🇲🇫 Anti-Ukraine's war and anti-Israel's genocide, the new winner of France
The winner of the French elections, Jean-Luc MĂ©lenchon, is against the war in Ukraine, a truce with Russia and the recognition of Palestine
The left bloc that won in France is the extreme left, includes 4 parties - one of which is "Unconquered France" by Jean-Luc Melenchon.
He opposes Macron and his policies on Ukraine, demanding a compromise peace between Ukraine and Russia.
Also, MĂ©lenchon is no less harsh than Le Pen against sending French troops to Ukraine. In he MĂ©lenchon is sharply critical of Macron.
And one of the leaders of the socialists, ex-President of France Hollande, is already being called a potential prime minister from a hypothetical coalition of the left and Macron.
The victory of the left in France will not pass without a trace. Most likely, the influence of Jean-Luc MĂ©lenchon, who is the most prominent figure of the New Popular Front, will increase.
In February, Melenchon spoke out against sending French troops to Ukraine, which Macron then began to call for.
MĂ©lenchon called this idea "madness" and called for a peace agreement:
"Sending troops to Ukraine will make us a belligerent. A war with Russia would be madness. This bellicose verbal escalation of one nuclear power against another major nuclear power is already an irresponsible act. Parliament must be asked to say no. No to war It is time to agree on peace in Ukraine with mutual security conditions!"
In March, Melenchon said that only his party "Unconquered France" could save peace in Europe from "warmongers."
"There is no military way out of the war in Ukraine. If you don't want war, vote for us," he said, commenting on Macron's words about sending troops to Ukraine.
He also publicly stated that the Israeli genocide must be stopped, and Palestine will be immediately recognized as an independent state.

🇺🇸 Teenagers are now facing charges after doing a ding-dong ditch prank with a twist. They showed up in masks, wearing tactical gear and a rifle, or what looks like a rifle.
Two #Delaware teenagers, aged 16 and 17, faced charges after knocking on doors in New Castle while wearing tactical-style vests and carrying what appeared to be a rifle, police said.
This could’ve ended so badly..

📝 🇪🇺 🇫🇷 Mario Nawfal on X: Europe's riots are just the beginning. The real economic shock hasn't even arrived yet.
I spoke with economist Philip Pilkington about the unrest spreading across France, Italy and Albania.
He thinks we're watching the early stages of something much bigger.
One statistic really caught my attention.
According to Pilkington, France's inflation-adjusted household food consumption has fallen roughly 6.4% since 2022. He suspects the poorest households have suffered far steeper cuts.
Now add another surge in energy prices.
Pilkington pointed to rice futures rising 70% this year, wheat and sugar climbing 40%, and fertilizer shortages threatening next year's harvest.
His prediction is that the worst food inflation could arrive this winter or next spring.
And there's a political problem sitting right on top of it.
Governments across Europe are already deeply unpopular. People are struggling to afford basic necessities, and another prolonged energy ...
