David Lisnard denounced what he called the State's admission of powerlessness and the reversal of principles. He wrote that merchants paid for repairs and taxes to finance their security, but they were also being asked to rely on private companies, which would increase their costs and reduce their income during a difficult period. According to him, the least affluent merchants would be the first victims, unable to afford these protections. With Nouvelle Énergie, he called for a quick "restoration of the State" in service of all, particularly those in greatest need. #JusticeSociale #Sécurité #État (translated)

Guillaume Champeau has provided a very critical assessment of ten years of Macronist power. He stated that shopkeepers were being encouraged to hire private security agents, as the police, according to him, were no longer able to protect them from riots, and that the French could only demonstrate with state-approved unions. He also denounced the degradation of hospitals and public services, the decline of the National Education system, and a 17-point increase in public debt compared to the rest of the eurozone. He claimed that 13% of the French said they could not eat their fill and accused the government of asking intelligence services to lie about the political opposition to hold it responsible for the riots. Finally, he mentioned an extreme-right party at the gates of power, a media landscape that normalizes racism and Islamophobia, a diplomacy unable to defend French values, and a deepening impoverishment with no prospects for improvement. #Macronie #CrisePolitique #France (translated)
