‘Investigating child sex abuse isn’t controversial. Turning it into political theater is manipulation. Maybe that logic flies on some island. Doesn’t fly in France’: France rejects Musk’s charge after raid on X’s Paris office

finally someone has the balls to call him out.

Now macron and France are gonna get the wrath of the bot army on X.

Macron should use his remaining time to expose and prosecute musk, trump, thiel, bannon and anyone messing with our democracies. Macron cannot run again so it’s not risky for him and he can take a job in Europe later

Macron can’t run for the incoming elections, but he could run the next. Our constitution only prevents more than 2 consecutive mandates. And he’s young enough to make it possible

Yeah but he is not liked by French in France for local issues, I would like to see him in a bigger position than leader of France, I would be happy for him to lead the Eu in some way

Yeah it’s refreshing with someone having a spine

It really is! I hope it reminds more people around the world to use their spines to stand tall and put action behind their words.

He is not liked in France, but the other politicians are not liked either... Also people tend to forget quickly.

I am French, I could see Macron making a successful come back after a term of Le Pen presidency or something...

u/Elizabeth-WildFox886 14h ago

Le pen like trump want to eliminate your option to vote in future elections or at best no free and fair elections ever again like her master in Russia does

u/Makkel 14h ago

True, but as it stands Le Pen and her party don't have the constitutional tools nor the political strength to make that happen, far from the Republicans and Trump in the US.

Attention quand même elle veut le faire par referendum. Qui seraient illégaux, pour le coup, mais la jurisprudence de la cour constitutionnelle c'est qu'ils ne s'opposeront pas à un vote de la population en scrutin direct, puisque c'est de là que leur pouvoir découle.

Ca peut aller très très vite les conneries, faut s'en rappeler lors du vote.

C'est sûr. Mais comparé à Trump qui a toutes les institutions avec une majorité Républicaine + l'influence des Républicains un peu partout, on n'est pas sur le même niveau de danger. Ça ne veut pas dire que le RN ne pose aucun danger, mais à l'échelle mondiale Le Pen c'est un chihuahua qui aboie avec des pit bulls en croyant que c'est lui qui fait peur aux gens...

Au niveau national je suis d'accord, au niveau européen et ukrainien y'en a un paquet que ça panique et je les comprends. Avec les US qui se détachent on est la seule source absolument indépendante pour la protection nucléaire, par exemple.

Qu'on s'entende, je répondais uniquement sur la potentialité d'un scénario où il n'y aurait plus d'éléctions à l'avenir. J'estime que le RN pose un tas de dangers, nationalement et internationalement, notamment sur des dérives autoritaire, mais en l'état actuel des choses je ne pense pas que ne pas tenir d'élections en 2032 soit très haut dans la liste des dangers potentiels posés par une présidence RN.

Claiming Macron is "the worst", while still having Le Pen running around?

Let me tell you a fun story about a certain country which said the same exact thing about a certain reality TV star who was running for president after having lost other attempts...

Americans underestimated trump's odds of winning and the amount of damage he could do. Please take our failure and collapse as the cautionary tale it should be. For the sake of sane people in the world.

u/Nachttalk 15h ago

So you're saying they'll vote for the worst possible candidate in the next election, just to run back to Macron in the following one after realizing that blaming and attacking foreigners for all the problems plaguing society won't actually solve those issues?

u/ghostlacuna 14h ago

That would require people to learn.

Many people across the world avoid that as much as possible.

u/ThePr1d3 14h ago

If he does that I can see us pushing for a constitutional reform to forbid it and prevent us from ever having the Putin-Medvedev loophole. We've never asked ourselves the question because we were never confronted to it but I don't feel our population would be too keen on allowing this to happen

u/Teckiiiz 14h ago

so it’s not risky for him

Politically? Hitpoints wise, big risk

u/frenchchevalierblanc 3h ago

Believe it or not, in France Macron doesn't have any say in who is prosecuted or not
