Raphaël Arnault recalled that a few years ago, he and others were frightened by the way authoritarian states treated young people and social movements. He believed that those in power, by only responding with violence and humiliation, were tipping France over. #France #Jeunesse #MouvementsSociaux (translated)
Raphaël Arnault questioned the existence of a special criminal procedure for the deputies of La France Insoumise and referred to a statement from his lawyer, presented as providing clarifications on the information regarding him that has been circulating for the past 24 hours. #LFI #Justice #Démocratie (translated)
Raphaël Arnault estimated that nearly 99% of the government's responses in the Assembly this afternoon were about the police, damage, the army, and looting. He criticized it for not addressing the young people's demands regarding the cost of living and wages, and for favoring a violent response instead of accounting for what he called a "carnage." #JusticeSociale #Révolte #CriseSociétale (translated)
Raphaël Arnault believed that the authoritarian drift not only undermined democracy in the present but also prepared the ground for those who would seek to destroy it in the future. #Démocratie #Autoritarisme #Libertés (translated)
Raphaël Arnault asked how to qualify a government that, in his view, seeks to falsify information through state services in order to politically eliminate the opposition. He described the authoritarian turn as dizzying and accused the Macronists of laying the groundwork for it, which fascists could then benefit from. #Politique #Autoritarisme #LibertésPubliques (translated)
Raphaël Arnault wrote that the President of the Republic had remained silent while high school students had been making demands for weeks.

Raphaël Arnault stated that Aix resonated antifascist despite the threats from the far right and what he described as a desire from the prefecture to silence dissenting voices. He indicated that the prefecture attempted to justify the ban by mentioning the far right's intention to defend its territory in Aix-en-Provence. https://t.co/E48676LNFL #Antifa #AixEnProvence #LutteContreLExtremeDroite (translated)
Raphaël Arnault responded that, in his opinion, the racist headlines of Valeurs Actuelles, which depicted Danièle Obono with chains, explained why writing for the magazine could disqualify him. He also criticized the composition of some television panels, which he compared to an atmosphere of 1939-1945, before pointing out that their participants then played the surprised. #ValeursActuelles #Racisme #LibertéDexpression (translated)
Raphaël Arnault estimated that the image illustrated the government's response to the movement. He wrote that young people sitting peacefully, despite demands he considered very clear, had been gassed. #GuerreCivile #Liberté #Protestations (translated)

Raphaël Arnault called for taking high school students seriously. He stated that Emmanuel Macron and the government had never announced a decrease in fuel prices and believed they were concerned after two weeks of blockades, while unions announced their participation in the movement. #Lycéens #Macron #Grève (translated)
A political strategy as mediocre as it is contemptuous towards the youth: • No answers provided to the problems of high school students • High school students did not wait for the support of the FI to mobilize #Politique #Jeunesse #Mobilisation (translated)
*Yesterday, the government called for calm *today, the same government: https://t.co/tRZAhsWBSE https://t.co/tRZAhsWBSE #Gouvernement #Calme #Actualité (translated)
And at the same time, they announce that they will make students pay for their enrollment in BTS and preparatory classes, freeze housing assistance, freeze the activity bonus… They are the CRISIS! #Crise #Étudiants #Politique (translated)
A group of fascists is attacking the students who are mobilizing in front of their university in Paris Fortunately, they eventually dispersed thanks to the large mobilization Caution ⚠️ not to remain isolated https://t.co/LZIawQXVbb #Solidarité #Mobilisation #Lutte (translated)
"Don't arrest them guys" a kick to the head while this young man has just been pinned to the ground... and the other policeman hitting him with a baton out of frustration because they clearly have no reason to arrest him. What a shame. #ViolencePolicière #DroitsHumains #Manifestation (translated)
Tomorrow's mobilization is set to be huge with even more high school blockades, but also many universities now calling to support and join. Other dates have already been set, the movement is only going to grow: they are doomed, the youth are in the streets. #Lycées #Mobilisation #Jeunesse (translated)
