In the latest episode of #WTFrance, we look at a few new contenders for the prime minister position and I really hope Macron makes up his mind soon because it’s making the podcast a bit repetitive. Listen here: https://wtfrance.podbean.com/e/macron-the-micromanaging-statesman-august-10-2024/

As the world mourns the passing of Marjane Satrapi, I cannot help but reflect on her declining of the French Legion of Honor last year, calling out the hypocrisy of accepting such an award from a government that systematically fails the very Iranian refugees they claim to honor.
Her action stands out even more today, just weeks after France announced a nearly billion euro surge to further militarize Channel border security, a harsh crackdown on the exact routes desperately used by migrants fleeing the Khamenei regime.
Satrapi stood as a beacon of solidarity to those fleeing oppression, and the world is duller today without her in it.
