    Most pathetic attempt to save face, Benzema doesn’t do this and watch Darmanin retract anyway because he’s knows in a libel case he’s fucked

    It’s far-right politicians trying their best to « win » from this story and increase racism in France, because it’s from where they get their voters

      He’s not supposed to be far right tho, he’s from Macron’s party which is center or center-right

        Macron’s entire existence is basically defined by whatever Bernard Arnault wants for him. Arnault likes Darmanin, hates paying taxes, hates poor people and loves pedophiles.

        Macron’s party is a centrist “start up” that recruited from the right and left establishment.

        Darmanin was on the more “hard” part of the traditional right. There’s barely any space between him and the far right.

    This is getting ridiculous lol. Benzema is an Algerian Muslim, of course he is going to support Palestine but what does it have to do with his achievements on the field? He had an amazing season and deserved that ballon d’Or whether he supports Palestine or Israel.

      The Ballon d’Or thing is insignificant. Accusing Benzema of having connections with Muslim Brotherhood is a much more serious accusation. And to say that he’ll withdraw the accusation if he tweets xyz thing I want just shows you the current situation in France. It is despicable from this guy. That he is a minister just makes the situation even more ridiculous.

          in the west

          As opposed to? Please just one example, so we can all have a good laugh.

          Also TIL the actions of one western country reflect on all like 70 of them.

          r/soccer out here every day breaking records for the most bias you can insert into the least amount of words.

            The most worrying collapse for India is in the Security indicator category, where India’s rank is 172. This means, only eight countries rank worse than India out of 180 on this parameter. So India is worse than all in terms of ensuring security of journalists in the world, other than China, Mexico, Iran, Pakistan, Syria, Yemen, Ukraine and Myanmar, in that order. Myanmar is at the bottom.

            The security indicator “evaluates the ability to identify, gather and disseminate news and information in accordance with journalistic methods and ethics, without unnecessary risk of bodily harm, psychological or emotional distress, or professional harm resulting from, for example, loss of one’s job, confiscation of professional equipment, or ransacking of media installations.”

            Neat

          It’s pedantic but there are a fair few stable and free democracies around the world as 'free as France. Namibia, South Korea, Japan, East Timor, etc.

          Just wanted to point out while definitely far more common in the West, its not the only place you can find democracy and press freedom
