Greta Thunberg Joins French Student Protests Over School Conditions and Police Response
Swedish activist Greta Thunberg joined French high school students protesting nationwide over under-resourced schools, teacher shortages, overcrowded classrooms, and poor facilities. The protests, centered in Saint-Denis near Paris, have led to over 200 school closures and clashes with police, including allegations of violence and thousands of detentions. Thunberg condemned the police response as "extremely violent" and emphasized young people's exclusion from decision-making. The demonstrations have drawn support from unions and opposition parties but remain unresolved after four weeks.
