Press briefs reported that, in its latest editorial, Le Monde argued that the protests on Saturday, October 17 should not be reduced to looting and destruction. The newspaper claimed that the vast majority of the processions had been peaceful and made legitimate demands, with 800,000 participants according to the organizers and 550,000 according to the Interior Ministry. The editorial blamed Emmanuel Macron for a persistent deafness to social movements during his two terms. It reproached successive governments for sidelining unions since 2017, weakening their role as intermediaries, and ignoring the dissatisfaction of young people. Le Monde linked the movement of October 17 to the Yellow Vests, which emerged in December 2018 around purchasing power and the cost of living, and reminded that the 225,000 contributions from the grievance books had not led to a political translation. The newspaper estimated that the 2023 demonstrations against the pension reform, adopted by the Borne government without a parliamentary vote, had similarly been followed by a lack of political response. According to the editorial, this situation had fueled mistrust towards the head of state, and the executive could no longer dismiss the demands; social peace, it argued, depended on their consideration. #Macron #GiletsJaunes #France (translated)

Eric Coquerel stated that a declaration contradicted the remarks made Saturday evening by Minister Laurent Nuñez, who had presented as established, in his view, the responsibility of ultra-left organizations in the violence, particularly against town halls and public buildings, and implicated LFI. He criticized the minister for his incompetence, lack of foresight, and his management of maintaining order, which he deemed disastrous and responsible for the fragmentation of the main demonstration into several processions around République. He also accused him of manipulation and stated that his departure as well as a change in doctrine were necessary for the next demonstrations to go as smoothly as possible. #Politique #Manifestation #France (translated)

The Court of Auditors highlights that, despite the 3.7 billion euros planned for the period 2022-2028, waiting lists in healthcare remain a structural problem that cannot be solved solely with additional funds, also requiring an increase in personnel and better implementation of the national platform. #Sanità #ListeDAttesa #PersonaleMedico (translated)

Vitor de Lucca stated that PoderData and Nexus conducted surveys during the same period, but said that the lack of disclosure of decimal numbers and total votes by PoderData prevented a complete comparison. He classified Nexus's survey as of higher quality and considered the decision of the institute to disclose the decimals when the election became tighter to be correct. De Lucca also wrote that, in the last week, the priority should be to try to convert votes and share excerpts of the debate on social media, instead of worrying about surveys. He recommended paying special attention to Facebook, which he described as a bubble of the right, and said that the left was forgetting that many people still use the platform. #Eleições2023 #PesquisaEleitoral #VotoConsciente (translated)
