Citizen Media estimated that French media gave little voice to moderate and non-partisan citizens, in favor of people with stronger opinions, activists, and associative spokespersons. According to the media, this selection, particularly in televised news, street interviews, and studio debates, distorted the representation of opinions and concerns of the French people. Citizen Media added that this invisibilization marginalized individuals committed to dialogue and pragmatism. It claimed that it impoverished democratic debate, fueled distrust towards the media, and gave the impression that society was divided into irreconcilable camps. #Médias #OpinionPublique #Démocratie (translated)

Florence Bergeaud-Blackler expressed her disagreement with a thesis by Jérôme Fourquet, which she said was echoed by almost all the media, presenting the riots as festive and playful events. She believed that this approach avoided naming a segment of the population descended from African immigration, to which, in her view, the punishment of infidels and colonizers was permitted. She added that the lack of designation, in her opinion, prevented understanding the cultural and religious motives of these individuals as well as their way of conducting political actions. #Émeutes #Immigration #Culture (translated)

Jean-Luc Mélenchon wished Pope Leo XIV a prompt and solid recovery after his surgery. He felt that disagreements about worldviews should not overshadow the fact, in his opinion, that the pope had recognized secularism at the Élysée, while addressing the President of the Republic. Mélenchon stated that Leo XIV had provided a definition in line with European conventions on the public practice of religious rites, a definition that he claimed was rejected by all French right-wing parties. He considered that this recognition marked a break from Pope Pius X's opposition to the separation of Church and State, and that it ended a long period of confrontation between the Catholic Church and the Republic. The other issues, he believed, fell under legitimate controversies resolved by French laws. #Laïcité #République #PapeLéonXIV (translated)
