Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez faced an inquiry commission on the government's management of public order during protests, with deputies questioning his responses regarding the alleged instrumentalization of anti-terrorism laws against demonstrators. The Minister was reportedly vague in his testimony, while right-wing factions focused on discrediting the commission's conclusions.
Meanwhile, high school and university students have cautiously resumed blockades following school holidays, with a renewed focus on securing significant participation from the labor sector for planned actions on November 5th. This ongoing student mobilization has also seen interference from far-right unions, which have reportedly organized violent actions and 'PR stunts' to lift blockades and gain visibility.
Further reports detail severe injuries sustained by several individuals, including Alaric, Carla, Pierre, and Lou, from various types of police grenades during recent 'against the cost of living' protests in Paris, Rennes, and Lyon. Three of these victims have not filed complaints despite their permanent injuries.
