Less than three months before the presidential election, The New York Times has revealed the contents of an internal email from “a group closely aligned” with the Republican candidate, which shows that he was “privately studying the possibility of using troops to ‘stop riots’ by protesters.” The email was sent in early 2023 by a member of the Center for Renewing America, led by Russel Vought, former acting budget chief of the Trump Administration, and listed ten agenda items for the documents on the legal and political frameworks that the entity planned to prepare. The fourth point was listed as: “Insurrection – stop the riots.” (RT)

French party warns Macron that it could trigger impeachment proceedings
The La France Insoumise (LFI) party has warned President Emmanuel Macron that it will initiate impeachment proceedings on the grounds that he is ignoring the results of the recent legislative elections. In a statement published by La Tribune Dimanche, leaders of the left-wing organisation accused the president of carrying out “an institutional coup against democracy”. In keeping with the republican tradition, the left-wing party is demanding that Macron appoint a new prime minister from within his ranks, with the economist Lucie Castets as its nominee, but the head of state does not seem willing to meet the demand, amid pressure from his camp to lean towards the right.
