French media on September 24th was dominated by the stabbing of a teacher by a 14-year-old student in Bas-Rhin, an incident that quickly escalated throughout the day. Early reports confirmed the attack and the student's arrest, with subsequent details revealing the suspect's fascination with Nazism and weapons. The student's vital prognosis was later reported as engaged.
Concurrently, labor unions announced a new mobilization day for October 2nd following what they deemed unproductive budget talks with Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu. His acknowledged position as "the weakest Prime Minister" was also noted. The ongoing trial of Cédric Jubillar and the anticipation of the Sarkozy-Kadhafi trial verdict maintained a consistent presence in the news.
