A reply :

We have to put a stop to their inexact and flawed arguments on the Covid measures

Our criticism of Budget measures !

Some of the Govt people, and the new chatwas, seem to be irritated by our criticism of some budget measures . There have been some accusations that many of us derive a “kick” from the clickbait of our social platform exerting a disproportionate and undeserved influence over shaping, or rather distorting, the national narrative.

Budget 2025-26: High on promises, low on reforms

 Published in l'express June 2025

It’s not a Budget for this fiscal year, for the short term; it’s rather a vision statement, without implementation plans, but with the promise of possible attainable goals not before 2035 at the earliest.
