Un texte sur fond sombre : Une enquête préliminaire a été ouverte par le Tribunal pénal canonique national (TPCN) en novembre 2025, à la demande de son ordre, pour recevoir et étudier plusieurs témoignages dénonçant du harcèlement, allant possiblement jusqu’au viol. Un signalement a également été effectué auprès du procureur de la République. Contacté par La Vie, Gaël Giraud conteste l’ensemble des faits. Comment en est-on arrivé là ?

The pretext is the @unibo.it's refusal to establish a program for army officers. U of B is being described as "the headquarters of a political party."

Oxford Word of the Year 2025 poster featuring the term 'rage bait' with an image of a fishing hook, set against a pink and white background.
Oxford Word of the Year poster featuring the term "rage bait." The text defines it as a noun, originating from a compound of the words 'rage' and 'bait,' described as "an attractive morsel of food, on the model of the already existing clickbait." The background is soft pink with abstract design elements.
CONFIRMED: Oxford University Press has named ‘rage bait’ as the Oxford Word of the Year 2025.
