[🇫🇷 Gaullisme ☨ @Gaullisme_Fr]

🇫🇷 6 juin 1944, minuit, à Londres, Philippe de Gaulle raconte l'émotion de son père : « Je m’apprête à me retirer quand […] le visage devenu grave, il m’arrête et articule d’une voix sourde :
- Ça y est !
- Comment ça y est ?
- Le débarquement ! En ce moment, notre 2° régiment de parachutistes de l'air est en train de larguer ses premiers contingents sur les landes de Saint-Marcel dans le Morbihan, près de Vannes. En plus de nos centaines de milliers d'hommes du maquis qui sont déjà sur place, ce sont des Français qui débarquent les premiers en France. L'échelon de tête des armées américaines et britannique est sur le point d'aborder en Normandie avec nos commandos marine. »

Alors, là, il y a eu un moment d'émotion qui l'a pris à la gorge, aussi fortement que je l'ai éprouvé moi-même.
Comment avez-vous senti cela ?

C'était presque imperceptible. Il s'est tu pendant une bonne minute. Rien ne bougeait sur son visage. Seuls ses doigts trahissaient son émotion : il les étreignait fortement. On se regardait, c'est tout. Puis il s'exclame : « Voilà, c'est notre raison d'être depuis quatre ans qui est arrivée. » Et après un ins-tan, il ajoute : « Depuis 1940, enfin, après tout ce qui s'est passé, cher vieux garçon ! » Il était minuit. »

Starmer, Macron and Merz will meet Zelensky in London on Sunday evening. It always seems to come as a surprise in 🇬🇧 but Starmer is considered by 🇫🇷 to be a solid and efficient partner, on Ukraine and European security, and a crucial part of Europe’s E3 leadership format

🚨 Erling Haaland on joining Barcelona:

🗣️ Erling Haaland:

"To be honest, if Barcelona were ever to come for me in the future, it would be something I would seriously consider. We are talking about one of the biggest clubs in the history of football, a club that has inspired generations of players around the world. Growing up, Barcelona was always one of the teams I enjoyed watching the most. The way they played, the philosophy they represented, and the players who wore that shirt left a huge impression on me as a kid.

Barcelona is different. It is not just about winning trophies, although the club has won everything there is to win. It is about a style, an identity, and a way of understanding football. The motto 'Més que un Club' is famous for a reason. When you watch Barcelona, you can feel that there is something special about the institution, something that goes beyond results and statistics.

As a player, I admire that philosophy. At Barcelona, intelligence on the ball is just as important as physical qualities. The club has always valued technical ability, creativity, and understanding of the game. For any footballer, especially someone who loves the sport, that environment is incredibly attractive.

When I look at the current squad, I see some extraordinary talents. Lamine Yamal is a player with a very special future ahead of him. At his age, what he is doing is simply incredible. Pedri is another player I admire greatly because of his vision, composure, and football intelligence. There are many young players at Barcelona who represent the future of the game.

Right now, I am fully focused on my current club and giving everything for the team I represent. Football can change very quickly, and nobody knows what the future holds. But if you ask me whether wearing the Barcelona shirt one day would be a dream, the answer is yes. It is a club I have always respected, a club that was part of my childhood, and if the opportunity ever came at the right moment, it would be something very special for me."

La UE ha aprobado pagar a terceros países para crear plataformas de retorno de inmigrantes irregulares. Con ello, la UE dimite de sus principios humanitarios y se embarca en una solución costosa e ineficiente como ya ha demostrado el Plan Albania de Meloni y el RU en Ruanda.

David Beckham'dan unutulmaz Lionel Messi itirafı! 🚨

▪️ "Japonya'da saat sabahın 5'iydi, uyuyorduk ve telefonum durmaksızın çalıyordu. Victoria uyumamızı söyleyerek telefonu kapatmamı istedi."

▪️ "Gözlüklerimi taktım ve gelen mesajı okudum: 'Leo Messi, Inter Miami'ye gelmeye karar verdi.' Bunu söylerken bile hala tüylerim diken diken oluyor. Yatakta doğruldum ve ağlamaya başladım. Victoria ne olduğunu, birinin mi öldüğünü sordu."

▪️ "Jorge Más ile konuştuğumda ona hemen havalimanına gitmesini, uçaktan indiğinde orada olmaları gerektiğini söyledim. Çünkü gelen kişi kardeşi de olabilirdi, belki de yanlışlıkla kardeşini transfer etmiştik, haha. Ama hayır, gelen Leo'ydu, Messi'ydi, futbol tarihinin en büyüğüydü."

🚨 Gerard Pique fires back at Enrique Riquelme's Barcelona relegation comments:

🗣️ Gerard Piqué:

"Every time I hear people say that Barcelona are obsessed with Real Madrid, someone from the Madrid side comes out with comments that prove the exact opposite.

I find it incredible that a person who openly dreams of becoming Real Madrid president can publicly say that he wants Barcelona relegated. That's not healthy rivalry. That's obsession. Rivalry should be about competing, about trying to be better than your opponent, not wishing for their downfall.

What surprises me even more is the timing. Real Madrid have just finished two seasons without winning the major trophies they expected, yet instead of talking about how to improve their own situation, some people are focused on Barcelona. At Barça, we've always preferred to answer on the pitch. That's where history is written and where reputations are earned.

The truth is that Barcelona remain a reference point. Madrid still haven't found consistent superiority against Barça, and they continue watching a project that keeps developing, producing talent and building for the future. That's why these comments appear. They don't come from confidence; they come from concern.

You only have to look at the Spanish national team. Barcelona continue providing a huge number of players because the club's philosophy, development and footballing ideas are working. That doesn't happen by accident. It happens through years of commitment to a model.

People are free to wish whatever they want for Barcelona. They can talk about relegation, crises or failure if it makes them feel better. But football has always been decided on the pitch, not in interviews, not on television and not through provocative statements. Barcelona will continue competing, continue fighting for titles and continue proving its value where it matters most: on the field."
