A 14-year-old pupil has been detained by French police following a shooting incident at a school near Marseille, which resulted in injuries to two teachers. The circumstances and motives behind the attack are currently under investigation.

In parallel, a prominent centre-left figure, MEP Raphaël Glucksmann, has declared his candidacy for the 2027 French presidential election. Glucksmann, who founded the Place Publique party, has called for an "existential battle" against the far-right, specifically referencing Marine Le Pen, urging his political allies to overcome a "spirit of defeat" to prevent a far-right victory.
