Bally Bagayoko wrote that he accompanied high school students and college students mobilized in Paris and witnessed, according to him, a disproportionate use of force against young people who wished to be heard. He called on the Minister of the Interior to urgently review the guidelines to avoid a tragedy. Addressing the protesters, he described their demands as just and encouraged them to continue their mobilization without yielding to provocations, in unity and non-violence. He believed that their numbers and determination could lead the government to listen to them. #Mobilisation #Solidarité #NonViolence (translated)

Bally Bagayoko said he was caricatured and that some media attributed intentions and statements to him that he had not made. He relayed the interventions of Isabelle Saporta and Alain Bauer, whom he thanked for their honesty. He asserted that combating violence among youth required not to feed it with stigmatizing words, policies of abandonment, or contempt. He stated that he prioritized listening and dialogue, an approach he has indicated he has been implementing for years in neighborhoods and in Saint-Denis–Pierrefitte, with educators, leaders, associations, and youth services. Bagayoko criticized those who, according to him, prioritized buzz and escalation over prevention, blaming culprits without addressing the causes, which he cited as relegation, the weakening of public services, and the lack of prospects for a generation. He said he refused to reduce young people to mere incidents and advocated for firmness against violence as well as against abandonment. According to him, lasting tranquility relied on human presence, dialogue, and social justice rather than on slogans. #JusticeSociale #NonViolence #Dialogue (translated)

"The discipline of combat, no panic, no anger." This Thursday, October 1st, Jean-Luc Mélenchon called on high school students to use "only non-violent methods" for their mobilization, where they demand more resources for their institutions. #NonViolence #Mélenchon #Lycéens (translated)

I am very worried about police violence against young people. A young person has already been blinded. Most of us are parents. What if it were ours? I said it, I say it and I repeat it: we are for non-violent methods of struggle. We can't believe it. https://t.co/RJDDuPjl9H #ViolencePolicière #DroitsDesHumains #NonViolence #FR (translated)

High school students mobilized, when they have the floor, are clear about their demands: more resources for their education. They are often supported by their educational teams, on the front line against the deterioration of public school. The rebels call for non-violence. #Éducation #Mobilisation #NonViolence #FR (translated)

Les chasseurs sont violents par nature @BrunoRetailleau. Ils tuent par plaisir, comme le reconnaît volontiers leur patron Willy Schraen. Et ils ont coutume d’agresser leurs opposants sur le terrain. De notre côté nous appelons à la non-violence, c’est à dire l’interdiction #NonViolence #Chasseurs #Violence #FR
