🇫🇷🏥 Suspended nurse decide to take her own life

👉🏻 Karine C, a 37 year old caregiver suspended since September 2021 for her refusal to take the covid vaccine, has recently decided to take her own life. The Telegram channel AMGR states that this mother of two children aged 7 and 3 was under great financial and psychological difficulty, which can easily be explained by the complete lack of income caused by her suspended status.

🔎 15.000 French health workers were suspended during the covid crisis, because of their refusal to take the covid vaccine. So far, the government has considered "completely out of the question" to lift these hindrances.

🇺🇸🇪🇺 US nuclear power projects in Europe

Westinghouse Electric Company is entering Europe energy market.

▪️Poland

Current Polish nuclear power programme accounts for for $31bn-$40bn. Six reactors will be build between 2026 and 2040. The first one, planned on the Baltic Sea coast 80 kilometres west of Gdansk is expected to start supplying electricity in 2033.

Besides Westinghouse France’s EDF was very interested to take part in this project, as well as KHNP from Korea. Poland still may reserve some room for Koreans to build a nuclear objects in addition to state's nuclear power programme.

Westinghouse is planning to supply it’s AP1000 pressurised water reactors. That’s not the most advanced option, since it was commissioned in 2005.

Poland is also interested in small modular reactors (SMRs), that are relatively cheap and flexible solution for regional power supply.

Now Poland’s electricity generation is depending mostly on coal and lignite. It’s electricity grid is one of the most carbon-intensive in Europe. Given that, nuclear power looks very promising, leaving apart the fact that US will be in full control of all nuclear generation in Poland.

▪️Bulgaria
Westinghouse signed a memorandum of understanding with the state-owned Bulgarian Energy Holding in May 2022. It’s main objective is to build a long-duration energy storage facility in Bulgaria.

▪️Slovenia
A memorandum of understanding has been signed in April 2022 with three Slovenian companies. It refers to co-operation on potential AP1000 nuclear power plant projects.

▪️Czech Republic
Memorandums of understanding were signed with ten companies in the Czech Republic in April 2022 as well. The documents cover cooperation on the potential deployment of an AP1000 plant for the Dukovany unit 5 project and potential AP1000 projects in Central Europe.

🔺We see clear transformation of the European nuclear energy market. Once dominated by France and Germany it gradually goes under the US control. According to estimation just Polish nuclear power programme alone will help to create more than 100 000 jobs in the US. It’s also worth mentioning that Westinghouse Electric Company will get not only contracts, but also control over European power grid and energy distribution mechanism. European countries racing to gain their “energy independence” simply channel their resources to the USA instead.

🇫🇷🚌 Bus passengers forced to listen to Koran verses in southern France

👉🏻 Passengers on an Aix-Marseille bus were forced to listen to verses from the Koran. When protests rose from the passengers, the driver shouted "It's my bus! I do what I want. If you're not happy, get off".

🗣 A passenger of Algerian origin, who had opposed the driver the most, expressed his shock to France Bleu: “It reminds me of Algeria, with the Islamic Salvation Front. The Islamists, they aired that on the buses. It is forbidden today in Algeria! And I hear it here! It's the first time. It's catastrophic! We must react."

🔎 Alerted, the transport authority RDT 13 has led an investigation. The driver has been identified, and isn't an agent of the metropolis but a young recruit of a subcontractor. According to the Aix-Marseille Metropolis, the incident is unprecedented. She recalls this principle: any religious demonstration in public transport is "very serious and unacceptable", and prohibited by internal regulations.

🇫🇷🏥 70 year old man dies abandoned in a hospital corridor

👉🏻 A 70-year-old man died Thursday on a stretcher in the hospital of Saint-Malo, western France. His lifeless body was discovered at midnight, 3 hours after his admission.

🔎 Three weeks ago, the employees had issued an alert for serious and imminent danger because of the lack of personnel. All services combined, the hospital has 70 vacant positions.

✍🏻 Note: French health care services are facing a huge crisis since the covid era: all personnel who refused the covid vaccine are still suspended, and the remaining staff is overstretched and exhausted, which has led to a massive amount of personnel quitting.

🚨 Several emergencies services are thus closed throughout the country, with other functioning with ever deteriorating conditions.

I remember one of the few Serbian villages we took. Eight hundred civilians surrounded, prisoners. Nothing happened. We didn't even burn the village. We found some guys, hidden in the woods. They were dying of hunger and fear. We fed them.

They had a book with them: "How to kill the Ustashi". Their propaganda is extraordinary. We stayed in this village. It was strange. These men, these women, these kids who lived with us. We gave them cigarettes; they gave us coffee, food...

And maybe I had killed the cousin, the son, the father of one of them. And they knew it. But by living with them in this village, sharing everything, the food and the bombardments of the Serbian guns...when we went to fight, they worried about us; when we came back wounded, they looked after us. This is the unreal side of war.

— "The French National Assembly, under the impetus of France Insoumise, adopted a law aimed at including the right to abortion in the French constitution"

https://t.me/canalgeopo/3316

🇫🇷❌👼🗳 — By 337 to 32 the French parliament approved abortion as a constitutional right.

The authors of the proposal, from the left-wing coalition NUPES, argued that the measure was aimed at "protecting and guaranteeing the fundamental right to voluntary termination of pregnancy and contraception"

Worth noting that the Fertility rate (TRF) of the French Republic is currently 1.83 births per woman, and declining.

🇫🇷🇮🇪 Ireland's power grid to be linked to France by 2026

👉🏻 Paris and Dublin reached an agreement Friday for the future "Celtic Interconnector" which will connect the Irish power grid to the European continent by 2026.

🔎 This 700 MW high-voltage submarine link will connect the southern coast of Ireland to northern France, covering 575 km, and will allow Ireland to export the electricity produced by her offshore wind turbines.

🇬🇧 This decision is also a consequence from the Brexit, since Ireland was so far connected only to its British neighbor.

🇫🇷🇺🇦 How French special services help Ukraine

Rybar's team was able to obtain confirmation of the work in Ukraine of private contractors associated with the French foreign intelligence service DGSE and with the military intelligence department DRM.

▪️The French, in addition to open military assistance in the form of supplies of equipment and weapons, coordinate the work of the state PMC DCI, which trains Ukrainian special forces in France, Poland and Ukraine.

▪️The second area of ​​work was aerial reconnaissance in cooperation with the Luxembourg company CAE Aviation. The company operates reconnaissance aircraft in the Black Sea to monitor the activity of the Russian Armed Forces.

🔻What is known about DCI?

▪️The private military company Défense conseil international, 50% state-owned, is fully controlled by the DGSE and the French Ministry of Defense. Most often, the company's specialists are involved in supporting friendly regimes in Africa, training local armies, as well as for intelligence and promotion of arms exports from France.

▪️The key areas of DCI work in Ukraine are:

➖ training of the Armed Forces in the use of self-propelled artillery mounts CAESAR

➖ conducting cyber warfare and electronic intelligence with the support of another French company Thales, which just specializes in the development of information systems for use in the aerospace, military and maritime sectors.

🔻What is known about CAE Aviation?

▪️The Luxembourg company CAE Aviation has been a contractor for the French Ministry of Defense and DGSE for many years in conducting reconnaissance operations in the Sahel, North and Central Africa, as well as in the Middle East.

▪️The company uses civil light aircraft C-208B Cessna Caravan, SW3A Fairchild Merlin, Casa 212-300, Turbine Islander, Short Skyvan and others, equips them with the necessary equipment and conducts optoelectronic, electronic and electronic intelligence.

▪️In 2016, the media got the news about the crash in Malta of a reconnaissance aircraft belonging to CAE Aviation, which was performing tasks in Libya.

▪️Now CAE Aviation aircraft are actively working over the Black Sea on DRM tasks to collect intelligence, which is then also shared with DCI.

▪️Last ​​year, the company was highlighted in the scandal surrounding the secret operation "Sirli", which French intelligence has been conducting in Egypt since 2016.

CAE Aviation provided data to strike targets on the border with Libya, in particular the vehicles of traffickers. "Hundreds of civilians" were injured or killed in strikes based on erroneous intelligence findings between 2016 and 2018.

At the same time, CAE Aviation managed to earn about $20 million from the contract. In response to the scandal in France, they decided to open criminal cases against the media that disclosed data on secret operations.

🔻It's no secret that Ukraine is now a tasty morsel for many foreign PMCs, whose services are resorted to by Western countries, using an excuse in the style: "NATO troops do not take part in the conflict in Ukraine." The air reconnaissance operations of a single company alone cost the French budget tens of millions of dollars.

At the same time, given the sad experience of French intelligence in Africa, it is unlikely that customers can be sure that the data that is now provided in Ukraine is more accurate and reliable than those provided during Operation Sirli.

🇫🇷💸 France might soon be under surveillance by the IMF

👉🏻 The news has gone almost unnoticed: the International Monetary Fund has just issued a warning, not to Italy or Greece, but to France for the uncontrolled deterioration of its public accounts.

🔎 With the "whatever it costs" policy of 2020-2021, followed by the tariff shield of 2022, the French public debt has exploded by nearly 550 billion euros. And all this while France is in the process of falling back into recession and has to deal with increasingly high inflation.

💸 The IMF forecast that in terms of controlling its public spending and public deficit, France will be the worst performer in Europe until 2027.
