00:00:14They observe alert, they
00:00:18testify, film,
00:00:20photography, they are the voice of the
00:00:23voiceless, they are your eyes around the
00:00:26world, the observers. A network of
00:00:305000 public and private citizens were called to strike.
00:00:34What is the government's response? Political scientist Emmanuel Échivar is our
00:00:37guest. Panic in the European sky, once again
00:00:41this week, air traffic was disrupted by false bomb alerts,
00:00:45a dozen this Thursday morning alone. Several flights had to be
00:00:49diverted. And then Israeli President Isaac
00:00:53since the absence of Herzog continues his consultations for the formation of a government, one week after the
00:00:57legislative elections. It is the centrist Gady Eisencrot,
00:01:00Benjamin Netanyahu's main rival, who holds the
00:01:40The mobilization was generally peaceful, a new day of
00:01:43demonstrations this Thursday in France against the high cost of living for
00:01:47jobs and wages, high school students and university students who
00:01:50have been denouncing their study conditions since mid-September came to swell
00:01:54the ranks of private sector and public sector employees who were called to
00:01:58stop work, Marie Schuster for France 24, the gathering,
00:02:02Place de la Nation here
00:02:03in
00:02:12Paris. A demonstration which, apart from some sporadic skirmishes, took place
00:02:16peacefully, there were however many, many people present
00:02:20in this Parisian procession on Thursday to such an extent that the end of the
00:02:23procession was blocked at Place de la République while the first demonstrators were already arriving
00:02:27at Place de la Nation 3 km further. The slogan of this
00:02:30gathering was indeed the convergence of struggles, within this procession, we met all
00:02:33generations, all situations, teachers, caregivers, firefighters
00:02:37who came to defend public services, but also private sector employees, retirees who came in
00:02:41support of students who had also made the trip, all denouncing degraded
00:02:45living and working conditions marked by staff shortages, they
00:02:48demand wage increases and overall an
00:02:52increase in purchasing power, economic demands that are combined with
00:02:55protests against police violence and against racism,
00:02:59particularly following the Trappes attack a few
00:03:02days ago, and to talk about it, Emmanuel Échivard, good evening, you
00:03:06are a political scientist, professor at Sciences Po Paris, thank you for being with us this
00:03:10evening, uh we saw a fairly massive mobilization throughout
00:03:13the hexagon, what does that show, it shows a convergence of struggles,
00:03:17a convergence of anger also since that's what Marie Chuster said, there are
00:03:20economic and social
00:03:23demands,
00:03:26yes, so it's a convergence of anger and it's a
00:03:30convergence of politics, meaning I think
00:03:34we have truly entered the presidential campaign, in
00:03:37reality, uh I think that we
00:03:41haven't finished seeing processions uh
00:03:44and that it's not a small salary conference or
00:03:48a few points, I don't know, added professors who
00:03:51will, who will bring everyone in, in fact here
00:03:55the presidential election is starting to be played, meaning that
00:03:58for example, I have students and when I talk to them
00:04:01in fact they talk to me about the presidential election, they talk to me
00:04:04about who they don't want to see in power, who they are going to
00:04:07vote for, you see, things have
00:04:10to stop at for now the started and in fact there
00:04:12the the the was no presidential campaign in 2022, well it's starting a little
00:04:14earlier than usual and a little stronger, so you referred to
00:04:18this social conference which will be
00:04:21You are still on France 24, the rest of held at Matignon on Monday with Sébastien Lecornu, the unions and
00:04:25the employers, and if I understand you correctly, this movement that has been going on for
00:04:28more than 3 weeks now is going to
00:04:31last,
00:04:34it is going to last and transform itself. So social
00:04:38movements, uh no one controls them, especially when they
00:04:42start with young people, but uh uh
00:04:45and when the unions are not in the front line, but
00:04:49are first of all, uh following uh so
00:04:52uh it seems to me that the demonstrators are not addressing the
00:04:56government, meaning that people are intelligent, they have understood
00:05:00that the government does not really have control, that we are at the end of the term of a
00:05:04very weak government, a government that does not have a majority, and
00:05:07so it is rather to those who will come,
00:05:11that is to say to the campaign, that is to say to those who will have the
00:05:14reins in 6 months that all this movement
00:05:18is expressing itself, so I
00:05:21I fear that the social conference on
00:05:24Monday will be a way for the government to try to
00:05:27respond but will not be able to achieve this kind
00:05:30of objective, except that between now and 6 months, perhaps something
00:05:34needs to be done. How can this government, which as you recalled,
00:05:37has no majority, no budget either,
00:05:41precisely because of this limited room for manoeuvre,
00:05:44do something? As you said, the
00:05:48promises made to high school students, which by the way did not convince, what is
00:05:52next for these next six months?
00:05:55Well, we have been in political crisis
00:05:59since 2024, since
00:06:02the failed dissolution,
00:06:05the government's lack of majority, so we are in political
00:06:09crisis, we are even perhaps in a regime crisis.
00:06:13Because for example, we are not certain that the presidential election
00:06:16will resolve things since there are legislative elections afterwards and we are not
00:06:20even sure that the legislative elections will lead to a true majority, so we are in
00:06:23political crisis and a regime crisis, so uh
00:06:27unfortunately uh crises crises
00:06:30they last, uh crises then they metamorphose, they transform,
00:06:34we probably won't have every week uh 1 million
00:06:37people in the streets uh
00:06:40but we are entering a
00:06:43situation, a rather formidable situation
00:06:47indeed because there is something a bit tragic
00:06:50uh everything converges to the absence of
00:06:53solutions, so it's really a tragic situation in fact, everything converges to the absence of solutions,
00:06:57there's no money, there's no majority,
00:06:59there's life becoming more and more
00:07:03expensive, there's a presidential election in 6
00:07:05months, so I keep trying, I keep trying
00:07:09to examine what I would do if... prime
00:07:12ministers, uh in fact, if you want
00:07:16Emmanuel Macron should have resigned in
00:07:182024 because he had no majority because
00:07:22and and should have had a presidential election at that time,
00:07:26since in fact we are in political crisis so there will be no satisfactory
00:07:29solution, so we can pretend a little
00:07:32uh we can have roundtables, we
00:07:36can have Grenelles uh of
00:07:39salary, we can have Grenelles of the high cost of living, uh but but
00:07:43in fact there's no way to make real
00:07:46decisions, especially if the
00:07:49government, the executive in general, as you recalled, with this
00:07:52presidential election approaching, makes
00:07:56promises, it's not certain either that they will be kept afterwards by
00:08:00its successors because these are measures that for the most part are not done in
00:08:03a few days or a few weeks but in several
00:08:06months, yes, so it is precisely
00:08:10for this reason that uh we must realize that the
00:08:13demonstrators are not talking to the government in fact, they are talking
00:08:17to the various candidates,
00:08:20they are talking to the political world in general, which party
00:08:23do you think or in any case which political
00:08:27trend could most benefit from,
00:08:30profit from this social crisis, from
00:08:34this large-scale
00:08:35mobilization?
00:08:38Well, for now, we see very clearly on one side the
00:08:41party of the N.F., so it's the National Rally, and on the other
00:08:45side, the only party that
00:08:48has worked, and then there's youth especially, there's youth
00:08:52C.G.T., so we see that, that's the two, then
00:08:55after that there's what we call the central camp, but which currently
00:08:59first of all between the conservative right of Retailleau
00:09:02and then the the the
00:09:05Macronism, the neo-Macronism of Attal, there's not much
00:09:09connection, so it's missing a voice.
00:09:13For now, we can't find it, a voice that is sufficiently
00:09:16elevated to give everyone a global image and not
00:09:20just, you see,
00:09:24this central space stops at small
00:09:28projects, so we talk about
00:09:31security, immigration, there is no idea of what image we want for
00:09:35France, we know on one side order, on the other
00:09:39side we know a rather revolutionary form, in any case, of...
00:09:42yes, of renewal of political institutions
00:09:45for the central bloc, we have no ideas,
00:09:48so will there be a personality who will
00:09:52impose themselves, I heard on your set someone before who said that for
00:09:56now they won't impose themselves and those who are there, the
00:10:00candidates of the current central bloc are
00:10:03not succeeding, are not making an impression, and will there be another way,
00:10:07someone who will be ready to talk
00:10:09about it, build a dialogue with the party and youth before
00:10:13the presidential elections, uh well we'll have to wait and see, wait and see, but it's
00:10:17quite fascinating, it's quite fascinating and
00:10:20quite tragic, that's what I think
00:10:23history is called, thank you very much. Emmanuel Échivard, political scientist,
00:10:26professor at Sciences Po Rennes, sorry, thank you for answering our
00:10:30questions tonight, from Italy to Finland, via France
00:10:33or the Czech Republic, no less than a
00:10:36dozen flights were disrupted this Thursday morning, this is the third
00:10:40time in a week due to false bomb alerts, it is not known if
00:10:44they are linked, the fact remains that some planes had to be
00:10:47diverted, like the one connecting Dublin to Rome
00:10:50(Mambougo)
00:10:54the passengers of... This plane was supposed to land in Rome,
00:10:57they are on the tarmac of the Evreux military base in the hour,
00:11:01their aircraft was diverted this morning due to a bomb
00:11:05alert. The plane is diverted to the nearest field that
00:11:09can accommodate it, in this case, it must have been the Evreux field which is a military
00:11:12field, once the plane is on the ground, demining
00:11:16operators intervene. On board, there were
00:11:19151 passengers and six crew members. It is almost
00:11:238am this morning when... their airliner, an A320 of the
00:11:27Air Lingus company, took off from Dublin, heading for Rome, but after
00:11:31an hour of flight, the aircraft changed trajectory, it was then
00:11:36pilots,
00:11:39air and space force thus took off to proceed with
00:11:43the interception of this civil aircraft in the Paris sector,
00:11:46then its internment to air base 105 in Evreux
00:11:49Fauville, for now no information has been given on
00:11:53the origin of the alert. This is not the only plane that was targeted this morning
00:11:57by a bomb alert, there would be at least 11 others, and
00:12:00last Tuesday already, Ryanair flights were subject to
00:12:03threats, this is the case of this aircraft connecting Manchester to Murcia in Spain.
00:13:02That was the weather with Group ama, a mutual insurer committed to
00:13:06forest protection for almost 100
00:13:08years.
00:13:10Group Group always there for me.
00:13:13RFI and France 24 present all French
00:13:17political life in Tuesday Politics, facing Rosine Fèvre
00:13:21and Rivière, a personality answers live.
00:13:25Now Tuesday Politics, your appointment with French
00:13:29political news to listen to on RFI and watch on France
00:13:3224.
00:13:40What is equal opportunities? At "Faites le Mur",
00:13:44equal opportunities means offering everyone the same possibilities to achieve their potential
00:13:47regardless of their origins. It means giving everyone
00:13:51the same keys to success. Why should our birthplace dictate who we
00:13:55are? Why should coming from a particular neighborhood influence our unwavering future?
00:13:58We continue to train, to forge new bonds and savor every
00:14:02moment. We have discovered a path to fulfillment, finding our place in
00:14:06society, all thanks to sport. At "Faites le Mur", equal
00:14:09opportunities is sport.
00:14:46the essential with this question, who will be responsible
00:14:50for forming a government in Israel? No majority emerged
00:14:54from last week's legislative elections, and President Isaac
00:14:58Herzog continues his consultations. The
00:15:00centrist Gady Eisenkost seems to be in a strong position,
00:15:03especially, Stéphanamar from Jerusalem, good evening, that Benjamin
00:15:07Netanyahu was abandoned by a long-time
00:15:09ally.
00:15:12Yes, absolutely, the Orthodox
00:15:15party Achenas, the Union for Judaism and Torah
00:15:19which governs alongside Benjamin Netanyahu, who
00:15:22participated in all his recent coalitions, announced that it would
00:15:26support neither Benjamin Netanyahu nor Gady
00:15:30Eisenkot, but of course, this is a handicap for the Israeli
00:15:33Prime Minister because it further reduces the members.
