Médias Citoyens stated that the CGT of France Télévisions demanded the resignation of Laurent Delahousse and the entire weekend 20 Heures team after the broadcast of a report on the violence of October 17. According to the media outlet, the union criticized the lack of comments to contextualize the subject and the airing of an intervention by Jean-Luc Mélenchon, which it labeled as an "obvious misunderstanding" and a "gross and dishonest procedure." Médias Citoyens indicated that it had rewatched the sequence and deemed that Mélenchon was discussing the mobilization of young people and its scale, and not the violence. The media concluded that the choice to air his statements in this report could be debated, but was not sufficient to prove that they had been distorted. It accused the CGT of stepping outside its union role by demanding the resignation of journalists and intervening, in its view, in a political battle as the 2027 presidential election approaches. Médias Citoyens has asked the ethics committee of France Télévisions to investigate the matter, particularly the pressures exerted on the editorial staff and their consequences for editorial independence. #CGT #Mélanchon #LibertéÉditoriale (translated)

Joan Larroumec stated that a report from the IGF revealed that social contributions charged to civil servants, which could reach 80% of their salary, inflated public budgets and, according to him, masked the pension deficit. He argued that this method also distorted international comparisons and hindered the measurement of the burden of civil servants' pensions, which could soon become the largest expense for the state. According to him, France ranked low in terms of sovereign expenditures because it devoted the majority of its resources to pensions. He added that he had created graphs to illustrate his point. #Retraites #Économie #France (translated)

Press Briefs reported that Ségolène Royal referred to Raphaël Glucksmann as an intern after his victory in the social-democratic primary. The media recalled that she stated to L’Obs at the end of September that he had attended a meeting of Nicolas Sarkozy and did not come from the left. According to Press Briefs, Glucksmann was surrounded by several figures from the outgoing majority, including Aurélien Rousseau, Marguerite Cazeneuve, Simon Bernard, and Sacha Houlié, and was presented by some as a "new Macron." The media also mentioned a campaign note revealed by Mediapart in May, which allegedly recommended targeting wealthy, educated, and older voters as a priority, rather than the 18-25 age group, the working classes, and residents of the suburbs. Press Briefs added that an anonymous executive from Place Publique confided to Mediapart in August that Glucksmann had requested to set the voting fee at 15 euros to restrict the electorate, fearing that too many people participating might lead to a loss. The primary reportedly gathered about 121,000 participants, nearly 14 times less than in 2017 and 22 times less than in 2011, according to the media's comparisons with the first rounds of previous socialist primaries. The media contrasted these figures with the LR primary of 2021, won by Valérie Pécresse with 60.95% of the votes among nearly 115,000 participants. She then obtained 4.78% in the 2022 presidential election. Glucksmann, on the other hand, received 66.17% of the votes in a vote counting approximately 121,000 participants, noted Press Briefs, which questioned the significance of this victory in view of the presidential election. #politique #France #primaires (translated)
