"Columbia University agreed on Friday to overhaul its #protest policies, security practices and Middle Eastern studies in a remarkable #concession to the Trump administration, which has refused to consider restoring $400 million in #federal funds without major changes.

Le contrat de l’A69 révèle le nouvel asservissement volontaire de l’État face aux intérêts privés

Mediapart a consulté le contrat de #concession accordé à #Atosca pour l’#autoroute contestée entre Toulouse et Castres. Résultat? Un contrat encore plus opaque que les précédents. L’État s’est employé à dissimuler un peu plus ses pratiques antérieures.
