Louis Sarkozy porte-t-il sur l'avant-bras l'emblème du parti fasciste italien de Benito Mussolini ? La question taraude les internautes ces dernier jours. Cécile Alduy, professeure de littérature et de civilisation française à l’université Stanford, répond par l'affirmative. "Louis Sarkozy a donc sur l’avant-bras l’emblème des fascistes italiens de Mussolini: le faisceau des licteurs romains avec la hache. Et ça n’émeut personne. Adoubé aujourd’hui par Renaissance pour les municipales à Menton", dénonce-t-elle dans un post publié sur X (anciennement Twitter). Une photo accompagnant le message montre le tatouage de la discorde. On y distingue clairement le faisceau des licteurs, objet symbolique de l'histoire politique depuis l'Antiquité. Louis Sarkozy : son tatouage est-il vraiment fasciste ?

Crisis in agriculture: A strike action by the Confederation paysanne at a large shopping mall Farming militants conducted a peaceful protest on Saturday afternoon in Le Méridien shopping centre's gallery 'to inform consumers'. The image is worth seeing for the day when an agreement was signed with the Mercosur. Farming activists from the Confederation paysanne are holding a strike action on a Saturday afternoon at Le Méridian shopping center, which is a temple of consumption par excellence. Peasants 'alternatives' against large-scale distribution? The organization's activists seem not to want to play on the opposition. Rather, they expressed a desire to discuss and persuade consumers to buy locally. The protest was purely peaceful and also involved tasting products from the farm such as sausages, cheese, etc. "Consumers have real power to change things", argues Thomas Guérin, spokesperson for Confederation paysanne 65, also promoting "food security" that can prevent "dual-track feeding". The Confederation paysanne strongly denounces the free trade agreement signed on Saturday with the countries of Mercosur (South American states), but more generally it denounces "the commodification of food". The activists from Confederation paysanne insist on not competing against "local farmers and foreign ones", Thomas Guérin laments that the big losers in the Mercosur agreement are 'health, natural environments, biodiversity' in addition to "peasant well-being". Agriculture: two different weights Two scales? With the FNSEA (National Federation of Farmers), Confederation paysanne is opposed to a free trade agreement with South American countries. The organization favors "food sovereignty" in order to be less dependent on imports and draws lessons from the dermatosis nodularis contagiosa crisis 'to relocalize meat production' through, for example, the project of taking over Bagnères slaughterhouse. The Confederation paysanne also opposes 'systematic mass slaughtering', which it sees as being imposed by the state. Vaccination appears to be a success in Haute-Pyrénées. Agriculture: two scales? The Confederation paysanne is not treated on equal footing with FNSEA by the state. They see "two weights, two measures" between the treatment of their 52 activists (three national spokespersons among them) who are being held in custody and the FNSEA, which 'is parading in Paris and is moving 300 tractors outside the National Assembly', according to Thomas Guérin. The Confederation paysanne has been co-governing for sixty years with the state. This has benefited a small minority. This article is reserved for subscribers
