The French far-right’s embarrassing pre-invasion views on Russia and Ukraine

Marine Le Pen and Éric Zemmour, the two far-right candidates in France’s presidential elections in April, have been careful not to support Russia’s attack on Ukraine. But their past stances reveal themselves to be far more ambiguous than their current declarations.

Eric Zemmour is one of the most ardent defenders of Vladimir Putin, whom he presents simply as “a Russian patriot” (don’t expect him to praise a Ukrainian patriot with the same ardor). “It is legitimate for him to defend Russia’s interests (…). The Americans have done a lot to provoke Putin,” he added without a say on the Russian military build-up.

Marine Le Pen, the other far-right candidate, is as old a friend of Russia as her rival. She does not see any reason to maintain sanctions against Russia imposed after the annexation of Crimea in 2014 and keeps advocating for “the return to normal relations” with Moscow. “Reach out” to the Kremlin is also a line often used while Vladimir Putin keeps his hand in his pockets. The fact that a Russian bank has in the past granted a loan of about 10 million euros to Marine Le Pen’s party does not put it on an equal footing in terms of credibility.

Alexei Navalny faces 15 more years in prison

Russia could extend Alexei Navalny’s imprisonment for up to a further 15 years in a fresh criminal trial that his supporters warn has been overshadowed by the crisis in Ukraine.

Navalny is serving a three-and-a-half-year sentence at the prison for a separate embezzlement charge. He survived a poisoning attempt on his life in 2020 and was arrested after returning to Russia last year.

“The danger to Navalny’s life, ie the probability of him being killed in prison, will increase exponentially depending on what happens in Ukraine” … “The odds are pretty bad already, but a full-on Russian invasion barely leaves him any chance to survive.” Maria Pevchikh, another top Navalny all

War in Ukraine

Russia presses invasion to outskirts of Ukrainian capital,

Explosions were heard in the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv early Friday as Russian forces pressed on with a full-scale invasion that resulted in the deaths of more than 100 Ukrainians in the first full day of fighting and could eventually rewrite the global post-Cold War security order. After using airstrikes on cities and military bases, Russian military units moved swiftly to take on Ukraine’s seat of government and its largest city in what U.S. officials suspect is a brazen attempt by Russian President Vladimir Putin to dismantle the government and replace it with his own regime.

War and peace in Ukraine

Macron paves way for potential Putin-Biden summit on Ukraine crisis.

US President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin have agreed in principle to a summit over Ukraine, the French leader said on Monday, offering a possible path out of one of the most dangerous European crises in decades.

News of Macron’s proposal comes after a week of heightened tension spurred by Russia’s military buildup on Ukraine’s borders. Russian forces have been amassing around its neighbour since late last year, something Western countries say is a prelude to an invasion that could come at any moment.

Russia denies any intention to invade, but nerves were further frayed when the Belarusian defence ministry announced that Russia would extend military drills in Belarus that were due to end on Sunday.

Cannabis perfume

Ganja by Comme Des Garçons

Like THC, CBD (cannabidiol of its complete name, less popular) is a cannabinoid present in cannabis. But unlike its borderline cousin, it is not psychotropic and therefore does not trigger any effect on your behavior. On the contrary, this substance seems to show beneficial effects according to some studies. The CBD would thus act on insomnia, relieve certain chronic pains, beautify the skin, reduce stress… Extracted from hemp flowers, the CBD oil is consumed in all forms: infusion, creams, drops, gums and many others.

Faced with the success of CBD and more generally the use of hemp in cosmetics, the perfume industry has tried to rack its nostrils to introduce this new material by creating CBD or cannabis perfume. Intoxicating and hypnotizing notes have thus become attractive arguments to praise the merits of these fragrances with a transgressive universe. The cannabic aromas are sensual, almost carnal.

The mad women’s ball

A film directed and scripted by Melanie Laurent, and based on Victoria Mas’ novel of the same name, the richly cinematic costume drama follows the story of Eugénie Cléry (Lou de Laâge), a well-heeled French girl living in Belle Époque Paris in 1885. Eugénie is smart, an avid reader and a rebellious character with an interest in spiritualism. She also sees dead people.

Fig tree

Figs are easy to plant, they grow well in almost any planting zone, and they require a minimal amount of care. There are many different varieties of figs. Including Brown Turkey, Kadota, Adriatic, Calimyrna, and Black Mission – a common variety that’s easy to spot because they have a rich purple color which almost makes them appear black.

The cannibal of the Pyrenees

Jérémy Rimbaud, the “cannibal” of the Pyrenees who murdered a nonagenarian in November 2013 in Nouilhan (Hautes-Pyrénées), escaped from the psychiatric hospital in Toulouse in which he was interned, before attacking a septuagenarian.

He was arrested by law enforcement a few hours later.

In 2013, this 26-year-old former soldier killed a 90-year-old retiree by smashing his skull with a metal tool before attempting to burn him.

The man had also claimed to have removed and eaten the heart and the tongue of his victim, to whose home he had entered under cover of the night

He had mentioned “external forces”, saying “having received orders by voices”.

Experts had unanimously considered that Jérémy Rimbaud “was suffering from a psychiatric disorder that abolished his discernment”.

He had then been declared irresponsible for his actions at the time of the events and had not been tried.

Alexia Fabre to lead Paris’s École des Beaux-Arts

Alexia Fabre, the longtime chef curator of MAC VAL, a major contemporary art museum in the outskirts of Paris, has been appointed director of École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts. She becomes the first woman to take the helm of the 400-year-old institution, succeeding Jean de Loisy whose tenure came to an end in January. While the school’s recent appointments have been embroiled in controversy, with critics pointing to the lack of diversity and generational renewal in its leadership, Fabre’s nomination has been widely celebrated in the press, with an article in the French newspaper Le Monde exclaiming ‘Finally a woman at the head of Paris’s Beaux-Arts!

Italy’s president calls for unity as he starts second term

Sergio Mattarella and Mario Draghi

Sergio Mattarella urged Italians to pull together to support the country’s recovery from the coronavirus pandemic after he was sworn in for a second term as Italy’s president.

“We still need to work together to strengthen Italy, beyond the current difficulties,”

Italy has recorded more than 147,000 deaths linked to COVID-19, the second highest tally in Europe after Britain, and the economy is still recovering from the shock dealt to businesses by repeated lockdowns and restrictions.

Political tensions are expected to rise in Prime Minister Mario Draghi’s broad, unity coalition as parties jockey for position ahead of a national election due early next year.

Yannick Jadot

EU, climate, social justice at core of Jadot’s Green presidential project.

“Europe is at the heart of Yannick Jadot’s presidential project. We need Europe to contain global warming and the collapse of biodiversity. We need Europe to tackle migration issues calmly, to fight tax evasion effectively and to carry weight on the international scene,”

Economically speaking, Jadot’s vision is mainly about “Europe first”, through ecological and social standards, which Yannick Jadot intends to strengthen at the European level. His vision also focuses on relocating the production of a greater number of goods, food and energy in Europe.

“It is a way to promote companies and jobs in Europe while encouraging companies around the world to align themselves,” Green French MEP Michèle Rivasi told EURACTIV France.

Bosnia shivers as ghost of nationalism returns

The Russian threat to Ukraine isn’t the only potential crisis in Eastern Europe this year. Bosnia and Herzegovina is heading for a period of deep political turmoil, with a key election scheduled for October.

Since denial of the Srebrenica massacre was made punishable by law, Milorad Dodik, the Bosnian Serb leader of Republika Srpska, has been making threats of secession.


Radovan Karadžić, the leader of the insurgent entity of Bosnia and Herzegovina during the war, had built his policy on islamophobia, and on the myth of the threat that Muslim Bosnians would pose to the Serbian people. The Serbs were about as threatened by Muslims as the Germans were by Jews in the 1930s. 

The current Bosnian Serb leader is doing no different, fulfilling Karadžić’s war aims by political means. To top it all off, his Islamophobia ensures that he receives substantial support from European anti-liberal leaders and parties.

Indeed, few pay attention to Milorad Dodik’s daily invective and the blatant lies he fills the media with. Some analysts try to justify this political crisis with the cliché that politicians use bellicose rhetoric for electoral purposes, in order to divert attention from their own misdeeds. But war propaganda is what it is, it has no hidden meaning.

The fragile multicultural state of Bosnia-Herzegovina is also prey to the diatribes of Croat nationalists… In Sarajevo, however, voices are being raised against the fragmentation of the country into ethnic groups.

  • Youth violence is a global public health problem. It includes a range of acts from bullying and physical fighting, to more severe sexual and physical assault to homicide.
  • Worldwide some 200 000 homicides occur among youth 10–29 years of age each year, which is 42% of the total number of homicides globally each year.
  • Homicide is the fourth leading cause of death in people aged 10-29 years, and 84% of these homicides involve male victims.
  • For each young person killed, many more sustain injuries requiring hospital treatment.
  • In one study, from 3–24% of women report that their first sexual experience was forced.
  • When it is not fatal, youth violence has a serious, often lifelong, impact on a person’s physical, psychological and social functioning

Young people are fleeing Portugal in droves

Portugal’s stagnating economy and aging and shrinking population.

With young Portuguese people leaving their homeland in droves in search of better-paid work, their older relatives and friends are worried about the future of the country.

The exodus, which is being compounded by a low birth rate, has seen the country’s population shrink by 2 percent, or 214,000 people, during the past decade, according to preliminary findings from the nation’s 2021 census.

However, around 80,000 people have been leaving the country each year. Most have been replaced by unskilled workers from other countries willing to toil for little pay in the tourism and agriculture sectors.

“At the same time as our qualified graduates are emigrating because wages here are so low, we are importing low-skilled immigrants,” David Justino, a former education minister and coordinator of the PSD’s election program, told the Financial Times newspaper. “This has the perverse effect of perpetuating a low-wage economy.”

Otelo Saraiva de Carvalho

Army officer who masterminded the 1974 coup that sparked Portugal’s Carnation Revolution.

Carvalho, the bluntly spoken military strategist, somewhat naive politically, emerged as a flamboyant, charismatic and much-loved leader, blessed with a wonderful sense of humour. He became widely known by his first name, Otelo.

In 1985 he was arrested, accused of being a leader of FP-25, a far-left terrorist group responsible for a series of killings and bomb attacks. Although he always denied any involvement with the group and its actions, he was sentenced to 15 years in prison. While in Caxias prison, he met and fell in love with a divorced prison worker, Filomena Morais. He served five years before being released and was later granted an amnesty and pardoned.

Planetary boundaries

There is an urgent need for a new paradigm that integrates the continued development of human societies and the maintenance of the Earth system (ES) in a resilient and accommodating state. The planetary boundary (PB) framework contributes to such a paradigm by providing a science-based analysis of the risk that human perturbations will destabilize the ES at the planetary scale.

The planetary boundaries concept presents a set of nine planetary boundaries within which humanity can continue to develop and thrive for generations to come : climate change, biodiversity loss, ocean acidification, ozone depletion, atmospheric aerosol pollution, freshwater use, biogeochemical flows of nitrogen and phosphorus, land-system change, and release of novel chemicals.

Local and regional democracy in France

Pantin city councilor

The commune , the smallest unit of democracy in France, dates to the parishes of the ancien régime in the years before the Revolution. Its modern structure dates from a law of 1884, which stipulates that communes have municipal councils that are to be elected for six years, include at least nine members, and be responsible for “the affairs of the commune.” The council administers public land, sets up public undertakings, votes on its own budget, and over recent years has played an increasing role in promoting local economic development. It elects a mayor and the mayor’s assistants.

French communes are typically quite small; there are more than 36,500 of them. Efforts have been made to group communes or to bring them closer to one another, but these have been only partly successful. In certain cities, such as Lyon and Lille, cooperative urban communities have been created to enable the joint management and planning of a range of municipal services, among them waste disposal, street cleaning, road building, and fire fighting. A similar approach has been adopted elsewhere, including rural areas, with the establishment of syndicats intercommunaux that allows services to be administered jointly by several communes.

‘Jektvik ferry quay area’ by Carl Viggo Hølmebakk

Carl-Viggo Hølmebakk, is an architect and general manager of the Norwegian architecture firm carrying his name. Hølmebakk established his own Oslo office in 1992, after studying and teaching architecture at the Oslo School of Architecture and Design (AHO).

 The jektvik ferry terminal begins as an assembly of connections and materials that give purpose to a waiting room and two restrooms. A prefabricated aluminum exoskeleton supports a structural glass facade that wraps around the building. Along the outside, a thin framework of pine struts gives texture to an otherwise plane and glowing skin. standing off of the glass envelope, a fiberglass membrane adds another layer of translucency, concealing the lighting fixtures which become sources of obscure light.

Monica Vitti

Monica Vitti, iconic Italian actress and muse to directors Michelangelo Antonioni and Luis Buñuel, died in Rome on Wednesday after battling Alzheimer’s disease for decades. Italian culture minister Dario Franceschini mourned Vitti’s death at 90 in a news release. “Goodbye to the queen of Italian cinema,” he wrote.

Vitti captivated international audiences with her chilly, ethereal beauty when she starred in the contentious Antonioni film L’Avventura, which was lauded by British magazine Sight &Sound in 1962 as the second-greatest movie ever made after Citizen Kane. The actress continued her symbiotic relationship and romance with Antonioni when she starred in his films La Notte, L’Eclisse, and Red Desert

The end of BlackBerry phones

The company is pulling support for its devices, meaning that at some point they will no longer be able to connect to cellular networks.

It may seem difficult to imagine if you weren’t using cell phones at the time, but BlackBerry once ruled the smartphone market. Its keyboard-based hardware was widely adopted in corporate settings, in part because the services it provided typically ran through BlackBerry servers, allowing for high levels of security and control. An indication of its importance is that early internal builds of Android looked like a cheap BlackBerry knockoff, rather than the cheap iPhone knockoff that was eventually released.
