Aurore Bergé, the French minister for Equality between Women and Men and the Fight against Discrimination, stated on France 2 that the social mobilization of high school students, particularly in the Seine-Saint-Denis department, has created risks for students and law enforcement due to calls for insurrection by Jean-Luc Mélenchon, a prominent political figure. According to a survey in Seine-Saint-Denis, three-quarters of young people in the region say they have experienced discrimination, mainly racism. Bergé emphasized that the mobilization should not mix issues of discrimination with those of education, stating that school is a means of social advancement. She also mentioned the beginning of a debate in the National Assembly on a comprehensive law against sexual and gender-based violence. Bergé noted that the government is committed to ensuring that financial resources do not become an obstacle to adopting this law. An amendment to the budget has been proposed to guarantee the necessary funding. The organization Osez le féminisme! has stated that it will fight to ensure the law is passed. Meanwhile, the mayor of Saint-Denis, Bally Bagayoko, reiterated his comments on "legitimate violence" in the blocking of high schools, while calling for "de-escalation." The LFI deputy Louis Boyard defended the students, saying they "are waiting for political answers." Incidents have also been reported, including a student injured by a LBD (Less Lethal Device) shot in Tours and a blockade at the Paul Éluard High School in Saint-Denis. The LR senator Max Brisson reacted to the "lessons" given by Jordan Bardella, the leader of the National Rally (RN), on antisemitism. President Emmanuel Macron judged "grave and unacceptable" the antisemitic writings attributed to Bardella.
