A political editorial looks back at the executive's use of influencers to reach high school students

Common points

• =The government presented a series of measures on October 26, including the gradual replacement of Parcoursup by 2028 and the cap on second-year classes at 28 students.
• =The high school student and student organizations, as well as the SNES-FSU and the Unef, judged the announcements insufficient and maintained calls for mobilization, including the November 5 strike.
• =France Insoumise called for a vote in the Assembly on Parcoursup, denouncing a "scam" according to several titles.
• =Influencers were received at Matignon before the high school and student organizations, which unions criticized.

Divergences

• ≠The left presents the measures as "crumbs" or a "smokescreen" and insists on structural problems; the right highlights François-Xavier Bellamy's criticism that the debate focuses on Parcoursup at the expense of the level of the baccalaureate.
• ≠The left describes the reception of influencers as a "denial of democracy" or a derailing communication plan; the center and the right describe it mainly as a communication operation that bypassed the unions.
• ≠The center prioritizes practical modalities and verification of claims, an angle less present in the titles of the left and right.
• ≠The right highlights the cost of 5 to 6 billion euros and the defense of Parcoursup by Jean-Michel Blanquer; the left places more emphasis on maintaining the strike and unmet expectations.
