> On November 5, journalist Jordan Florentin, from 100% Frontière and CNews, was targeted by projectiles on rue de Rivoli in Paris while he was doing a live report, and was booed by high school students upon his arrival near the demonstration. Still in Paris, law enforcement officers asked him to stop his "provocations" on the sidelines of the mobilization. On November 6, a Politis journalist and a colleague announced they would file a complaint after police violence during the Paris demonstration, while an altercation between police officers and gendarmes was reported. AFP condemned the assaults on its journalists and requested guarantees for their physical integrity, and in Quimper, an Ouest-France journalist was sprayed with tear gas by a member of law enforcement, a report having been sent to the prosecutor.
