Bildungskrise: Erneut große Proteste in Frankreich – „Wir machen auf jeden Fall weiter“
In vielen Städten demonstrieren erneut Zehntausende Schüler und Studenten. Die Bewegung verliert zwar etwas an Schwung, wird aber zunehmend von Wahlkampf und Haushaltsdebatte überlagert.
Paris, Strasbourg, and Lyon saw yet another wave of tens of thousands of students take to the streets on Tuesday. This marks the third consecutive week of protests. Over 200 schools remained closed, and a third of universities experienced disrupted operations, according to the Ministry of Education and Higher Education. While the movement had lost some momentum, the presidential election campaign and debates over the country's strained finances have now overshadowed the protests.
At the Lycée Turgot in Paris' third arrondissement, the entrance was barricaded with trash bins in the morning. Around 50 students gathered peacefully outside the building, planning to join one of the two major demonstrations in Paris later. A student leader called out "Solidarité" or solidarity into a megaphone, expressing their purpose.
The 17-year-old Élodie and her friend Madeleine explained, "We are part of a class of 36 students." They shared, "Our school is regularly renovated." However, they acknowledged that the situation in the suburbs was quite different.
