Eric Coquerel stated that a declaration contradicted the remarks made Saturday evening by Minister Laurent Nuñez, who had presented as established, in his view, the responsibility of ultra-left organizations in the violence, particularly against town halls and public buildings, and implicated LFI. He criticized the minister for his incompetence, lack of foresight, and his management of maintaining order, which he deemed disastrous and responsible for the fragmentation of the main demonstration into several processions around République. He also accused him of manipulation and stated that his departure as well as a change in doctrine were necessary for the next demonstrations to go as smoothly as possible. #Politique #Manifestation #France (translated)

Mounir Laggoune wrote that he spent a month in the United States working on Finary's artificial intelligence. He believed that, despite its flaws, the country was driven by a strong energy of construction, whereas in France, in his view, the cities were ravaged. He attributed this situation to fifty years of disastrous political decisions, made by both the left and the right, and deemed it unlikely that officials who had been in power for years could change everything. He identified as a fundamental cause a state that, in his opinion, taxed and managed everything, while living on credit since 1974. He argued that the French debt reached 3.6 trillion euros, or 119% of GDP and a record. He also compared the 21 million private sector employees to the 6 million public agents, 3.3 million unemployed, and 17 million retirees. Without change, he warned, dark days awaited the country. However, Laggoune said he remained hopeful, mentioning the know-how, culture, and history of France as well as the interest the world would have in it. He called on the silent majority that works quietly and finances what he referred to as a "circus" to make their voices heard. He announced that the Finary channel would analyze the economic programs of the parties, backed by figures, and said he wanted to give a major oral exam in economics to each candidate. He added that he doubted they would accept. #France #Économie #Politique (translated)

Impact reported that, during a discussion on TF1 about the violence of October 17, the Paris prosecutor, Laure Beccuau, had replied that she could not confirm that the individuals involved were politically aligned with the far left. Impact judged that this response contradicted the statements made by Emmanuel Macron and Laurent Nuñez on the subject. It reminded that Macron had declared the day before, in a speech to the Nation, that members of far-left groups, joined by numerous delinquents, had engaged in violence in the cities. #France #Justice #Violence (translated)
