Story angles

This event does not yet have its own comparison: here is the story's In France, appeals and criticisms against obstructions to the right to demonstrate.

Left-wing and center media highlight criticisms of counter-terrorism measures targeting protesters and the judicial decision disavowing them, while right-wing media emphasize the mobilization of the counter-terrorism arsenal to neutralize radical and violent profiles.

Left

Denunciation of an authoritarian turn, infringement on the freedom to demonstrate and misuse of counter-terrorism against left-wing activists, with emphasis on appeals and the court decision unfavorable to the executive.

Centre

Explanation of how Micas work and emphasis on criticisms from lawyers, magistrates and NGOs denouncing the conflation of terrorism and activism, while reporting individual cases.

Right

Presentation of the measures as a means of neutralizing violent and radical profiles before demonstrations, relying on confidential documents and figures on monitored individuals.

Common points

  • =Individual administrative control and surveillance measures (Micas) have been used to prevent people from demonstrating around October 31.
  • =These measures are inherited from the state of emergency and mobilize the counter-terrorism arsenal.
  • =Appeals have been filed and the administrative courts have examined or disavowed some of these measures.

Divergences

  • ≠The left and center emphasize the infringement on the freedom to demonstrate and the authoritarian nature of the measures, while the right highlights the need to neutralize violent and radical profiles.
  • ≠The left and center cite criticisms from lawyers, magistrates and NGOs against the conflation of terrorism and activism, absent from right-wing coverage.
  • ≠The right stresses that the Interior Ministry assumes these measures and has confidential instructions, while the left and center report that the ministry did not appear in court to justify them.
