Tout pouvoir redoute les rĂ©voltes de la jeunesse. â Interview pour Centre Presse
(October 9, 2026)
Je nâimagine pas cette campagne prĂ©sidentielle comme le simple Ă©noncĂ© dâun programme, mais surtout comme un choix des principes de vie en sociĂ©tĂ©. Cette mĂ©thode nous a dĂ©jĂ permis dâacquĂ©rir une capacitĂ© de rassemblement qui surprend les commentateurs. Dans les analyses fournies Ă propos de notre succĂšs, on parle de qui nous sommes, comment nous agissons, comment nous faisons campagne, nos capacitĂ©s techniques Ă faire campagne⊠Beaucoup voient bien que nous sommes toute une Ă©quipe, au contraire de tous nos concurrents. Mais ce nâest pas ça la leçon essentielle de nos succĂšs. Elle est ailleurs, dans la rĂ©ponse Ă la question : dans quel Ă©tat dâesprit est le peuple français. Que se passe-t-il dans la sociĂ©tĂ© dont nous sommes lâĂ©cho ? Aussi bien quand des jeunes acclament les dĂ©putĂ©s Insoumis qui viennent les voir dans leur facultĂ© ou leur lycĂ©e, ce qui est sans prĂ©cĂ©dent.

France‘s fed-up youth: Can presidential candidates connect with student movement?
Only one party has sided vocally with the students since the very start: Jean-Luc MĂ©lenchon‘s far-left France Unbowed.
We ask whether that will consolidate his second place in the polls ahead of next spring‘s presidential elections. That would qualify MĂ©lenchon for the May 2 run-off against the far right‘s Marine Le Pen.
‚Finish what we started‘: After student protests, France braces for return of the Yellow Vests
A map published on Thursday on the website 17octobregiletjaune.net listed more than 1,000 events planned around the country to denounce rising fuel prices and support high-school students who have been protesting for nearly a month to demand better classroom conditions.

Berlin: Merz warnt SPD und GrĂŒne vor LinksbĂŒndnis
Merz sagte, die moralischen MaĂstĂ€be in Deutschland gerieten âlangsam ins Rutschenâ. Die CDU werde sich damit nicht abfinden und auch das angehende BĂŒndnis von SPD und GrĂŒnen mit der Linken in Berlin infrage stellen.
In Richtung von SPD und GrĂŒnen fragte der Kanzler, ob sie âwirklich und ernsthaft mit einer solchen Partei weitere KoalitionsgesprĂ€che fĂŒhrenâ wollten. Wer die politische Mitte stĂ€rken und die Demokratie schĂŒtzen wolle, dĂŒrfe mit solchen âLinksradikalenâ keine GesprĂ€che fĂŒhren und schon gar keine Koalition eingehen, sagte Merz.
US-Blockade fĂŒhrt zu Amputationen
Die spanische Tochterfirma Telstar des Stuttgarter Syntegon-Konzerns unterwirft sich der US-Blockade und verweigert einem kubanischen Krankenhaus medizinische Ersatzteile. Das in Barcelona ansĂ€ssige Unternehmen lehnt unter Missachtung einer verbindlichen EU-Verordnung ab, eine Dichtung zur Reparatur seines wichtigen Gefriertrockners zu verkaufen. Der ist in der Gewebebank des Internationalen OrthopĂ€dischen Wissenschaftskomplexes »Frank PaĂs« installiert. Das gröĂte orthopĂ€dische Krankenhaus Kubas benötigt das GerĂ€t, um Amputationen zu verhindern und das Leben von Verbrennungsopfern zu retten.
U.S. military lays groundwork for potential action around Cuba
(Septemnber 26, 2026)
Washington â The U.S. Army Reserve is examining whether it can provide the military‘s Southern Command with police forces, medical personnel and other support units within the next four months, according to an internal Army message reviewed by CBS News.
Though the message makes no reference to Cuba, the request is for continued military planning aimed at Cuba, according to multiple U.S. officials who spoke to CBS News under condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.
Pentagon sends hundreds of Army troops to Latin America for training as drug-trafficking campaign expands
According to The Times, the troops will first deploy to a new jungle training facility in Panama before eventually training with local forces in Colombia and Honduras.
The troops could also support U.S. special operations personnel who are advising local militaries conducting raids against suspected drug traffickers, the outlet reported.
Separately, several hundred soldiers from the 10th Mountain Division are expected to help staff a new Western Hemisphere military command based in Miami.
Trumpâs MAGA Pals Push Sinister Martial Law Plot
Tina Peters, a prominent MAGA election activist, met with Trump in October. She was convicted in 2024 of crimes tied to a breach of election equipment, then freed this year after Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, a Democrat, commuted her sentence. Peters and her attorney, Peter Ticktin, also visited Trump at the White House in late June.
Ticktin, who is Trumpâs childhood friend, was among the speakers on a Sept. 30 video call for MAGA election activists streamed on Rumble. They warned of widespread election security breaches they believe will hit in November, and they urgently pushed for remedies.
The Supporters Urging Trump to Declare Martial Law for the Midterms
(September 23, 2026)
The way Ticktin sees it, there are three possible outcomes this fall. The firstâa smooth electionâwonât happen in his view because, he claims without evidence, Democrats already cheated in the primaries. The second is that Trump takes action before the election to prevent cheating. The last option is that Trump tries to declare martial law on or around November 3. âEither martial law, or step aside,â he told us about Trumpâs choices in the last scenario. When we asked about the prospect of riots if Trump tries to overturn the election results, Ticktin said he was not concerned. âBelieve me, our armed forces are a lot bigger than they are,â he said.
Fascists Attempt to Storm Joint List Election HQ in Tel Aviv
Fascists identified with the racist Otzma Yehudit party, broke into the Left Bank club in Central Tel Aviv last night (Thursday, October 15). The building also serves as the Joint List elections headquarters, and branch for Hadash and the Communist Party of Israel. The intrusion occurred during the premiere screening of the âMesarvotâ occupation army refusers networkâs film, âNot Refusing to Respond,â and led to physical clashes with activists.
A dozen fascists attempted to reach the floor where the headquarters operates. Police arrived only after the activists had been removed from the premises by activists. The Joint List strongly condemned the violent break-in at the campaignâs election headquarters in Tel Aviv. âThis marks a dangerous new peak in political violence within the country, representing a perilous escalation and a tangible threat to election integrity. The writing is on the wall, and we must not wait for the next incident to understand the severity of the situation and act decisively,â the statement read.
Gas Prices and the 2026 Midterms
(March 26, 2026)
Few economic indicators hit voters as fast or as visibly as the price of gasoline. Academic research stretching back decades confirms what political operatives have long understood intuitively: when gas prices rise sharply, presidential approval falls, and when approval falls heading into a midterm, the presidentâs party loses seats. That chain is being tested dramatically right now.
Gas Prices Could Cost Republicans the Midterms
(September 14, 2026)
If Democrats manage to take back the House and Senate in November despite an inhospitable electoral map, the Trump effect on gas prices may well be the reason.
Trumps Drohung: HĂ€nde hoch, Diesel her!
(October 1, 2026)
Alles nur, weil Trump seine Umfragewerte mit einem kurzen MilitĂ€r-Quickie im Iran pushen wollte. Das jedoch löste eine destruktive Kettenreaktion sondergleichen aus, wie ein Elefant, nein, eine Atombombe im Porzellanladen. Diese Ăra wird in ein paar Jahren zumindest gute Serien auf Netflix oder HBO erzeugen, und man wird sich fragen, wie zum Teufel ein Mensch wie Trump je an die Macht kommen konnte.

Trump Signs Order Exempting Russia From Sanctions Law
President Trump signed an executive order on Friday night exempting Russia from a new sanctions measure that Congress passed last month, offering another economic lifeline to Russian President Vladimir V. Putin as the United States turns to Russia for help in lowering gas prices.
Trump puts new Russia sanctions that he recently signed into law on hold, citing national interest
Trumpâs unexpected decision comes a week after he stunningly said the U.S. had agreed to purchase diesel from Russia to try to bring down global energy prices, despite that potentially hurting Ukraine in its war with Russia.
An AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll published Oct. 1 found that Americans disapprove of the presidentâs handling of the Iran war and blame him for higher prices.
