Actu Foot reported that Lucas Digne was dividing the consultants of Rothen s’enflamme before PSG–Barça. Jean-Michel Larqué believed that Paris Saint-Germain made a mistake in choosing him to replace Lucas Hernandez. Éric Di Meco judged that Digne was on the decline after a great career, said he was surprised by his return to PSG, and wondered if he had dropped to third place in the hierarchy. Christophe Dugarry, for his part, considered it too early to talk about failure and wanted to wait a few more weeks, believing that the situation could evolve. #PSG #FCBarcelona #Football (translated)
Philippe Lemoine asked what concrete demands the protesters were making, believing that their discontent with the stagnation or decline of real disposable income did not constitute a proposal in itself. He stated that they would be unable to present realistic measures and would merely demand more money or suggest "taking from the rich." He added that the reinstatement of the wealth tax (ISF) and the establishment of the Zucman tax would, in his opinion, bring in 20 to 30 billion euros at most, while there would still be 100 billion to find. He asked where the protesters proposed to find that amount. #Revendiquer #Economie #Manifestation (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)
Little Think Tank estimated that France was sinking into a major social and political crisis, just a few months before the presidential election. According to the account, the CFDT, CGT, FO, Unsa, and FSU had called for a national day of strike and demonstrations on November 5 to defend wages, public services, and employment. The account also indicated that the Yellow Vests were calling for actions to continue throughout the week and had announced a "Act 2" on October 24. It presented the protests, initially carried out by high school students and university students, as the expression of a deep social discontent that had been building for several months, or even several years. Little Think Tank added that the Farmers' Confederation had recently called for the convergence of struggles and that other sectors, including firefighters, were still on strike. #Grève #Manifestation #France (translated)
