French School Blockades to Restart From Monday: Student Group
Student leaders say the government’s proposals fall short as protests over prices, inequality and school conditions continue after hundreds of thousands marched Saturday.
- Following a two-week holiday, the Union Etudiante announced blockades of high schools and universities will restart on Tuesday, with spokeswoman Sabrine Kharbach confirming further protests are planned.
- France saw a third weekend of massive demonstrations on Saturday as students protested against the cost of living, deteriorating learning conditions, and inequality across the country.
- President Emmanuel Macron called for classes to resume, arguing "young people have been heard," but Pierre Sourzat of the Lyceens! group countered that the proposals amount to "smoke and mirrors."
- Sourzat dismissed the government's plan to reduce 10th-grade class sizes as insufficient, while also criticizing the university admissions platform overhaul for failing to address the shortage of places.
- Economic pressures limit the government's ability to appease protesters through additional spending, as France faces recession risks and debt constraints that force authorities to navigate fiscal boundaries.
