In popular neighborhoods, young people from the "2000 generation" are mobilizing: "It's up to us to establish a new balance of power!"

In mid-September, student mobilization began in Créteil and spread to Seine-Saint-Denis, igniting nationwide protests across social classes. The focus shifted to issues in popular neighborhoods, often overlooked in public discourse. On October 17, protests expanded to include the fight against rising living costs, leading to chaos in several cities, with residents blamed for violence. A racially motivated attack on October 23 highlighted the vulnerability of these communities. Young people in Parisian suburbs express fear of violence based on their appearance and a desire to confront systemic discrimination, marking their first significant public demonstration.
