Yet... before these fine statements from the French government:

  • France: The State admits to having wrongfully expelled a 22-year-old Ivorian woman
  • "I still can't get over what they did to me." - a man deported to Ivory Coast despite his dual French-Ivorian nationality

Decree of April 16, 2025, dissolving a de facto group...

This concerns the association "Sciences & Education" and it's an official series to read.

News from the "Sciences & Education: The Ministry of Justice employed a Mauritanian Islamist as a consultant. The Ministry of Justice cannot fully guarantee that E.H. did not have access to sensitive information while working as a contractor for the weekly newspaper (sic). All of this demonstrates a certain amateurism on the part of the Government... this is nothing new.

Second episode of the official series...

Decree of April 16, 2025, dissolving an association

In this episode, the association "Israel United In Christ" is incriminated. "...that it relays the theories of the American IUIC, of ​​which it constitutes the French branch, by taking advantage of them and assuming them; that it promotes a message that Black, Hispanic, and Native American populations are the "true Israelites," ostracizing other populations as "enemies"... "

"Israel United in Christ" - A demonstration planned by the association was banned by the prefecture. cellpadding="10">

Order of April 16, 2025 amending the Order of April 21, 2023 experimenting with a yellow pedestrian clearance time phase at pedestrian traffic lights.

Order of April 21, 2023 experimenting with a yellow phase of pedestrian clearance time at pedestrian traffic lights.

  • Versailles is withdrawing, while the others are seeking a two-year extension (Metz, Nancy, Nantes, Nice, Strasbourg, and Toulouse).
  • Among our German neighbors, no yellow traffic light for pedestrians, except in Düsseldorf, where it has been an experiment since 1953... "However, the researchers found no improvement in the so-called pedestrian yellow light compared to the previous red-green standard. Furthermore, high investment costs would be expected." (t-online.de - translated into French)

Traffic Lights

In Paris, to regulate traffic with traffic lights, you have to wait a little

Order of April 14, 2025 extending the commissioning deadline of an electricity production facility owned by the company Eoliennes Offshore du Calvados

"...relating to the authorization to operate an offshore wind farm with a production capacity of 450 MW, issued by decree of April 18, 2012, to the company Eolien Maritime France SAS, the transfer of which to the company Eoliennes Offshore du Calvados was authorized by the aforementioned decree of November 6, 2012, and which had been extended by decree of December 17, 2018, for three years until April 18, 2025, is extended for three additional years, until April 18, 2028.

This authorization automatically ceases to have effect if the installation covered by this decree is not fully commissioned by April 18, 2028.

The project - with, please, a group "History and Duty of Remembrance » We wonder what he's doing in this project. Naturally, he's driven by "the Calvados Offshore Wind Farm," a pure, unadulterated sales pitch that could easily be dispensed with. The "landing" sells well, and it's served up in every possible way; preparations for May 8th require... all the warmongers to reveal themselves in a rather confused, not to say explosive, international situation. "Each wind turbine in the "Calvados Offshore Wind Farm" will bear the name of a ship that participated in Operation Overlord during the D-Day landings and the Battle of Normandy."

A company with 0 employees, whose director is EDF Renouvelables France.

Why are the 200 wind turbine blades of the Calvados offshore wind farm piling up in Le Havre: "The Italian company responsible for installing the foundations, the monopile steel tubes, is having difficulty drilling into the seabed. For the moment, neither SAIPEM nor EDF have provided any information on this delay in the construction site..." (france3)

Will this project, which has been planned since 2012, ever come to fruition?
