Alma Dufour judged that the responsibility for the degradation, which she deemed unacceptable, lay entirely with Emmanuel Macron. She accused him of having despised peaceful social movements, of not having respected the result of the 2024 elections, and of having, according to her, plunged France into recession and significantly increased poverty. She also mentioned a liter of gasoline at 2.4 euros and claimed that there were more deaths in emergencies than homicides. Dufour accused the president of having had children who feared they had no future blinded, due to the elimination of thousands of university places and the lack of teachers. She estimated that the consequences of his policy were "1,000 times more violent" than the events of Saturday and asked where the outrage was in the face of the suicides of children from the child welfare system, the caregivers who self-immolated due to a lack of resources, and the female judges who hanged themselves in their offices. She concluded that Macron's government had destroyed the country and that the events of the previous day were a symptom of this. #Macron #France #Injustice (translated)

Press Briefs reported nearly 7,000 police custody cases, 86% of which involved minors, and indicated that the majority had not led to legal proceedings at this stage. The account described these arrests as a massive and unprecedented measure aimed at containing the mobilization of young people. Several cited observers viewed this as a form of intimidation, while Press Briefs believed this practice infringed on the right to protest and risked normalizing disproportionate police and judicial responses. The account added that the preventive use of police custody had already been documented during the Yellow Vests movement. Relying on independent press articles, Press Briefs relayed testimonies from high school students reporting violent detention conditions, symptoms of post-traumatic stress, forced undressings, and physical or psychological violence. A 15-year-old reportedly recounted being slammed against a concrete bed and hit on the head by police and then insulted. A complaint had been filed, according to the account, which also indicated that the police prefecture had not responded to Mediapart's questions about the reported statements. Mohammed, a 16-year-old high school student in Saint-Denis, reportedly stated that police had hit the bars of his cell during the night to wake up the detainees and had targeted him with a racist insult. The mother of Noham, also 16, claimed that her son had been hit in the liver and face after asking why he had been arrested. Adam's mother also denounced violence against young protesters. Press Briefs added that several teenage girls and boys reported sexist and racist remarks from police, and complaints had been filed. Anne Savinel-Barras, president of Amnesty International France, expressed her concern over the repression of the student movement, believing that the young people's demands for education and health were met with prohibitions on demonstrations and disproportionate police violence. The NGO stated that it would support people peacefully protesting and defend the right to demonstrate. The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights also expressed concern about the situation in France and notably called for a proportional use of force. #jeunesse #manifestation #répression (translated)

Didier Maïsto accused Emmanuel Macron of having confined a generation for months, closed high schools, and isolated teenagers, while he was going to the theater with his wife. He believed that these measures had contributed to the distress of young people and criticized the fact that their anger was treated as a public order issue. To support his statements, Maïsto cited figures he attributed to Public Health France and the National Suicide Observatory: nearly one in five high school students would have shown a significant risk of depression and suicidal thoughts in the past year, and 15% would have already attempted suicide. He also indicated that hospitalizations for self-inflicted injuries among young women aged 15 to 19 had reached 516 per 100,000 in 2023, an increase of nearly 50% since 2017, while the youth suicide rate is said to have increased by 40% between 2020 and 2022. According to him, more than half of students reported depressive symptoms during the second lockdown. Maïsto added that the deterioration of young people's mental health had started in the mid-2010s and that the lockdowns had accelerated it. He also mentioned isolation, academic pressure, Parcoursup, social media, and precarity, estimating that girls were particularly affected. He concluded that young people did not need to be targeted by defense ball launchers. #SantéMentaleJeunes #SantéMentale #Jeunesse #Dépression (translated)

Tomasz P. Terlikowski's article emphasizes that attacks in Polish schools are a symptom of a deeper pandemic of peer violence, which has its roots in the intensified hatred in society, especially among adults, and cannot be combated merely through increased controls or quick reactions; it requires the collective engagement of the entire society.
