Cette justification est très problématique car l’attitude de LFI sur le PLF2026, qu’on l’approuve ou non, est indiscernable d’une stratégie de négociation sans pitié (mais légitime) comme celle de Macron à l’été 2024 était indiscernable d’un coup anti-parlementaire.

My 2 cents is that this was a lost opportunity for the left. The socialists are now semi-officially part of Macron’s coalition, for which they will be killed next year. If they insist on running a moderate in 2027, there’s no way the rest of the left falls behind.

The only conspiracy I truly believe in is that the navigation apps always target me specifically to direct through slower routes in order to relieve traffic on the main (faster) routes for everyone else.
few frustrations quite like watching your uber driver reject the google maps route repeatedly and each time be proven wrong because of lights/traffic as your eta just gets later and later
