🔴 Here is the scene filmed by the video surveillance cameras of a bakery in Petit-Quevilly, in the suburbs of Rouen. The scene took place around 9 a.m. this Thursday morning, while the manager was in the back room and his employee was preparing sandwiches. Several hooded and masked youths burst into the store to steal... displays of lollipops and candies before fleeing. The bakery is located near the Élisa-Lemonnier high school, particularly affected by the riots of recent days. This Thursday morning, its principal was notably attacked in the neck with a metal bar and sprayed with gas. The brand new facade was also vandalized. Frustrated, the baker decided to publish the images on social media, accompanied by these words: 🗣️ “We, artisans, have been suffering for months from rising prices of our raw materials, ever-increasing taxes, and mind-boggling taxes. We do everything we can to get by and avoid impacting the purchasing power of our customers. And today, this gang of degenerates dared to enter OUR place. The goal? To steal!” Contacted by @Valeurs, he indicated that he intends to file a complaint. (translated)

THE PRICE OF GAS IS SOARING! July: +7.4%. September: +5.6%. October: +6.3%. We can lower the price of gas by restoring direct purchases of Russian gas, which is cheaper for the French. Today, we continue to consume it... but much more expensively. Because we are being told this. (translated)

The justifications for blocking the high schools seem doubtful to me. Looking a bit at the videos of the demands: ▫️"We are 25 or 30 per class" Well... that's not a lot, 25 or 30, in middle school and high school, we were between 35 and 40 every year... ▫️"The facilities are unsanitary" Well, that's often a reality, but a few minutes on TikTok are enough to understand that it's partly due to repeated damage by the students. ▫️"The class hours from 8 AM to 6 PM are too long" It's always been like that and we already have a lot of vacations; it's either one or the other. ▫️The cost and quality of the cafeteria: they are right about this, but with such a low cost relative to the real price and inflation, it's a logical consequence. ▫️Parcoursup and the future: this is the fault of the system that wants to give the Bac to everyone, even though there are no more job prospects. The problem is not Parcoursup but the too large number of high school students. ▫️"We are not replacing teachers" Given the working conditions, it’s not surprising. Overall, it only takes 5 minutes to watch the hundreds of videos to understand the issue. 80% of high school students don't care about the above demands; most are there for opportunism. The argument about disparities between suburbs and city centers is real, especially for Paris (the high schools in the center that pretend to support the movement are bold), but once again, the financial means allocated there are greater than for other territories, peri-urban or rural, and there are no riots there. And we can see clearly that this is just a pretext for the riot. We hear "the police are attacking the high school students." Really, I didn't think that by burning the high school entrance and throwing cobblestones at the riot police, they would charge back... All of this promises an explosive year in 2027… (translated)
