Review wrote that the SVT broadcast appeared to have been interrupted due to threatening individuals and that the police's role and responsibility for the violence in France were disputed.

Daniel Schatz criticized SVT's description of the events as school protests and argued that the reporting provided them with a romanticized historical explanation of the French struggle for social justice. He wrote that the riots included burning barricades, vandalism, attacks on police, and nearly 2,000 arrests. Schatz claimed that it was no longer about the legitimate demands of students, but about violent rioters who destroyed schools and private property and spread insecurity, terror, and extremism. He also referred to the fact that France's Minister of the Interior had stated that the events had gone far beyond a legitimate protest. According to Schatz, SVT nonetheless portrayed the violence as an idealistic school strike. #protester #socialrättvisa #våld (translated)
