Offensive anti-science, crédits supprimés, valorisation de l’enseignement privé, ambition techno capitaliste, En France, c’est maintenant qu’il faut se battre et renouer avec la grande tradition du rationalisme engagé dans la cité.
According to an opinion piece published on March 13, 2025, French research and higher education are threatened by a "French-style Trumpism" characterized by anti-science sentiment, budget cuts, promotion of private education, and a techno-capitalist agenda. The authors argue that France must fight back and embrace rationalism. They cite examples from the US and Argentina, where leaders have attacked science and research, and warn that France is not immune to this reactionary movement.
