Europe4 sources4 countries17m ago
France is preparing for fresh nationwide student demonstrations protesting poor classroom conditions. The mobilization includes a scheduled march through Paris starting at 1200 GMT, alongside simultaneous marches in other cities across the country.
The protests have received backing from labor unions and the far-left Opposition France Unbowed party. During previous demonstrations, students piled up dumpsters and other obstacles to block access to high schools, occasionally resulting in clashes with police.
Authorities have expressed concerns regarding potential violence during the upcoming events, following a large turnout and associated disruptions observed in recent protests.
