Press summaries mentioned the possibility of a regime crisis six months before the presidential election, in a context of political tensions and suspicions of political-media manipulation. According to its summary, partial curfews had been imposed in some neighborhoods, sometimes only for minors, with some cases of prohibitions on demonstrations in Paris, Lyon, Lille, Douai, Denain, Nice, Bordeaux, Pointe-à-Pitre, and Les Abymes. The report relied on revelations from Mediapart regarding possible pressures on territorial intelligence to attribute acts unrelated to the party to La France insoumise. It cited the testimony of an intelligence member who said he was asked to assign these acts to LFI despite a lack of basis. Press summaries also noted that Gérard Larcher had publicly mentioned the party's ban and that François-Xavier Bellamy believed that Philippe Poutou should be imprisoned. Regarding the media, press summaries reported that Lara Tchekov from JDD claimed on CNews that automatic weapons were circulating among rioters, attributing this information to the DGSI. According to the report, the DGSI categorically denied transmitting this information, being contacted by JDD, and confirming the claim; several police sources also denied it. The text also indicated that Paul Amar asserted on CNews that Jewish businesses had been torched in Marseille because they were Jewish, while Bruno Benjamin, president of CRIF Marseille-Provence, contested that any anti-Semitic targeting had been established. Press summaries further stated that 780 students from 15 journalism schools denounced the media treatment of high school mobilizations and called for the defense of independent and ethical information. The report added that the European Union had urged France to protect the right to peaceful assembly and not to equate peaceful protesters with those committing violence. Finally, it reported that the coordination of the Yellow Vests announced an "act II" for October 24, following the mobilization on October 17, and that unions maintained their meeting on November 5, believing that their demands had been sidelined. Press summaries described these events as a combination of social mobilizations, restrictions on public freedoms, accusations of pressure on intelligence, media misinformation, and a hardening of political debate. #France #Politique #Libertés (translated)

Press Briefs reported that 780 female and male students from 15 journalism schools had denounced, in a forum, the media coverage of high school mobilizations. The signatories believed that sensationalist editorial lines rendered the demands invisible and that some media omitted police violence in favor of the damage and incidents they attributed to people outside the movement. They also criticized some newsrooms for broadcasting images of minors without blurring their faces. The forum cited data from ACRIMED on the television news of France 2 between September 28 and October 1, 2026: 11 segments were dedicated to the mobilizations, of which 75% of the time focused on material damage, 8% on the demands, and 3% on police violence, which amounted to 47 seconds. The students said they observed a gap between what they saw on the ground and the media coverage, which they deemed contrary to journalistic ethics. They called on mainstream media to better contextualize the movement and take responsibility. The signatories came from the Journalism School of CY Cergy, Celsa – Paris, CFJ – Paris, ESJ – Lille, Journalism School of Grenoble, IFP – Paris, EJCAM – Marseille, IJBA – Bordeaux, IPJ – Paris, EDJ – Paris, CUEJ – Strasbourg, IUT of Lannion, EJC – Cannes, Master of Journalism of Metz, and EPJT – Tours. #journalisme #médiatique #désinformation (translated)

Erik Tegnér accused Youssef Badr of describing, during an interview with LCP, the numerous emails sent to him as harassment within the context of the adversarial process, believing that they aimed to destabilize the judicial institution. Tegnér found this accusation incoherent, reminding that Badr had previously asked him during his trial to press harder with the lawyers who were not responding. He deemed that some individuals wanted journalists to simply publish flattering portrayals and labeled this attitude as totalitarian. He also expressed his astonishment at the idea that these individuals could later judge issues of press law. Tegnér clarified that the journalist who sent the emails was not him, as he had withdrawn from the investigation. He presented this journalist as the editor-in-chief of Frontières and holder of a press card, indicating that the media outlet was accredited by the CPPAP and recognized as part of the IPG. According to Tegnér, the investigation had respected the adversarial process, Badr had not contested the accuracy of the facts, and no defamation complaint had been filed. He defended the public interest in the subject by pointing out that Badr was a judge already in the media spotlight and a candidate for the presidency of the ENM. Finally, he criticized the journalist from LCP for giving favorable treatment to Badr. #Journalisme #LibertéDeLaPresse #Démocratie (translated)

Transparence Citoyenne announced that it was contesting before the administrative court of Paris the refusal of Gérard Larcher to provide the expense reports of the senators. The organization stated that it had sent its request to the president of the Senate in May, and then received a refusal in June. A new request sent to the Senate's ethics committee reportedly went unanswered. According to Transparence Citoyenne, Gérard Larcher justified his refusal by invoking a regime distinct from other administrations, the confidentiality provided by the internal regulations of the Senate, the status of senator — referring to a decision of the Council of State from 2019 — and the respect for the privacy of the senators. #Transparence #Justice #Sénat (translated)

Jean-Luc Mélenchon stated that Minister Nuñez indicated that no restraint instructions had been given to the internal security forces and that they could use all their weaponry. He denounced violence and police provocations, specifically mentioning a young person who allegedly lost an eye after a shot fired from 20 meters away, an attempted drowning, police who reportedly threw stones at CRS agents, and a severed hand. He called on elected officials and activists to intervene, to identify the provocateurs, and to collect testimonies about the conditions of ongoing police custody, which he referred to as "despicable." He also advocated for the state to enforce the police code of ethics and the obligation to display the RIO number, and to prioritize mediation and dialogue over repression. Mélenchon finally reminded, in his words, that these were children. #Justice #DroitsHumains #Police (translated)

Ben… 🤔 quand quelqu’un dit sciemment une chose fausse, on appelle ça un mensonge. Ou alors vous n’aviez pas vérifié avant de parler, mais dans ce cas il faut revoir les bases déontologiques du métier de journaliste. Au choix. #mensonge #journalisme #déontologie

Lorsque nous serons au pouvoir, nous refonderons la police de la cave au grenier pour redonner à cette institution une déontologie républicaine. J'appelle tout le monde à venir à la manifestation du 20 septembre contre la loi permis de tuer XXL qui donnerait une présomption de légitime défense aux policiers. #Manifestation #Police #Déontologie
