Students call for two new protest days in France for Tuesday and Thursday

French student organizations have called for two new protest days on Tuesday and Thursday, continuing their standoff with the government. Following the autumn break, participation in protests was minimal. The National Union of Students of France (UNEF) announced a "black day" for universities on November 3, urging mass mobilization on November 5, coinciding with a general strike. The Education Minister noted that while protests are a right, they should not impede students attending classes, especially those preparing for exams. The government recently proposed measures to address educational sector demands, but student organizations are calling for further investment. The Interior Minister expressed support for police efforts during the protests, acknowledging their dedication amid ongoing challenges.
