does not decide on salaries or recruitment, it proposes a constant dialogue between member states, teacher unions, and social partners. Renewed Teacher Academies will also be launched in 2027 to improve teacher training ecosystems. The package also focuses on technology and vocational training. The new European Digital Infrastructure Consortium (EduEDIC) involves eight member states joining forces to develop trusted AI tools and digital infrastructure for schools. The Commission plans to pilot an AI literacy certificate for pupils in the 2027-2028 academic year to help them understand AI and spot manipulation. Additionally, a sectoral training accelerator will be piloted in 2027 to design short training models for sectors such as energy and construction. Regarding digital safety, the Commission aims to develop an ecosystem of European, values-based AI solutions that protect data and empower children. This infrastructure is intended to be accessible to any school in Europe at no cost. On the subject of national legislation, the Commission is monitoring developments in Italy regarding student quotas, noting that discrimination under EU law can only be limited to very specific cases. https://videos.polyfact.com/I-297287-vod/manifest.m3u8 2104 2026-11-05 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/KjgeS4kO92E 2026-11-05 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/KjgeS4kO92E/hqdefault.jpg IN VIVU | SESSIONE PUBLICA ECCEZZIUNALE DI U 5 DI NUVEMBRE DI U 2026 Assembly of Corsica: solemn resolution for a political crisis exit **Crisis exit and political agreement** "In a spirit of responsibility, four groups in this assembly have produced and constructed a text that attempts to reflect the work that has been carried out over the past four and a half years; that was our first objective.

This unique system generates a registration number or barcode for each entity, allowing for the monitoring of its entire lifecycle, from creation and data validation to subsequent updates. The management and compliance verification of the records will be the responsibility of a Management Council to be elected by the Assembly of the Republic. In the case of representing the interests of third parties, the platform requires the autonomous registration of both the representative and the third party being represented, to avoid opacity. Entities must declare clients and income, even if the activity is residual. For economic groups, the variable corporate structure may require individual registrations per entity, although the platform provides for the possibility of identifying membership in a group. Employees and service providers working for registered entities do not need to be listed individually in the system. The information made publicly available on the platform is searchable and based on legal provisions, allowing searches by name or tax identification number. The system will become operational on January 1st, with the current working group assuming transitional functions to compile the list of entities subject to registration, including an ex officio registration duty for social partners. The legislative footprint mechanism will require that interactions motivated by specific legislative initiatives identify the number of the bill or draft law.

However, the latest negotiation box from the Irish Presidency proposes an overall cut of 8% of the MFF as proposed by the Commission. Piotr Serafin warned that if Next Generation EU debt repayments are excluded, the Irish proposal sits at 1.02% of GNI, which is below the 1.13% agreed in 2020. Members expressed strong dissatisfaction with the Irish Presidency's proposal, with Jean-Marc GERMAIN stating there will never be consent from the house for such a budget. Fabienne KELLER emphasized that there will be no consent without a strong ambition on own resources. The Parliament's position calls for new own resources including a digital levy, an online gambling levy, and a crypto assets levy to finance the budget and repay debt. Siegfried MUREŞAN argued that a digital levy would ensure tech giants contribute a fair share for access to the single market. Commissioner Serafin highlighted that inflation has outpaced the fixed deflator of 2%, leading to massive losses in commitments and payments, particularly affecting farmers. He argued that a variable deflator is a necessary safeguard. Additionally, the Commissioner noted that the revised negotiation box includes a cut of almost 9% for the European public administration, which he warned could render decisions and statements empty words without a well-functioning service. • « In parallel, the latest negotiation box published by the Irish Presidency on October the 10th proposes an overall cut of 8% of the MFF as proposed by the Commission » (Johan VAN OVERTVELDT, 01:07) • « If we exclude the Next Generation EU debt repayments, the Irish presidency's negotiating box proposes a budget of 1.02% of GNI.

However, the Irish Presidency's negotiating box proposes a budget of 1.02% of GNI, which is below the 1.13% agreed in 2020. Members stated that this proposal is insufficient and will not be a basis for consent. To finance the budget and repay the NextGenerationEU debt starting in 2028, the Parliament calls for new own resources. Proposals include a digital levy, an online gambling levy, and a crypto-assets levy. While the Parliament estimates these could bring in double-digit billions, the Commission's estimation is lower at 9.4 billion. Commissioner Serafin warned that if member states block own resources, the budget will be even smaller. Concerns were raised regarding proposed cuts, including a 9% reduction for the European public administration and a 13% cut to competitiveness. Funding for Horizon and military mobility would be significantly affected. Additionally, the Commission noted that flexibility buffers have been reduced or cut, decreasing the capacity to fund common projects in areas like security and defense. Commissioner Serafin emphasized that the European Council must now build consensus among the 27 member states. While negotiations are tough, the Commission believes it is too early to report on the consequences of having no agreement. The budget remains an investment tool that leverages national, regional, and municipal spending, with returns from the single market exceeding member state investments. • « If we exclude the Next Generation EU debt repayments, the Irish Presidency's negotiating box proposes a budget of 1.02% of GNI.

As early as the end of the 14th century, an authentic form of football played only with the feet was practiced in Prato, unlike Florentine football which was played with a clenched fist. This sport evolved through the use of the wooden bracciale, a tool that influenced modern disciplines such as tennis and padel, maintaining the same scoring system. Nineteenth-century players were considered true artists and athletes, protagonists of spectacles that attracted fans, betting, and even the attention of cardinals in Rome. Figures like Bruno Banchini testify to the importance of these athletes, who were hired with formal sports contracts. The popularity of the game led to the construction of sferisteri (arenas) in various cities, including Rome at the Quattro Fontane and the Arena di Belvedere. Today, the tradition of sferistic sports continues with the creation of the first national museum in the Alta Langa. For the future, a merger between the Pallapugno Federation and the Tamburello Federation is being considered to strengthen the presence of these sports at a national level. Despite the evolution of the times, these games remain symbols of identity that celebrate the athletic and cultural value of the Italian tradition. • « And this publication today, which is something very particular, that I from Prato didn't know, I must be honest, I believe many people from Prato didn't know about this, the game of palla and pallone that was born right in Prato » (Erica Mazzetti, 02:08) • « Gilles Ménage writes that the authentic football was the one from Prato, because Florentine football was played with a clenched fist, in Prato it was played only with the foot and as early as the end of the 14th century » (Speaker 16, 45:28) • « starting from the simplest things, the score which is 15-30, once 45, and game.

Italy remains the only major European country without a framework climate law. The proposal aims to establish binding rules to avoid EU infringement proceedings and to coordinate policies between the State, Regions, and autonomous provinces, such as Bolzano, which requires strengthened territorial legislative tools. On the economic front, the Italian manufacturing industry must be supported in a transformation that rewards innovation and sustainable models. However, three out of four companies face obstacles due to initial costs and regulatory uncertainty. Although the renewable energy sector covered approximately 41% of electricity demand in 2025 with the installation of 7 GW, 10 GW per year would be needed to reach the 2030 targets. It is also noted that the new budget law lacks funding for the National Climate Change Adaptation Plan. The impact of climate change is evident: drought has cost Italy 24 billion euros in three years, and 95% of municipalities are at risk of landslides or floods. The protection of the environment and health is now enshrined in Articles 9 and 41 of the Constitution, amended in 2022. This legal framework imposes new responsibilities for the protection of workers exposed to extreme conditions, such as agricultural laborers or firefighters, and for countering land consumption accelerated by real estate financial assets. National emissions estimated for 2025 have grown by 9 million tons of CO2 equivalent, increasing the gap from the 2030 targets. The transport sector also shows delays, with the number of electric cars on the road equal to one-tenth of the set target. Faced with the parliamentary stalemate, the transformation of the climate bill into a popular initiative proposal is being considered to collect the 50,000 necessary signatures. • https://videos.polyfact.com/it-senato-126679-vod/manifest.m3u8 6542 2026-11-05 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/20261105-1100-COMMITTEE-JURI-vod 2026-11-05 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/20261105-1100-COMMITTEE-JURI-vod/20261105114620/1280.jpg Committee on Legal Affairs – Ordinary Meeting Committee on Legal Affairs discusses regulatory fitness, Cloud and AI Development Act **Regulatory fitness and better lawmaking** « The next item on our agenda is the presentation of draft report on European Union regulatory fitness, subsidiarity and proportionality report on better lawmaking covering two years 2025 and 2026 » — Ilhan KYUCHYUK « From my side, I think that every proposal with a significant impact on the economy, on competitiveness, and on the public budgets should have one » — Jörgen WARBORN « During the legislative procedure, we in the Parliament and the Council table amendments that can change proposal substantially and its costs » — Jörgen WARBORN « This is one of the biggest problems for companies in the single market, and I welcome President von der Leyen's commitment to a pact against gold-plating » — Jörgen WARBORN « A proposal should not move forward while the board's objections remain unsolved, and its opinions should be public no later than the proposal itself » — Jörgen WARBORN « We need an annual public reporting on the total regulatory burden, what is added, and what is removed, and that has to be against a clear baseline » — Jörgen WARBORN « Ideas like the one in, two out principle are no more acceptable now than they were a couple of years ago » — René REPASI **Cloud and AI Development Act** « The regulation for Cloud and AI Development Act aims to multiply EU data center capacity by speeding up permits in designated acceleration zones and prioritizing frontier AI projects » — Ilhan KYUCHYUK « The Cloud and AI Development Act gives me a rare chance to achieve two goals at once: sovereignty and competitiveness » — Ilhan KYUCHYUK « Sustainability standards must apply both when acceleration zones are designated and when data centers are built » — Ilhan KYUCHYUK « A European first rule has two parts: at least 80% of capacity must go to operators established in the European Union and not controlled from third countries » — Ilhan KYUCHYUK « Four Union assurance level are too complex for https://videos.polyfact.com/20261105-1100-COMMITTEE-JURI-vod/manifest.m3u8 5868 2026-11-05 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/20261105-1100-COMMITTEE-JURI-live 2026-11-05 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/20261105-1100-COMMITTEE-JURI-live/20261105120109/1280.jpg Committee on Legal Affairs – Ordinary Meeting Committee on Legal Affairs – Ordinary Meeting **Regulatory fitness and better law-making** « The next item on our agenda is the presentation of draft report on European Union regulatory fitness, subsidiarity, and proportionality, report on better law-making, covering two years, 2025 and 2026 » — Ilhan KYUCHYUK « From my side, I think that every proposal with a significant impact on the economy, on competitiveness, and on the public budgets should have one » — Jörgen WARBORN « According to the EPRS, this Parliament has assessed its substantial amendments only 17 times since 2005.

Iran holds the record with 2,159 people killed, followed by Saudi Arabia with 356 and the United States with 47, the highest American figure since 2009. While China does not provide official figures, Lebanon has recently repealed capital punishment, bringing the number of totally abolitionist countries to 114, despite the reinstatement of the measure in Burkina Faso. In Italy, the principle of the humanity of punishment is enshrined in Article 27 of the Constitution, which since 2007 has excluded any exceptions, including military wartime laws. Despite a history rooted in the thought of Cesare Beccaria, until 1991 Istat polls showed a prevalence of citizens in favor of the death penalty. Total abolition from military codes only arrived in 1994. The photographic project presented analyzes how executions, once a public spectacle, have been hidden in administrative spaces, becoming bureaucratic affairs. However, new forms of visibility are emerging, such as the hypothesis of streaming executions in the United States, described as a form of sadism and galvanization of sentiments. The reflection highlights how the threat of death represents torture in itself and how the State must not fight violence by reproducing it. • "The most recent Amnesty data tells us that at least 2,707 executions were documented worldwide in 2025. The highest number recorded by the organization since 1981" (Stefano Vaccari, 03:20) • "And so the record for monstrosity and cruelty is held by Iran with 2,159 people killed. Then we move on to Saudi Arabia with 356. From there, we jump to the United States and reach 47" (Laura Boldrini, 27:46) • "And Article 27 of the Constitution states it very clearly: the death penalty is not allowed. There is no possibility of interpreting this sentence" (Laura Boldrini, https://videos.polyfact.com/it-camera-32776-vod/manifest.m3u8 4254 2026-11-05 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/it-camera-32782-vod 2026-11-05 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/it-camera-32782-vod/20261105120135/1280.jpg Presentazione del rapporto: Minacce crescenti al pluralismo e all'indipendenza dei media - Valentina Grippo presents report on growing threats to media pluralism and independence Valentina Grippo reports data from the University of Gothenburg's Varieties of Democracy project, according to which 74% of the world's population will live in an autocracy by the end of 2025. Five main threats that put traditional journalism at risk are highlighted, including news deserts where it is difficult to access reliable information from independent local media. In Italy, nearly 3,000 newsstands have closed in the last ten years, and there has been a 32% drop in local newspaper sales. Regarding ownership, Grippo points out as an anomaly the case of a majority party deputy who owns three national newspapers and attempted to acquire a press agency. The creation of a European database of media ownership with free public access is proposed. Speakers emphasize that in Italy, 'pure' publishers are a chimera and that the law on editorial concentration dates back to 1981, a different geological era. Strategic lawsuits against public participation (SLAPPs) have increased by 56% in the last year. The transposition of the anti-SLAPP directive, limited only to cross-border cases, is criticized as a palliative since most lawsuits do not have this characteristic. Regarding funding, it is noted that the publishing fund has about 230 million euros, less than half of what is allocated to the press in France. Artificial intelligence represents a new challenge because tools like ChatGPT are not considered media or gatekeepers and do not fall under the rules imposed on Google. The theft of content by platforms to train machines and the impact on employment are denounced, with freelancers now representing 80% of the profession. Ad hoc regulation is requested to protect investigative journalism as a bulwark against artificial intelligence. • "Well, the Varieties of Democracy project at the University of Gothenburg, which measures the state of democracy in 179 countries every year, tells us that by the end of 2025, listen carefully, https://videos.polyfact.com/it-camera-32782-vod/manifest.m3u8 5089 2026-11-05 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/20261105-1030-COMMITTEE-LIBE-vod 2026-11-05 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/20261105-1030-COMMITTEE-LIBE-vod/20261105121619/1280.jpg Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs Ordinary meeting Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs Ordinary meeting **EU-US framework agreement on security screenings** « And it's about the exchange of views with the Commission on the outcome of the negotiations and proposals for Council decisions on the signing and conclusion of the EU-US framework agreement on security screenings and identity verifications » — Javier ZARZALEJOS « The agreement establishes the conditions and safeguards governing that reciprocal the reciprocal exchange of information for identity verification, screening, and vetting in connection with border procedures and applications for travel authorizations and visas » — Javier ZARZALEJOS « The specific arrangements for such exchanges would laid down in bilateral agreements between the member states and the United States, which must comply with the framework agreement and with union law » — Javier ZARZALEJOS « So, we needed to change the perspective from an agreement that would allow direct connection to member states systems to actually a system that allows exchange of information based on more traditional ways of queries and answers between partners » — Olivier Onidi « the assurances that the purpose would be strictly and the scope would be strictly limited, i.e., we would only cover purposes linked with border and visa processing, and not go beyond this » — Olivier Onidi « The automated phase can actually only provide a yes and no.

For the first time, very large online platforms must account for media freedom when moderating professional content, while media service providers gain the right to challenge decisions interfering with editorial choices. However, experts note that current definitions may exclude certain services, such as ChatGPT, which is designated as a search engine rather than an online platform. A central concern is the prominence of media services on connected TVs and user interfaces. Without effective prominence rules, European broadcasters risk becoming invisible to viewers. There is growing support for an ambitious EU framework to ensure prominent access to professional media content. Some regulators suggest that mandatory prominence measures should be introduced through future proposals to ensure consistency across the EU, prioritizing editorially responsible publishers on devices before addressing algorithmic prominence. Implementation must respect subsidiarity and regional competences while maintaining media supervision independent from government. In rural areas, the threat of 'media desertification' is rising as advertising revenue shifts toward internet platforms. To support the ecosystem, some suggest that platforms dominating the market could be subject to a digital levy to fund journalism, or be required to contribute to diversity funds managed by independent bodies. Trust in news is falling, particularly among young people, as consumption fragments due to personalized recommendations on social media. Coordinated activity can create artificial visibility and a false appearance of organic support, making it difficult for citizens to distinguish genuine debate from amplified narratives.

Nathalie Delattre denounces advertisements offering housing in exchange for "intimate moments," viewing it as an exploitation of the basic need for a roof over one's head. The unanimously adopted text chooses to rely on the offense of abuse of weakness by incorporating the vulnerability linked to the victim's economic or social precariousness. This classification allows for the perpetrators to be punished with three years of imprisonment and a 375,000 euro fine. The debate continues on facilitating the employment of foreigners in sectors facing labor shortages. Maryse Carrère and Ahmed Laouedj propose replacing the prefect's discretionary power with the automatic issuance of a residence permit for workers who can prove three years of presence in France and twelve months of employment. They also wish to remove criminal penalties for employers recruiting in these sectors in order to move away from a form of collective hypocrisy. The Government and several speakers oppose this paradigm shift. Marie-Pierre Vedrenne asserts that regularization cannot become an automatic right and must remain a decision of the State taken on a case-by-case basis. She announces the upcoming publication of a circular to clarify the processing criteria and extend the current mechanism beyond December 31. Some speakers fear that an enforceable right against the prefect would disarm the State in the face of illegal work and the exploitation of vulnerable workers. • "Voters: 281, votes cast: 281, for: 281, against: 0. The text of the bill is adopted" (Mr. Roger Karoutchi, 01:06:59) • "The text we are proposing adds to the causes of vulnerability already recognized by law, solely for the case of a sexual act solicited in exchange for housing, accommodation, or a rental benefit, the economic or social precariousness of the https://videos.polyfact.com/5989519_6aec3f6530083-vod/manifest.m3u8 8339 2026-11-05 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/it-camera-32727-live 2026-11-05 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/it-camera-32727-live/20261105124530/1280.jpg Premio Bandiera Verde Agricoltura 2026 Alle ore 10.30, presso la Sala della Regina di Montecitorio si svolge la cerimonia di premiazione "Bandiera verde agricoltura 2026".

Since 2003, 282 agricultural companies and 122 municipalities have been awarded. The celebrated experiences tell the story of a sector capable of innovating, creating jobs, and managing land sustainably, despite a difficult period marked by rising production costs and falling prices paid to farmers. Stefano Vaccari points out the paradox of those who produce earning less and less while those who buy pay more. To counter supply chain distortions and unfair practices, it is necessary to make prices more transparent and support the aggregation of producers. Extraordinary interventions do not replace stable policies capable of preventing risks and supporting incomes. The need for adequate resources for the next Common Agricultural Policy is also highlighted, despite uncertain signals from the European Union. The awards include short supply chain models specialized in ancient grains, businesses dedicated to mushroom cultivation, and companies that protect biodiversity through truffle hunting or the production of PGI beans. Examples of social and collective agriculture show the management of hundreds of hectares based on sharing and animal welfare. In inland areas, rural communities put the common good before individual interests to counter the loss of inhabitants and services. Education and communication play a central role, with historic agricultural institutes integrating the use of drones and prescription maps. Extra-business initiatives and television segments contribute to telling the stories of those who guard the territory. Passion and the ability to reinvent oneself emerge as fundamental elements for new farmers facing the complex reality of daily work in the countryside. • "How is it possible that those who produce earn less and less https://videos.polyfact.com/it-camera-32727-vod/manifest.m3u8 8948 2026-11-05 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/it-camera-32733-live 2026-11-05 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/it-camera-32733-live/20261105111539/1280.jpg I giorni delle Costituenti - Un libro e un podcast della Camera dei deputati - Saluto di Ascani Alle ore 10.30, presso l'Aula dei Gruppi parlamentari della Camera si svolge la presentazione del volume "I giorni delle Costituenti - Un libro e un podcast della Camera dei deputati".

Among those elected were twenty-one women, protagonists of a long-silenced story that the Chamber has decided to bring to light through different media such as a book, a podcast, a comic book, and a film. These women knew how to act as a shield for generations to come and form a network among themselves to break down the wall of resistance and prejudice. The female deputies carried forward their battle with concreteness, passion, and intelligence, creating almost a fourth transversal alignment. Although they were few in number, they influenced issues such as the family and the right to work, seeking to overcome conditions of backwardness and inferiority. Although they faced defeats on issues such as equality in the judiciary or within the family, they laid the groundwork for future substantive equality. The initiative aims to convey to new generations an awareness of rights and a sense of responsibility as citizens. The Constitution must not be a text abandoned in a drawer, but must live in everyday life through actions and battles to expand rights and strengthen communities. The invitation to the youngest is to take ownership of these stories and make them their own. • « On June 2, 1946, Italians chose the Republic in the referendum and elected the Constituent Assembly, which would write our Constitution.

The goal of the Chinese program is to reach 90% of the economy through artificial intelligence by 2030, which is considered a lever for the overall transformation of the country. This scenario raises questions about transformations in the world of work, security, and data sharing, with China aiming to account for 12.5% of GDP in this sector by 2030. In the first half of 2026, trade between Italy and China amounted to 40 billion euros, marking a 5% growth compared to the previous year. Italy ranks as the third-largest European exporter to China, after Germany and France. Exponential growth is recorded in specific sectors, such as pharmaceuticals and, at the regional level in Lazio, the chemical substances and products sector with an increase of 538%. On the industrial front, companies are facing the need for localization and new governance strategies, favoring joint ventures over going it alone. An example of integration is represented by Haier Europe, which established its European headquarters in Italy after the acquisition of the Candy group. The company plans investments between 13 and 15 billion euros in IoT technologies and artificial intelligence over the next five years. The Chinese regulatory framework has become complex and sophisticated, regulating not only security but also economic policy, as in the case of drones. Data legislation now allows them to be considered assets in corporate balance sheets, while Chinese jurisdiction has normalized extraterritorial intervention. In this context, parliamentary diplomacy and a European strategy based on innovation and strategic autonomy are considered fundamental to managing asymmetries and industrial competitiveness. • "the impact of artificial intelligence is considered not only as a technology that has https://videos.polyfact.com/it-senato-126703-vod/manifest.m3u8 7039 2026-11-05 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/it-senato-126706-live 2026-11-05 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/it-senato-126706-live/20261105113124/1280.jpg Convegno: Premio Teipsum Premio Teipsum.

The speakers support the need to subject proposals to a credible analysis of economic consequences and costing, entrusting the Parliamentary Budget Office with the task of publishing the assessment. However, the expected timeframe of approximately three weeks is considered extremely tight for such a complex quantification process. To make the Parliamentary Budget Office's task feasible, it is suggested to establish strict thresholds and limits on the number of proposals to be verified, focusing on the priorities listed by the parties. It is considered fundamental to provide the Office with adequate resources, as the exercise entails significant burdens. Andrea De Priamo shares the need to limit the number of proposals subject to verification and to ensure the necessary means. The current economic context, marked by the new 2024 European budget rules and the reform of the Stability and Growth Pact, shifts the focus to the path of net expenditure. In this framework, public finance and public debt are fundamental. It is also proposed to support the parties by providing a common macroeconomic framework at the start of the process to ensure the consistency of the assessments. Finally, the debate touches on the participation of parties and coalitions. While some suggest making the presentation of programs mandatory, others point out that the sanction for those who do not participate can simply be political, linked to the lower credibility of unverified proposals. In the past, many lists of measures presented spending increases without indicating the necessary funding sources. • « the second, a second hearing cycle of hearings regarding today in this case Bill 550 on measures for the transparency of political parties' electoral programs » (Andrea De Priamo, 00:07) • « In the end, the Parliamentary Budget Office is given the responsibility of https://videos.polyfact.com/it-senato-126736-vod/manifest.m3u8 1964 2026-11-05 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/pt-parlamento-20261105-clean-0900-vod 2026-11-05 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/pt-parlamento-20261105-clean-0900-vod/20261105133100/1280.jpg Audição do Conselho Económico e Social Economic and Social Council hearing on the 2027 State Budget Proposal **Growth and Investment** « The proposal forecasts 2.1% growth based on a strong acceleration in private investment, which raises concerns for the CES » — Speaker 4 « It forecasts 10.4% growth in private investment when the average of independent projections is only 4.9%.

Regimes in Russia, China, Iran, and Belarus are cooperating and learning from each other's tactics to silence and repress opponents who have fled to the EU. These states target not only high-profile activists but also a broad circle of civilians, including priests, academics, and social media users. Between 2015 and 2025, data shows at least 5,995 human rights defenders, journalists, and trade unionists have been killed or disappeared globally. Perpetrators exploit loopholes in European systems, particularly the banking system and police cooperation mechanisms. Regimes misuse Interpol instruments and legal assistance requests by using fabricated criminal charges to seek arrests and extraditions. In Russia, new laws allow the state to restrict access to bank accounts, property, and essential consular services for citizens abroad. Additionally, the designation of individuals as terrorists or extremists feeds into global compliance databases, obstructing access to financial services for exiles. Victims report a wide range of harassment, including physical surveillance, death threats, and the intimidation of family members remaining in their home countries. In some cases, regimes use scholarship contracts or infiltration by agents to monitor and influence diaspora communities. There are also concerns regarding the manipulation of the European information space and the use of surveillance technologies to target those who criticize these governments. To counter these threats, speakers called for a coordinated EU strategy and a policy of zero tolerance. Proposed measures include the appointment of an EU coordinator for transnational repression, the creation of a centralized coordination unit, and the establishment of a legally binding international convention.

C'è un impegno per 50 milioni in più, mi auguro che sia rispettato » — Raffaele STANCANELLI « So, to recap to be very clear, what we have proposed is, and this needs to be confirmed by the budgetary authority, is to allocate 162 million for all promotion activities in 2027 » — Christophe Hansen **Simplification and administrative burden** « simplification, indeed, remains a cross-cutting priority of the Commission's work, and it is about making life easier for farmers, strengthening their competitiveness and allowing them to spend less time on paperwork and more time running their businesses » — Christophe Hansen « following the adoption of the CAP simplification package, and I would like to thank you again for your swift work on that, we moved to put in place the necessary secondary legislation and support member states in adapting their CAP https://videos.polyfact.com/20261105-1000-COMMITTEE-AGRI-vod/manifest.m3u8 9857 2026-11-05 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/20261105-1000-COMMITTEE-AGRI-live 2026-11-05 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/20261105-1000-COMMITTEE-AGRI-live/20261105120203/1280.jpg Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development Ordinary meeting Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development meeting on EU food promotion and simplification The European Commission has proposed a budget of 162 million euros for food promotion activities in 2027, following an additional mobilization of 50 million euros. This allocation includes 92 million for simple programs, 60 million for multi-programs, and 10 million for own initiatives to diversify export outlets. Members of the committee expressed concern that this total remains lower than the 205 million euro level seen in 2026, noting that every euro spent on trade promotion generates 172 euros in export revenue. Simplification remains a cross-cutting priority for the Commission to strengthen farmer competitiveness and reduce paperwork. Commissioner Christophe Hansen emphasized that simplification cannot be delivered by the Commission alone, calling on member states to avoid gold-plating by implementing EU rules without adding unnecessary national requirements. However, some members warned that constant changes to policies and the addition of other legislation, such as the Nature Restoration Law, continue to add to the administrative burden. Predictability for the next seven years is cited as essential to encourage farmer investment. The Commission is also looking at modernizing trade agreements, including a high-level mission to Mexico, and addressing challenges in public procurement by introducing quality criteria alongside price. Further discussions highlighted the need for consumers to distinguish European origin in processed products and the potential of artificial intelligence to monitor livestock and predict market risks or extreme weather events. • « As you have seen in the amending letter to the draft budget 2027, the Commission mobilized additional 50 million euros for the promotion budget, and once confirmed by the budget authority, this will allow us to allocate 162 million for all promotion activities in 2027 » (Christophe Hansen, 12:47) • « So, to recap, to be very clear, what we have proposed is, and https://videos.polyfact.com/20261105-1000-COMMITTEE-AGRI-live/manifest.m3u8 10053 2026-11-05 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/20261105-1000-DELEGATION-DIR-live 2026-11-05 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/it-camera-32781-vod 2026-11-05 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/it-camera-32781-vod/20261105103211/1280.jpg Trasparenza salariale e parità di genere nell'impresa - conferenza stampa di Vito De Palma Vito De Palma press conference on financial reporting and transparency **Reporting as a tool for transparency and quality** « We are here, as you all know, there is no need to say it, for the presentation of this volume, Reporting in Financing by Maurizio Maraglino Misciagna and produced by Lefebvre Giuffrè » — Speaker 2 « Reporting does not only mean representing the numbers correctly, presenting the procedures and their results correctly, but it means accounting for the choices made, ensuring transparency, and allowing for verification » — Speaker 2 « I wanted to ask him first of all why financial reporting is a matter of institutional quality today and not just a formality » — Speaker 2 « Yes, it is actually necessary because reporting, in addition to ensuring the transparency of spending, is also the engine of spending » — Speaker 7 « in England, reporting and accounting to citizens for what is done, especially from a political point of view, is an indispensable condition » — Vito De Palma **Challenges of managing and monitoring funding** « The real challenge is to be able to manage these resources, document them, monitor them, and demonstrate in the end not only that they were spent correctly, but that they produced the results for which they were assigned » — Speaker 4 « The message that emerges with great clarity from this book is that reporting cannot be considered a bureaucratic formality placed at the end of a project » — Speaker 4 « what does good reporting come from?

Antonio Salvatore Trevisi describes this strategic tool as a means to simplify the authorization process. The old 34 authorizations have been replaced by a single authorization, with fixed timelines and the principle of tacit consent. The government has increased financial resources for the SEZs, bringing them to 3 billion and 65 million in the 2027 budget. Italy aims to strengthen industrial development with China through a different approach compared to the Belt and Road Initiative, which was deemed unfavorable. China, as a new major global power, can offer technology, renewable energy, automotive, and robotics. An investment agreement from China of 3 billion and 600 million is indicated as available as soon as the decree is obtained. The goal is to create bridges between companies and research centers to foster the growth of Southern Italy. Regarding innovation, the creation of the first Net Zero Valley in Italy is proposed for the development of zero-emission technologies. In the aerospace sector, Italy boasts excellence involved in European programs such as Clean Sky and in the study of electric-powered airplanes. A confederation of distributed data centers is also suggested to ensure greater energy sustainability and resilience against cyberattacks compared to centralized models. • « Bringing together the 8 SEZs of Southern Italy into a single structure from January 1, 2024, which is now the largest SEZ in the Mediterranean, is a lever of fundamental importance to attract investment and foster the growth of Southern Italy » (Massimo Dell'Utri, 19:27) • « We are talking about the SEZ, which is a strategic tool to attract capital and investment to Italy because it simplifies the entire authorization process, therefore allowing for the acquisition and, above all, the https://videos.polyfact.com/it-senato-126700-vod/manifest.m3u8 7307 2026-11-05 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/20261105-0900-DELEGATION-DMAG-vod 2026-11-05 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/20261105-0900-DELEGATION-DMAG-vod/20261105093144/1280.jpg Delegation for relations with the Maghreb countries and the Arab Maghreb Union, including the Delegation for relations with the Maghreb countries and the Arab Maghreb Union, including the EU-Morocco, EU-Tunisia and EU-Algeria Joint Parliamentary Committees Joint Parliamentary Committee Meeting **Accordo di associazione and partenariato strategico** « L'accordo di associazione, in vigore dal 1998, il memorandum d'intesa del luglio 2023 su un partenariato strategico e globale, e ora il patto per il Mediterraneo » — Ruggero RAZZA « Un partenariato tra vicini si fonda anche su impegni condivisi compresi quelli previsti dall'articolo 2 dell'Accordo di associazione in materia di principi democratici e diritti fondamentali » — Ruggero RAZZA « هناك مسألة محورية متعلقة بمستقبل علاقاتنا الاقتصادية والحاجة لتطوير الإطار الذي ينظم شراكتنا ولا سيما اتفاقية الشراكة الموقعة سنة 95 » — Intervenant 5 « فإننا نتطلع من خلال الحوار الإيجابي والصريح والبناء بيننا إلى إعطاء دفع قوي لهذه الشراكة التي نريدها شراكة عادلة، منصفة، وخاصة متضامنة » — Intervenant 5 **Scambi merci and cooperazione** « L'Unione Europea è il primo partner commerciale della Tunisia con circa 26 miliardi di euro di scambi merci nel 2025 e di gran lunga è il suo più grande investitore » — Ruggero RAZZA « طموحنا يتمثل في الانتقال من منطق تكون فيه المبادلات التجارية وانفتاح الأسواق غاية في حد ذاتهما إلى منطق تصبح فيه المبادلات أداة للتنمية الصناعية وخلق القيمة المضافة ونقل التكنولوجيا » — Intervenant 5 « فهو يمثل بالنسبة لتونس تحديا حقيقيا وفرصة استثنائية في الوقت ذاته، إذ يمكن أن يساهم في تحسين إنتاجية المؤسسات وتحديث الإدارة وترشيد استهلاك الطاقة وتطوير القطاع الفلاحي » — Intervenant 5 « يمكن لتونس والاتحاد الأوروبي بناء تعاون طموح من خلال برامج تكوين مشتركة، وحاضنات أعمال، ودعم المؤسسات الناشئة، وتعزيز التعاون بين الباحثين » — Intervenant 5 **Partenze irregolari and stabilità** « Prendiamo atto del netto calo delle partenze irregolari dalle coste tunisine e della cooperazione delle autorità tunisine con quelle dei paesi dell'Unione Europea » — Ruggero RAZZA « لا يمكن معالجة ظاهرة الهجرة غير النظامية من خلال مراقبة الحدود وحدها بل يتعين علينا معالجة https://videos.polyfact.com/20261105-0900-DELEGATION-DMAG-vod/manifest.m3u8 4113 2026-11-05 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/20261105-0915-COMMITTEE-DROI-vod 2026-11-05 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/20261105-0915-COMMITTEE-DROI-vod/20261105101645/1280.jpg Subcommittee on Human Rights Workshop on the misuse of counter-terrorism laws and their Subcommittee on Human Rights Workshop on the misuse of counter-terrorism laws The Subcommittee on Human Rights workshop addressed the global pattern of misusing counter-terrorism laws to restrict fundamental freedoms. A core source of human rights violations is the lack of an international definition of terrorism, which allows states to use wide domestic definitions to label legitimate actors as terrorists. This trend has led to the criminalization of civil society activities and created a chilling effect through the use of smear campaigns and the militarization of responses. Participants highlighted that these exceptional laws often enter common law, leading to a gradual disappearance of the rule of law and the protection of civilians. In some regions, journalists and human rights defenders are targeted for their reporting or peaceful mobilization. The misuse of new technologies and the lack of industry self-regulation further exacerbate these risks, necessitating stronger oversight and accountability for counter-terrorism operations. To address these challenges, the EU is urged to use its leverage in external engagements, such as visa liberalization conditions, to promote legal reforms. A concrete toolbox has been developed to assist EU representatives in countering arguments from partner states. The EU Action Plan on Human Rights and Democracy remains the framework for ensuring that human rights and civil society engagement are treated as core principles of effective counter-terrorism efforts. • « The lack of an international definition of terrorism, which I addressed in my last report to the Human Rights Council, remains a core source of human rights violations worldwide » (Intervenant 13, 17:01) • « The first pattern concerns the use of wide definitions in domestic counterterrorism frameworks that are used to label legitimate actors as terrorists » (Intervenant 3, 04:20) • « It is true that we witnessed very worrying trends and developments and the growing misuse of counter-terrorism laws worldwide.

As part of the frontrunners group, the country is moving at a pace not seen for years in enlargement policy. Despite working under extreme conditions and martial law, Ukraine has increased its preparedness on nine chapters and its parliament remains functional and legitimate. However, a slowdown in legislative decision-making is a matter of concern, and there is a need to maintain reform momentum. The next priority for Ukraine is meeting interim benchmarks on the rule of law and the fundamentals cluster. Meeting these benchmarks is essential, as they define the speed at which other negotiating clusters can be opened and closed. Without a positive assessment on these interim targets, Ukraine will not be able to proceed with the provisional closure of negotiating chapters. There are also calls to reconsider the model of judicial reform to minimize political influence over appointments. Regarding economic integration, Ukraine is encouraged to look beyond specific measures and participate more broadly in the internal market. There are concerns about the agricultural sector, which must be negotiated carefully to strengthen the global position of the Union. Farmers currently face significant challenges, including blocked Black Sea ports and long truck lines at custom points that are regularly bombed. Smart solutions are needed to ensure that as Ukraine takes on heavy obligations, its industry does not face limited access to new policies and markets. • « So, as you have heard certainly yesterday from Commissioner Kos, we are making steady progress on Ukraine's EU accession path with now four out of six negotiating clusters open in the last month » (Intervenant 4, 03:30) • « As to the next priority, the clear message in the report is that Ukraine needs to focus on meeting what is called the interim https://videos.polyfact.com/20261105-0900-DELEGATION-DUA-vod/manifest.m3u8 11670 2026-11-05 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/20261105-0900-COMMITTEE-BUDG-AFET-vod 2026-11-05 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/20261105-0900-COMMITTEE-BUDG-AFET-vod/20261105101645/1280.jpg Committee on Budgets Joint meeting Committee on Foreign Affairs Joint Committee Dialogue on Reform and Growth Facilities for Western Balkans, Moldova, and Ukraine The Reform and Growth Facility for the Western Balkans makes available 6 billion euros in grants and loans to support countries on their accession path. While reform implementation is accelerating with a 63% rate across the first four reporting periods, progress is uneven. Montenegro and Albania have reached nearly 90% implementation, whereas Serbia stands at 42%. Kosovo and Bosnia-Herzegovina have faced institutional and political blockages; in Bosnia-Herzegovina, delays create a potential loss of nearly 300 million euros, as funds not spent within a grace period can be recycled to other countries. Moldova is described as a star performer with a 95% implementation rate, higher than any member state known to Gert Jan Koopman. To date, 157 million euros have been disbursed for 18 reforms achieved in the first half of the year. Key projects include a regional hospital in Bălți and energy efficiency programs. Following the cutoff of gas supplies to Transnistria by Russia, Moldovan authorities agreed to pivot away from Russian fossil fuels completely, supported by energy diversification projects. The Ukraine Facility is the largest instrument, with 32.46 billion euros already paid into Ukraine's budget under its first pillar. However, Gert Jan Koopman notes that the 50 billion euro facility is insufficient, as the EU now provides 85% of all financial assistance following the cessation of US budgetary support. A shortfall of 70 billion euros is projected, including 40 billion for defense and 30 billion for the budget. Regarding the Ukraine support loan, frozen Russian assets serve as a guarantee for repayment if Russia does not pay war reparations. Conditionality remains central to all facilities. Ukraine has implemented 94 of 173 required reforms, but must complete the remainder by the third quarter of 2027, including modernizing the anti-corruption framework. In the Western Balkans, reforms are noted as more https://videos.polyfact.com/20261105-0900-COMMITTEE-BUDG-AFET-vod/manifest.m3u8 6970 2026-11-05 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/20261105-0900-COMMITTEE-FEMM-vod 2026-11-05 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/20261105-0900-COMMITTEE-FEMM-vod/20261105110138/1280.jpg Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality Ordinary meeting European Parliament FEMM Committee Meeting on AI Gender Bias and Rights Funding The FEMM Committee addressed the systematic deviation from substantive equality caused by gender bias in AI. Experts noted that compliance with the AI Act does not guarantee non-discriminatory outcomes, as bias often stems from societal data sets and the assumptions of developers. This complexity makes AI-related discrimination difficult to detect and prove. Furthermore, the rise of AI-generated sexualized content and deepfakes disproportionately affects women and girls, serving as a tool to silence those in politics and journalism. Regarding institutional gender mainstreaming, the committee highlighted that only 7% of the Commission's impact assessments included a gender impact during the previous term. Members called for fully-fledged gender budgeting across the entire EU budget and the integration of gender action plans across all committees. There is a specific push for the Commission to carry out gender impact assessments for every legislative proposal with clear performance indicators. A study on the defunding of women's rights organizations revealed significant financial pressures. Official Development Assistance from OECD donors fell by 23.1% in 2025, with nine European donors announcing cuts totaling approximately 30 billion euros over four years. Simultaneously, funding for anti-gender organizations has surged, with 275 such groups reporting a combined income of 1.18 billion US dollars between 2019 and 2023. Experts recommended securing multi-annual operating funding and restoring a protected minimum allocation for the Daphne program to support specialist services for survivors. • « It is important to underline that compliance with the AI Act does not equate non-discriminatory outcomes.

Payments are strictly linked to the delivery of reforms, including fundamental changes to justice systems and state aid frameworks. While Albania, Montenegro, and North Macedonia have made steady progress, Serbia, Kosovo, and Bosnia Herzegovina are lagging behind. Unused funds from lagging countries may be reused as top-ups for frontrunners in return for more reforms. Moldova is described as a star performer with a 95% implementation rate, the highest among ten partners. The country has pivoted away from Russian fossil fuels and recently achieved 18 reforms in the first half of the year. Future disbursements remain contingent on meeting 40 demanding steps by the end of the year, focusing on tangible progress to improve the livelihood of citizens. Regarding the Ukraine Facility, the European Union is now providing 85% of all financial assistance as the United States has stopped making budgetary support available. The facility operates through three pillars: direct budget support, an investment framework for grants and guarantees, and subsidies for interest payments. A significant portion of the support is provided through the Ukraine support loan, a non-recourse loan that Ukraine will not have to pay back until Russia provides war reparations. Conditionality remains central across all facilities. In Ukraine, the independence of anti-corruption bodies like NABU and SAPO is non-negotiable. For the Western Balkans, European integration must be based on merit and clear alignment with common foreign and security policy. While the EU budget cannot invest directly in military expenditures, the Ukraine investment framework is facilitating investments in dual-use goods. • « The Reform and Growth Facility for the Western Balkans was set up in '24 and makes available 6 billion https://videos.polyfact.com/20261105-0900-COMMITTEE-BUDG-AFET-live/manifest.m3u8 7461 2026-11-05 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/20261105-0900-COMMITTEE-FEMM-live 2026-11-05 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/20261105-0900-COMMITTEE-FEMM-live/20261105110224/1280.jpg Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality Ordinary meeting Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality Meeting on AI and Funding The FEMM Committee discussed the opportunities and challenges for gender equality in the context of AI. Experts noted that gender bias in AI results from data, design, or the assumptions of developers, often penalizing women with caring responsibilities in employment. Compliance with the AI Act does not guarantee non-discriminatory outcomes, as algorithmic discrimination remains difficult to detect and prove due to the complexity and opacity of these systems. Participants highlighted the rise of sexual deepfakes and the need for gender-responsive regulation to prevent AI from amplifying existing societal inequalities. Regarding internal procedures, the committee reviewed the state of gender mainstreaming in the European Parliament. Members expressed concern that only 24% of FEMM amendments were incorporated into reports by lead committees, and only 16% reached the final plenary texts. There are calls for a standardized gender impact assessment methodology and the integration of gender-responsive budgeting throughout the entire budgetary cycle with measurable targets. Some members suggested a duty to justify why specific gender-related suggestions are not adopted. Finally, a study on the defunding of women's rights civil society organisations revealed growing financial pressures. Official development assistance from OECD donors fell by 23.1% in 2025, and the EU is among donors announcing significant cuts. While anti-gender organizations reported a combined income of 1.18 billion US dollars between 2019 and 2023, specialist services for survivors of sexual violence remain severely underfunded. Recommendations include securing multi-annual operating funding and restoring a protected minimum allocation for the Daphne program in the next budget. • « It is important to underline that compliance with the AI Act does not equate non-discriminatory outcomes.

Speakers called for nuclear power to be treated at the same level as renewables, arguing that current discrimination in financing and state aid must be lifted. The European Commission noted that while it acknowledges the need for all low-carbon solutions, specific funding like the Just Transition Fund remains restricted for nuclear projects. The committee decided to keep the petition open and seek an opinion from the ITRE committee. Regarding environmental concerns, the committee discussed the practice of 'salami slicing' in development projects, specifically at Górki Czechowskie and a resort in Croatia. Petitioners argued that dividing large projects into smaller segments bypasses the cumulative impact assessments required by the EIA Directive. In Croatia, illegal dumping of hazardous waste in Gospić led to calls for a rapid force to combat ecocide and urgent investigations into compliance with EU waste and water legislation. Human rights in Afghanistan were a major focus, with calls to formally recognize 'gender apartheid' and designate the Taliban as a terrorist organization. The European Commission stated that 'gender apartheid' is not yet a legal term under the Rome Statute and that terrorist designations require a decision by a competent national authority. The committee also reviewed petitions on food safety, specifically the lack of natural sweeteners in products, and the health risks of fluoroquinolones, where speakers demanded the removal of tablet forms from the market. • « Ensemble, nous considérons l'énergie nucléaire comme un atout essentiel pour une Europe décarbonée et nous estimons que toutes les discriminations dont elle fait l'objet doivent être levées » (Intervenant 52, 02:08:36) • « First, formally recognize gender apartheid in Afghanistan and help build accountability.

Experts highlight how this is a slippery subject, with blurred boundaries between manipulation and freedom of opinion. A fundamental element is the technological infrastructure, as molecular manipulation processes and individually delivered messages cannot be addressed by humans and require algorithms for monitoring. Doctrine defines the human mind as the sixth domain of conflict between autocracies and democracies. This hybrid or lukewarm war overheats social relations by acting on the fragile cognitive structure of citizens through emotions. Marco Lombardo emphasizes that the shield is not intended to protect a specific narrative, but to counter strategies aimed at destroying European values, citing as an example the presence of Russian errors in Italian school textbooks. Criticisms emerge regarding the vagueness of the concepts in the final report of the special European committee. A worrying shift is noted from a defensive posture to active deterrence, with the risk of securitization of borders and an expansion of European powers at the expense of member states. There is a fear that discretionary sanctioning tools could turn into forms of censorship against inconvenient information or free opinions. The debate recalls international scenarios such as the Romanian one, where the intervention of intelligence services revealed bot support for a candidate. The dilemma therefore arises as to whether the responsibility to intervene against interference should lie with Parliament or whether one should wait for the intervention of the judiciary once the electoral process has been corrupted. • "Let us begin the session by holding hearings on Bill 1473, the establishment of a democratic shield to defend constitutional freedoms and the integrity of the democratic process from foreign interference" (Speaker 2, 00:30) • "this is a very slippery https://videos.polyfact.com/it-senato-126730-vod/manifest.m3u8 3800 2026-11-05 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/it-senato-126727-live 2026-11-05 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/it-senato-126727-live/20261105084600/1280.jpg Caregiver Audizioni sul disegno di legge 2063 e connessi (Caregiver) di: Associazioni Cristiane Lavoratori Italiani (ACLI), Caregiver Familiari Uniti (CFU), Cittadinanzattiva https://videos.polyfact.com/it-senato-126727-live/manifest.m3u8 2540 2026-11-05 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/it-senato-126727-vod 2026-11-05 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/it-senato-126727-vod/20261105091619/1280.jpg Caregiver Senate hearings on Bill 2063 regarding caregivers **Formal recognition and procedural changes** « Bill 2063 and related legislation regarding caregivers.

S'appuyant sur le rapport Draghi, elle souligne qu'une économie prospère est indispensable pour atteindre les objectifs stratégiques de l'UE. La présidence a déjà franchi des étapes clés, notamment avec une proposition de cadre financier pluriannuel (CFP) et un accord sur le cadre de la PAC après 2027. Sur le plan international, l'Irlande œuvre au renforcement des relations avec le Royaume-Uni, avec en perspective un sommet le 20 novembre et l'organisation du sommet de la Communauté politique européenne. Concernant l'Ukraine, le versement d'un prêt de soutien de 90 milliards d'euros a débuté, avec près de 20 milliards déjà versés au 14 octobre. Un 21e paquet de sanctions contre la Russie a également été adopté.

It can do so based on probabilities defined beforehand, but each event is genuine, in the sense that it cannot be predicted and cannot even be reproduced » — Speaker 2 « Italy has effectively incorporated this into its national strategy; here we see the excerpt, it speaks of quantum communications, specifically in the distribution of keys used to, let's say, inform, authenticate, verify integrity, or encrypt » — Speaker 2 « the fact that quantum computers and AI are putting at risk the classical protocols we have been using for 50 years, namely encryption and authentication systems, and quantum telecommunications allow us to provide an effective response to this » — Speaker 5 « but also the generation of genuine random numbers.

Patrick Martin emphasizes that these budgets are recessionary, while France's real problem is growth. The planned measures would lead to an increase in labor costs of 11.5 billion euros, or 550 euros per year per employee, reducing the ability of companies to raise wages and weighing on their profitability. The sector is also alarmed by provisions affecting the transfer of family and patrimonial businesses, particularly through Article 5 of the PLF. Philippe d'Ornano denounces a harsh halt to apprenticeships and new over-regulation. Michel Picon and Amir Reza-Tofighi warn about the weakening of small businesses and artisans, whose margins are already eroded by the rise in energy and raw material costs. Finally, employer organizations warn against reversing the retirement age. Patrick Martin points out that a return to 62 would generate a deficit of 30 billion euros by 2030. They call on the State to reduce its spending, particularly in the civil service, rather than raising new taxes on businesses, which would cause a loss of growth points without guaranteeing additional tax revenue. • "All these measures result in an increase in labor costs of 11.5 billion euros, or 550 euros per year per employee, according in particular to an op-ed published this morning signed by 71 federation presidents" (Mr. Olivier Rietmann, 04:25) • "In other words, for us, the 2027 PLF and PLFSS are based on strategic errors" (Patrick Martin, 13:21) • "So the real problem in France is a growth problem, all the more reason not to propose recessionary budgets" (Patrick Martin, 15:31) • "So I remind you that the Borne reform was not enough to balance the schemes in 2030 since we still had a deficit of 6.5 billion, and if we go back to 62, unless I am mistaken, that is a 30 billion https://videos.polyfact.com/5989316_6aec170919b5d-vod/manifest.m3u8 8388 2026-11-05 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/it-camera-32794-vod 2026-11-05 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/it-camera-32794-vod/20261105133051/1280.jpg 1946 - The birth of the Republic Exhibition on the Italian Constituent Assembly and the 1946 Institutional Referendum Paolo Massa, Chief Librarian of the House, presents an exhibition on the eightieth anniversary of the Italian institutional referendum and the election of the Constituent Assembly. Before these events, a National Consultative Assembly of 430 appointed members met at Montecitorio to restore a democratic relationship between government decisions and a representative assembly. Political parties conducted a successful experiment with the first vote in local elections before the national campaign. The referendum campaign was a choice between the monarchy, which promised stability, and the republic. The republic won with roughly 12 and a half million votes against 10 and a half million for the monarchy. Following this, the Constituent Assembly began its work under President Giuseppe Saragat. A commission of 75 members, including five women, was formed to organize the drafting process through three subcommittees focused on citizens' rights, state organization, and social and economic guarantees. The resulting Constitution includes Article 3, which guarantees equality without distinction of sex, race, language, religion, political opinion, or social condition. Female deputies from all political parties also secured an amendment for equal access to public employment. During the process, citizens sent 1,722 letters to the Assembly, some urging action on the high price of basic goods like pasta. The final text was approved on December 22nd, 1947, and a braille version has been published for visually impaired people. • « The exhibition features this historic moment, roughly 12 and a half million votes for the republic against 10 and a half million for the monarchy » (Intervenant 1, 03:58) • « On December 22nd, 1947, after two years of tireless work, the new Constitution was finally approved » (Intervenant 1, 08:11) • « A commission of 75 members, including five women, was formed to organise the drafting process.

The committee is examining women's health, and this session covered postpartum care. Kathryn Warr, a physiotherapist at Ivory Rose Physiotherapy, said "every woman should have access to at least eight Medicare-funded appointments with a pelvic health physiotherapist to use across her pregnancy and in the first 12 months postpartum". She said that even under a chronic condition plan, "Medicare pays $63.40 for a session that costs around $250 to deliver". Katherine Utry of the Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA) asked for a dedicated Medicare item "fully funding five or more sessions as needed from pregnancy through to 12 months postpartum". Committee chair Senator Marielle Smith said the committee had heard conflicting evidence on whether chronic care plans could be adapted. ### Mount Gambier physiotherapist describes rural care gap Sarah-Louise Coshan, a physiotherapist at Embody Women's Health in Mount Gambier, said she is the only postgraduate-trained, APA titled pelvic health physiotherapist practising there. She said the local hospital has no antenatal physiotherapy service. She said her waitlist for other patients has swelled to 35 people waiting over six months, and told the committee: "So I'm personally triaging a shortage that the system should be managing." She proposed a postpartum plan with "a minimum of five Medicare rebated physiotherapy visits in the first 12 months postpartum", ideally referred by a midwife because of a GP shortage in the town. ### Physiotherapists describe training and recruitment costs Coshan said her master's degree left a HECS debt of about A$75,000, and she told the committee: "After the Master's it was up 75 75,000." She said she had no access to mentoring in https://videos.polyfact.com/au-parliament-5083259-c2-vod/manifest.m3u8 8520 2026-11-05 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/au-parliament-5083256-c2-live 2026-11-05 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/au-parliament-5083256-c2-live/20261105060049/1280.jpg Senate Economics Legislation Committee (part 2 of 2) Official Recording of Senate Committee Proceedings from the Australian Parliament https://videos.polyfact.com/au-parliament-5083256-c2-live/manifest.m3u8 7200 2026-11-05 https://www.polyfact.com/videos/au-parliament-5083256-c2-vod 2026-11-05 https://videos.polyfact.com/thumbnails/au-parliament-5083256-c2-vod/20261105100237/1280.jpg Senate Economics Legislation Committee (part 2 of 2) Philanthropy Australia rejects charity exemption ### Philanthropy Australia rejects charity exemption Krystian Seibert, executive director for policy and sector development at Philanthropy Australia, told the Senate Economics Legislation Committee on Thursday 5 November 2026 that the group cannot support the bill's charity exemption without steps towards reform of the deductible gift recipient (DGR) system. The committee is examining legislation to apply a 30% minimum tax to discretionary trusts. Seibert said: "without tangible steps being taken towards DGR system reform, Philanthropy Australia will be unable to support the approach adopted in the legislation as it relates to charitable giving". He said the bill exempts distributions to registered charities and other tax-exempt entities, which he said treats giving through trusts more favourably than giving by individual pay as you go (PAYG) taxpayers. Asked by a senator whether the government had committed to DGR reform, Seibert said: "no, we haven't been given that undertaking, which is why we're here and why we've made this submission." Answers to questions on notice are due by Monday 9 November 2026. ### Justice Connect cites A$1.43 inequity Geraldine Menere, lead of the Not-for-profit Law program at Justice Connect, said the bill creates a new inequality in charity donations. Justice Connect is a community legal centre and registered charity. She said: "if a trust seeks to donate $1 to any charity in Australia, it costs that trust $1." She said an average worker would need to earn A$1.43 in pre-tax income to donate a dollar to a charity that is not a DGR. ### No modelling shared on giving impact Under questioning from a senator identified as Senator Smith in the hearing, Seibert said Philanthropy Australia had received no modelling of future impacts on giving. He said Treasury analysis put giving from discretionary trusts at around 5% of charitable giving. Seibert said: "Philanthropy Australia hasn't had any sort of modeling about sort of future impacts or https://videos.polyfact.com/au-parliament-5083256-c2-vod/manifest.m3u8 7200 2026-11-05
