Press Briefs described a rally organized on October 17 as massive, but marked by violence. The report stated that the Ministry of the Interior counted 550,000 demonstrators, compared to up to 800,000 according to the organizers, and that intelligence services had underestimated the size of the gathering by five to eight times. It compared the official figure to the 282,710 participants recorded during the record of the Yellow Vests on November 17, 2018. The report mentioned looting and damage in Paris, Lyon, and Marseille, as well as clashes near the Élysée. It also reported that a 17-year-old girl lost an eye in Mulhouse, where an investigation by the IGPN was opened, and that a 17-year-old boy had his hand severed in Saint-Étienne. In Paris, according to Press Briefs, a video showed a person on the ground being beaten by more than twenty police officers, while a protester died on Boulevard Magenta; the prefecture mentioned a cardiac arrest. Press Briefs criticized the media coverage of the rally and relayed several political statements. The report noted that Marion Maréchal Le Pen refused to distinguish between the vandals and peaceful demonstrators, that Éric Ciotti called the unrest an "intifada," and that François-Xavier Bellamy called for the imprisonment of Philippe Poutou. It also highlighted comments from Prisca Thévenot about Jean-Luc Mélenchon and his remarks about Sébastien Lecornu, who called on the French to choose their side between the law enforcement and the Republic. The report further indicated that the mayor of Marseille, Benoît Payan, denied the figure of 30,000 looters, and that an AI-generated image, presented as showing an elderly couple being robbed in Paris, had garnered nearly six million views on X.
