Secondary school movement in Seine-Saint-Denis: violence overshadows demands
According to leparisien.fr, the prefect of Seine-Saint-Denis strongly condemned the violence that accompanied the secondary school movement in the department, stating that "a minority of idiots is putting the success of students at risk". For the State representative, the initial demands of the secondary school students were eclipsed by acts of violence.
The government announced that approximately 240 members of the Education service were injured during this movement. Firework mortar fire was notably reported in the corridors of several school establishments, including a secondary school in Chelles where pupils were ordered to confine themselves. The Unité Police union denounced the use of mortars, describing this tool as "fashionable" among troublemakers.
Similar incidents were also reported south of Nantes, where firework mortar fire outside a secondary school slightly injured several pupils, leading to an arrest.
