Featured investigation

Paris Protest Networks · Mobilisation, Funding & Foreign Amplification

Who is mobilising, funding and amplifying France’s October 2026 protest wave—and what is actually proven?

Tests four different propositions separately: participation in demonstrations, organisational mobilisation, historical funding relationships, and deliberate coordination or foreign interference. Presence in the same protest ecosystem is not treated as proof of common command.

Rule 01

Show the receipts

Public cards preserve their source links and provenance. Private files and analyst notes never enter the public snapshot.

Rule 02

Separate claim from evidence

A board can show uncertainty, contradictions, and evidence gaps without turning them into settled conclusions.

Rule 03

Revise on the record

New evidence creates a new numbered revision. Earlier public revisions remain part of the board history.
