Baloo defended the necessity of better understanding France's colonial and migratory history and called for the fight against racism. He reminded that Italians also suffered racism in France, citing the massacre of Italians in Aigues-Mortes in 1893, and that people of Asian descent were also victims of discrimination. He mentioned the experiences of several colonized peoples or recruited workers. According to him, Algeria had been colonized for 132 years and integrated into France as departments, despite unequal rights. He also stated that Algerians had been recruited to work in factories and on construction sites, sometimes in slums, and that the French army had tortured, raped, and killed civilians during the Algerian war. He wrote that Senegalese and Malians had been enlisted in the French armies, sometimes by force, before being employed in sectors such as mining and construction. He added that agreements had been signed as early as 1963 to bring in Moroccan and Tunisian workers. Baloo also mentioned colonial slavery in the Antilles and Réunion, abolished in 1848, and then the creation of BUMIDOM in 1963 to organize the departure of people to the mainland. He emphasized that these people were already French. Regarding Congo, he attributed forced labor and atrocities that would have caused millions of victims to the reign of Leopold II, King of the Belgians. He estimated that the effects of domination and exploitation persist, particularly in the inequalities in overseas territories and the debates about monetary sovereignty around the CFA franc. However, he clarified that he did not hold today's French responsible for the actions of their ancestors but deemed it necessary to understand this history. Reflecting on his childhood in Montfermeil and the documentary he had made about the town, Baloo stated that in the 1980s, the mayor refused enrollment in school for children from immigrant families. He also described neighborhoods marked, in his opinion, by degraded housing, insufficient infrastructure, and limited prospects. He believed that misery and exclusion could foster certain deviations, without excusing delinquency, and reminded that these neighborhoods also saw the emergence of professionals and artists. Finally, he denounced what he saw as a contradictory treatment of French people of immigrant descent: celebrated as French during World Cup victories but sent back to their origins when they claimed rights or denounced racism. He concluded that no one should have to justify their place in the country where they were born. #Histoire #Éducation #Racisme (translated)

Jean-Luc Mélenchon believed that the frustration in the country was linked to a general context marked, in his view, by the worsening of unemployment and misery. He added that the high cost of fuels prevented part of the population from moving around, that some people were skipping meals, and that, in the face of bills, residents were delaying the time to heat their homes as the cold approached. #situationéconomique #pauvreté #chômage (translated)

The cook criticized a question from ZDF about the causes of anger. He referred to decades of underfunded schools, a lack of teachers, unaffordable rents, sharply rising living costs, precarious jobs, problems with student funding, and the absence of youth clubs. Furthermore, younger people, in particular, would have to bear the consequences of the climate crisis. Koch wrote that one generation is expected to achieve more and work longer, yet can afford less and must cope with the crises of a system that benefits mainly others. He questioned how far journalism must have distanced itself from the realities of young people's lives to be astonished by their anger. #Wut #Jugend #Gesellschaft (translated)

Nathalie Arthaud lamented the damage and looting aimed at small businesses, which she described as collateral victims of a social anger for which they were not responsible. She said she understood their distress and called for the same emotion to be expressed in the face of layoffs, family evictions, and people forced to go without food, which she attributed to the practices of big business. She believed that society was undermined by a "social war" that marginalized and impoverished millions of young people and workers. According to her, the protests launched by the youth should continue and be amplified by workers. #Solidarité #JusticeSociale #Travailleurs (translated)

Aurélien Véron greeted Jehmima, a business leader born in Congo and who arrived in France at the age of 5 in poverty. He felt she had responded sharply to Lola-Fleur, presented as a close associate of Clémence Guetté, and criticized her for defending her ideas without having experienced the realities she claimed to explain. Véron added that Jehmima had reminded of the losses suffered during the weekend's riots by entrepreneurs from immigrant backgrounds. According to him, behind the broken windows were years of work, sacrifices, and lives, while the revolution of some came at the expense of the work of others. https://t.co/Q1JqeBG83O #Respect #Entrepreneuriat #Immigration (translated)

French Carcan accused the European Deputy Emma Fourreau of justifying shop looting by stating that Christmas was a period of "social violence." He also claimed that she, a municipal elected official in Caen affiliated with La France insoumise, had explained the vandalism of a Sephora store by social misery. In a sarcastic tone, he mentioned people deprived of food and housing who would preserve their dignity by buying perfumes and makeup. #ViolenceSociale #Pauvreté #Politique (translated)

Then came the budget misery. There are no new positions for 2027 and 2028. We understand that our demands cannot be implemented overnight, but we at least expect a phased plan to signal to the staff: It is hard now, but it will get better.
