LIVE, demonstrations on October 24: in Paris, the inter-union maintains the route between Bastille and Nation despite the ban

The inter-union group in Île-de-France criticized a new protest route imposed by the prefecture, claiming it is unsafe. President Emmanuel Macron emphasized the need for a thorough overhaul of the Parcoursup system during a meeting with high school students, promising concrete decisions soon. Meanwhile, left-wing parties filed a complaint against Macron's statements discouraging protests. Increased police presence is planned for upcoming demonstrations, with partial curfews in several cities. Despite a prefectural ban, unions in Clermont-Ferrand are urging protests, asserting their right to demonstrate. The dialogue between Macron and student organizations was constructive but lacked specific outcomes, prompting calls for continued mobilization.
