The Ministry of the interior released last week a new report called "Insecurity and delinquency in 2022". As underlined in its introduction, "almost all recorded delinquency indicators in France were up in 2022 on the previous year".

Just to name a few: murders are up 9%, rape and attempted rape up 12%, burglaries up 11%, drug abuse 14%.

Is this normal? Check out the surreal reaction of our minister, when confronted to last years' numbers on live TV.

2023-07-14 13:00:00 HAPPY NATIONAL DAY: GET ACTIVE

One could easily get depressed at the unstable, americanized society twisted by taxes and immigration that is now France. One could be tempted into cynicism, inaction, apathy. Surely, there is nothing left to defend, nothing to fight for? Wrong.

The history of France is built on disasters. The Hundred Years' War and its lawless anarchy, the Black Plague and its indiscriminate killing, the Revolution and its memory-holed genocide, the Empire and its subsequent European defeat, the World Wars and their mass graves.

Roughly 6% of our viewers are French. To them, we would like to say: it will get worse, but this too shall pass. To get trough this, we need you to GET ACTIVE.

Test yourself trough bootcamps
Learn first aid skills with the Red Cross
Get a firearm training in Poland
Practice urban warfare with airsoft replicas

These are mere examples, completely legal, and with good feedbacks. These are small steps, but taking them will give you important skills and bring you among likeminded individuals. Of course, gyms, martial arts and hunting clubs are equally worth frequenting.

Inertia is insidious. Pushing yourself forward requires way more strength at its beginning. But do it for a while and it will become a routine, then a mindset, and then a lifestyle.

2023-07-13 08:03:59 Riots: 73% of the French agree in favor of nationality stripping for rioters with dual nationality

As France recovers from the riots that caused millions of euros in material damage, a CSA poll for CNEWS probed the popular opinion on different issues.

74% of men were in favor of stripping French nationals of their nationality if they had taken part in the riots, compared with 72% of women.

About one third, 34% of those under 35 are opposed to it. Among 35-49 year-olds, opposition drops to 29%, and to 22% for the over-50s.

Unsurprisingly, respondents who claim to be voters of right-wing and far-right political parties are very much in favor. Overall, 91% support the idea.

The far-left and green party are the only ones with a majority opposing the loss of French nationality, with 55% and 52% opposed respectively.

July 14th will be the 234th anniversary of the downfall of the Bastille fortress, and the subsequent rise of the not-so desired Republic. Since only 10 days will separate us from the worst riots in the country's history, a unique operation has been announced.

130,000 police officers and gendarmes will be mobilized on July 13 and 14. The RAID, GIGN and BRI teams will also be fully mobilized throughout the country. The deployment of Gendarmerie helicopters, drones and armored vehicles has also been authorized. Buses and streetcars will stop everywhere in France at 10pm.

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.
