          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

          Other countries don’t pretend to be bastions of freedom as if the rest of the world are primitive savages.

            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 is about his tweet in regards to Gaza. The moment he tweeted that, he randomly got accused of having ties to the MB. Mind you the MB isn’t even considered a terrorist organization by Europe. Only by the Saudi’s, UAE etc. You know the same place that is currently employing him.

      He has zero evidence of his claims as can be seen by his current tweet. Which he will probably retract soon enough as Benzema has said he is going to pursue legal actions against him.

      But the media in France has a hateboner against Benzema, that’s nothing new. Granted Benzema has had plenty of controversies, but still the way they treat him. Like this guy is the Minister of Interieur and he is spending his time making random accusations against Benzema.

    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.

        It has nothing to do with the ballon d’or or his football ability at all. Not sure why you think that

          I was responding to OP who brought up the BdO thing. My comment literally downplays the BdO thing.

          As for OP, they are most likely conflating it with the statements made by Valerie Boyer who said Benzema’s BdO should be stripped.

          Yeah , this is a very sweeping statement. Are you trying to say that people in the east ( Russia , China and the Arab gulf) have more freedom of speech?

          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.
