Press briefs reported that, in its latest editorial, Le Monde argued that the protests on Saturday, October 17 should not be reduced to looting and destruction. The newspaper claimed that the vast majority of the processions had been peaceful and made legitimate demands, with 800,000 participants according to the organizers and 550,000 according to the Interior Ministry. The editorial blamed Emmanuel Macron for a persistent deafness to social movements during his two terms. It reproached successive governments for sidelining unions since 2017, weakening their role as intermediaries, and ignoring the dissatisfaction of young people. Le Monde linked the movement of October 17 to the Yellow Vests, which emerged in December 2018 around purchasing power and the cost of living, and reminded that the 225,000 contributions from the grievance books had not led to a political translation. The newspaper estimated that the 2023 demonstrations against the pension reform, adopted by the Borne government without a parliamentary vote, had similarly been followed by a lack of political response. According to the editorial, this situation had fueled mistrust towards the head of state, and the executive could no longer dismiss the demands; social peace, it argued, depended on their consideration. #Macron #GiletsJaunes #France (translated)
