By French standards, it's peanuts. Nothing like what happened in relation to the yellow jackets protest or surburban protests. There are usually such clashes by mainly hooligans at the end of nearly every protest, after regular protesters and the security personnel of political parties or trade unions have left. A nothing burger.

There's no reason to discuss fake facts. Try to get your information from reliable sources. Fox News has been known for reporting B.S. about France (remember the ridiculous "no-go zones" B.S.). Nothing particular in the French media, including the main right-wing and anti-left newspaper. It's peanuts! https://www.lefigaro.fr/

Splitting hairs? Because there is a right-wing party (LR), and the RN is positioned at the right of this party. You can call it right of right, if you prefer! 😁 LFI is commonly called far-left and is not ashamed of being called far-left. The other members of the coalition are left of center (PS), and Green, so the coalition is called left-wing and not far-left. Additionally, standards are different in Europe than in the U.S. Even conservative parties are implementing policies considered as left-wing in the U.S. (I.e. social security), and, for example, the Democrat party would certainly not called left-wing (It's more equivalent to Macron's center-right stance). Why are far-right people ashamed of being called far-right? 😆

Donald Trump "I know nothing about Project 2025"

Exactly! He would never read a 900 pages report. The Heritage Foundation should publish a short summary with a lot of images! 😆 -

Thailand’s Cannabis Debate Ignites After Doctor’s Insightful Article
candide replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Thanks for linking these studies. While they find a m9derate association, they are not conclusive about the direction of association, i.e. it may also be explained by the fact that "bad boys" tend to smoke weed. -
Election Commission Urged to Nullify Senate Race Over Alleged Rigging
candide replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
It won't change anything. They represent the network they are part of, and the same network will appoint the next EC members anyway. That's how it works in Thailand. Appointed people are appointed by other appointed people, and they appoint each other. -

Bhumjaithai Party Advisor Seeks Caution on Cannabis Reclassification
candide replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
It's exactly the same problem as alcohol prohibition. The choice is not between (recreational) weed and no weed. It's between legal weed and illegal weed, as recreational use of cannabis will remain even if it's illegal (as in other countries where it's illegal). Illegal weed means more mafia, more corruption, more exposure to other drugs, waste of police resources which could be better used, less consumer protection, and less taxes. An unnecessary diversion of resources from real problems, such as the Yaba and opioids pleague which is destroying lives. -
ABC Full Interview Biden in Potential Make-or-Break with Stephanopoulos
candide replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Right. Life was better pre-Covid in any country, and that also includes the U. S. Nothing specific to this country and this government, and there's no evidence the other party would have done better. As to Trump's program (if any), more tax cuts (stimulates demand and speculation) and more tariffs on imports (lead to price increaseare) are not going to cool down inflation. It will, have the opposite effect. -
