Here at home, in Nice, violence has settled in. 18 high schools disrupted in the Alpes-Maritimes, fireworks, fires, 15 injured including 7 police officers. One can want better study conditions without burning down one's own high school. I fully support our forces. (translated)
I see the communication space, I hadn't noticed this negative energy against the farmers' actions: it burned a building in Narbonne, all the chaos on the highways, damaged urban furniture, it was really hardcore and they were RIGHT to protest too. (translated)
Unbearable images of a high school burning in Nantes. No claims can justify attacking the School of the Republic. I call on the justice system to relentlessly punish the authors of this barbaric act! (translated)
But demonstrating does not mean breaking, destroying, burning. I totally disapprove of acts of delinquency, whatever they may be. (translated)
The violence that is escalating today in front of many high schools in France is extremely worrying. It is unacceptable. Burning a high school, damaging a public establishment, attacking a teacher, a firefighter, or a police officer is not protesting. It is destroying and committing violence. Nothing can justify it. Nothing can excuse it. I understand the revolt of the French who work, who pay their taxes, and who see the public facilities they have financed and that their children need being degraded or going up in smoke. In a country that is already facing so many difficulties, destroying what belongs to everyone is truly outraging. Nothing can justify preventing those who want to study from accessing high schools either. The authors of violence and destruction must be identified and held accountable for their actions. There can be no complacency with those who break, burn, or attack. The cynical exploitation of high school students by LFI and the political forces that want to fuel conflict is scandalous. Everything can spiral out of control very quickly. And any tragedy would inevitably be exploited by those who have an interest in social confrontation. Total support for the civil servants who carry out their missions with awareness, calmness, and professionalism. Recognition to all those who work to restore calm: parents, responsible trade unions, and all others. What we are experiencing gives a pretty clear idea of what the networks of an extreme left are preparing, which despises democratic rules and betrays republican values. (translated)
Same troubles, same reactions. This is not supposed to be our first mission (but rather that of the State) but I again congratulate the Municipal Police officers for their determined and "clinical" action this morning in front of certain high schools. Result: 8 individuals apprehended in front of 3 high schools for attempted arson, firework shootings, and violence against public authority representatives. The parents of minors will also be summoned. The Municipal Police also prevented the blockade of an establishment. Thus we are dealing with this little delinquency that breaks, burns, assaults, and does not respect the uniform, public space, or institutions. Politically, LFI will have to assume all its responsibilities in its instrumentalization of a certain youth for insurrectionary purposes. (translated)
We repeat it once again: there are reasons to demonstrate all over the country, and in high schools without teachers, there are too! But I haven't seen nurses burning down hospitals, hitting doctors, or setting fire to fire trucks while complaining that people are dying in emergency rooms. The comparison with the Yellow Vests is also abusive. There is nothing related between crowds of hysterical teenagers (who take no social responsibility), who break and burn without any reaction from the public authorities, on the eve of a key electoral deadline, and a popular and good-natured social movement, composed of adult people, who were progressively pushed towards violence due to police violence and hundreds of serious injuries. This is probably an operation aimed at distorting the democratic process and justifying a lockdown of the country. Watch out for Article 16. (translated)
🔴🇫🇷 ARCHIVE - In 2023, Jean-Luc Mélenchon said that LFI "has never been for violence" and he particularly insisted on the younger ones by saying "school is the most sacred temple." Today the schools are burning. (translated)
🔴🇫🇷 MARSEILLE - A bus has been burned and you can see a trail of flames. (translated)
The politicians are quite weak while we see what our taxes are financing burning and our children being put in danger. This country is doomed. (translated)
🚨 FRENCH HIGH SCHOOLS ARE BURNING The BLOCKADES continue everywhere in France, especially at the Nelson Mandela high school in NANTES, which was set on fire this MORNING!! The movement is now expected to extend to universities. (translated)
High school students, young generations, spread this. You are worth more than the actions that turn against you. Burning and throwing stones is not a strategy: it is a costly, predictable reflex that provides the opponent with exactly the images and excuses they need. The inefficiency is total here. If the goal is truly to have an impact, the method is the opposite. Remain still, lying down, silent, like inert bodies. Passive, calm, and collective obstruction is much more embarrassing than a confrontation that one already knows how to handle. It deprives the power of its usual narrative and places the cost of disorder on its side. Be legendary! We love you! https://t.co/QQyclCW27r (translated)
The Nelson Mandela high school that is burning in Nantes is a recent school that has modern facilities! It's okay, in the end, it's @NicolasQuiPaie! Let’s clarify that the mayor of Nantes, supported by LFI, requested that there be no arrests. 😳 (translated)
Let's reiterate the basics: if a burned trash can shocks you more than high school students studying in unheated classrooms, with classes of 35 students, and institutions falling into ruins, you are part of the problem. (translated)
The last time this church (which became a temple in 1534) burned was in 1904 during the German annexation. (translated)
France is burning, but Macron parades in Spain in persistent ridiculousness! (translated)
One Day. One Sketch. France is burning, but Macron is, as always, away during these events and talks about football in front of the King of Spain. It's hard to be more out of touch. (translated)
It's really a shame to start with ultra-legitimate demands and end up burning your own high school. I'm not sure it improves learning conditions. Stop being silly for 30 seconds. (translated)
"More than 400 houses are burning, that's too much. We want answers." (translated)
Blockade of high schools - Watch the video of Gabriel Attal addressed to the mobilized high school students: "The images of burning trash cans in front of your high schools, that's what we risk remembering about you. Not your demands, not your anger." #gabrielattal #education (translated)
