The problem with your picture is that you're calling the junta a sovereign and independent government doing things by the book. They're army personel that took power from the elected government at gunpoint.
It might be so that France will have to accept the new dictatorship one day, but historically more than one such coup has failed days or weeks after.

Trump’s alleged ‘sexual proclivities’ graphically detailed in new Epstein documents

Every article and, dare I say, even Lemmy post has been dancing around it. I guess in order not to add fuel to the fire? Or to avoid being the first to throw the proverbial stone. Or preventing a major stinker by not waiting for official confirmation.
