🇫🇷💸 FRENCH MINISTER OF FINANCE: «WE HAVE REACHED THE ALERT THRESHOLD OF PUBLIC FINANCES»
👉🏻 France has reached its "alert threshold" on public finances, said last Monday the Minister of Economy Bruno Le Maire, at a time when the executive seeks a compromise with the opposition for its bill on purchasing power.
🗣 "Everything is not possible, simply because we have reached the alert threshold on public finances", said Bruno Le Maire, adding that "the financing conditions have changed" and that today France borrows "at more than 2%" to finance public spending, whereas until recently it did so at negative or very low rates.
⏪ Last march, the same minister had explained that "we will collapse Russia's economy".

🇫🇷🇺🇦 ABOUT THE FRENCH CAESARS SENT TO KIEV
👉🏻 A total of 14 French CAESAR self-propelled artillery systems were actually transferred to Ukraine
💥 3 units were destroyed in airstrikes on the train at Kurakhovo;
💰 2 units were sold for a ridiculous ~120,000 dollars and are in the bowels of Uralvagonzavod.
💥 1 unit were destroyed on Kubansky Island in Odessa Oblast.
📌 The most interesting thing in this whole story is the mood in France itself. Especially after the CAESARs ended up in Russia. Because it hits the image of the French Armed Forces and the mood among the local military very hard.
🪖 What are they saying in French military circles?
➡️ Sending the CAESARs to Ukraine was a complete madness: the artillery systems transferred to Kiev were partly intended for Morocco under government contracts. Some of them were also taken off combat duty.
➡️ Some units of the French Armed Forces had only one CAESAR left after being transferred to Ukraine.
➡️ If CAESARs have found themselves in the hands of the Russian Armed Forces, it is, according to the French, a disaster: the artillery systems are on combat duty. Although there are no optics as such on the Caesars, but the fire guidance and coordination system is definitely of interest for Russian forces that can now copy french technology...
➡️ A similar picture is observed not only in the artillery systems: before the transfer of MANPADS Mistral also removed from the units on combat duty on the border, in fact denuding their own borders.
➡️ In the future, it is planned to transfer the battered combat vehicles and trucks, which have exhausted their service life and are being withdrawn from Mali: it is not difficult to imagine what reputational damage the French wrecks will cause to the image of France, having ended up in Ukraine.

🇫🇷🗼 EIFFEL TOWER IS «BADLY DECAYED»: CONFIDENTIAL REPORTS REGARDING EXTENSIVE RUST DAMAGE BROUGHT TO LIGHT
👉🏻 Currently underway, the 20th painting campaign of the Eiffel Tower will not only be the most expensive but also probably the most inefficient in the history of the monument. Since 2010, several confidential reports, of which "Marianne" has copies, have warned of maintenance defects and extensive damage.
⚙️ In 2008, the company Expiris, headed by Bernard Giovannoni, a legal expert, saw the first defects appear "on the paint coating". A complete audit was published in February 2010 with worrying results, followed by another study 4 years later.
🔍 A July 2014 document, entitled "Synthesis on the performance of old paint backgrounds", sounds the alarm. Phenomena of flaking, cracking, blistering, and curling are spotted just about everywhere on the monument. This is not new, but the speed at which the rust has spread is surprising to the legal expert Bernard Giovannoni. He confides today: "I had been working on the tower for several years but in 2014, I felt that there was a great urgency to address the corrosion."
⏳According to 2014 estimates, only 10 percent of the tower's paint "holds". Simply put, it has been known since 2014 that the surface of the Eiffel Tower is crumbling.
🗣 "It's simple to understand", says one expert. "The last few coats have overstretched the previous ones, and the paint is cracking and peeling everywhere. It has become very brittle, if you walk on it, it breaks, and thus plays its protective role more and more poorly. But the old layers are solid and fortunately continue to protect the metal in many places." But for how long?

🇫🇷📊 2021 CRIME STATISTICS ARE OUT: +33% INCREASE OF BOTH RAPES AND ATTEMPTED RAPES IN A SINGLE YEAR
👉🏻 The "Departmental Statistics Service for Homeland Security" released a new report on last years' crime statistics. Among them, "rapes and rapes attempts" stands out by a large marging, with more than a 30% increase.
🗣 According to the report, this increase can be explained in particular by "a change in the way victims file a complaint, including for violence suffered several years earlier, in the climate of the Weinstein affair and the various movements on social networks for the liberation of victims' voices". Surely, this explain why rapes have gone up 78% over the last five years.
🧐 Other peculiar statistics are related to African nationalities: despite being only 3% of the French population, they commit 29% of robberies, 22% of burglaries and 10% of murders.

This is how an attachment to tradition is legitimized, this invisible Ariadne's thread that links generations and tames human times by ritualizing them.
The more change accelerates, the more imperative becomes the need for permanence. The stronger the winds of History blow, the more the roots must penetrate the depths of the unconscious.

Decline is an old temptation of the European soul, the dark side of its tragic courage. In spite of the sun of Attica, Hesiod had already whispered the song of the twilight, before the bards took it back under the grey sky of the old Germania and the Celtic countries.
It was this song that haunted Master Robert Wace, in his island of Jersey, one day as he traced on parchment the first lines of his Roman de Rou, in the middle of the 12th century:
«All things hasten to decay
All fall, all perish, all come to an end
Man dieth, iron consumeth, wood decayeth
Towers crumble, strong walls fall down, the rose withereth away...»
Certainly. But also, all things come back, they are reborn, they live again. Children are born and succeed to fathers.
And even if some generations would be forgetful and unfaithful, without them knowing it, through them life is transmitted and with it, a part of the heritage that other generations eager to return to the sources of the kingdom, beyond time, will find later on.

👉🏻 «Adrien D.», a 20 year old Frenchman succumbed to his injuries on June 25. According to information from RTL, he had been wounded on the Kharkiv front in early June, by the same Russian artillery fire who had killed Wilfried Blériot, another French fighter.
🏥 Seriously injured and in a coma, Adrien D. was being treated in a field hospital in the Kharkiv region. He was part of the international legion fighting in Ukraine alongside the Ukrainian soldiers against Russia.
🪦 Although Adrien is the 2nd confirmed French fighter death in Ukraine, Russian and ground sources alike believe the actual figure to be much higher.
