Joan Larroumec believed that Jean-Luc Mélenchon's success with young people revealed their lack of future prospects. According to him, the current system favored older generations in accessing the best jobs and housing, while young people paid high retirement contributions without being able to hope for a comparable pension. He also stated that the level of taxation made it difficult to become wealthy through work and that inheritance inequalities perpetuated social status gaps. Larroumec said that the threat of artificial intelligence was a major concern neglected by politicians. He cited the United States, where, in his view, the employment of 22-25 year-olds in jobs exposed to AI was already about 19% below its trajectory. He predicted that companies would hire less and prioritize protecting their existing employees, often older, and questioned the future of highly educated young people without jobs. He added that young people were waiting for politicians to offer a vision of a desirable and fair life in France for the coming decades, as well as clear rules of the game. According to him, the old path of studying, finding a good job, buying an apartment, and advancing based on merit no longer existed, and no one on the political scene was living up to those expectations. #jeunesse #inégalités #avenir (translated)

Actu Foot reported that Bixente Lizarazu believed Kylian Mbappé was very effective in front of goal but contributed little defensively. He suggested that this could explain Zinédine Zidane's decision to place him on the left side and align Ousmane Dembélé centrally. According to Lizarazu, Dembélé was particularly suited to the high pressing desired by Zidane, but a striker for the French team needed to score more. He stated that Zidane should be trusted to find the right formula during an interview broadcast on Téléfoot. https://t.co/Hx59gqsz4v #Mbappé #Dembélé #Bleus (translated)

Press Briefs reported nearly 7,000 police custody cases, 86% of which involved minors, and indicated that the majority had not led to legal proceedings at this stage. The account described these arrests as a massive and unprecedented measure aimed at containing the mobilization of young people. Several cited observers viewed this as a form of intimidation, while Press Briefs believed this practice infringed on the right to protest and risked normalizing disproportionate police and judicial responses. The account added that the preventive use of police custody had already been documented during the Yellow Vests movement. Relying on independent press articles, Press Briefs relayed testimonies from high school students reporting violent detention conditions, symptoms of post-traumatic stress, forced undressings, and physical or psychological violence. A 15-year-old reportedly recounted being slammed against a concrete bed and hit on the head by police and then insulted. A complaint had been filed, according to the account, which also indicated that the police prefecture had not responded to Mediapart's questions about the reported statements. Mohammed, a 16-year-old high school student in Saint-Denis, reportedly stated that police had hit the bars of his cell during the night to wake up the detainees and had targeted him with a racist insult. The mother of Noham, also 16, claimed that her son had been hit in the liver and face after asking why he had been arrested. Adam's mother also denounced violence against young protesters. Press Briefs added that several teenage girls and boys reported sexist and racist remarks from police, and complaints had been filed. Anne Savinel-Barras, president of Amnesty International France, expressed her concern over the repression of the student movement, believing that the young people's demands for education and health were met with prohibitions on demonstrations and disproportionate police violence. The NGO stated that it would support people peacefully protesting and defend the right to demonstrate. The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights also expressed concern about the situation in France and notably called for a proportional use of force. #jeunesse #manifestation #répression (translated)

Alexandre Jardin called for the dismissal of deputies who, according to him, were quietly proposing amendments aimed at increasing taxes. He stated that taxpayers were at their breaking point and that the country was already the most taxed in the world, citing François Hollande as one of the responsible parties he pointed out. He also argued that high-ranking officials elected to lead parties that favored tax increases lived off public spending and had a fundamentally taxing approach. According to him, citizens found themselves in an impossible situation because they had handed over the keys to power. He finally concluded that, without RefCitoyen, they would remain defenseless. #Taxes #Politique #France (translated)
