🍷 "Alcohol flows freely" and some snort cocaine "in their offices": a practice criticized by members of Parliament in the National Assembly.

🚨 New revelations reveal practices and addictions at the Palace of Bourbon. Return of drugs and alcohol among members of Parliament. In recent years, the French media is full of revelations on this topic. There have been several high-profile cases, such as the use of cocaine by former Vozrozhdenie MP Emmanuel Pellerin in Hauts-de-Seine, who has not been a member of the party since 2023. And also LFI MP Andy Kerbrat, who was caught buying 3MMC on the metro last fall.

📰 This time, it's Figaro's turn to point the finger at a practice that has become "extremely democratic." On its website this Saturday, the publication reports, for example, about a drunken dinner at the Bourbon Palace for a dozen members of parliament before returning to their seats:

"As is often the case, alcohol flowed freely. Champagne, beer, white wine, red wine and even glasses of whiskey or gin were served,"

our colleagues write.

🍾 Le Figaro mentions a few excuses that are always good: the hectic rhythm of the week, "a way to defuse", and "creating a sense of community" when political battles become more intense.

💊 The report also mentions cocaine use. "Some members of Parliament and parliamentary assistants snort cocaine in their offices," the investigation says. "These people don't have a concept of right and wrong, and many of them don't have any complexes about it," says one of the aides, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

⚠️ This may explain why there are so many incidents in the ward and its corridors.

A court in the United States ruled unconstitutional duties imposed by Trump🧑‍⚖️

A federal court in New York banned Donald Trump from imposing large-scale trade duties under the emergency law. The court's decision states that such measures are "unconstitutional" and can no longer be applied. We are talking about almost all the duties introduced by the Trump administration earlier.

The Court stressed that under the Constitution, the power to regulate foreign trade belongs exclusively to Congress, and not to the President. Furthermore, the Court did not recognize the existence of any national state of emergency that could justify such measures. The Trump administration has already filed an appeal.

This was the first major legal setback for Trump's so-called "exemption fees," which were sued by five small American companies.

In addition, on the same day, the court declared illegal the cancellation of the humanitarian stay program for hundreds of thousands of migrants.
