If the engagement has not led to the cessation of economic coercion, and it is “necessary to protect the interests and rights” of the EU and its member states “in light of the options available”, and such countermeasures are in the EU interest, the Commission can adopt EU countermeasures by delegated legislation.

Bardella annule son départ pour le parlement européen pour rejoindre Marine Le Pen au siège du RN, dans le très chic XVIe arrondissement de Paris. Pour une fois, le député européen, connu pour son absentéisme à Bruxelles et Strasbourg, a une bonne excuse pour sécher la session parlementaire...

Marine Le Pen quitte le tribunal avant l'énoncé de la peine, image terrible pour le RN: non seulement celle qui prétendait à la fonction suprême fait preuve de lâcheté mais en plus, elle n'assume plus sa défense sur les faits qui lui sont reprochés et qu'elle a nié avec le reste de ses séides. La présidente, imperturbable, est en train de fixer le quantum des peines pour détournement de fonds publics.

It was only last century when things had settled in #Europe, when post colonial, #NeoColonial, #Neoliberal Europe looked up with glee at the peaceful and prosperous future. The promise was simple: #WW2, never again.

Now however we need Germany to #militarize and do so quickly, because the #US is falling apart in terms of being a #democracy, and all the #authoritarians are are getting ready at their marks.

La présidente du tribunal annonce qu'il "apparaît nécessaire d’assortir le peines d’inéligibilité de l’exécution provisoire" concernant les élus du RN reconnus coupables de détournement de fonds publics. Marine Le Pen "fait non de la tête", selon mon confrère de BFM présent dans la salle du tribunal. On attend désormais la durée de cette exécution provisoire, si elle est supérieure à 2 ans, c'est mort pour 2027.

MARINE LE PEN GUILTY OF EMBEZZLEMENT OF PUBLIC FUNDS, 2.9 MILLION FRAUD AT EU.

Used resources to pay collaborators who would have worked for the party in Paris, not for the Strasbourg delegation. The Rassemblement National leader risks ineligibility.
The prosecution has asked for five years, three of which are suspended, and ineligibility with immediate effect, without waiting for the subsequent levels of judgement.

Tehran, #Caracas, and Moscow have been running a secretive air bridge just as Iran is surging its transfer of attack drones to Russia for its invasion and war of aggression against #Ukraine.

#Venezuela’s state-owned flag carrier Conviasa Airlines is heavily involved in Iran’s global illicit arms network.

A highly unusual occurrence involved the sanctioned airline Fars Air Qeshm B747, which flew westbound from Tehran, Iran. The flight changed its designation from QFZ9970 to W59970 and landed at Nouakchott, then the Iranian flight continued on to Caracas, Venezuela.

Iran is outsourcing kamikaze drone production to Venezuela. Tehran, Caracas and Moscow have been operating a clandestine air bridge that must be dismantled.
