On revient sur ce qu'il s'est passé cet été, le traitement médiatique de Bayrou, du 10 septembre et surtout la façon dont les riches éditorialistes veulent s'imposer comme porte-paroles du "peuple" (d'extrême droite).

Hungary assembly act timeline | ILGA-Europe Track Hungary's evolving restrictions on freedom of assembly and LGBTI rights. Learn about the 2025 law, EU legal action, and ongoing challenges to civil liberties

Around 300,000 marched at #BudapestPride, a major win for LGBTI activists. But new laws keep blocking peaceful events & restricting rights, violating EU protections. Leaders must keep fighting & support frontline activists to protect freedoms in Hungary & beyond.

« Avoir plus de bébés de souche européenne » : le projet nataliste d’extrême droite du milliardaire Stérin Au cours d’une conférence organisée par des catholiques intégristes, le milliardaire a dit que « son action prioritaire en France » était de stimuler une politique nataliste chrétienne et « de souche…

Les propos ouvertement racistes de Stérin sur la démographie et la natalité devraient motiver un article 40 (cc @sandrousseau.bsky.social) de la part des autorités mais comme une partie du gouvernement actuel est sensible à ce discours... www.mediapart.fr/journal/fran...

FILMER LA DESTRUCTION D'UN PEUPLE, TÉMOIGNER DU GÉNOCIDE DE L'INTÉRIEUR YouTube video by BLAST, Le souffle de l'info

Depuis près de deux ans, Blast collabore avec Mohamed El Saife, journaliste à Gaza.
Dans ce long format exceptionnel, il donne la parole à des habitants épuisés, décimés, traumatisés par des mois de bombardements, destructions, déplacements forcés auxquels s’ajoute une famine organisée meurtrière.

President von der Leyen is trying to sell yesterday’s surrender as the “biggest trade deal ever”.

But this is not a free trade deal. It is a package of concessions that were extorted from Europe by Trump’s threats.

My take: davekeating.substack.com/p/the-eu-has...

Primăria Oradea a respins din nou Marșul Pride al comunității LGBT+. Organizatorii îl vor ține oricum și vor da instituția în judecată: „Fidesz la Budapesta sau PNL la Oradea...” Asociația ARK Oradea a anunțat miercuri că va „acționa în judecată” Primăria Oradea, după ce instituția, prin semnătura primarului Florin Birta, a decis să interzică încă o dată organizarea Marșului Oradea Pride 2025. Reprezentanții comunității LGBT+ anunță că nu renunță și că vor ține marșul și fără aprobare, pe o rută alternativă, „sub forma unui protest paşnic”.

Après Budapest en Hongrie, une autre Pride est interdite, cette fois-ci en Roumanie. La Marche des Fiertés d'Oradea est maintenue par les organisateurs malgré l'interdiction.

I had the pleasure of joining my @ceps.eu colleagues at @ilgaeurope.bsky.social’s #Equality Fundraiser last week. More than a very fun afterwork, it was the opportunity to connect and show my organisation’s and personal support to ILGA-Europe invaluable work!

In this year's Budapest Pride, the spirit of Stonewall lives on. Pride is more than a celebration: it's about standing up to oppressors and never giving up on justice and equality.

Proud of my hometown - thank you to the organisers and everyone who refused to back down! Time's up, Viktor!

Echoes. Dark echoes - and quite a few continuities - everywhere.

“Let’s deploy alligators to tear migrants to shreds when they try to cross - lol!!” Joking-not-joking!

America is now governed by far-right trolls who have been molded by an extremist online culture that is devoid of humanity or dignity and operates entirely on bizarre, disgusting stunts like this.

Tomorrow's #BudapestPride could have been legal and safe. The European Commission had the tools to act, and chose not to. Inaction has consequences. Complicity has a cost.

Le gouvernement français veut imposer la présence du groupuscule d'extrême-droite "Eros" à la pride de Paris. Le Ministère de l'Intérieur aurait promis "50 CRS" pour protéger les fascistes à la pride. L'Inter-LGBT refuse et annonce que la pride ne partira pas si un cortège fasciste est imposé.

EU commissioner set to attend Budapest LGBTQ+ festivities in jab at Orbán The Hungarian government has moved to try to ban Pride under the pretext of protecting children.

European Commissioner for Equality Hadja Lahbib will next week attend Budapest Pride, an LGBTQ+ celebration that Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has tried to ban.

Shameful from the EPP - the same group who vehemently opposes the 'ethics body', even in its watered-down form and generally resists calls for stricter ethical/transparency rules for MEPs.

Let's then investigate their 'occult' ties to various big corporations, shall we?

California sues Trump administration for deploying National Guard to Los Angeles: "Unprecedented power grab" Gov. Gavin Newsom posted on social media that "Commandeering a state's National Guard without consulting the Governor of that state is illegal and immoral."

I think a lot of Europeans don't realise the confusingly-named national guards are state militaries.

What's happening in California would be like if Brussels "federalized" the Hungarian army and commanded them to occupy Budapest - over PM Orban's objections.

For no reason other than flexing power.

En route vers Gaza, le navire humanitaire du Madleen portait la voix des peuples, face à l’abandon des États.

L’arrestation illégale de la flottille de la liberté & de 6 de nos concitoyens est un mépris flagrant du droit international.

L’équipage mérite tout notre soutien.

Sur le réseau social d’un milliardaire d’extrême droite, Bernard-Henri Lévy reposte un communiqué de l’ambassade d’Israël à Paris assurant que l’équipage de la Madleen est sain et sauf alors que le gouvernement israélien s’apprête semble-t-il à emprisonner ses membres.

Il faut archiver chacune de ces saloperies.
