TrashTalk estimated that the violence that occurred on Saturday overshadowed the peaceful demands of thousands of people mobilized to defend their rights. It mentioned the distress of various groups, including young people, high school students, farmers, teachers, firefighters, and nurses, and stated that some desperate young people were contemplating no longer living. The media criticized part of the press for prioritizing viewership and extreme editorial lines at the expense of these concerns. It also acknowledged the injured journalists on the ground and called on its colleagues not to let the rioters divert attention from the movement's demands. Referring to a lesson learned from its journalist parent, TrashTalk invited people to question who benefited from the situation and who triggered the violence. Finally, the media expressed its desire to use its message to support the three French basketball players who, according to it, were in the WNBA finals, asserting that it was part of its responsibilities. #Média #Responsabilité #Société (translated)

Nothing is less true. This will happen in parallel. Bart De Wever is still in the same logic, working on the 'nullijn' (evaluation of the implementation of previous budget commitments), VAT, spending cuts, etc. We still have our tables. We haven't abandoned anything. The only question Bart De Wever asked the deputy prime ministers is: are you ready to introduce this emergency button to ensure that financial markets remain stable? It is about two "parallel" approaches, assured the group leader of N-VA in the Chamber, Axel Ronse, in the corridors of the assembly on Thursday. #BudgetFédéral #PolitiqueBelge #NVA (translated)

Look closely: Who decides that a demonstration (which is a constitutional right) suddenly becomes an unlawful gathering? Under what oversight and with what feedback? In this situation, which has been recurring for 10 years, the police's actions have NO logic, and therefore NO legitimacy. (translated)

The author believed that the government's economic choices were not correct, stating that budget cuts were repeated every year while the deficit increased.

He added that the situation was serious and declared that the country would not yield to its enemies. #Sécurité #République #Leadership (translated)

Paul Vannier believed that the Socialist Party had not recovered from the 1.75% obtained by Hidalgo and that it was leaving the national political scene by not presenting any candidates from its ranks for the presidential election. He presented this situation as a consequence of its choice not to censure the government and its change of alliance, adding that its candidate now aspired to the leadership of the Macronist bloc. #Politique #PS #Présidentielle (translated)

Blue White Red! wrote that Jean-Luc Mélenchon wanted to grant the right to vote at the age of 16.

He claimed that Mélenchon now wanted to turn them into voters. https://t.co/yyiYZprPva #Vote16Ans #Politique #JeanLucMelenchon (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)

Nasss explained that the person concerned had abstained because the text was being rewritten in the National Assembly by the right and the far right, and therefore did not know its final version. According to Nasss, she had requested that the two subjects be separated and that the concerned mention be removed in order to vote only on female genital mutilation, but the opposition had refused. Nasss believed that a favorable vote would have led to approving a rewritten text whose content was uncertain, while a vote against could have made her appear in favor of female genital mutilation. #Politique #AssembléeNationale #Excision (translated)

Alexandre Jardin stated that the vote on the repeal of ZFEs in the National Assembly was blocked by procedural maneuvers that he attributed to the obstruction of LFI, ecologists, and Renaissance, with the deliberate cooperation of the government. According to him, the repeal would have been adopted since it was opposed by "8 out of 10 French people." He considered that this episode constituted a serious crisis of the democratic system and accused the French and European "green-authoritarian" bureaucracy of having the final word. Jardin explained that this situation led him to create RefCitoyen and called for the establishment of direct democracy. He added that democrats would take action at the end of the following week. #Démocratie #République #ZFE (translated)

Masian expressed concern that Lamine Yamal might be excluded from the Ballon d'Or due to his age, arguing that he would have many more opportunities to win it in the future. He believed that Harry Kane would be a deserving winner but found some arguments put forward by English commentators contradictory, accusing them of favoring nationalism and club interests. According to him, these commentators criticized Yamal for not having made enough of an impact in the World Cup, while acknowledging that he had won it and had been decisive against France in the most difficult match. Masian countered this with Kane's statistics and asked where he had distinguished himself in England's most challenging moments, suggesting that Jude Bellingham, or even Anthony Gordon against Argentina, had been more present. He also pointed out that one of the players in question had been voted the best player in his league, while Michael Olise had received the same title in the Bundesliga. Masian added that Kane had already won the Golden Boot and believed that his supporters should present coherent arguments if they wished to see him win the Ballon d'Or, rather than basing their choice solely on goals and assists. #BallonDor #Football #Lamine (translated)

Sylvain Catherine considered that a person living in a nursing home and receiving rental income could sell the concerned property to finance their needs. He believed that increasing the return on this capital was artificial and that it would be more logical to consume it at this stage of life. He wondered whether the heirs were not the only beneficiaries of measures allowing for the preservation of the property. #EHPAD #finances #patrimoine (translated)

Pope Leo XIV declared that the Church's primary mission was to help people reflect on their origins, their destiny, and the meaning of love and suffering. He warned that the pursuit of profit at any cost and the manipulation of information could lead individuals toward a consumption-based lifestyle, whereas the human heart was, in his view, turned toward heaven. #AudienceGénérale #Église #Spiritualité #Réflexion (translated)

gauchecaca claimed that Carole Zerbib, headteacher in Paris, had refused to respond to Frontières. He deemed this refusal logical, believing that education demanded an anti-racist zeal pushed to the absurd. He also described the vast majority of teachers and hierarchical leaders as potential political commissars, before asking readers for their opinion. https://t.co/KU7r6OjKuj #Éducation #Antiracisme #Liberté_d_expression (translated)

Rasmelthor believed that Gota's statements were not made with bad intentions. According to him, Gota wanted to defend the players' choice to join M8, who were then referred to as mercenaries, but his remarks had been taken out of context. He specified that the discussion was notably about 300k in unpaid fees and considered Gota's approach to be rather naïve and awkward. He thought that Gota's main mistake was not addressing the buyout issue before the players made their choice. He added that Gota was right to say that the contracts should have already been completed, but it would have been necessary to anticipate rather than rely on logic or good faith. According to Rasmelthor, Kamel had the right to enforce the buyout, even if it seemed unfair. Rasmelthor attributed part of the misunderstandings between Kamel and Gota to agents and individuals who leaked information. He requested that the players not be involved and believed that the situation could still end well for them and for the structures, without knowing if the relationship between Kamel and Gota could be repaired. He also stated that agents were harming the scene, while deeming the harassment unjustified, and called for an end to the conflict and for the parties involved to manage it among themselves. #Esport #Gota #Drama (translated)
