FRENCHRAPUS presented several claims that he said were made during the demonstration on October 17. They concerned, in particular, purchasing power, with increases in wages, an adjustment of the minimum wage, and a reduction in prices, as well as education and studies, with better conditions, more resources, and more places at university, a reform of scholarships, and a re-evaluation of Parcoursup and MonMaster. He also cited demands regarding the protection and support of employees, people with disabilities, and job seekers, as well as unemployment compensation. In the field of health, he mentioned the need for more medical staff and better reimbursement for healthcare. For overseas territories, he mentioned demands for a reduction in the cost of living and flight tickets, an increase in wages, and improvements to the water supply network.

Finally, FRENCHRAPUS indicated that the demands included better consideration of testimonials, support for victims of violence, and harsher penalties in cases of serious misconduct or intentional endangerment.

Dividend King described a climate he deemed particularly negative in France. He wrote that the entrepreneurs he knew were considering leaving, although many, in his view, would not follow through. He also indicated that the tax advisors and wealth managers he spoke with received numerous requests for expatriation from their clients, a trend that had supposedly increased since the dissolution of the Assembly and would accelerate as the presidential election approached. He specified that these clients held fortunes in the range of 7, 8, or 9 figures. The author added that many university students he had recently discussed with wanted to start their professional lives abroad, even if not all would realize this project. In the stock market, he estimated that French investors were increasingly turning away from companies in the CAC 40 in favor of global or American markets, and that the recent performance of these markets justified their decisions. He finally said he had never observed, in his lifetime, such a negative sentiment at so many levels and expected the trend to continue. #entrepreneuriat #expatriation #france (translated)
