I want to be extremely clear regarding the claim that I was seen hitting a vehicle: it is false, utterly false, and outrageous. This claim aims once again to discredit my presence on the ground, while my approach is precisely the opposite: to participate in the pacification, to avoid as much as possible any escalation, and to support the main demands of high school students. However, I was a direct witness to a particularly dangerous situation. A driver, clearly scared as young high school students had surrounded her vehicle and were hitting it, accelerated, creating a very serious risk of running over and seriously injuring students. In light of the seriousness of this situation, I shouted for the driver to slow down and for the young people to immediately move away from the vehicle. Aware of the danger, I then continued my run toward the police positioned in front of the vehicle to inform them of the seriousness of what I had just witnessed and the extremely dangerous behavior of the driver. We would later learn that she was a police officer. I also want to remind an essential element: the student mobilization was on the roadway, and a request had been made to the police authorities to temporarily stop traffic in front of the school. This request having been denied, the conditions were set for a situation of confrontation between vehicles and students to deteriorate and cause a serious accident. It is precisely to avoid this type of situation that I am present. I also call on law enforcement and their superiors to exercise the greatest restraint. We are facing young students, sometimes very young, who may, due to their age and inexperience, not fully realize the dangers they are exposing themselves to. This obviously does not mean that anything goes. It means that the response must be proportionate, controlled, and directed toward de-escalation, so that no young person is injured and no tragedy occurs. I will continue to call on the youth to act responsibly, particularly not to expose themselves in front of vehicles and to never put their lives in danger. But I will not allow lies and unfounded accusations to push me away from the support I deem necessary for the demands of high school students. Therefore, I call once again on the Minister of the Interior, the Minister of National Education, the Prime Minister, and the President of the Île-de-France Region to do their part in de-escalation. In such a tense situation, every word matters. We must avoid statements that could fuel confrontation and, on the contrary, create conditions for dialogue allowing the demands of high school students to be heard. The priority must remain the safety of young people, calming the situation, and respecting the right to mobilization. #Lycéens #Sécurité #Désescalade (translated)
