The three sides cover the judicial aftermath and violence on October 24, but with different angles: the left focuses on police violence and far-right violence, the centre on procedures and fact-checking, the right on businesses, upcoming demonstrations and security.

Left

Emphasises the investigation in Rouen after a police projectile was fired near children, protesters' accusations in Clermont-Ferrand regarding police failure to intervene against the far-right, and an bystander's injury in Lyon. Also presents the Nice hearing from the perspective of far-right defendants' statements.

Centre

Emphasises judicial procedures and fact-checking: the investigation in Rouen, hearings in Nice and Dijon, clarifications or corrections. Also reports political statements and merchant representatives' positions, as well as calls to demonstrate.

Right

Emphasises consequences for businesses, including looting, reduced turnover and proposals to preserve businesses, as well as upcoming social mobilisations. Stresses releases in Nice and testimonies or analyses related to self-defence, social media and protest control.

Common points

=Violence marred demonstrations in several cities on October 24.
=In Rouen, an investigation was opened after a police tear gas grenade was fired near children.
=In Nice, ten suspects linked to the far-right were released pending trial.
=Judicial procedures or justice referrals were announced in several cities after the events.

Divergences

≠The left focuses on violence or aggression attributed to the far-right and questions on police action; the right presents in Nice men suspected of 'punitive expedition', and in an article, groups coming to 'protect merchants from the far-left'.
≠The left insists on the police projectile near children in Rouen and on injuries to protesters or bystanders; the right focuses more on looting, merchants' turnover decline and self-defence risks.
≠The centre prioritises judicial facts, hearings and fact-checking, while the left and right orient their headlines more towards political actors, commercial consequences or upcoming demonstrations.
