It is starting to regain the tweet internationally, and it is a very good thing that people around the world can become aware of the level of repression exercised by the French police (often cited as the deadliest in Europe). (translated)
It's far too serious. This is the culmination of an authoritarian and conspiratorial turn, and we should see that it's here to justify in advance brutal repression, in addition to the criminalization of leftist organizations that is taking shape. (translated)
This young policewoman, hunted by a horde that screams its hatred, thrown to the ground and beaten, is a sign of the worst that will happen without uncompromising repression! (translated)

The social and political left, in solidarity with the high school movement, needs to meet as soon as possible to discuss means of unitedly supporting the mobilization of youth, protecting them against repression, and participating in amplifying the social unrest that is rising across the country. (translated)
The whole country is deeply shocked. Shocked to see a high school girl being strangled. Shocked to see a high school boy lose all his teeth after being shot with tear gas. Shocked to see a 16-year-old lose an eye after being shot with a LBD. This police repression is the shame of Macron. (translated)
The novelty is not that the left is using high school and university students for their own ends. It's that with the "new France," what would have been limited to a bit of damage and a few tags with the old one can now turn into a national riot of the 2023 type. At the same time, the government does not want to bear the political cost of a fierce crackdown on "high school students." (translated)
They are overwhelmed only because they chose the strategy of repression; if they had chosen a strategy of communication and protection, there would be no problem. (translated)

I am learning via an AFP dispatch that the police prefect of Paris has sent a report concerning me to the public prosecutor of Bobigny in the context of the high school mobilizations. I take note of this and I will naturally respond to any request from the judiciary. This report seeks to lend credibility to a controversy based on truncated quotes and biased videos. Facts, however, are stubborn and prove that violence is not our method of action. Each of my visits to the various blockades has sought to ensure safe and serene conditions for young people so that they can express their demands. That is the essential matter and nothing should distract us from it. These demands call for a political response, not for silence or repression. And, whatever happens, I will continue to stand by their side, peacefully and firmly. (translated)
