Impact 5h

Impact wrote that Evan, 15, who had lost a hand in the explosion of a police grenade in Lens, denied having picked it up, contrary to what the prosecution had claimed. According to the author, the teenager, injured on Monday, October 5, during a high school protest, also contested any involvement in violence, according to his lawyer. Impact added that this version had been widely relayed by the media, sometimes presented as established, while witnesses had contested it from the day of the events. The lawyer denounced, according to the author, a position of the prosecution formulated before Evan's hearing and in the absence of a video of the explosion. The teenager's mother had filed a complaint and the investigation by the IGPN was ongoing to establish the circumstances of the tragedy. #JusticePourEvan #LutteContreLaViolence #DroitsDesJeunes (translated)

Press Briefs reported that Evan, 15 years old, had his hand blown off by a grenade thrown by law enforcement on Monday in Lens, during a high school mobilization. The media indicated that the prosecutor initially claimed that the teenager had picked up the grenade, a version relayed by several major media outlets, including continuous news channels, but Evan denied it. According to Press Briefs, witnesses had challenged this version from the first day to the local radio Ici, formerly France Bleu. They reportedly said that the grenade exploded near Evan without him having picked it up. The media also indicated that the teenager's mother had filed a complaint for her son's injuries. Press Briefs questioned the media treatment given to the version from the prosecutor or the police when it serves as the main source of a narrative. The media added that earlier in the week, it had questioned a journalist from a major national channel in charge of police-justice cases about a framing based solely on police sources despite contradictory witness testimonies. According to Press Briefs, the journalist did not respond. #Lens #Evan #Médiatique (translated)

The French Mileists contested information that they claim was relayed by Le Canard enchaîné and several accounts on X, alleging that accounts linked to David Lisnard's campaign had bet on Polymarket to artificially inflate his chances. They stated that the bets against Lisnard were, on the contrary, very concentrated on a single account named LLamaLoco, which reportedly wagered more than 420,000 dollars against him. The largest bet in favor of Lisnard was said to be 18,000 dollars, which, according to them, represents a ratio of 25 to 1 in amount and 2.5 to 1 in the number of shares bought. They added that LLamaLoco also wagered 200,000 dollars against Marine Le Pen and 28,000 dollars on a victory for Jean-Luc Mélenchon, and that Lisnard and Le Pen represented 70% of the current positions of the account on Polymarket. The account allegedly continued to bet against Lisnard and had been active for some time. The French Mileists stated that they do not draw any conspiracy-like conclusions from these elements but believe that, without these bets, Lisnard would be even higher. Finally, they indicated that Polymarket, on its site reserved for American citizens, estimated his chances of winning at 16%. #Politique #DavidLisnard #Polymarket (translated)

Bleu Blanc Rouge reported that, on Friday, October 2, 2026, a plainclothes police officer was assaulted near the Gustave-Courbet high school in Belfort and hospitalized after losing consciousness. The author noted that the public prosecutor had opened an investigation for attempted voluntary homicide and that the Minister of the Interior had described the images of the assault as particularly violent. The author reported that the account AlertesInfos, followed according to him by more than 850,000 people, claimed that the policeman could be seen trying to drown a high school student. He added that the public prosecutor of Belfort, Paul-Édouard Lallois, disputed this interpretation: according to the elements cited by the author, the two men had slipped into a stream and the video that was broadcast had been edited. He also wrote that AlertesInfos had relayed the prosecutor's denial while maintaining its version, relying on testimonies from people present. Bleu Blanc Rouge accused the account of spreading unverified information while presenting itself as a neutral media. It also claimed that its manager, a student named Moussa according to public notices, was not a journalist and that the account had already been criticized in 2018 for relaying false information. The author finally characterized AlertesInfos and other accounts as pro-LFI activists, accusing them of spreading false information to incite anger among their supporters, and expressed the hope that the police officer would file a complaint after his recovery. #FakeNews #ViolenceUrbaines #Justice (translated)
