French President Macron Rewards Terrorism, Whips Up Slaughter

July 24,2025: French President Emmanuel Macron announces that he will officially recognize a “Palestinian State.” He publicizes a letter he sent to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, and praises his “courageous commitments”. In it, Macron emphasizes his desire to “fulfill the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people” and that “We must immediately implement a ceasefire, release all hostages and provide massive humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza,”⁠ Macron reportedly announced. He did not, however make recognizing a fictitious Palestinian state conditioned on any of that.

Peace is possible,” he added, along with the notion that “Building a Palestinian state and ensuring its viability would ‘contribute to the security of all in the Middle East.”‘

The awful spectacle of la belle France dissolving makes me fear for Britain

What has happened to my beloved France, the country where I spent my childhood summers, studied and worked in my 20s? Once the embodiment of European confidence and cultural supremacy, the land of Voltaire, Bastiat and de Tocqueville is now trapped in an accelerating spiral of decline.

British tourists – some nine million a year – might experience la France profonde, the warm baguettes, contented cows, the exquisite parking. But beneath the idyll lies the reality of a country at war with itself, its government fighting crises on economic, political and social fronts.

Traditional Village Festivals: Another ‘Conspiracy by the Far Right’

A few months ago, an association was set up with the aim of supporting and certifying traditional festivals in French villages. The Left, which identified that the organisation had received support from Catholic billionaire Pierre-Edouard Stérin, launched a smear campaign against the project, claiming that it was a militant offensive by the far Right. Under pressure from the media, the festivals that had been awarded the label were asked to withdraw.

The spark: the drastic cuts announced by Prime Minister François Bayrou, which include a €43.8 billion adjustment, the freezing of social spending, the elimination of two public holidays, and other austerity measures that have lit the fuse of public discontent, primed for years.

French Prefect Warns Rampant Migrant Crime Plagues Rhône Cities

Algerian illegal immigrants commit crimes knowing that the failing system will let them go virtually unpunished.

Fabienne Buccio, the prefect of France’s Rhône department, has fired warning shots about escalating crime rates tied to Algerian nationals in her region while expressing deep frustration over Algier’s persistent refusal to accept deportees. Her assessment reveals a growing crisis where offenders operate with what she describes as a “feeling of impunity,” knowing deportation efforts will likely fail.

Speaking in an interview making waves across French media, Buccio revealed alarming statistics: foreign-born individuals account for a staggering 60% of arrests in the Rhône department, which includes Lyon, France’s third-largest city. Even more striking is the fact that at least half of these arrestees are Algerian nationals.

Nîmes Becomes Latest French City to Introduce “Youth Curfew” to Curb Migrant Violence

Police remain skeptical: “Young offenders are shooting people with impunity, in broad daylight. A curfew is certainly not going to stop them.”

The southern French city of Nîmes, home to over 150,000 people, has decided to implement a nightly curfew for minors under the age of 16 as a desperate attempt to curb the spread of gang violence largely linked to drug trafficking in the city’s migrant-heavy neighborhoods.

The curfew runs between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m., and came into effect on the night of Monday, July 21st, for an initial two-week period that can be renewed every 15 days.

According to local authorities, the radical measure is needed because of “a succession of shootings, score-settling, and gang tensions” that have been gripping the city for the past weeks.

Limoges: France is losing control of its streets

Looks like civil war.

Masked rioters clash with police after attacking motorists in French city of Limoges

Officials in Limoges on Saturday said nine officers were injured in overnight clashes with masked assailants wielding metal bars and Molotov cocktails who attacked motorists on one of the main roads into the central city. France’s interior ministry said it was deploying a riot police unit to support local law enforcement.

… Mayor Emile Roger Lombertie called the rioters an “urban guerrilla group”.

“They’re organised, structured, there’s a plan, weapons,” he said.

“This was not a spontaneous protest to complain about something. No pretext, nothing. It’s about destroying things and showing the territory belongs to you,” Lombertie added.

All Palestinians in Gaza Are Eligible for Asylum in France, Court Rules

All for naught.

All Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip will be eligible for the first time to apply for asylum in France, a court ruled on Friday.

Deciding on a case brought by a Palestinian mother seeking asylum in the wake of the Islamist Hamas October 7th terror attacks on Israel, France’s National Court of Asylum (CNDA) ruled in her favour given the “war methods” of the Israeli Defence Forces in Gaza, which the court found were “serious enough to be regarded as methods of persecution.”

Marseilles drug police scandal has echoes of ‘French Connection’ era

Five officers are implicated after €10m of cocaine went unaccounted for during a sting on ‘Mimo’, one Europe’s biggest narco-traffickers

When the container ship OPS Hamburg docked in Marseilles on a morning in April 2023, officers from France’s elite anti-drug force were lying in wait. They were sure their cunning sting would net one of Europe’s biggest narco-traffickers.

The US Drug Enforcement Administration had told them that buried in a container of bananas arriving from Cartagena, Colombia, there was a massive shipment of cocaine. It had been ordered by Mohamed Djeha, alias Mimo, the feared boss of Marseilles’ Castellane clan.
