‘The whole world is watching with awe’: Greta Thunberg joins French school protests
Europe2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported2m ago
Activist Greta Thunberg joined French teenagers participating in a new day of school protests, drawing international attention as rallies took place across the country. The demonstrations aimed to highlight youth concerns, though the events in several locations were disrupted by civil unrest.
While the majority of the latest rallies remained peaceful, some demonstrations turned violent. In Paris and surrounding areas, masked protesters threw projectiles at police and lit street fires, prompting authorities to deploy tear gas to control the crowds. Similarly, local authorities in Lyon requested that organizers cancel a scheduled march after a group of hostile individuals vandalized local shops and a petrol station while clashing with police ahead of the main procession.
