Story angles
This event does not yet have its own comparison: here is the story's France: aftermath of the October 31 demonstrations and debates on violence.
The three sides cover the same facts (violence, injuries among the security forces, arrests, the Molotov cocktail throw), but their angles differ: the left emphasizes the scale of the mobilization and obstructions or repression, the center focuses on public order and police union reactions, and the right on “chaos”, the violence suffered by the security forces and the assault on a journalist.
Left
Emphasizes the scale of the mobilization (500,000 demonstrators, 20,000 in Nantes) despite the bans, police exhaustion raised by a union, accusations from videos targeting the CRS in Montpellier, and criticism of obstructions to demonstrating; also relays the investigation into the Molotov cocktail and damage to businesses.
Centre
Focuses coverage on public order: reactions from police unions and Didier Lallement on organizers’ responsibility, calls for firmness and arrests, investigation into the perpetrators of the Molotov cocktail, local consequences (Besançon tram, fear of demonstrating in Dijon) and the tagging of the war memorial.
Right
Insists on “chaos” and an “insurrectionary climate” denounced by Pascal Praud and Marc Silvera, on violence against the security forces (159 injured, nature of the incendiary projectile) and on the assault on a CNews journalist, with calls for tougher penalties.
Common points
- =Violence broke out on the sidelines of the October 31 demonstrations
- =A gendarme was injured in Paris at Porte de Charenton by an incendiary projectile and an investigation for attempted homicide was opened
- =159 members of the security forces were injured, according to police unions
- =Arrests and convictions followed (police custody in Nice, conviction in Reims)
Divergences
- ≠The left emphasizes the scale of the mobilization and bans/obstructions, an angle absent or treated differently on the right
- ≠The right highlights the assault on a CNews journalist and “chaos”, a subject rarely present on the left
- ≠The center relays police union criticism of organizers, while the left relays union criticism of repression and bans
- ≠The left cites videos accusing the CRS of covering far-right militias in Montpellier, an element not taken up by the other sides

Alors que les violences commises contre les policiers et les dégradations en marge des manifestations sont condamnées par une partie de la classe politique, plusieurs responsables de La France insoumise tiennent des propos qui suscitent la polémique. Si une partie de la classe politique condamne fermement les violences commises à l'encontre des policiers, ainsi que les dégradations perpétrées en marge des manifestations, La France insoumise adopte une position plus ambiguë. «On a toujours détesté la violence» C'est notamment le cas de l'eurodéputée Manon Aubry, qui s'exprimait ce lundi matin s
