Les Macronistes l'affirment: "La campagne de Valérie Hayer est en train de décoller, affirme l'un de ses soutiens, contre toutes les évidences. Pour rappel, la malheureuse candidate de la majorité accuse 15 points de retard dans les sondages sur Bardella. "Ce n'est pas l'élection la plus sexy mais on va finir par trouver la méthode pour intéresser les électeurs". La méthode Coué?

so this is why the #Trump#GOP mafia wanted to kneecap the Federal Elections Commission. during Trump's term, they completely defunded it, to the point there was one commissioner for the Democrats posting on Twitter memos because they even didn't have a budget for press releases.
"Almost 80% of the respondents, all from the authoritative #IPCC, foresee at least 2.5C of global heating, while almost half anticipate at least 3C (5.4F). Only 6% thought the internationally agreed 1.5C (2.7F) limit would be met.
Many of the scientists envisage a “semi-dystopian” future, with famines, conflicts and mass migration, driven by heatwaves, wildfires, floods and storms of an intensity and frequency far beyond those that have already struck."
"Most experts (76%) backed voting for politicians who pledge strong #climate measures, where fair #elections take place. The recommendation is powerful in a year when voters in countries including the US, UK, India, the EU, Mexico and South Africa and more all go to the polls."
“The science is there, but the lack of will of politicians worldwide is retarding climate action.”

Ich muss allerdings zugeben: Neben den Programmen (Papier ist ja geduldig - da kann man allerhand Schönes reinschreiben) sind mir auch die Personen sehr wichtig, und da habe ich besonders bei Volt meine Probleme.

Macron a fixé un objectif à la pauvre Valérie Hayer pour les Européennes: "22%, c'est faisable", répète le président, rêvant de réitérer le score de 2019. "C'est irréaliste, comme la trajectoire du déficit public", ricane un ancien conseiller, allusion à la nouvelle feuille de route gouvernementale pour faire revenir le déficit public sous les 3 % du PIB d'ici à 2027. "Le président n'est pas magicien". Avec un peu de poudre de perlimpinpin...
The political landscape in Maharashtra looks vastly different from what it was in 2019. While the BJP on paper is in alliance with the official factions of the 2 biggest regional parties in the state, the factions led by their founders stand against it. The charts below explains how BJP traded uncertainty for influence in Maharashtra.
the fact that Brasil prosecuted #Bolsonaro for his election interference (before his coup attempt) before #Trump tells you why +16 years of antifascist governments in #Brasil were absolutely needed.
as i have said before, am going to say again: Kissinger's Operation Condor in Latin America is proof that USA's #1 export is #fascism.
Russia is in control Putin more than ever now! It is the beginning of dictatorship.
Vladimir Putin began his fifth term as Russian leader at a glittering Kremlin inauguration, setting out on another six years in office after destroying his political opponents, launching a devastating war in Ukraine and concentrating all power in his hands.
In India, when you go to vote they mark a line on your left index finger's nail and cuticle with an "indelible" blue/dark purple ink to prevent voter fraud. This stain doesn't come off for a few weeks. What I didn't know is that there are several other countries that have also adopted this election ink and in some countries they stain the index finger tip completely!
It's 11 am here rn and already the temp has gone up to 38 deg C. I'm so glad that we left early in the morning today to go vote for the Lok Sabha elections. At 8 am it was cool cloudy weather and we didn't have to stand in the queue too long 🙂
"In the two weeks before October's election, more people than ever before (454,000 people) enrolled to vote, including more than 100,000 enrolments on election day.
