Story summary
French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu warned against escalating school protests after 164 people were arrested on Monday, following demonstrations by high school students across France over issues like overcrowded classes and teacher shortages. The movement began in Paris last week and has since spread to cities including Lille, Nantes, and Marseille. On Tuesday, clashes between masked students and police erupted in several locations, with some protesters setting fire to bins and throwing projectiles at law enforcement, who responded with teargas and batons. According to Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez, 48 police officers were injured during the protests on Monday and Tuesday, while 10 students and staff members sustained injuries. Nationwide, around 300 schools were affected by demonstrations or disruptions, leading to a total of over 400 arrests, mostly minors. The protests coincide with strikes by public sector workers demanding higher pay and better working conditions due to planned budget cuts by the government.
