The unfiltered view of France, from the inside.

⚠️🔓France cracked its own leaderboard: 43.4 million hacked accounts in six months, more than any other country in Europe. Only the US did worse worldwide. That's a 60%+ jump from last year. Data breaches, ransomware, health records, bank files (FICOBA): pick your flavor, France served it all...

France's top administrative court just gutted five regional charters that shielded farmers from pesticide rules stricter than national law - meaning agricultural lobbies won while locals breathed poison: justice as written, apparently.

Death threats against an MEP for asking a racetrack to close during wildfire season: this is what passes for political debate in France now. https://t.co/ivKCG9qPbO

While wildfires consume Gironde, the prefect demands volunteers fill out forms online first: France's bureaucracy meets catastrophe, and loses.

Three women, one pregnant, stabbed in Paris' 17th by a man invoking islamic command; officials will now debate mental health rather than name what happened.

France is quietly stacking digital surveillance laws (Bergé, Chat Control) while lecturing the world about freedom: the state wants to scan your messages and decide what you may say online.

Criminologist Xavier Raufer exposes how the government massages burglary statistics to hide a surge French citizens actually live with every day.

Ten years after Father Hamel's murder, France still refuses to name the ideology killing its priests, while commemorating everything else with zealous ceremony.

While France's D-Day beaches earn UNESCO recognition, an Islamist attack in Berlin reminds us that Europe's security failures remain unaddressed: we celebrate heritage while our borders leak. https://t.co/L27kR3EU9L

🚨🔥FRANCE ON FIRE. Gironde is burning next to missile fuel depots. And firefighters just admitted out loud they can't guarantee containment.
42,000 hectares gone, 220,000 evacuated, in a zone where ArianeGroup stores rocket propulsion materials and Seveso-classified sites hold fuel and fertilizer stocks. This weekend's real mission wasn't saving forest. It was making sure the fire never touched the explosives.
2,500 firefighters, 1,500 reinforcements from Switzerland, a military A400M water bomber. Still called "operationally impossible" to fully control.
Behind it: a forest planted as flammable monoculture pine for profit, not safety, now burning at rates up 20% in a decade. That's the secondary scandal. The primary one is this: critical, explosive infrastructure sitting inside a fire zone France still can't contain.

Musk tells a journalist that "far-right" is just media jargon for ordinary people: a crude rhetorical move, but it crystallizes what millions already believe about how the press weaponizes language to delegitimize dissent. https://t.co/jZUwvNqCxy

Bordeaux is 15km from an inferno and France just evacuated 230,000 people like it's routine.

Wildfire in Gironde has already torched 42,000 hectares. Footage shot from a Canadair water bomber shows flames swallowing the landscape whole. This isn't the south burning quietly anymore, it's next door to a major metropolis.

Bordeaux on fire. Gironde's prefect says this wildfire has hit a scale never seen before and it's heading straight for the city. No containment numbers given, just the direction: toward France's wine capital...

France just claimed two monumental heritage sites at Unesco: D-Day beaches in Normandy and Cathar castles in the south. National pride, concrete landmarks, and the weight of history all at once.

Thousands evacuated across Gironde as "unprecedented" wildfires rage through southwestern France, destroying homes and heritage while state preparedness remains woefully inadequate.

Musk just said what half of Europe thinks: calling ordinary people "far-right" is how media assassinates dissent without argument. The label has become a cudgel, not a diagnosis. https://t.co/jZUwvNqCxy

A criminal cartel operating from Algeria threatens French officials with impunity while our state pretends border control is merely a rhetorical exercise: this is not a policing problem, it is a capitulation dressed as nuance.

Ten years after a priest was beheaded in his own church by ISIS-linked jihadists, the Communist mayor of Saint-Étienne-du-Rouvray marked the anniversary with an interfaith fest titled "Muslims and Catholics: educating youth to meet each other." Beheading remembered through a "panel on unity" says plenty on its own.

Macron congratulates communist Vietnam for adopting his model of social media control—because nothing says "liberal democracy" like admiring Beijing's playbook applied to Paris. https://t.co/C8gTHRsy8w

A pilot just did the math: 2 billion euros to clean the Seine, or 15 firefighting Canadairs to battle the wildfires France can't seem to stop—and the State chose neither wisely.
