Press Briefs described a strong rise in tensions on the eve of what the report referred to as the "act III" of the high school mobilization, scheduled for Tuesday, October 6. According to the author, more than 5,000 people had been arrested in a few days, about 85% of whom were minors, and nearly 200 students had been injured. He cited several serious injuries: a 16-year-old had lost the use of an eye in Tours, a 14-year-old had been seriously injured in the jaw and teeth in Saint-Ouen-l’Aumône, a high school student had been injured in the eye in Argenteuil, and on Monday in Lens, a 15-year-old had his hand blown off by the explosion of a de-escalation grenade. Press Briefs added that six investigations by the IGPN were recorded on Monday afternoon. The author reminded that the demands were particularly about the lack of teachers and staff, overcrowded classes, learning conditions, inequalities in resources, and Parcoursup. He reported that the Minister of the Interior, Laurent Nuñez, had stated that he had given no instructions aimed at limiting the action of the law enforcement agencies nor requested that they forgo their intermediate weaponry. Press Briefs also estimated that the media coverage gave a dominant place to damage, clashes, and law enforcement, to the detriment of the demands and the use of force. In support of this criticism, the author cited a count by Acrimed covering four days of 1 PM and 8 PM news programs on France 2. Of the 24 minutes and 53 seconds dedicated to mobilizations, 19 minutes and 26 seconds, nearly 78%, were said to have focused on violence and clashes. The demands received 1 minute and 56 seconds, a potential disproportionate police response 47 seconds, and the government's accusations against LFI 2 minutes and 58 seconds. Press Briefs also reported that the League of Human Rights, the Lawyers' Union of France, and the Magistrates' Union had criticized the police response and raised concerns about the rights of minors and the rule of law. The Magistrates' Union had described it as brutal and inappropriate for a movement composed mainly of young people, according to the author. #Lyceens #Mobilisation #ViolencesPolicieres (translated)
