Story angles
This event does not yet have its own comparison: here is the story's In France, activists prevented from demonstrating by counter-terrorism measures.
The left highlights an 'authoritarian shift' and the diversion of counter-terrorism against activists, while the centre mainly relays criticism from lawyers and local cases, and the right presents the measures as a way to neutralise violent and radical profiles.
Left
Denunciation of an authoritarian turn, of an assimilation between terrorism and activism (anti-fascism, ecology, trade unionism), and emphasis on the appeals by the CGT, Unef and the LDH as well as the profiles of those targeted.
Centre
Relay of criticism from lawyers and NGOs about a 'diversion' of the law and an assimilation between terrorism and activism, with local cases (Nord, Drôme) and testimonies from targeted activists.
Right
Presentation of MICAS as a mechanism aimed at neutralising the most violent and radical profiles before the demonstrations, with the figure of about 75 people concerned.
Common points
- =Use of administrative measures based on counter-terrorism (MICAS) targeting individuals around the 31 October and 1 November demonstrations
- =About 75 people subject to surveillance measures
- =Lawyers and organisations denounce an assimilation between terrorism and activism
- =Cases reported in several departments and in Marseille
Divergences
- ≠The left and centre speak of a diversion of counter-terrorism and infringements on the right to demonstrate, whereas the right presents these measures as a neutralisation of violent profiles
- ≠The left highlights the appeals by unions and the LDH and the notion of an 'authoritarian shift', an angle absent from the right-wing articles provided
- ≠The lifting of a ban by the Poitiers administrative court is mentioned in the file but does not appear in the right-wing headlines/excerpts
