"Macron's France has practiced unchecked immigration and open borders for decades. The price is overcrowded schools, lawless areas in the suburbs, and streets that look like war zones. This is the future that open border advocates want for America," wrote the son of the American president, Don Jr., on X. #Trump #immigration #France (translated)

Vincent Lapierre stated that the exercise was more difficult than his critics on X thought. He mentioned a constant threat of violence and a strong reaction to a simple joke, which he believed forced him to proceed with caution. He also described the time needed to respond to what he considered fallacious arguments as considerable. According to him, Elwan did not address his comments on the differences between the RN and fascism, the resources allocated to suburb plans, the situation of suburban residents, the generosity of the French social system, or racial profiling, for which Lapierre claimed to rely on a study. He accused Elwan of staying in the rhetoric and bouncing from one topic to another. Lapierre clarified that he was not seeking to win the debate, but to gather testimonies without being attacked and to allow the audience to form their own opinion. He distinguished reporting from debating and claimed to be, to his knowledge, the only one who had given these high school students a voice without provoking confrontation. He believed that this tact explained why his reports were viewed beyond the right-wing Internet sphere. #Débat #Journalisme #Témoin (translated)

Thousands of high school students, parents, and teachers gathered in Paris to demand an improvement in education conditions, denouncing the lack of resources in suburban schools in the face of rising tensions and blockages on a national scale. #MobilisationLycéenne #EducationNationale #SaintDenis (translated)

Permanente Revolution reported that dozens of students from Louis-le-Grand had blocked their institution in the morning, in solidarity with the suburban high school students targeted, according to the media, by police repression. They chanted "We are all antifascists." https://t.co/etWIAeDoL8 #Solidarité #Éducation #Antifascisme (translated)

The high school blockade movement, emerging from popular suburbs, reflects a political awakening among the youth, raising hopes for educational change while navigating risks of excesses and an inability of adults to question the system. #Lycée #Blocus #JeunessePolitique (translated)

High school students in France are protesting against the absence of substitute teachers, overcrowded classrooms, and the deterioration of school infrastructure, while expressing their solidarity with classmates from the suburbs suffering from difficult learning conditions. #Lycéens #Éducation #Revendiquer (translated)

What is currently happening in France has nothing to do with student protests or democratic expression! 83 police officers were attacked, 32 teachers injured, hundreds of schools were set on fire, vehicles and churches were burned. There were nearly 2,000 arrests, the French Ministry of the Interior reported last night. The street scene is dominated by masked groups in outfits and young people, most of whom come from the migrant environments shaped by the suburbs, many are waving Palestinian flags. When you see these civil war-like conditions, you have to put it in context: How upset were we back then about "Fridays for Future" when school was skipped on Fridays for the climate? Compared to what is happening in France, that was harmless kindergarten. You can think what you want about the movement at that time, but no rescue workers were beaten into the hospital or school inventory destroyed there. France is a massive warning signal for Germany! When the state retreats in front of burning streets and watches ideologized and unintegrated groups take control, the monopoly on violence erodes completely. A zero-tolerance strategy is needed before such scenes become a reality for us too! #TheFrench #UrbanLandscape #Terror #TheFrench #Stadtbild #Terror #Frankreich #Proteste #Gewalt (translated)

Philémon, representing the leftist people with Eustache... It's very good to have political opinions when you're a high school student, but they will come out unscathed from this crisis and no one will set H4 on fire. The children from the suburbs that we will have pushed to destroy their high school will find themselves with nothing. #Politique #Éducation #Lycéens (translated)

In Marseille, the students of the Victor Hugo High School crossed a danger line by mimicking mafia practices with a macabre act of violence against school administrators, reflecting a growing social tension and protest in the French suburbs. #Marsiglia #proteste #scuola (translated)

I find journalists comfortable with the idea of filming and publishing easily identifiable faces of minors since the beginning of the blockades. Do you have permission from the legal representatives? The right to the image of minors is regulated, even when they come from the suburbs. #DroitÀLImage #Journalisme #ProtectionDesMineurs (translated)

🔴 Here is the scene filmed by the video surveillance cameras of a bakery in Petit-Quevilly, in the suburbs of Rouen. The scene took place around 9 a.m. this Thursday morning, while the manager was in the back room and his employee was preparing sandwiches. Several hooded and masked youths burst into the store to steal... displays of lollipops and candies before fleeing. The bakery is located near the Élisa-Lemonnier high school, particularly affected by the riots of recent days. This Thursday morning, its principal was notably attacked in the neck with a metal bar and sprayed with gas. The brand new facade was also vandalized. Frustrated, the baker decided to publish the images on social media, accompanied by these words: 🗣️ “We, artisans, have been suffering for months from rising prices of our raw materials, ever-increasing taxes, and mind-boggling taxes. We do everything we can to get by and avoid impacting the purchasing power of our customers. And today, this gang of degenerates dared to enter OUR place. The goal? To steal!” Contacted by @Valeurs, he indicated that he intends to file a complaint. #Sécurité #Boulangerie #Économie (translated)

ALERT - The Prime Minister FEARS THAT THE HIGH SCHOOL CRISIS MAY PERSIST for SEVERAL MONTHS, possibly until the presidential election. His advisors, including several former prefects, are observing an unprecedented "CONVERGENCE OF STRUGGLES" between young people from the suburbs and the city center, coming from very different social backgrounds.

The justifications for blocking the high schools seem doubtful to me. Looking a bit at the videos of the demands: ▫️"We are 25 or 30 per class" Well... that's not a lot, 25 or 30, in middle school and high school, we were between 35 and 40 every year... ▫️"The facilities are unsanitary" Well, that's often a reality, but a few minutes on TikTok are enough to understand that it's partly due to repeated damage by the students. ▫️"The class hours from 8 AM to 6 PM are too long" It's always been like that and we already have a lot of vacations; it's either one or the other. ▫️The cost and quality of the cafeteria: they are right about this, but with such a low cost relative to the real price and inflation, it's a logical consequence. ▫️Parcoursup and the future: this is the fault of the system that wants to give the Bac to everyone, even though there are no more job prospects. The problem is not Parcoursup but the too large number of high school students. ▫️"We are not replacing teachers" Given the working conditions, it’s not surprising. Overall, it only takes 5 minutes to watch the hundreds of videos to understand the issue. 80% of high school students don't care about the above demands; most are there for opportunism. The argument about disparities between suburbs and city centers is real, especially for Paris (the high schools in the center that pretend to support the movement are bold), but once again, the financial means allocated there are greater than for other territories, peri-urban or rural, and there are no riots there. And we can see clearly that this is just a pretext for the riot. We hear "the police are attacking the high school students." Really, I didn't think that by burning the high school entrance and throwing cobblestones at the riot police, they would charge back... All of this promises an explosive year in 2027… #Éducation #Lycées #Réformes (translated)

Partie de plusieurs lycées de banlieue parisienne il y a environ une semaine, la mobilisation a concerné 356 établissements partout en France mercredi, contre 338 mardi à la même heure, a indiqué le ministre de l'Intérieur Laurent Nuñez, en conférence de presse. #BlocagesLycées #MobilisationÉtudiante #ÉducationFrance

I worked for over 20 years in a suburb of Seine Saint-Denis while the unsanitary housing was being reported. I worked for 10 years at the Santé prison while the detention conditions were being reported. And yet I saw well-maintained housing, very clean cells ... depending on who occupied these places. Those who degrade complain about their degradations. Not saying it is to deny oneself the opportunity to find solutions. #Logement #ConditionsDeVie #JusticeSociale (translated)

Sans Toi teaser par Ousmane Dembele est clairement un des meilleurs sons de l'album.

« Le débat politique enferme les habitantes et les habitants dans des catégories qui s’ignorent, se méfient ou se craignent.
