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)

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)

The author noted that Pedro Passos Coelho would give an interview to Maria João Avillez on SIC Notícias, between 9 PM and 10 PM, and argued that his governance should be reassessed in light of the financial conditions he encountered. According to the author, Portugal had already requested external assistance when Passos Coelho arrived at the Government in 2011, and the adjustment program of 78 billion euros had been negotiated before he took office. He maintained that during the legislature, exports rose from about one-third of GDP to nearly 40% in 2015, including tourism, and that the tourism sector gained strategic momentum. Regarding privatizations, he acknowledged that some operations were questionable and warranted scrutiny but argued that they allowed the collection of billions of euros, the amortization of public debt, and reduce financing needs and interest burdens. He also considered that cuts in the public sector were painful but questioned what the alternatives would have been when the State could no longer finance itself normally. The author further highlighted that Portugal completed the financial assistance program in 2014 and returned to market financing without a precautionary program, recovering, in his view, decision-making leeway. He stated that Passos Coelho was the most relevant politician of the century in Portugal for having made unpopular decisions and contributed to an economic change whose effects surpassed his Government. #Portugal #Política #Economia (translated)
