Elsa Marcel contested Bally's statements and claimed that he received nearly 6,000 euros gross as mayor, more than 2,000 euros as president of Plaine Commune, and nearly 800 euros for representation expenses, totaling 9,000 euros per month. She reminded that he had announced during a campaign meeting that he wanted to reduce his allowances, before, according to her, returning to the same level as Hanotin, who had significantly increased them during his term and had been criticized for it. Marcel stated that the debate was about political choices rather than figures. She said that from the beginning, she has defended, in the municipal council, elected officials who can be recalled and who are paid at the wage of a skilled worker. She also criticized the limitations of Bally's institutional perspective, which, according to her, led him to adapt to existing practices, particularly regarding the allowances of elected officials and the LBD. #Politique #Élus #Transparence (translated)

Gabriel Lattanzio estimated that the sequence marked the definitive break between La France insoumise (LFI) and workers. He contrasted those who had lost their livelihoods and often suffered from violence with the speakers chosen by the movement: elected officials many of whom, according to him, had no other experience than politics, inexperienced students, internet users making comments he deemed absurd, and intellectual figures from LFI who, he wrote, defended violence and glorified Luigi Mangione. Lattanzio also criticized the campaign conducted before the sequence regarding high school students, which he described as a promotion of alternative lifestyles accompanied by tax benefits for friendship. He claimed that LFI was remote from the reality of the French people and even more so from that of workers, adding that striking was no longer central to its discourse, replaced by different forms of obstruction. According to him, the worker had become an image of "social tourism," embodied by academics in work overalls. #LFI #Travail #Politique (translated)

The marches organized by elected officials in several cities to gather in front of city halls (we are indeed talking about buildings, yes) originated from the AMF, led by the mayor of Cannes, David Lisnard, a supporter of the far-right Argentine president Milei.

Bally Bagayoko expressed the solidarity of the City of Saint-Denis – Pierrefitte-sur-Seine with the municipalities affected by violence and damage, notably Limoges, Marseille, Lille, Bordeaux, Calais, and Grenoble. He extended his support to the victims, the injured, their families, as well as to the residents, elected officials, agents, and traders. He condemned the violence and damage and reaffirmed his commitment to republican values, respect for people and property, and the freedom to protest peacefully. He specified that the city would not organize a gathering as part of the AMF call but would prioritize local actions with traders and youth, while the municipal police would be mobilized for public tranquility. Bagayoko called for de-escalation and stated that the situation required concrete political and social responses from the President of the Republic and the government. According to him, the response could not be solely security-oriented but must address inequalities and precariousness. He also warned that gatherings should not justify a disengagement of the State nor the transfer of its responsibilities to municipalities. Finally, he supported the demands of high school students, university students, and others calling for measures against the cost of living. #Solidarité #JusticeSociale #Désescalade (translated)
