## Coverage angles

Both sides report the three evictions of Roma families in Saint-Denis and the challenge to their legality, but the left emphasizes the illegality of the evictions and the denounced harassment, while the right insists on the political embarrassment of Mayor Bally Bagayoko and his previous positions.

**Common ground**

- Three evictions of Roma families from private land took place on October 22 and 23 in Saint-Denis
- The evictions were carried out by the national police then the municipal police
- The families accuse the municipal police of harassment
- The legality of the interventions is contested

**Differences**

- The left affirms the illegality of the evictions as an established fact; the right presents it as a contestation reported by Le Monde
- The right highlights Bally Bagayoko's political positioning and his embarrassment, an angle absent from the left-wing article
