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 Tuesday, urging mass mobilization on Thursday coinciding with a general strike. The Education Minister noted that while protests are a right, they should not hinder students from attending classes. Despite some schools being blocked, the overall situation was calm. The government recently proposed measures to address educational demands, but student organizations are calling for more significant investment. The Interior Minister expressed support for police efforts during the protests.
