Brände und Verletzte: Schulkrawalle in Frankreich weiten sich aus – 625 Festnahmen
Brandstiftungen, verletzte Lehrkräfte und Schüler: Die Proteste an Frankreichs Schulen eskalieren. Wie reagiert Präsident Macron?
In Paris, violent protests and school riots have escalated in intensity and scope, resulting in 625 arrests. Police officers, teachers, and students sustained injuries, according to Interior Minister Laurent Nueñez in Paris. Authorities targeted 356 schools with protest activities. The violence has increased markedly, leading to school damages, arson incidents, and vehicles set ablaze by teachers' cars.
The unrest began on Friday at secondary schools in the Paris metropolitan area, protesting for a lack of resources, shortage of teachers, and deteriorated buildings.
President Emmanuel Macron addressed the concerns of young people, while emphasizing that violence and assaults against police officers, teachers, and journalists reporting on the protests are never justified. He stressed that police officers must uphold their professional duties, and violations should be prosecuted. Macron acknowledged that the primary source of violence lies with those who have attacked teachers and treated them with disrespect.
