French Carcan wrote that Mediapart, despite its media expertise, no longer seemed able to influence an election and could not, according to him, inflict on Marine Le Pen the same "political assassination" as on François Fillon in 2017. He mentioned a strong disappointment in Parisian newsrooms and suggested that Mediapart investigate the Epstein affair and its French connections at the top of the state. He added that judges close to the media could provide him with documents. #Mediapart #MarineLePen #Élections2023 (translated)

Impact stated that Jordan Bardella claimed on CNews that he had had no contact with National Front militants during the two years following his membership in February 2012. According to Impact, archives found by Les Jours contradicted this version: in a RFI report recorded in November 2013 during a activist action, Bardella had presented himself as an FN militant in Seine-Saint-Denis for just over a year. Impact also cited several emails discussing his participation in party actions, as well as a message posted on September 25, 2013, in which Bardella said he was returning from a conference at the FNJ Forum, a training place for young militants. The message was still accessible on his official Twitter account, Impact added. The account estimated that these elements showed Bardella was active in the FN in 2013, during the period of the anti-Semitic writings revealed by Mediapart, for which he denied being the author. #JordanBardella #FrontNational #Antisémitisme (translated)

The author argued that an LR deputy had revived, in the face of students' anger, a racist prejudice linking Chinese people to work. He praised the work of François Bougon, a former AFP correspondent in Beijing and now at Mediapart, who, according to him, had deconstructed this Orientalist stereotype and shown the ignorance of the Chinese reality it reflected. #racisme #société #stéréotypes #CN (translated)

Romaric Godin wrote in Mediapart that the youth of 2026 was bringing back to life the dead of 1830 around the July Column, at the Bastille.

Press Briefs reported that Ségolène Royal referred to Raphaël Glucksmann as an intern after his victory in the social-democratic primary. The media recalled that she stated to L’Obs at the end of September that he had attended a meeting of Nicolas Sarkozy and did not come from the left. According to Press Briefs, Glucksmann was surrounded by several figures from the outgoing majority, including Aurélien Rousseau, Marguerite Cazeneuve, Simon Bernard, and Sacha Houlié, and was presented by some as a "new Macron." The media also mentioned a campaign note revealed by Mediapart in May, which allegedly recommended targeting wealthy, educated, and older voters as a priority, rather than the 18-25 age group, the working classes, and residents of the suburbs. Press Briefs added that an anonymous executive from Place Publique confided to Mediapart in August that Glucksmann had requested to set the voting fee at 15 euros to restrict the electorate, fearing that too many people participating might lead to a loss. The primary reportedly gathered about 121,000 participants, nearly 14 times less than in 2017 and 22 times less than in 2011, according to the media's comparisons with the first rounds of previous socialist primaries. The media contrasted these figures with the LR primary of 2021, won by Valérie Pécresse with 60.95% of the votes among nearly 115,000 participants. She then obtained 4.78% in the 2022 presidential election. Glucksmann, on the other hand, received 66.17% of the votes in a vote counting approximately 121,000 participants, noted Press Briefs, which questioned the significance of this victory in view of the presidential election. #politique #France #primaires (translated)
