President Emmanuel Macron convened a crisis meeting on Tuesday to discuss the growing protests on the grounds of discontent about the conditions of educational units, reports the French press. Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu, Minister of the Interior Laurent Nunez and Education Minister Edouard Geffray, to attend the meeting, reported BFMTV and Le Monde and Le Parisien newspapers.
It began with high school students shouting about dilapidated classrooms, but ended in tear gas, fire and flying projectiles. In the streets of Paris on Tuesday, young people rejected both being violent and being sent to the streets by the extreme left. But like a left-wing mayor, 18-year-old Auguste understands well if you "resort to violence." And in the end, a completely different group of "hostile individuals" took over the scene.
