Violence against journalists during the November 2026 demonstrations

On 5 November 2026, during the Paris demonstration on Rue de Rivoli, journalist Jordan Florentin (100% Frontière/CNews) was targeted by projectiles and booed, before being reprimanded by law‑enforcement forces. The next day, two journalists, including a reporter from Politis, announced they would file a complaint for police violence, while AFP denounced assaults against its journalists and an altercation between police and gendarmes was reported; in Quimper, a journalist from Ouest‑France was sprayed with tear gas. On 8 November, a CRS officer confronted Jordan Florentin during the same Paris demonstration. On 10 November, about a dozen journalists filed a collective complaint backed by an inter‑union coalition, with RSF recording 71 journalists hindered since the start of the mobilization, 52 cases attributed to law‑enforcement forces.
