Violence and Obstruction Against Journalists During the November 2026 Protests

On November 5, 2026, during the protest in Paris on Rue de Rivoli, journalist Jordan Florentin (100% Frontière/CNews) was targeted by projectiles and booed by high school students, before being ordered by police to stop his "provocations." The following day, two journalists from Politis announced they were filing a complaint for police violence, AFP denounced assaults against its journalists, and a Ouest-France journalist was sprayed with tear gas in Quimper. In the following days, a CRS officer confronted Jordan Florentin, while journalists in Lyon raised alarms about the deterioration of their working conditions, and an editorial condemned the violence. On November 10, about a dozen journalists filed a collective complaint for police violence, supported by an inter-union body, and RSF recorded 71 obstructed journalists since the start of the mobilization. On November 11, Minister Catherine Vautrin condemned a "real threat to democracy," and four journalists' unions filed a complaint against unknown perpetrators after police obstruction.
