The crazy thing is that they are mobilizing. They are well aware of all the effects it can have on their journey and their Parcoursup. But they still mobilize, and that's what's beautiful about this youth, points out the teacher. It's incredibly brave. They miss class hours, they miss assessments. #Parcoursup #MobilisationLycéenne #Éducation (translated)

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)

Impact reported that Jean-Luc Mélenchon contested live on television the comments made by Sébastien Lecornu regarding the violence that occurred during the mobilization on October 17. Mélenchon accused the government of being solely responsible and called on Emmanuel Macron to respond to social anger and the demands of young people. He rejected the idea of having to choose between looters and police, believing that the conflict was rather between a youth facing a deep crisis and a government that, according to him, allowed the situation to deteriorate before resorting to blind violence. He compared the methods used to those observed during the Yellow Vests movement and the repression in the Antilles. Mélenchon also argued that maintaining order required a professional technique rather than resorting to brutality. He cited May 1968, stating that a month of violence and car and business fires had resulted in no deaths, and referred to the republican morals of the police union leaders of the time. He concluded that the government was responsible for the disorder and that democracy should allow for managing social tensions through debate and the maintenance of tranquility. #Mélanchon #Gouvernement #Violences (translated)

Louis Boyard harshly criticized Emmanuel Macron's speech, which he described as a lack of respect towards young people. He believed that the youth could not accept mobilizing for three weeks to receive, in his opinion, eight minutes without a concrete response. The deputy called on the president to end his strategy of delay and repression, and to respond quickly to the demands of the youth. He mentioned price caps, a raise in salaries, and 10 billion euros for the youth, as well as decent living, working, and studying conditions. He deemed it irresponsible to postpone these measures or to defer them to a new consultation. #Jeunesse #Mobilisation #Respect (translated)
