Alexa Lavoie interviews marchers before the police barricades become the center of her Paris report. Jean-Luc Mélenchon appears near the front of the demonstration, while deputy mayor Jean-Baptiste Lachenal argues that the heavy police presence is intended to suppress dissent.
Later, bottles fly toward police lines and officers deploy tear gas and water cannons near Place de la Nation. Lavoie coughs and tears up as she continues reporting. The footage also captures a bystander stopping demonstrators from taking a homeless person's belongings to burn.
Posted as "Rioters Have Taken Over France", the report was the most-watched of Rebel News' fifteen uploads this week, reaching roughly 107,000 views. Its street interviews give space to protesters' explanations of their politics as well as the confrontations that dominate the title.
Canadian stories filled much of the rest of the lineup. Ezra Levant reacted to Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation Chief Allan Adam's warning about potential support for the NDP over major-projects legislation. Drew Sylver asked Jewish Montrealers about safety and whether they planned to remain in Canada.
Across the channel, subscribers were unchanged and the library added about 2.7 million views over the week. Daily viewing is now less than half its usual pace. Among similarly sized political channels, Breaking Points and HasanAbi had substantially busier viewing weeks, while Triggernometry's weekly gain was close to Rebel News'.
The freshest momentum belongs to Canadian coverage: a report about a former school bus driver's human rights complaint is currently attracting the most daily views, followed by the channel's scrutiny of Canada's relationship with Brussels at the Montreal EU summit.
French left-wing politician and de facto leader of La France Insoumise, the party founded in 2016. He has run for president three times and announced another bid for 2027.
