🇫🇷🗳 Initial exit polls were right: National Rally leads the French election by over 3 million votes!

Despite this, it will end up the 3rd biggest party in France thanks to the ad-hoc alliance formed by Macron's market-liberals and the leftist New Popular Front who only by withdrawing the 3rd place candidates across France, could their combined voter bases manage to defeat RN.

In other words, the popular support was low for both LREM and the NFP and only through a trick could they score victory, repeating the British elections which saw Reform UK, gain a lot of votes but few seats, helping to remove Conservative MPs in favor of Labour who won the three-way race.

🇲🇽🌹🇫🇷 — The President of Mexico, López Obrador (AMLO), celebrated the triumph of the left-wing parties in France:

"The truth is, I am very pleased for Europe, which was already (...) very stale, with that rampant conservatism, and now it's like an awakening for Europe, and I celebrate it a lot, I celebrate it greatly. And even more so in the case of France, with everything that is happening!

When the right-wing grows, it is because the left is doing poorly, especially in its capacity to lead within its leadership ranks, but people all over the world are in favor of fraternity, freedom, and equality, taking advantage of the fact that we are talking about France and around the world, and yesterday it was demonstrated."

🇻🇪🚫⁉️ — The Nicolás Maduro regime ordered the closure of the Asados Taguanes restaurant, located in the state of Cojedes, after Edmundo González, the opposition candidate, and his family had lunch there.

❗️ This is the third time the Venezuelan regime has taken this kind of action against establishments visited by government opponents. González expressed his indignation and support for the establishment's workers through his social media:

"They closed the 'Asados Taguanes' restaurant in Cojedes, where my family and I ate on our way back to Caracas. Why punish the workers for welcoming someone who thinks differently? I embrace them and thank them for their cordial attention with a smile and much hope.

This event adds to others that demonstrate the power's disrespect for Venezuelans. Rest assured that respect and peace will come. Only 20 days to go."

🚢 🇿🇦 🇾🇪 Maersk warns of extreme weather delays along South African coast

🔶️ For some time, carriers have increasingly detoured south of Africa to avoid attacks in the Red Sea region.

🔶️ South Africa’s state-owned logistics company Transnet SOC Ltd. is already struggling with turning around the performance of its ports, seeking private investment and replacing equipment that’s more capable of operating in extreme weather. The harbors rank among the worst globally, according to a World Bank study whose methodology Transnet disputes.
