Strike on November 10: students, high school students, and teachers mobilized again to "put pressure on the government"

As discussions with the government stall, a coalition of youth and teacher organizations has called for a new day of strikes and protests on November 10. The inter-union group, including CGT, FSU, and UNEF, argues that the government's responses to student demands are inadequate. While 1.6% of teachers participated in the strike, 49 high schools were blocked, with significant protests occurring in cities like Lyon and Marseille. Tensions escalated in some areas, leading to police intervention. Authorities are preparing for potential violence during the protests, urging security measures. Student leaders emphasize the importance of continued mobilization for better educational conditions.
