Ten years ago, the struggle for an ambitious transition was on everyone's mind. It feels like the enthusiasm has faded. I believe that Covid changed everything. It was often said that this period was one of brotherhood and solidarity; I think it was mainly one of selfishness and retreat into our individual problems. Since then, people are concerned about remote work and leisure, but no one thinks about the climate anymore. The same applies to public authorities: which ones still care? Who sits around a table to think about the medium term? Take the renovation of buildings by municipalities: this policy has disappeared. #Climat #Bruxelles #Manifestation (translated)

Impact wrote that Evan, 15, who had lost a hand in the explosion of a police grenade in Lens, denied having picked it up, contrary to what the prosecution had claimed. According to the author, the teenager, injured on Monday, October 5, during a high school protest, also contested any involvement in violence, according to his lawyer. Impact added that this version had been widely relayed by the media, sometimes presented as established, while witnesses had contested it from the day of the events. The lawyer denounced, according to the author, a position of the prosecution formulated before Evan's hearing and in the absence of a video of the explosion. The teenager's mother had filed a complaint and the investigation by the IGPN was ongoing to establish the circumstances of the tragedy. #JusticePourEvan #LutteContreLaViolence #DroitsDesJeunes (translated)

Charlotte Rocher accused Mathilde Panot of spitting on the symbol of the fight against breast cancer and crossing, in her opinion, a new line in the conflictualization of society. She wrote that, despite the contempt she claimed to feel for Panot, the gesture had personally affected her: her mother had learned in May that she had breast cancer. Rocher defended the pink ribbon, believing it could remind that awareness and screening save lives, and expressed her hostility towards LFI. #CancerDuSein #Sensibilisation #RubanRose (translated)

Bally Bagayoko explained that his group abstained during the vote on a wish presented by the opposition elected officials from the Socialist, Environmentalists, and Citizens group at the municipal council. The text focused on the protection of girls and women against excision and female genital mutilation, as well as the adoption of a comprehensive law against sexist and sexual violence (SSV). He said that his group supported the fight against mutilations and reminded that nearly 500 patients received follow-up each year in the municipality. He also praised the work of the Women's House, Delafontaine Hospital, and various associations, and asked the State to strengthen the resources allocated for prevention and medical follow-up. According to Bally Bagayoko, the abstention concerned the request to quickly adopt the law on SSV. He indicated that the bill had been significantly amended in committee at the National Assembly the week of the municipal council, and its content remained uncertain. His group had asked to remove references to this law from the wish in order to be able to vote in favor of the text on the fight against excision, but the opposition had refused, he wrote. He believed that this refusal had hindered the pursuit of an agreement and denounced a political instrumentalization of the issue. The group ultimately abstained in order not to block the wish, which was adopted, while not supporting all of its content, he noted. #Excision #DroitsDesFemmes #LutteContreLesViolences (translated)

Bally Bagayoko presented the launch of the Hip-Hop and Urban Cultures Festival of the New Town of Saint-Denis–Pierrefitte-sur-Seine as an evening focused on creation, commitment, and hope. He said that the city aimed to maintain a strong cultural ambition despite a difficult political and social context, which weakened local communities and tested cultural policies. He described culture as a right and a means of emancipation, and hip-hop and urban cultures as spaces for expression, encounter, and solidarity. According to him, the evening also allowed for affirming support for the mobilization of high school students on October 17. Bagayoko advocated for a convergence of struggles and generations around social justice, equality, dignity, and access to culture. #HipHop #CulturesUrbaines #SaintDenis #PierrefitteSurSeine #CulturePourToutesEtTous #Jeunesse #ConvergenceDesLuttes #FaireRenaîtreLEspoir #HipHop #CulturesUrbaines #Culture (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)
