French Student Protests and School Blockades Resume Amid Ongoing Discontent
French high school and university students resumed protests and blockades starting November 2, 2026, following a two-week break. The demonstrations, part of a broader movement against rising living costs and education conditions, have involved hundreds of schools nationwide. The government introduced measures addressing some demands, but student groups say these fall short. While protests have occasionally turned violent, recent blockades have been smaller, with authorities emphasizing the illegality of school blockades and maintaining a police presence.
