2023-07-07 15:08:19 Of the 1.6 million euros raised, €500,000 will be left after taxes

The fundraising for the police officer's family was closed on July 4 with a total of 1.636.200€ collected. Is it over then? Wait, here comes the tax man.

The rule for donations between third parties is a hefty 60% "gift tax", to which only some exception exist, like associations authorized to receive donations. The platform itself will also take a fee of 2.9%, equal to 68.000€.

The fundraising for Nahel's family, currently standing at 464.000€, is also set to suffer the same monetary fate.

2023-07-07 10:42:41 MACRON: «EUROPE AND AFRICA WILL BE VERY DESTABILIZED IN TERM OF FOOD»

At the end of the European summit in Versailles yesterday, the French President warned of impending food "instabilities" in Europe and Africa.

«We must re-evaluate our production strategies to defend our food and protein sovereignty as Europeans, but also re-evaluate a strategy towards Africa, without which several countries in Africa will be affected by famines in the next 12 to 18 months».

France, the European Union's largest wheat exporter, is warning that low rainfall and the threat of drought might affect its agricultural output this year, the Financial Times has reported. Year to date rainfall in the country has barely passed 200mm, close to the lowest recorded level and only two thirds of the median, per the French meteorological service. France exports half its 35 million tonnes annual wheat production, and is seen as "a reliable fallback in Europe" given the disruption caused by the conflict in Ukraine, according to Kona Haque, of ED&F Man, a commodities broker.

It appears this backstop might now have disappeared, raising yet more concerns about the world's food security. Given likely disruptions to wheat from Russia and Ukraine, which between them account for a quarter of global supply, and the serious droughts in the United States (15% of global supply) and Canada (13%), the news from France (10%) suggests that five of the world’s six largest exporters of wheat are simultaneously heading for large production declines.

In the medieval times, sometimes only Jesters were allowed to give bad news to the King - news no one else dared to give. In 1340, when the French fleet was sunk by the English navy at the battle of Sluys, the Court Jester of King Phillippe VI told him:

"English sailors don't even have the guts to jump into the water like our brave French".

2023-07-05 23:31:24 Minister of Justice has announced "flyers" to remind parents of their obligations

To fight back against riots composed essentially of 18 years old, harsh measures are taken: French Minister of Justice Éric Dupond-Moretti announced that he had "drafted a flyer" for "parents" to explain "in simple terms" to those who "may have forgotten" their obligations.

The flyer will be distributed to all jurisdictions to be given to parents whose children are brought before the courts, as well as to police stations and gendarmeries, the Chancellerie said.

«Are they aware they're ridiculous?», one comment wonders.
