Six months before the election, the French Mileistes believed that Philippe and Attal had no chance of winning, as they would have to account for Emmanuel Macron's record. They criticized them for not proposing anything and judged their work to be mediocre. The movement considered Retailleau's draft program interesting, while regretting that it lacked details and did not plan to address pensions. They believed that his campaign would be difficult due to his tenure at the Ministry of the Interior and that he had already lost the battle against Lisnard. The French Mileistes advised him to quickly rally behind the latter. Regarding Lisnard, they noted a favorable dynamic on social media, in polls, and for the growth of his party. They described him as a convinced liberal and believed he was the only one who could convince retirees to accept a reduction in their pensions. However, they found it difficult to assess his program, as few definitive elements had been published, and wondered if he could make up for his lack of notoriety in six months. According to them, he would also have to respond to accusations of weakness from the right and potential compromise with the Macronist center. They believed he needed to convince 30 to 40% of the French to embrace liberalism. The French Mileistes considered Marine Le Pen the clear favorite of the election but described her party as historically socialist in economic terms. They praised the change in tone related to the recent presentation of a budget she wanted to be responsible, while judging her calculations so poor that it could, according to them, be seen as dishonesty or amateurism. They believed that without a change in economic direction, she risked leading the country to bankruptcy. Concerning Zemmour, they recalled his historically antiliberal position and attributed a genuine communication effort in favor of liberalism to Sarah Knafo. They considered his change in economic discourse credible, as they saw the economy as secondary for Zemmour, but believed that his budget lacked credibility if it aimed to simultaneously reduce the deficit and taxes. They asserted that Zemmour suffered from a very bad image in public opinion and had almost no chance of winning. In their eyes, R! should have presented Knafo. #Élections2024 #PolitiqueFrançaise #Libéralisme (translated)

Médias Citoyens stated that the CGT of France Télévisions demanded the resignation of Laurent Delahousse and the entire weekend 20 Heures team after the broadcast of a report on the violence of October 17. According to the media outlet, the union criticized the lack of comments to contextualize the subject and the airing of an intervention by Jean-Luc Mélenchon, which it labeled as an "obvious misunderstanding" and a "gross and dishonest procedure." Médias Citoyens indicated that it had rewatched the sequence and deemed that Mélenchon was discussing the mobilization of young people and its scale, and not the violence. The media concluded that the choice to air his statements in this report could be debated, but was not sufficient to prove that they had been distorted. It accused the CGT of stepping outside its union role by demanding the resignation of journalists and intervening, in its view, in a political battle as the 2027 presidential election approaches. Médias Citoyens has asked the ethics committee of France Télévisions to investigate the matter, particularly the pressures exerted on the editorial staff and their consequences for editorial independence. #CGT #Mélanchon #LibertéÉditoriale (translated)
