Bally Bagayoko indicated that students, teachers, and educational assistants from Paul-Éluard high school had gathered on Thursday, October 15, to defend equality of rights in education. According to him, the mobilization was taking place without violence or degradation, no projectiles had been used, and classes remained accessible. He added that some young people had brought sound equipment to dance. The mayor reported that around 10:30 am, law enforcement had used batons and tear gas without warning, according to the elected officials present. He claimed that several officers were not wearing their RIO number and that some were masked. Nesrine Gharbi, a municipal councilor, reportedly identified herself as an elected official in an attempt to de-escalate the situation before being gassed in the face at point-blank range and then struck, according to her account. The municipality provided her with support. Bagayoko specified that five people were in police custody. He also reported that around 1 p.m., a student fearing arrest had sought refuge in the school. The principal had reportedly held him in his office before police officers from the BAC entered the premises to take him away. Teachers and educational assistants had reportedly intervened. Bagayoko attributed the escalation to an intervention he described as brutal and disproportionate in the face of young people protesting non-violently. He believed that those who decided on this intervention should be held accountable and lamented the lack of a call for de-escalation from the state. The mayor stated that he had spoken by phone with the commissioner and the deputy prefect. He had asked them to put an end to the escalation and to provide explanations regarding the use of force in front of the high school, the conditions of the arrests, the retention of the student by the principal, and the entry of the police into the establishment. The city demanded that responsibilities be established and that everyone's rights be respected. Bagayoko defended the school as a place of learning, protection, and dialogue, and asserted that the demands of the high school students called for political responses: more staff, better study conditions, and increased investment in education in Seine-Saint-Denis. He added that Saint-Denis–Pierrefitte stood alongside the mobilized students, educational teams, and families. #Éducation #ÉgalitéDesDroits #Mobilisation (translated)

Gabriel Hardy wrote that 11 years of liberal power, two prime ministers, ethical scandals, and billions of dollars had left many questions unanswered. He mentioned the scandals that occurred under Justin Trudeau and believed that Mark Carney's financial ties to Brookfield, as well as his government's decisions, raised serious questions. Hardy added that the requests for explanations seemed to disturb and defended the right to seek more transparency. He argued that Canada was not a private company, that the prime minister did not own it, and that public money was not a blank check. He indicated that he had gathered facts, testimonies, and documents in a new text on Substack, and invited his readers to form their own opinion. He also asked them if they felt that sufficient measures were being taken to protect democracy. #Démocratie #Politique #Transparence (translated)

Paul Vannier indicated that he had written to the mayor of Argenteuil after, in his view, the face of Yassin Zeghli, a rebellious municipal elected official, was removed from a photograph published by the official accounts of the city.

Paul Vannier recalled hosting, on July 7, 2025, a delegation from the youth municipal council of Argenteuil at the National Assembly. According to him, a photo of the visit published on the city's Facebook page more than a year later showed the face of Yassin Zeghli erased. Vannier specified that Zeghli, who was then his parliamentary collaborator and the organizer of the day, had since been elected as a municipal councilor and was sitting in opposition for La France Insoumise. Vannier wondered if this allegiance to the opposition explained the erasure and deemed that it could only result from an instruction from the mayor. He called the treatment unacceptable and requested that the publication be corrected, that apologies be made to Zeghli, and that Mayor Georges Mothron provide explanations. He added that he did not believe that the right-wing municipal officials present during the visit should be excluded from the photographs. #Argenteuil #politique #république (translated)

Press Briefs reported nearly 7,000 police custody cases, 86% of which involved minors, and indicated that the majority had not led to legal proceedings at this stage. The account described these arrests as a massive and unprecedented measure aimed at containing the mobilization of young people. Several cited observers viewed this as a form of intimidation, while Press Briefs believed this practice infringed on the right to protest and risked normalizing disproportionate police and judicial responses. The account added that the preventive use of police custody had already been documented during the Yellow Vests movement. Relying on independent press articles, Press Briefs relayed testimonies from high school students reporting violent detention conditions, symptoms of post-traumatic stress, forced undressings, and physical or psychological violence. A 15-year-old reportedly recounted being slammed against a concrete bed and hit on the head by police and then insulted. A complaint had been filed, according to the account, which also indicated that the police prefecture had not responded to Mediapart's questions about the reported statements. Mohammed, a 16-year-old high school student in Saint-Denis, reportedly stated that police had hit the bars of his cell during the night to wake up the detainees and had targeted him with a racist insult. The mother of Noham, also 16, claimed that her son had been hit in the liver and face after asking why he had been arrested. Adam's mother also denounced violence against young protesters. Press Briefs added that several teenage girls and boys reported sexist and racist remarks from police, and complaints had been filed. Anne Savinel-Barras, president of Amnesty International France, expressed her concern over the repression of the student movement, believing that the young people's demands for education and health were met with prohibitions on demonstrations and disproportionate police violence. The NGO stated that it would support people peacefully protesting and defend the right to demonstrate. The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights also expressed concern about the situation in France and notably called for a proportional use of force. #jeunesse #manifestation #répression (translated)
