Impact reported that Jean-Luc Mélenchon contested live on television the comments made by Sébastien Lecornu regarding the violence that occurred during the mobilization on October 17. Mélenchon accused the government of being solely responsible and called on Emmanuel Macron to respond to social anger and the demands of young people. He rejected the idea of having to choose between looters and police, believing that the conflict was rather between a youth facing a deep crisis and a government that, according to him, allowed the situation to deteriorate before resorting to blind violence. He compared the methods used to those observed during the Yellow Vests movement and the repression in the Antilles. Mélenchon also argued that maintaining order required a professional technique rather than resorting to brutality. He cited May 1968, stating that a month of violence and car and business fires had resulted in no deaths, and referred to the republican morals of the police union leaders of the time. He concluded that the government was responsible for the disorder and that democracy should allow for managing social tensions through debate and the maintenance of tranquility. #Mélanchon #Gouvernement #Violences (translated)
