Impact shared an excerpt from France Info in which Mohamed, 18, explained that he obtained a general baccalaureate in mathematics and physics-chemistry and made 80 applications to IFSI, without receiving any admissions. He mentioned that he found himself without a school or job and had protested despite his peaceful temperament. Mohamed believed that the media primarily highlighted the damage and looting, to the detriment of the demands regarding purchasing power. He referenced the Yellow Vests, whose demonstrations had, in his opinion, achieved results, and expressed his desire to continue the mobilizations, without violence, until the demands were heard. He added that the rise in fuel prices now forced him to monitor every expense related to his travel and outings. #Manifestation #BAC #PouvoirDAchat (translated)

Little Think Tank wrote that he was exhausted by contradictory accusations. He indicated that, according to some factions, some suspected him of being funded by left-wing relatives or directly by the Macron government. He predicted that both supporters of Russia and Ukraine would then accuse him of being financed by the FSB or the SBU and of being anti-Western. He also anticipated opposing criticisms after the release of a video showing, according to him, a massacre of Palestinians committed by the Israeli army in Gaza: some would label him pro-Hamas, while others would accuse him of concealing murders committed by the IDF. Finally, he mentioned future accusations of being in the pay of NATO while being anti-European, then close to Donald Trump and anti-American. #politique #désinformation #Médias (translated)

Victoire Populaire 2027, relaying information from Libération, wrote that the Spanish daily El País placed the responsibility for the damage of October 17 on Emmanuel Macron. According to the account, the newspaper had also estimated that the last remnants of macronism had burned and that a political decade had ignited the anger of citizens who felt they were living worse than they were ten years ago. The account contrasted this interpretation with that of the dominant media in France, which it accused of shifting the responsibility onto Jean-Luc Mélenchon, the rebellious candidate in the presidential election. #Macron #ElPaís #Média (translated)

Nathalie Arthaud stated that more than 500,000 people had protested in the country, compared to 260,000 on October 6. She criticized Lecornu for only talking about rioters and thieves, while the media, according to her, focused on the destruction. She wrote that this coverage would not silence the young people, workers, and retirees facing difficulties in living and revolted by injustice, inequalities, racism, and police violence. According to her, the government had been trying since the beginning of the student mobilization to hide a social anger that it did not want to address, but which was overflowing. Arthaud called for organizing mobilization in companies, where workers are gathered and produce wealth, and to meet there the following day to formulate demands. #Manifestation #ColèreSociale #Injustice (translated)

The account Les Mileistes Français stated that Nicolas paid between 60 and 70% in taxes, while also bearing many other expenses. It notably mentioned a surcharge on insurance related, according to him, to the increase in looting episodes, the cost of a private school for his children, distant housing, and security systems, as well as health, cafeteria, daycare, and transportation expenses, which he claimed he had to pay at full price. The account also mentioned a six-month wait to see a specialist, a car that had become expensive due to ecological standards, thousands of euros in fuel taxes, and the contribution to the funding of social housing in his building. It added that Nicolas was suffering from inflation on his savings, was excluded from aid, had to hear calls for more solidarity, and was waiting three years for his children's attackers to be judged. Finally, it denounced the insults that Nicolas would suffer in public and subsidized media, before asking when he would stop participating in this system, which he described as "shit." #Impôts #Injustice #QualitéDeVie (translated)

TrashTalk estimated that the violence that occurred on Saturday overshadowed the peaceful demands of thousands of people mobilized to defend their rights. It mentioned the distress of various groups, including young people, high school students, farmers, teachers, firefighters, and nurses, and stated that some desperate young people were contemplating no longer living. The media criticized part of the press for prioritizing viewership and extreme editorial lines at the expense of these concerns. It also acknowledged the injured journalists on the ground and called on its colleagues not to let the rioters divert attention from the movement's demands. Referring to a lesson learned from its journalist parent, TrashTalk invited people to question who benefited from the situation and who triggered the violence. Finally, the media expressed its desire to use its message to support the three French basketball players who, according to it, were in the WNBA finals, asserting that it was part of its responsibilities. #Média #Responsabilité #Société (translated)
