Don’t expect the left-wing weenies running France to keep intifadas under control. They are too busy cracking down on thought criminals who don’t cheerfully embrace the displacement of French people by Muslim colonists:
Paris Saint-Germain coach Christophe Galtier has been summoned to stand trial in December as part of an investigation into racism allegations at his former club Nice, a prosecutor said Friday.
Galtier and his son, John Valovic-Galtier, were placed in custody for questioning on Friday morning. …
If found guilty, Galtier risks a maximum sentence of three years in jail and a fine of 45,000 euros ($49,000).
His crime:
RMC Sport and other French media published reports quoting a leaked email from former Nice director of football Julien Fournier to the club’s owners, in which he accused Galtier of saying there were too many Black and Muslim players in the squad.
The Muslims burning down major libraries are only a symptom. The disease killing France and the rest of Western Civilization is moonbattery.
Two-thirds of the people of France would support the end of the Fifth Republic, as the government of President Emmanuel Macron continues to fail to restore social order in the country.
While the streets of France have descended into scenes similar to those seen in violent revolutions not witnessed in supposedly stable Western European countries for some time, the French public is apparently prepared to back a political revolution of their own, with a majority supporting the abolition of the republic that has governed the country since 1958, the fifth such republic since the violent revolution which abolished the Bourbon Monarchy in 1792.
The Fifth Republic, ushered in by Charles de Gaulle, is the second-longest lasting republic in France since the Third Republic, which was formed following the fall of Emperor Napoleon III in 1870. Yet, despite its relative longevity, increasing political instability and a growing sense of division between the public and political elites in Paris have apparently soured the people on the Fifth Republic.
According to a survey conducted by Ifop and Fiducial found that 67 per cent of the public would support the formation of a Sixth Republic with a new constitution based upon a parliamentary system and proportional representation, compared to just 33 per cent who would oppose the fundamentally revolutionary move.
With the departure of the United Kingdom, France currently stands alone in the European Union as the only country to not have some form of proportional representation, using a system that makes it more difficult for parties outside of the established mainstream to wield parliamentary power. This appears to have had the effect of leaving millions of French men and women feeling as though their voices are ignored by the ruling elite.
The entrenched powers in Paris have pointed to the political instability that can come with proportional representation, as was the case during the Fourth Republic of France between 1946 and 1958, during which time there were a staggering 20 different governments in just three legislative terms.
It could be argued that the current system has led to more political instability — particularly over the past decade — in which the public has repeatedly felt compelled to take to the streets in order to have any meaningful impact on government policy.
In some instances, street actions have been successful, such as the Yellow Vest protesters who forced the Macron government in 2018 to abandon planned hikes to the fuel tax.
However, more recently, months of protests and riots throughout France failed to force the government to back down from the rise in the pension age. Yet, what does seem to be the case is that there is a growing sense of political alienation among the middle and working-class people in France, in which political fights must be waged on the streets rather than with the electoral system.
A move to proportional representation would likely see an increase in power for figures such as leftist leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon as well as former populist presidential candidate Marine Le Pen. Perhaps it is unsurprising then, that both the so-called far-left and far-right of French politics both align in supporting such a measure.
Le Pen has argued for a split proportional system under which 66 per cent of lawmakers would be elected based upon a pure popular vote, while the remaining third would be awarded to the party victor to prevent political instability. The populist firebrand has said that such a system would allow a “fair representation of the sensitivities that are expressed in the country.”
Implementing a new system of government may seem like a far-off prospect with Emmanuel Macron’s second presidential term officially set to run until 2027, however, it is by no means guaranteed that the ‘Jupiterian’ president will finish out his term, let alone last through what appears set to be a tumultuous summer.
Back in April, President Macron begged the public to give his government 100 days to implement reforms and regain the trust of the nation following weeks of protests and riots throughout the country in response to the cost of living crisis and his unpopular pension reforms, which were seen as a slap in the face of a struggling working class.
Though the labour union-led protests have somewhat subsided — for the time being — they have been replaced by a more destructive form of rioting, with racial tensions boiling over in the country following the police killing of an Algerian teenager.
In 2021, a letter signed by 20 former French generals, including the former Commandant of the French Foreign Legion Christian Piquemal, warned that multiculturalism and increased radicalisation against the French state among migrant communities could lead to a civil war.
“Today, some talk about racialism, indigenism, and decolonial theories. But through these terms, it is a race war that these hateful and fanatical partisans want. They despise our country, its traditions, its culture, and want to see it dissolve by ripping off its past and history,” the letter said.

It remains to be seen how long the riots over the death of the Algerian teen will last, yet, they have seemingly doomed Macron’s hopes of restoring order within his 100-day timeframe, which is set to expire this month, ironically on the anniversary of the Storming the Bastille, one of the key moments of the original French Revolution in 1789.
Perhaps France is fated to remain a state of perpetual revolution and will continue to be bound by the prophecy of French political philosopher Jacques Mallet du Pan who warned in 1793 that “like Saturn, the Revolution devours its children.”
On Saturday, July 1, a Hindu girl was abused and molested by two Muslim youths on Saharanpur road in Herbertpur, Vikasnagar, Uttarakhand. When her relatives and members of some Hindu organisations protested against the same, a Muslim mob gathered near a mosque in the Dakrani village in Vikasnagar, raised ‘Nara-e-Takbeer and Allah hu Akbar’ slogans and created a ruckus, in a show of strength.
In a video of the incident shared on social media by Punjab Kesari, Muslims can be seen gathered in large numbers and raising “Naara-e-Takbeer, Allah-hu-Akbar” slogans. The sloganeering reportedly continued till late night on Saturday.
According to Punjab Kesari, the matter escalated after a Hindu girl was abused and subsequently molested by two Muslim youths in the hamlet on Saturday evening. The Hindu girl, reportedly, had gone to the Herbertpur market to buy some goods. While returning home in the evening, two Muslim youths accosted the Hindu girl on Saharanpur Road and started hurling abuses at her. When she protested, the youths molested her.
The horrified Hindu girl somehow escaped the clutches of the accused and rushed back home. She narrated her ordeal to her parents and relatives, who, in turn, approached members of some Hindu organisations.
The angry relatives, local villagers and members of Hindu outfits reached the Dakrani police station to complain about the accused. As the news spread, the two Muslim youths fled and hid in a nearby mosque. Learning about this, the irate villagers reached the mosque and started protesting, demanding the arrest of the two accused.
Within no time, thousands of Muslims gathered at the mosque and began raising Islamist slogans and creating a ruckus. Reportedly they used their Whatsapp group network to send messages asking Muslims to accumulate near the mosque.
The sloganeering continued until past midnight. Fearing a communal flare-up, police teams from the Vikasnagar Kotwali hurried to the spot and disbursed the Muslim mob. The Hindus were also assured prompt and speedy action in the case, after which they too returned.
Speaking about the incident, Sanjay Kumar, the Inspector of Vikasnagar Kotwali said that the police have registered an FIR against the two youths and a team has been deployed to investigate the matter and nab the accused.
OpIndia contacted the Vikasnagar police station to know more about the incident. The officer who answered the call concurred that the incident in which the Hindu girl had been abused and molested by two Muslim youths did indeed occur and that the police are looking into it. The officer, however, firmly declined to provide any information regarding the event in which a Muslim crowd gathered outside a mosque late on Saturday night and raised Islamist slogans. She, in fact, flatly refused to have any information regarding any such occurrence.
To counteract the shortage of worker personnel, Germany needs 1.5 million immigrants a year, claims German economist Monika Schnitzer, who heads the influentaial German government’s Council of Experts.
She also asserts that skilled workers don’t necessarily have to know German. Instead, it is more important that employees at Germany’s government immigration offices speak English.
“Germany needs 1.5 million immigrants a year if we are to have 400,000 new citizens every year, minus the considerable out-migration, and thus maintain the labor force,” the economist told the Süddeutsche Zeitung. She said, however, that she was skeptical that this could be achieved. She said the new skilled labor law goes in the right direction, but said it was not enough, and Germany needs to facilitate even more immigration.
“We urgently need a welcoming culture,” said Schnitzer.
Although Germany is facing an immigration crisis that is costing the country at least €36 billion a year in terms of housing, education and social benefits, many mainstream economists like Schnitzer are calling for more immigration. Not only do a majority of Germans reject this position, but the country’s anti-immigration Alternative for Germany (AfD) party has hit a record of 21 percent of support in the polls, with 30 percent of Germans saying they would consider voting for the party.
Germany has passed a new Skilled Workers Act, which she says goes in the right direction. The new law is expected to bring in millions of new foreigners on a points-based system.
“For example, foreigners’ offices that don’t scare off immigrants, but offer service,” she said. “We shouldn’t demand that foreign skilled workers know German for every job. But rather ensure that the employees of the foreigners’ office know English.”
Another factor that may be overlooked in the debate is the role of technological change, with Goldman Sachs estimating that over the coming years that 300 million jobs will be lost in North America and Europe due to artificial intelligence. Economists believe that fast food restaurants, factories, and many white-collar professions will see rapid transformation in the coming years, with AI and robotics already being implemented in a variety of fields.
If such a scenario comes to pass, many of the migrants arriving in Western countries may soon find themselves competing for scarce jobs with citizens.
Education and Germany’s workforce
The German economist also focuses on the state of education to explain away Germany’s current problems. To address the shortage of skilled workers, Germany also needs to invest more in children, Schnitzer demanded, criticizing that it is “an indictment that one in four fourth-graders cannot read properly.”
As Remix News previously reported, much of the chaos in the German school system has to do with its exploding foreign population, with 38 percent of schoolchildren now having a foreign background.
In a new interview with one of Germany’s top newspapers, principal Norma Grube, who runs two schools in Chemnitz, describes increasingly chaotic conditions where many children have difficulty speaking German, assaults are commonplace, and parent-teacher meetings routinely require interpreters. In fact, there is little Grube tells Die Welt that backs the claims by pro-migration advocates that increasing diversity will bring a brighter future to Germany.
“Twenty-three different nations meet in the schoolyard, some of whom cannot understand each other at all and who sometimes come from hostile regions, such as Russia and Ukraine. We need a lot of parent-teacher talks, which mostly take place with interpreters. And that brings us to one of the reasons why the teaching profession has become less and less attractive: The psychological stress is enormous and it has increased significantly,” said Grube.
She also noted that as a principal, her new school has severe difficulties due to mass immigration, stating: “My new school is not easy. There is a good social structure in the Ore Mountains, and many teachers have taught their students’ parents. There is good social control and many stable parental homes. In Chemnitz, the student body is significantly more heterogeneous. Around half of the children are not of German origin, which does something to a school.”
In some cases, there is not a single ethnic German left in any classes.
“There were classes at my school in which not a single child of German origin sat,” said Berlin Education Minister Katharina Günther-Wünsch (CDU). Nevertheless, her solution is now to bring in foreign instructors and not necessarily focus on German as the language of instruction.
Schnitzer also put forward a number of other recommendations, including companies working to keep older employees happy so that they do not retire early.
The Federal Republic as a whole is not making as much progress “as we could and should,” she explained. Among other things, it has not invested in infrastructure, is lagging far behind in digitization and has started too late with climate protection.
The Mayor of a city in Cyprus expressed concern about gathering many foreign Muslims, mostly Pakistanis, in his city.
With a post on Facebook, Paphos Mayor Phedon Phedonos called on the government to think and take measures, presenting a video of a march of young Muslims who shout slogans while holding the Qu’ran in their hands.
The event was held as a sign of condemnation of the incident in Sweden with the burning of the holy book of Muslims
Η πορεία νεαρών μουσουλμάνων σήμερα στην τουριστική περιοχή της Παφου με το κοράνι στο χέρι με εμφανή τον θρησκευτικό φανατισμό πρέπει να προβληματίσει την κυβέρνηση και το Κράτος μας και γενικά όλους για τις ενεργείς που πρέπει άμεσα να γίνουν. Τα λάθη και τις παραλήψεις η ιστορία δεν τις συγχωρεί.
“The march of young Muslims today in the tourist area of Paphos with the Qu’ran in hand with obvious religious fanaticism should concern the government and our State and, in general, everyone for the actions that must be taken immediately. History does not forgive mistakes and omissions,” he wrote on Facebook.
Vienna’s Ottakring district, Peter Gugerell, PD-self
In the knife murder of the mother (28) of three in Vienna’s Ottakring district, evidence is mounting that she had to die because she wanted to separate from her long-term partner (35). A final discussion resulted in the bloody crime and the perpetrator’s suicide attempt.
The murder victim from the heavily contested region of Qamishli in north-eastern Syria had been living in Austria with her children (3,6,10) for more than two years. According to investigations so far, the father first arrived in Austria a month ago and had been staying in Vienna for the past weeks. It is not yet clear whether he came specifically because his partner wanted to separate from him or whether he possibly only found out after his arrival.
The two are said to have arranged a meeting on Monday. The mother asked a relative to take the three children for a walk. She did so. During the tragedy at Brunnenmarkt, the girl (3) and the two boys (6, 10) were in the care of an aunt in a nearby park.
During these minutes, the situation in the flat of the mother of three came to a dramatic head. It was said to be about a planned separation. The Syrian could not understand that the young woman did not want to return to her old life with its traditional values. Suddenly, the Syrian grabbed a knife and stabbed his victim several times. In her death throes, the young woman is said to have called her parents desperately and pleaded for help: “Come quickly, he has a knife.”
But all rescue came too late, the young Syrian woman bled to death. In his hopeless situation, the perpetrator apparently saw no other way out than to commit suicide. He jumped down from the third floor and was discovered by passers-by. He is in intensive care suffering from life-threatening injuries.
Vincent Bolloré (center) has come under attack from the French government and NGOs backed by George Soros after Bolloré purchased a left-wing media outlet and replaced its editor with Geoffroy Lejeune (left).
An ongoing battle in France around who should lead a popular weekly newspaper, the Journal du Dimanche (Sunday Newspaper), or JDD, is a perfect illustration of what Frenchman Claude Chollet, from the Observatoire du Journalisme media watchdog, recently said on Remix News: That it is generally assumed in the French mainstream media there should be no room for right-wing conservative opinions as they are automatically dubbed “far right,” “xenophobic,” “racist,” “reactionary,” or even “fascist.”
That battle does not make the headlines like the destructive rioting and looting that have plunged France into a week of chaos already, but it is no less important. Indeed, the worse the situation gets, the more there is a need to enforce and consolidate what the French call “la Pensée unique,” or in other words, the one and only way of thinking that is allowed in the French mainstream media.
Chollet explained in our June 19 interview how the managing editor of France’s only mainstream right-wing conservative weekly newspaper, Valeurs Actuelles, was fired by the paper’s Franco-Lebanese owner who feared for his business dealings in the French public sector. Chollet also described France’s oligarchic system of media ownership and how one of the oligarchs, Vincent Bolloré, stands out from the ranks by allowing for different opinions to be voiced on the television channels he owns, including those right-wing conservative opinions that are mostly banned in other mainstream media outlets.
As reported in Remix News, the presence of conservative right-wing voices on Bolloré’s CNews and C8 TV channels even caused Macron’s government, through his culture minister (also a Franco-Lebanese), to threaten that the two channels could soon lose their broadcast licenses.
The world of French journalism united against a mainstream media outlet’s possible shift to the right
However, as was also mentioned by Chollet, Bolloré has successfully taken over the Lagardère group, which owned, among other assets, the JDD and Paris Match weeklies as well as one of France´s main private radio stations, Europe 1. And Bolloré has decided he would hire Geoffroy Lejeune, who had been quite successful at Valeurs Actuelles before he was fired because of the paper being too aggressively right-wing and critical of Macron. So Lejeune is now the new managing editor at JDD, which was up to now a typical left-leaning, mainstream French newspaper.
Unsurprisingly, Bolloré’s move has caused uproar in the French political and media world. Dozens of JDD journalists have gone on strike; journalists’ associations of other newspapers ranging from center-right Le Figaro to communist L’Humanité have expressed their support for that strike; an open letter signed by known people from the world of journalism, politics, and culture has been published by the left-wing daily newspaper Le Monde. In addition, the left-wing, Soros-backed NGO Reporters without Borders — so keen on defending media pluralism in Hungary and Poland — has organized an event to protest against Bolloré’s move, and the same culture minister who threatened CNews and C8 last February has now issued thinly veiled threats toward the JDD if it is to become like Valeurs Actuelles was under Geoffroy Lejeune. And by the way, one of Valeurs Actuelles’ best known journalists, Charlotte d’Ornellas, has now left and a few others have been fired in the wake of their former managing editor.
Brussels only condemns the lack of left-wing domination in the media, not the lack of media pluralism
The minister’s intervention, in particular, is quite an astonishing situation, although not as astonishing as Brussels’s passivity in the face of France’s assumed lack of media pluralism when one remembers all the fuss that has been made in recent years about the alleged lack of media pluralism in Hungary or Poland, although the truth is both countries enjoy much greater pluralism than France. All this turmoil about one weekly newspaper risking shifting to the right and becoming too critical of Emmanuel Macron’s woke policies reveals that the establishment will increasingly brook no dissent.
“My Sunday ritual was to wake up to the JDD. Today it isn’t published. I understand the concerns of its editors. In law, the JDD can be whatever it wants to be, as long as it respects the law. But when it comes to our republican values, how can we not be alarmed?” tweeted Culture Minister Rima Abdul-Malak on June 25.
The fact is that, in France, the liberal left calls its own left-wing, often radical beliefs, “republican values,” pretty much the same way the left calls them “European values” at the EU level. For sure, Geoffroy Lejeune, as well as Valeurs Actuelles under his watch, do not comply with the left’s “republican values,” i.e., with the framework of opinions that the French political and media mainstream find acceptable. This excludes of course opinions that are critical of such things as mass immigration, EU integration, and the struggle against climate change, to cite but a few examples.
Both the center-right (Les Républicains, LR) and Marine Le Pen’s National Rally (RN) have criticized such interference from the government in the private media.
“The whole press can’t be Macronist… This proves, once again, that we’re dealing with an activist rather than a minister,” RN MP Caroline Parmentier said on June 27 during questions to Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne, noting that the culture minister had already threatened private TV channels and had publically criticized in the past journalists whom she does not like.
“Madam Prime Minister, is it your government’s policy to trample on the independence and pluralism of the media on the pretext that they annoy the government in power? (…) When are you going to put an end to this series of democratically unacceptable pressures, and when are you going to respect political plurality and opposition?” further asked MP Parmentier.
“What surprised me the most in all this was the outburst from the culture minister, who said she was worried about the values of the Republic,” said Olivier Marleix, the leader of the LR group in the National Assembly, noting that “she was much less worried when the president of the republic got five to six pages of interview from Geoffroy Lejeune in Valeurs Actuelles.”
Reporter Without Borders’ hypocrisy and leftist bias exposed
In what may amuse some readers, it appears that for the sake of press independence and freedom of the press, the Soros-Backed French NGO Reporters Without Border (RSF) will protest against each conservative takeover of a left-wing media outlet, but never the other way around. So RSF vehemently protested, for example, against the conservative takeover of HírTV in Hungary five years ago, when that television channel was wrongly described by RSF as “One of Hungary’s last critical media outlets”. But then, when in RSF’s home country a weekly newspaper risks becoming France’s only press outlet critical of Macron on the issues that really matter, like immigration, law and order, the rule of law, France’s sovereignty in the EU, and the Green Deal, RSF is vehemently against that move as well.
Every year, RSF publishes a Press Freedom Index. In its 2023 edition, France is ranked 24th, whereas Poland comes only 57th and Hungary 72nd.
In France, however, RSF was itself the organizer of a big gathering on June 27 in Paris to express “solidarity with the strike of the JDD’s editorial team.”
The RSF chairman, Christophe Deloire, thanked the participants in person for having shown up. And although those participants’ political affiliations or sympathies all ranged from the center to the far left, Deloire ensured that “Freedom of the press is not a right-wing, left-wing or centrist issue.”
Among the participants, former JDD Managing Director Hervé Gattegno is known for his principled refusal to publish any interview with Marine Le Pen during all his tenure at JDD, an attitude opposite to that of supposedly “far right” Geoffroy Lejeune who, as head of Valeurs Actuelles, allowed for the publication of a lengthy interview with Emmanuel Macron as well other interviews with figures from the French left.
“Doesn’t it bother you that other billionaires own major media outlets?” Chollet’s Observatoire du Journalisme asked the founder of a left-wing website, Arrêts sur Images, at the meeting organized by RSF. His answer was, as reported by this French media watchdog: “It’s different, they don’t intervene in the newsrooms. They let the newsrooms be run by managing editors who think the right way, who think well.”
A biological male who was convicted of raping two women has complained about allegedly suffering transphobic abuse after being sent to a male prison.
Adam Graham, who began identifying as a female named Isla Bryson after being charged with raping two women, has sent letters to the British media complaining about alleged transphobia within His Majesty’s Prison Edinburgh, which he was sent to after initially being placed in a female prison.
Speaking to the Mail on Sunday for a fee of £1,000, the 31-year-old rapist said: “I’m not doing too good because of abuse from the staff members all because I am transgender and other prisoners too.
“This jail is full of transphobic people. The police are involved because of the abuse to do with my gender. People won’t stop being transphobic.”
The account was seemingly backed up by Police Scotland, which confirmed that a 24-year-old man has been charged with threatening and abusive behaviour after a hate crime report was filed in June.
Allegedly Transgender ‘Isla Bryson’ Sentenced to Eight Years in Prison For Raping Two Womenhttps://t.co/FFnLX5CrRF
The comments from the allegedly transgender prisoner, who was convicted of raping two women in 2016 and 2019, come amid continued debate surrounding the placement of transgender prisoners.
Following the initial controversy surrounding Graham’s placement in the Cornton Vale women’s prison, which was permitted under a gender self-identify law passed under former Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon.
The controversy around the case was credited with being a contributing factor towards the downfall of Sturgeon, who failed on multiple occasions whenasked to be able to say whether the convicted rapist was a man or a woman.
The Scottish self-id law was ultimately blocked by the UK government in Westminster and the Scottish Prison System (SPS) rewrote its guidance to require prisoners to be segregated by their biological sex, no matter if they identify otherwise.
Sturgeon’s successor, far-left Humza Yousaf has previously expressed doubt about whether Graham (Bryson) is actually a “true trans woman”. Yet, Yousaf has reportedly backed a legal challenge against Westminster to reinstate the policy of self-id, which would allow anyone over 16 — including rapists — to self-identify as the gender of their choosing without the need for medical evidence.
Decolonization is for gringos. People who are proud of their heritage and culture don’t put up with it.
At a conference on the Spanish language held in March, Buenos Aires-born journalist Martín Caparrós proposed renaming the language “Ñamericano” to remove its colonial origins.
However, the director of the 46-member Spanish Royal Academy, Santiago Muñoz Machado, was asked Monday to consider the writer’s proposal. He flatly rejected the idea.
“It’s a witticism, which is fine as a witticism,” Muñoz Machado told Spanish news agency EFE.
The Spanish Royal Academy frequently finds itself embroiled in debates about “inclusive” Spanish, which might mean addressing a group of men and women with the feminine “todas” instead of the male “todos” to mean “everyone.”
Last year, Muñoz Machado dismissed as a “political manifestation” an emerging trend to make the language gender-neutral — for instance, replacing “niño” (boy) and niña (girl) with “niñe” (child).
“It is not part of the grammar, it is not orthodox, and probably in many places it will not be understood,” he told Chilean media. “It is an expression with no practical reality.”
Don’t ask him about ‘Latinx’.
The Left is obsessed with destroying the past, but only people who have lost their sense of the past and their self-esteem are willing to go along with that. Even while leftists treat Latinos as an oppressed minority, they’re a regional majority and have little interest in adopting lefty newspeak. And why should they?
Latinos are not ashamed of colonizing the continent. We’re ashamed because we’ve lost our sense of self.
