Impact reported that Tiziri Digne, presented in the publication as the wife of Lucas Digne, had downplayed the looting on October 17. In an Instagram story, she recalled that historical episodes such as July 14, 1789, May '68, the July Days, and the February Revolution of 1848 were also marked by destruction and confrontations, and that they had contributed, according to her, to current rights and social gains. She defended the claims of Gen Z, parents, lawyers, firefighters, and caregivers, and argued that the looting of a luxury storefront or the burning of a bus stop should not distract from deeper issues. She specifically cited the lack of resources in schools and hospitals, sexual violence in schools and after-school programs, police violence, inequalities, and racism. She also mentioned Mr. Nunez and criticized the fact that presidential candidates wearing electronic bracelets or already condemned continue to seek the highest offices. Tiziri Digne finally expressed that the contested struggles today could be celebrated in the future. #Révolution #Injustice #ChangementSocial (translated)
