Press Briefs reported that Evan, 15 years old, had his hand blown off by a grenade thrown by law enforcement on Monday in Lens, during a high school mobilization. The media indicated that the prosecutor initially claimed that the teenager had picked up the grenade, a version relayed by several major media outlets, including continuous news channels, but Evan denied it. According to Press Briefs, witnesses had challenged this version from the first day to the local radio Ici, formerly France Bleu. They reportedly said that the grenade exploded near Evan without him having picked it up. The media also indicated that the teenager's mother had filed a complaint for her son's injuries. Press Briefs questioned the media treatment given to the version from the prosecutor or the police when it serves as the main source of a narrative. The media added that earlier in the week, it had questioned a journalist from a major national channel in charge of police-justice cases about a framing based solely on police sources despite contradictory witness testimonies. According to Press Briefs, the journalist did not respond. #Lens #Evan #Médiatique (translated)

Més Blaugrana indicated that RMTV had reignited the controversy over refereeing and the Negreira affair, calling a 1-0 victory against Villarreal an achievement as early as the 8th matchday. According to the account, RMTV had denounced refereeing in a La Liga that it deemed corrupt due to this affair and described Real Madrid as "against everyone and against everything." It also argued that Diomandé's goal was valid and had been disallowed for a non-existent offside, while Vinicius's goal had been ruled out after an action that, according to them, would not have been penalized as a foul under other circumstances. #arbitrage #Liga #Negreira (translated)

Alain Soral Official considered that the Bardella affair had the merit of making the French understand that anti-Semitism, in his view, referred to the revelation of a disturbing truth, regardless of the renunciations and lies he attributed to Bardella. He also claimed that, in the Epstein and Gaza cases, the fight against anti-Semitism increasingly meant fighting against good and truth, and asked how long this situation could last. He labeled the rest as lies. #Antisémitisme #Vérité #LuttecontrelAntisémitisme (translated)

In every village, in every neighborhood, there are monuments, sometimes in a pitiful state, that need some revitalization. They are precious witnesses of our past," emphasizes Ben Weyts, notably citing the statue of the priest-worker Adolf Daens in Alost, which has been recently restored. Our buildings and landscapes tell the stories of those who came before us. Some are buried in oblivion, others are part of the collective memory. By telling them, we bring the stories of yesterday and today to life. We want to keep the history of Flanders alive and continue, all together, to write it. The preservation of Flemish artistic heritage is the responsibility of all. Regional authorities cannot bear this responsibility alone. #Flandre #Patrimoine #Culture (translated)

Le Canard enchaîné wrote that Jordan Bardella contradicted himself in the case of antisemitic remarks by claiming he had not used Facebook for a long time and could no longer access his old private messages. The weekly magazine assured that the president of the RN had nonetheless logged into one of his personal accounts between September 28 and October 2 in order to delete all data, and described his defense as unconvincing. https://t.co/XC3kgNUm25 #Antisémitisme #JordanBardella #Politique (translated)

Momar Assane called on President Bassirou Diomaye Faye, Ousmane Sonko, Me Matar Cissé, and the prosecutor of the Republic to shed light on the death of Abdoulaye Ba. He wrote that eight months had passed without the truth being established and that the family, relatives, and public opinion were awaiting answers. Assane reminded that Sonko had stated in the National Assembly that he was involved in the decision-making chain. He also indicated that the prosecutor had said at his last press conference that investigations were ongoing but regretted the lack of concrete actions since that announcement. He cited the statements of Makhtar Cissé, presented as the Minister of National Interior, on the respect of the law by the defense and security forces and the refusal to put the authority of the State at the service of particular interests. Assane believed that justice should be able to exercise its mission independently and promised to reiterate this requirement every 9th of the month until clear answers were obtained. #JusticePourAbdoulayeBa #Vérité #Sénégal (translated)
