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)
